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

[OvaHere]

Sorry everyone! I didn't realise how near the end of the old thread we were.

What on earth have you all done with yourselves for the last few hours? 😂

As always everyone welcome to join in and hopefully this is the thread we see the first 'big' BAC reveal. 😍

Also annoyingly, CB are digging in their heels over my -126 points.
No biggie as I can use a different email address if need be, but I don’t know if I can be bothered doing that for the current offer given there’s nothing I specifically want/need

I’ve gone back into CB and ordered the WA HydroBalm in Onyx I’ve been wanting for a while. If/ when the voucher comes through I might order another Chase the Sun Edit with it. I used Status Points for the WA HydroBalm so only paid £11.

For anyone who might be interested the WA edits (just Fair and Dark as Medium is OOS) come down to £60 with TREAT and it adds the £10 gift card at check out (so £50, using girl math?).

Thanks. I was looking out for this being revealed but relieved there's nothing I want in it.

CT has some summer mystery boxes £54

Slightly tempted by the Blushing Beauty one as it looks like it has the Cheek to Chic blush in it. Going by the model they've used I think it will be the Pillow Talk original shade which I already got as a freebie a while back. I really like it and wouldn't object to another shade. Too risky for a gamble so will pass unless I see the contents somewhere.

I bought the Caroline Hirons kit, it’s not as good as some of her others but enough in it for me to buy and will sell
the items I don’t want. looking forward to trying the Rehab body milk; mimetique moisturiser and eye serum

This looks lovely !

The voucher code did come through but it’s not working so I’ve contacted CB 😅

See you can also get a £10 gift card with vouchercodes on a £60 spend too, making it £40 🤔

Apologies if this has already been mentioned.

@keepincoolyes I had an email about this at lunchtime today.
I already bought the Harpers bazaar & Red bundle the other month which was was also excellent value.
Really tempted on this offer too but I’ll sit on it for a but.

@26inprogressthat’s interesting about the Japanese rice masks.
There is an instagram account naturalfacebible where a lady does a lot of face taping (no way I can put DH through witnessing that every night 😂) and she also used these face masks she makes from a special rice powder. I know she is naturally beautiful and has amazing bone structure which helps and I know she is selling her own tape and rice powders. So very much an advertising account like they all are. But you can probably source the special powders online. I can’t remember the details but it’s not like plain rice flour. It is something leftover after processing. I can’t remember but it’s on my to do list to investigate one day.

I managed to find the other Morphe Cloudlight blush shade I wanted in Boots today. I now have Wisp and Fluff. Those are the two I like best for spring/summer. I may look at some of the deeper shades later on for autumn/winter.

I did not need these in any shape or form but they're another Morphe win for me.

Still want to buy the Guerlian powder from Escentuals, so please forgive me asking again if the discount code is still working for anyone else? Might do it anyway, but another 25% off would be nice!

Sparks gave me another £6 reward if I do a £30 beauty spend, I do like the simplicity that it’s just £6 reward and no restrictions to spending it later.

Oh, I forgot….cleansers….many!

By the sink:

Numbuzin #3 rice cleansing foam (slightly exfoliating) - love this

Beauty of Joseon Green Plum - gentle, foaming, love it

Caudalie VinoHydra - gentle, foaming, love it. No excuse to have this in use as well

Cerave Salicylic acid- gets my skin super clean, it’s a constant. Also love it

Liz Earle Cleanse and polish. Meh. Disappointing. Look forward to finishing eventually.

Elemis Rose Balm - gorgeous now I’ve got the hang of the balm thing. Trying to make it last.

Edited: forgot :

Garnier Micellar Water

Clarins Instant Eye Makeup Remover : this stuff is the absolute BOMB! I buy 3 bottles at a time. Nothing else comes close.

In the shower:

Origins Refesh foaming - love the smell, does the job

Clarins Exfoliating- too harsh. Now using on body. Swerve this for face!

The code stopped working for me so I've done the sensible thing and abandoned my cart..

Fenwick have a rest and restore beauty kit some may be interested in. It's £95. I'm oj the fence as there's only a couple of things in there i really like.

For those that were looking at Escentuals, the codes often only work for a day or two, however they do have them quite regularly

Also Boots have £10 in points for a £60 and looks to be a generic offer across the board

@Fillybuster thanks for the cleanser reviews.i have a Caudalie one in the queue (it’s not a stash, it’s a queue 😀) so might bump that one forward as it sounds good!

Thanks @MsNobody and @MrsBnow12 - I’ll watch and wait!

Meanwhile, I left Morphe brushes and a BoJ face mask in my CB basket for a few hours yesterday and they added two beauty freebies for any skincare order alongside the 20% discount (not on mask) plus £10 voucher. Used Quidco for the first time ever too! Hoping to place order for the long awaited WA edit today if that finally gets it down to an acceptable price!!

Should have saved it for the empties thread - if I ever get there with any of them! 😂

Could today be the day for the Liberty AC reveal? I looked back and it was available for pre order from Wed 2nd July last year (I think the reveal was the same day?) Also they’ve sent out the July vouchers today so the timing would seem good.

First advent reveal! Just got the Liberty email!

Well sleuthed @ElizabethG81

Yes email just arrived. Off to check it out!!!!

Liberty’s idea of full size and mine differ very much. I’m on the fence as usual. Have a lot of credit to use though….. Nothing from La Mer this year.
