New thread. Everyone welcome to join to chat about beauty bargains or just beauty in general.

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. 😍

I'm very tempted by the CB edit too - lots of things I'd use.

And definitely agree about the bags - i have an Elizabeth Scarlett version and it's fantastic. Very practical for travelling as well as beautiful.

I'm not fussed either.

I did get excited for a sec because I thought the CB edit had the Advanced Peptides Serum. The bag is nice, I like last years and I like the expensive face mask. Neither are good reasons to get it. It doesn't have a standout product that makes it worth it for me.

I just looked back at last years equivalent (Flight edit) and I only kept and used the bag, the AB face mask and the Summer Fridays serum - which I'm only using up now, a year later!

The Liberty edit is nice enough and I'd be vaguely interested in the eye serum but I have others and don't want to buy an edit just for that.

Hmmm. The CB edit is just a “maybe” for me, I think I can pass on the Liberty one. Comfortably ignoring the fairy’s increasingly expensive hair GWPs too. Might take a look at Fenwick whilst briefly in the safe zone. Let’s pretend I don’t have an ever growing basket on SK….

Just seen this. It's okay for a not too high spend.

At least it has stuff in it. Wasn't it Fenwick that just did the bag sans products last year?

Thanks for the new thread @OvaHere

Im tempted by both the Liberty and CB edits despite getting both the Harrods and SNK GWPs

Marking myself safe from the Fenwicks GWP. Very small sizes of (mostly) the same items turning up everywhere else. But they do have 2 of the TF eyeshadow quads down to £50ish if anyone is interested?

I have gone for Fenwick as like the Juliette and the candle and wanted to try the Gucci lip oil, and needed a new CT setting spray - doesn’t take much to spend £95 these days.
Pity their last edit doesn’t trigger it or may have got that.

I nearly bought another TF eye quad in the Harrods sale. I love the one I've got, I'm wearing it today.

I'm just not sure if Honeymoon or Moonlight Dip would be too similar to Hazy Sensuality - the one I've got. All three look variations on the same quad. The formula is perfect though.

Ive discovered a free next day delivery hack with liberty, if its worth the faff( it is for me) , just add something to your order and then return it( free returns) they then refund the £10 next day charge

I'm always at the post office so no bother for me ..

Ok so it’s very clear I can’t resist. My no spend June is out the window in the second day! After mulling about the Fenwicks gwp I caved when I realised it worked with their rest and recovery edit. 😬
edited to say it’s a rest and restore edit not recovery.

£113 eye serum for a liberty kit that’s £76 for BD…it’ll sell out. That’s what liberty is generally getting right, at least one attractive high value product that you couldn’t get for less even with their other offers…

There's hope for me then 🤣
Although they are pretty samey. I really hope the advents aren't the same. I know ive tried so many brands this last 2 years so takes a bit to impress me 🤣

Very few Dads will actually be in receipt of this edit come Father's Day. 😂

Beauty Edit with BD discount for Mum, and Dad can have a Terry's Chocolate Orange. Or a big Toblerone if he's lucky. 😘

Not now 😢

I’ve just checked and it won’t add for me now. How very strange. It’s definitely on my order confirmation. I’ve selected next day delivery because there wasn’t much of a price difference and I recall what a nightmare Fenwicks were for selling out of gwps but not updating their computer systems quick enough in the past so fingers crossed it arrives tomorrow. 🤞🏻

I'm very pleased with the Father's Day edit - all stuff I'll use except the perfume and probably the body lotion. That Dermalogica moisturiser is such a good one when you don't want any fuss.

Only problem now is that I can't log into my Liberty account... It says something about a security token expiring?

Try asking her if she'll sell 2 for £20 as you saw she offered that yesterday?

Me too. It's a good point to get to though, I have a fair idea of what I like product and brand wise and what I will or won't use. I'm suffering less from FOMO with edits and learning the difference between a good deal and a good deal for me. Not the same thing! 😂

Sometimes I find it works if you don’t log in until requested at the checkout stage.

I've recently rediscovered a lost love for Dermalogica after getting a few full sizes in edit. I used to buy the odd product years ago if I could afford it but somehow it dropped off my radar.

I've got a serum in my recent empties which I thought was really good. I can't remember what edit it came from though. Next have had a spate of full size Dermalogica products in their edits so maybe it was that.

I think they do a Vit C serum that's supposed to be very good? I'll maybe try it next time I run out. I've had a couple of their foaming cleansers to use in the shower that came in edits and they were excellent

I really like Dermalogica.
gah too many tempting things when I’m trying to use up ready for advents.

@JoRaRaRa They have posted on the last thread (15) saying their profile has been blocked on Vinted. Of course, it might not be them at all 😊

@BurningTheToast if you lost the body lotion please send me the link.

Ahem, I’ve suggested we take DH out for lunch…I’ll have to rip the ‘for him’ tag off. I don’t think he’d thank me for the wash bag!
