Thanks to everyone who regularly contributes and keeps us whizzing through these threads.

Now we're in June we might be seeing the first Advent reveal before the month is out! Exciting times. 😍

@Beautyfox I want to order the WA Hydrobalm in Onyx but there’s nothing I really need/ want to make the order up to £50 which is annoying!

It looks like it added because I added 2 of the Marvis toothpaste to the order which are apparently Father’s Day gifts 🤷‍♀️

edited to add that the toothpastes were about £7.00 with the 20% discount so you could technically get this free with quite a low spend because it’s a 2 products requirement rather than minimum spend.

I was the same as there was only one product I wanted. hence why I ended up adding a few toothpastes which I quite liked from one of the beauty advent calendars to make up the spend.

Im watching Charlotte Hodcroft vid now. I was keeping the Emma Lewisham, although have way too many spfs and not using that much as the weather here in Manchester is awful. Its sunny where she is. Doesnt feel like June 😕
I loved the supernatural creme that was in a Caroline Hirons kit a few years back. One of the first things I bought off the freaks Facebook page and I finished it. 😍
Have an Emma Lewisham serum to try as well.
Going to Trafford centre on Mon so going to write down some of my perfumes to go and try irl.

Yes, I have. I’m signing up for them all, just in case I really like them 😊

Seems a bit pointless to sign up, not like I won't know within milliseconds when it goes on sale from you lot!

Also does anyone remember last year harrods had a sign up and then released early and didn't tell the people who had signed up ..

I love the eyeshadow palette. But the price?? 😕
And I dont wear much eyeshadow. I forget 🤣

Thank you - I have signed up! I’m fairly sure I’ll be getting it this year, it’s what I save my BD for really. It would have to be relentless PK Elasticiser and shiny Supergoop to put me off!

I see VB had the eye wardrobe in Orchid back in stock. I want it. I don’t need it, obvs. But I want it!

In non-beauty purchases, I was stalking a cardigan on the Jigsaw website, it is now 30% off and I found a code for a further 20% off. Couldn’t stack it with free postage but I’m happy with that and it is on its way to me!

Is anyone able to find me a promo code for Jarrolds please? 🙂

My Chanel Les Beiges Water Fresh Tint arrived today. I’m excited to try it but probably have too many foundations open at the moment to justify it!

Vinted have finally caught up with me and told me I'm commercially selling and to delete my listings or get a ban! I'm a bit fed up with them - they have a rule against commercially selling on a standard account but then don't let you sell in the beauty category on a pro account. I'm fed up being lowballed every five minutes so think I'll go back to Ebay, which is slower but a lot easier to navigate as a seller. I do buy half my wardrobe off vinted so want to keep my account as a buyer. It's taken Vinted a good year to catch up with me, but maybe the algorithms are getting more sophisticated.

@IDontHateRainbows That’s so annoying. I’ve never tried to sell anything on Vinted but I have to say eBay has been particularly slow recently so I am thinking about giving it a go! I have a lot of listings though so it might not be worth it if I immediately get branded a commercial seller.

I used this for Jarrolds last week: SALE26 (20%/10% off) .

Note sure if it is still active, but worth a try!

That happened to me last week also, so have moved to ebay for all beauty/skincare stuff .. but keeping clothes etc - basically anything not new - on vinted . But ebay is very slow...

The fathers day gift didn't add for me, I'll maybe try again later. I had put two items in...

Ebay is swings and roundabouts, I sold around 10 things yesterday, other days just 1 or 2.
Hoping as more commercial beauty sellers get banned from vinted the market will move to ebay.

So problem with CB, I have to use a voucher code to get the 20% but I can't use an existing voucher because of this and then I get another £10 voucher and rinse and repeat and a growing collection of vouchers. It's a ponzi scheme.

Well my Space NK order has finally turned up, only 13 days after I ordered it. It was split over 3 different parcels which randomly turned up without warning, so my house is now overrun with cardboard boxes. But in fairness, it did all arrive apart from one of the samples, so maybe I'll forgive them.

Now I just need to do some serious self-care and use up the many face and hair masks that I've got in my stash - I'm quite good at using up most things, but anything that takes more than 10 minutes goes into a pile to use later - and then never gets used.

I save the gift cards for the edits because they often don’t work with discount codes but I agree it’s very very annoying.

My Liberty edit has arrived and I love it all. I'd completely missed that the Emma Lewisham has niacinamide though 🤦‍♀️

My Liberty edit arrived too but I'm too tired to open it. I've had a bit of a crazy work week. I have just secured a very decent pay rise though so bring on advent season. 😂

Congrats, we're still waiting for our pay rise from April. Pesky April moving around and being hard to anticpiate and plan for.

I'm public sector the April pay rise doesn't usually come through til December I call the back pay the 'public sector xmas bonus. Will hopefully pay for my advent calendars.

I decided to list a few things on Vinted and I’ve already made my first sale, so we’ll see how this goes 😅 I’ve mainly only heard negative things.
