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 like but looked at the Bob beaute mist ingredients and it's so basic I'd expect it of Boots Botanics range not a £44 mist.
Really would like to try the vyrao though.

Harvey Nicks Summer edit £85

https://beauty-detective.com/harvey-nichols-the-summer-beauty-edit-2026/

Includes the final boss of all PK Elasticiser - 150ml tub!!!!

Also ia CT beauty light wand so they really went for it. 😂

Tbf it's not bad for £85 as there is a 30ml Vyrao perfume too.

Elasticizer - I have actually bought a 1litre tub of it in the past! Not for a few years though 😅I do really like it, it's great for my hair. I've not needed to buy it for ages though, as it's in so many edits, which I'm not personally complaining about 😂

I'm safe from the HN bag anyway, nothing in there i need or want right now

TragicMuse · 02/07/2026 14:16

Safe from the HN bag - I have short hair so a claw clip is useless to me and Bamford always feels a bit ‘pretend luxury’ - like the kind of thing I’d get in a normal hotel spa, not a really swanky place!

The only thing I’d want is the CT wand and I can buy that cheaper than the whole bag.

@namechange0998776554799000 Thank you for the heads up about JL rewards, I wouldn’t have checked otherwise!
I’m sure Another 13 is the one my DS wanted to try. And I have just began using medik8 crystal retinal 3, so this will be handy as a top up.

@Doglover73 Which Westman Atelier mascara is it that you have used? I have so much trouble with panda eyes, and I’ve tried loads of different mascaras.
I’m currently using Ilia and then a light layer of Glossier to give some more definition, which seems to be working okay, though if it’s particularly hot it does run.
I also agree with HN store, I went last year and there was probably 3/4 other people in the shop. The beauty section is too spaced out and looks like they just done have enough brands to fill it up - at the very least they should fill it out with some displays to make it look less bare

The one in this edit. Its not super volumey. Looks natural x

@OvaHere I do like the look of the HN edit, u just had an email about it. I am slightly put off by the CT wand shade (peachgasm) as someone mentioned upthread about it not being the best.
And I don’t really need to be spending another £85 on a few bits - especially as I’ve no idea what the fragrance smells like.

@Doglover73 Thanks, I’ll take a look!

I've just purchased the LiB Sun Smart edit. Code SUNNY25 takes it down to £48.25, with free shipping.

https://www.latestinbeauty.com/products/uv-safety-sun-smart-edit-with-british-beauty-council?variant=52984822301019

I'm keen to try the Ultra Violette spf mist, the Gatineau Vitamin C serum and the Skincycles Lumina Body Shield. I also need an Aloe Vera gel. I also have the Supergoop! Lotion and Sunday Riley lip balm and like both of them 😊

Ooh I was looking at this a few days ago but it was £52. Very tempted now!

There’s 20% off makeup at SpaceNK - not sure if that’s already been mentioned (sorry if it has!).

OvaHere · 02/07/2026 14:29

@Thelifeofawife I'm fairly sure I sold on my 10 ml Sun Rae after a period of indecision. I don't think I disliked it but I have so many I knew I wouldn't reach for those that are just 'nice or 'fine'.

Doglover73 · 02/07/2026 14:32

I like the ct wand in that shade and bought a back up but the delivery system puts me off. I binned one as they go very messy but Ill use my back up.
Its a shame im tempted by it x

I feel as though HN are trolling us with that big tub of PK...

Anyone else having vinted issues? Had another perfume deleted. Completely new and untested.

user593 · 02/07/2026 16:05

@SummerLimes I’ve only been selling on Vinted a few weeks, had some (not all) perfume samples deleted but I was expecting that.

Mine was a 10ml. I’m trying to discuss with them. I hate unnecessary bureaucracy

Talisin · 02/07/2026 16:45

Doesn’t seem to have been mentioned but SNK has 20% off much of their makeup until 11:45pm tonight.

Thanks. The party edit is also included in this and now £52.

I uploaded two 7ml dabbers at the weekend. One sold quickly then AI detection got to the other and it was deleted under their samples not allowed rule.

I don't really understand the point of this rule because there's a market for it. People want to test scents out before committing to a big bottle so small sizes work for that.

All this talk of the Liberty Sun edit, reminded me that I bought the Boots Here comes the sun box ages ago and haven’t opened it.

It’s very good value, lots of choice & quite impressed. I am surprised it’s still on sale, but very glad as I have ordered another, which now has 25% off, so I always bought a
Habi face spray and 3 for 2 Prai neck & decollage creams too.

Interesting - the free AI box, with the sun edit, showed up for me earlier, but doesn't anymore. Must have been a very short term offer.

SheilaFentiman · 02/07/2026 17:33

I'm enjoying the Boots Here Comes the Sun box - esp the Rituals Sun Spray and the Blossom and Bloom body lotion

SummerLimes · 02/07/2026 17:33

Totally agree @OvaHere I will not let their detection tool win though, I will not back down to some b AI (or whatever it is).

user593 · 02/07/2026 17:37

I’ve had two items going through checks on Vinted for a couple of hours now, and an alert saying some payment methods aren’t working. I also heard payments were down at my local Waitrose. Might be something going on.

If you add the sun edit to your basket and then go to your basket it should add the other one as a gift

I’m really enjoying this box!

Today I’ve tried the Rituals The Ritual of Karma Sun Protection Milky Spray SPF30 and the Elemis Pro-Collagen Skin Protection Fluid SPF50+

I’m glad (in a good way) that I had forgotten it until today. It’s a gem 😊
