Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD SIXTEEN

[OvaHere]

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. 😍

Here’s the link to his channel if anyone is interested:

Warning: His titles are a bit clickbaity 😹 and should be taken with a pinch of salt!

I love this idea. My stash is always full, though I do use candles a lot. I go through periods where I won’t trust using them though, ie when DH thinks it’s a bright idea to literally kick off shoes/slippers right near it (in the lounge I might add) 🙄
And my DDog though generally good, can get a bit mischievous at times, so the candle always needs to be supervised

Oh that's a brilliant idea, thanks! Found a cute one on amazon that'll match the decor, with timer and dimmable light levels. Very excited to try this 😁

Oh thanks. Just looked. I have loads of candles. Did get in a good habit but then fell by the wayside. Have so many tealights as well. Getting one of these off amazon.
£12.99. Bargain x

Yep, it's gone. I had an open basket with it in on one device, and when I look at it now, the other items are still showing but the GWP has disappeared. I did order it earlier yesterday, so I hope it arrives!

I didn't get the email for the Hbeauty event and now my local one is fully booked, so that's saved me an expensive day out I guess. I was intending to go but presumed it would be in September like last year so I had time to actually use some stuff up and need to replenish.

I can’t even see the HBeauty event details! Where are people finding this on the site if not sent an email?

Thanks

I ordered yesterday was showing in basket. X

not that I want to encourage spending and I know some regulars here swear off the threads … but the Christmas bargain threads are excellent and the candle warming lamps are a popular item that are often shared when the price goes rock bottom on Amazon or elsewhere https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/christmas/5472616-christmas-bargain-prequel-thread-1?page=8

Thanks @BakeOffRewatch
I joined late last year and did buy some stuff whilst getting caught up in the excitement. I just need to be more sensible this year and breathe. 🤣

I found it:

https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/c/news-events/h-beauty-on-tour?

No availability left at my ‘local’. Plenty elsewhere.

So annoying - I would have signed up if I had known 😿

Looking at the Harrods event, my nearest is Metrocentre, im tempted. More so just for the goody bag, a £100 can be easily spent. Can you just go and shop then get the goody bag and go? Or do i need to stay😂 Id be dragging my partner with me, which i know he wouls be thrilled about😁😂

Thanks @BakeOffRewatch I actually feel in the mood for Christmas shopping. It must be the dreary weather atm. If only beauty advent news started hotting up. Absolutely not interested in the PLouise. I subscribed to the waitlist and the “Hi Babe” email so told me I wasn’t the demographic that the calendar is aimed for. 😬

Ive never looked at Plouise. My moneys safe. For now 🤣🤩
Think they are opening a store in Trafford centre. Or have opened. Not been for ages. X

Hi, StyleKorean have a ‘device week’ running with special offers.

For example, this is $5:

Edited to say: Contains spicules, so may not be for everyone.

I quite like the look of this!

Just as an update from my SNK split delivery earlier in the week - the rest of my order is still showing as awaiting dispatch, even thought I ordered it last Friday.

I raised a query on the website (chat not working - possibly for a reason!) and got an immediate automated reply saying they're still having delays following the warehouse system upgrades, so outstanding orders will be sent by end of this week/early next week.

So basically a bit rubbish - don't order anything if you want it any time soon! I'm waiting with interest to see if the GWP/samples actually turn up, as I'll be returning it if not.

@bookshark mine was split into 3 deliveries. 2 arrived the same next day. The other one took ages maybe over a week. All of the samples and gwp were present though.

I ordered a few things on Tuesday and they all arrived Royal Mail yesterday (I have the limitless delivery thing). I did wonder if it was going to arrive because they weren't dispatched until late and turned up in the evening, but they did turn up.

My split order did arrive within a couple of days of each other. I never got the Tatcha eye cream gwp though.

Tbf it was substituted with what they would claim was an equivalent in cost and ml. Still disappointing though given it was a targeted email offer.

Well they've now replied to my query rather than the automated response, saying they're aiming to get it dispatched by end of next week, i.e. two weeks from the order date.

It wasn't the Limitless Delivery, just free Royal Mail for spending too much (although I thought there used to be some kind of delivery bonus for being Deluxe Tier but that seemed to have disappeared, so maybe I'm imagining it).

Maybe it's just luck as to what you order?

Hi all, I'm a bit late to the party as I've only just found this thread - I have a question: is the Liberty Beauty Drop subscription worth it in terms of quality of products in the box. Thank you

@MoneyMagnet - welcome to the thread!

I joined the BD last summer when there was an offer on.

Liberty keep £60 a year of our BD money, so it works out at £15 for each quarterly bag.

Whether it’s ‘worth’ it depends on if you like/would use the products they give out.

I thought my first bag was well worth £15. There was a reasonably sized perfume in there and some other nice things. However, the second wasn’t nearly as good and the last one was - imo - terrible. It felt like leftover tat from Xmas to me.

Sometimes it’s possible to claw a tiny bit of money back by selling things on eBay or Vinted but it depends if you can be bothered. I sold one thing from the BD for a couple of quid recently and I have given a few bits away.

I probably won’t stay in it beyond this autumn if the July gift is also poor.

This is quite a difficult question to answer because it depends on how you buy your beauty. The beauty drop costs £25 per month in which you get £20 back in credit to spend on beauty. So if you spend lots of money at liberty anyway such as buying their beauty edits or the advent calendar then the actual cost is only £5 per month. For £5 per month you get free delivery regardless of the amount on all products not just beauty, 10% off edits and usually £25 off the advent calendar plus the free quarterly beauty drop box. Personally for me it is absolutely worth it. I regularly buy from Liberty so the free delivery easily pays for the £5 cost per month, I always buy the edits so the 10% also usually more than covers the £5 cost per month and I always buy the advent calendar so based on this alone then I’m already saving money. The box I see as a bonus because I get soo much value from the other things I’ve mentioned. The boxes can be a bit hit and miss but I love receiving them every quarter and there’s usually at least one thing in the box that I really like.
