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

Sorry I forgot the link

It went on Vinted. I've had a few of them but always sold on. I've got enough SPF with the various k beauty ones I know I like.

I've given in and bought off the fairy again for the hair gwp. Frustrating as I'm sure she (I think she's a woman!) had 2 for £20 the other day but I missed out. Price was 13.99, so £17 something all in, but my hair is crying out for "something" 😂

Did anyone else buy the big sparkly pot of Prai neck cream from M&S a few months ago? I've just opened mine (Elevator just ran out 😭) and it's very thick and gloopy. Is that just how it is or has it gone off? I've tried a few expiry checker sites but none of them have Prai listed.

@namechange0998776554799000 - I had a mini of the Prai cream ages ago and think it was quite thick.

Does it smell ok? Ime, creams tend to go runny or separate when ‘off’ and also smell ‘funny’.

I've used the prai cream before, though not for a few months, and also remember it being thicker than most.

I liked it, it did seem to do something, my neck looks much better now than it did before last winter. I'd use it again - though using a No 7 serum at the minute, and have never tried Elevator - I definitely want to!

Agree with others, I’ve got a prai travel size I’m using and it’s gloopy.

@OvaHere thanks for the new thread from me too.

Another mostly lurker here - but really appreciate all the advice, and bargain hunting, even if too tempting sometimes 😅

Ok thanks, I think it is fine then and just how it is. It does have a scent, but not a bad one. I did put it on anyway and I like the feel of it on my skin

She did have 2 for £20 the other day - I spotted that too! I think they’ve added an extra £1 to the price recently too.

I’m still weighing up whether to keep the three Lumene liquid blush I bought in the Boots £10 Tuesday. I really wish there was a counter nearby so I could try them. I definitely don’t need any more blush but I do like the sound of them. I caved for a couple of the UD Moondust eyeshadows in today’s £10 Tuesday. I can’t seem to resist glittery eye shadow at the moment!

I follow the fairy but when I go onto their page it says that they're not selling anything 🤔 I've just declared that I'm not buying anything, but I have money in vinted so I could be tempted 🤣

Ahhh just when we were talking about the travel edits. Here is the cult beauty one.

@namechange0998776554799000 yes it is gloopy, it will pill if you use "too much" (i put it on at night so don't care that much)

I'm so tempted!!!!

Thank you! I really wish I’d bought last years as the bags are SO useful. Though having a white one wasn’t so appealing.

Yes I just realised it has pilled a lot! I'll usually use it at night too though

Here’s the sign up link for Cult Beauty https://t.lt02.net/lp/uRvYxfMJ/the-first-class-edit-waitlist/

Does anyone else find the men's kits are invariably cheaper than the ladies?. Pink tax!

I will still buy it as it's a good deal and I cannot resist!!!

I think the liberty edit is better than the space nk and cult one

Yes the men’s kits are always better value but the bags are uglier

The Miami split perfume looks interesting! I enjoyed the Abel laundry day that was in a kit last year so hoping this will be just as nice.

It has green banana in, hoping it is not the same banana aromachemical that attracts bees!

I'm not interested in the liberty or the cult beauty edits - maybe I'm cured 🫢

I absolutely agree and unless I am totally missing something there is very little that is very (only) male oriented in here? It feels like a lovely couples set to me and as you say at a great price point. I am on a no spend June so I think buying this for my DH still meets my criteria of no spend. 🙈 last time when they launched the Mother’s Day kit on the pre release it wasn’t eligible for the gwp at the time but the following day on general sale then it was eligible for the gwp so I will hold until tomorrow to see if it’s the same.

Fenwicks have launched a GWP. I’m not tempted as I’m trying to not be tempted.
