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. 😍

I’d added it to my basket at the weekend but it no longer applies - annoying!!

Thank you, I’ll look - my neck is a problem area in last year or so. I’ve just noticed I’ve so shadows under my eyes - hoping tiredness rather than anything I need to tackle !!

I’ve convinced myself I need this bag in every colour, and that it makes sense because it’s £10 more than RRP for all the stuff inside, even though a lot of it is bronze and tan products. To be fair, picnic bags, baskets and picnic ware is a weak spot for me, so picnics and beauty together was always going to be a tough one. I’d use the bags for packed lunch, ice creams and picnics. Each colour for different occasion, navy for work, pink for weekend, stone for smarter weekend stuff. DH doesn’t follow my logic 😂 https://www.revolve.com/revolve-beauty-summer-essentials-beauty-bag-in-laurens-navy-stripe/dp/RBEA-WU73

@SummerLimes you sound like you are tackling similar problems to me. I kid you not I was walking around JL with 2 different eye serums and the neck cream on today to see if they had any impact whilst I was shopping. My DD was very embarrassed but hey it’s good to try before you buy. I didn’t like either of the eye serums.. Chantelcaille rose didn’t do anything and the blanc peony def worked in terms of smoothing and puffing but it was too stingy for me. Neither helped with dark circles. I really liked the applicator though. I have just returned the rose one to SNk because they decided not to send the free gift so I feel like I’ve saved £130 which is a very similar price to the neck cream so technically it will be free. 😬

if you’ve not tried the MZ skin one which was heavily reduced in tkmaxx and in the recent Liberty edit, It’s worth a try because it’s very brightening for dark under eyes but stupidly priced normally. .

Thanks for the new thread. I thought the other thread had gone a bit quiet! 😆

Shame there aren't less tanning products. Id have gotten it

Floral street poppy is on tkmaxx for £19.99 and the Ylang Ylang Espresso edp is on for £14.99. Both are in a 50ml size.

I've got this exact bag but in a mint from fab fit fun. It was the old slight of hand where the retal product was better and this was a reduced quality version that fab fit fun does without changing RRP. It's still going not had heavy use but I had to get needle and thread out to repair the shoddy stiching before I could even use it. This one https://fabfitfun.com/product/business--pleasure-co-cooler-tote-bag?internal_redirection=true I'd be wary of it being worth RRP link has reviews which might be worth a look if you really like the bag.

Fairy has cult hair gwp on vinted.

There's my cooler on vinted for £22 plus the rest https://www.vinted.co.uk/items/9243005046-business-pleasure-beach-bag-bnwt?referrer=catalog

New John Lewis reward for a 20g Elemis cleansing balm, this isn’t a favorite but a perfect size to take away with you, I needed nothing else so have done click and collect for £2.95
They also have a beauty showcase in London in July and tickets are £35

Found you all, I thought the thread had gone weirdly quiet! Thanks for the new thread @OvaHere.

@MrsBnow12 oh boo, I don’t have that reward!

Oh I have this eye girl. I need to find it x

Boots have the Elf double ended angled brush in stock today, am sure it was out of stock yesterday. As a huge F4 Makeup by Mario fan I am looking forward to trying it

I was about to order a dress from JL anyway so I’ve nabbed the cleansing balm. Thanks for the tip @MrsBnow12!

Typical ive just placed a few orders with john lewis 🤣

New (i think) selfridges beauty kit. £55. I normally love their kits but I’m really not feeling this one.

also CB have 20% of Saie. If you get the vanity case you also get a free scrunchy, free lip oil and the current GWP. I’m quite tempted by this but I need to go a sit with my mounds of stash so I realise that I don’t need it and have no space left to put it.

edited to add the cb offer is for gold members

Thanks for the heads up @MrsBnow12 - for once I actually already had a couple of sale clothing items in my basket so adding the Elemis was painless!

Is anyone going to the JL paid event?

I cant find the 20g cleansing balm to add. Oos already?

I have booked the 6pm slot, never been to a beauty event so looking forward to it

Shiseido’s sale has started. 26% off stock with code: VIP. It worked on everything I tried without me having to sign into my account.

I don't have it either. Not everyone gets every reward. It seems random.

Is it London only?

I couldn’t find it without clicking through the link on the Rewards page.
