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’m happy to help out, can’t do it all sorry but happy to help as much as I can.

Thanks @OvaHere . I like having separate BAC threads to talk about selling, buying, DODs, buying multiple BACs in a place devoted to that. I’m personally planning to blind buy one of them, so want a thread I can specifically avoid too.

Id be happy to help out but I am completely clueless as to how to start/continue a new thread. .♥️

More Tana Meadow in Liberty advent. It's ok. I got in CH founders edit but not amazing. Im not sure ill end up getting it. X

It's fairly easy. Just start a new thread in Style and Beauty. Copy and paste the thread title (adding thread 2, 3 or whatever the number is) and copy/paste relevant info from the OP of the previous thread, adding any updates as needed. Post the link to the new thread at the end of the old thread.

Beauty detective is back up

I’ll try to chip in for the advent threads as well. I’m a bit of a rookie but I’ll do my best 😁

This looks good value though you'd have to really want the murad I think https://beautycalendar.com/debenhams-the-summer-icons-edit-2026/

You are not a rookie 🤣

🤣🤣

Thanks @OvaHere - I will help too, if I can.

Thanks for this, I do like the Murad. I’m currently using it (probably on my 3rd pot) and have another in my stash. Worth stocking up on another at that price 😃
I will buy just one though, I have a few night creams/masks to get through

Haha, thanks - I think 😅 😇

Thanks for that, also has really good reviews on John lewis, even with the niacinamide for £35 you've convinced me to give it a go.

Looks like that Harrods perfume tote sold out fast. Did anyone buy it?

I bought one, thought I would buy it and then check notes etc this evening and decide what I will keep.
Although may try and get to Harrods to actually try some in person

I'm on holiday but saw a link to it at 2pm unfortunately by then it had sold out.

It was on CatchAGem's Instagram stories, he has a huge following and can sell deals out quickly

The 2 Ex Nihilo perfumes are lovely. If I didn't already have them in my birthday set I might have gone for it just for those. I don't think either of the 30ml scents would have been for me. Rude Oud from the 2025 advent is still sat unopened whilst I go back and forth on whether to keep it.

Good value set though so not surprised it sold out fast.

Those are the two I am most looking forward to, Imsold
my Rude Oud but reading some reviews they say the Elixir is softer and not so in your face so may appeal more
to me and that the MC Musc Nurasana is simialr
to Impadia so looking forward to trying that.
I wonder if these are the ones that didn’t make the advent cut but who knows.

Interesting. I may have liked the MC one then. Too late now though.

I finally signed up to Liberty BD this morning: the new intro offer of £20 for 3 months swung it for me, as that gives me a chance to decide if I’m going to get value from it before it starts properly costing per month, iyswim. That said, the BAC does not appeal at all! Watching out for Harrods and SNK with interest. Never had one but open to trying new things (she says, eyeing up her growing blush collection….!)

Just had an email from CB saying they had added £10 worth of points for spending with them in june. It has just appeared on my account no need for a code so it may be worth checking you email. When I opened the app there was also a spin the wheel pop and they email you the outcome of the prize however 10mins on and I have’t yet received the email.

edited to add the lucky spin was code for 15% off

The bits I ordered from Cult Beauty yesterday arrived today. I’m impressed with the Chase the Sun Edit, there’s a chunky amount of stuff in there for the £32 I paid.

@Beautyfox I just checked and my points have added. I've got £25 in credit now. Might hang on to it in case I like the BAC this year.

I’m still -126 points with CB and there’s no spin the wheel in the app for me 😅

I am tempted to set up another account, but I’m very reluctant to give them my money with their terrible CS!!
