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. 😍

Oooh I was wrong about the only difference in samples being the CT cream then @Mejera - I didn't get Cap Camarat, I got Madurai and Odeon

Oooh interesting! I'm definitely going to find those in a store somewhere for a sniff. I like quite a few of the Memo perfumes I've smelled so far.

@LightandBreezy and @Mejera -I didn’t get Cap Camaret either. It was Odeon and another Memo scent I can’t remember.

Please congratulate me on resisting SK’s Festa event - so far!

I’m really confused about why they haven’t said what’s in all the boxes being released later in the week. The pink and blue Bestie boxes have the same name, but a different pattern on the box. Does this mean different products from April too?

Is the Pharmacy box different in contents from the one that was released a while ago? (I think someone here bought that one.)

I don’t need anything but I want to use my $30 credit before it expires!

@Mejera me too, I had a chat with the sales woman there and she recommended a few based on what perfumes I said I liked usually, and I liked them all and only stopped spraying when they all blended into one 😅 I've also found the samples I got smell much better on me than sprayed onto the little cards, so very happy with the Memo gifts over all.

@IlovePond I think we got the same because I checked your pics seeing if you got the Maison Crivelli one I wanted.

I think so @LightandBreezy

Re: perfumes. I hate it when the assistants insist on giving you a card with the scent on it rather than letting you try it on your skin.

Perfum on card is a totally pointless exercise- perfume smells completely different on the skin than on cardboard and different again on each person’s body.

Because I am such a reasonable person, I always just walk off if someone gets between me and my spraying, whilst waving a stupid bit of card at me 🙀😹

That would be me 😂😂

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it but the Boots spring skincare refresh edit is down to £24 using the code SUN20. I threw in a centella mask to get free delivery.

I'm not convinced you actually receive those items. It says you get a mystery selection from a huge list including thing like lip balm, alligator clips... I'll let you all know what I receive!

Re: those LF mystery boxes

I’d be happy if I got what was in @Doglover73’s second picture- not with the other stuff.

I already know that - with my luck - any time I sign up for mystery boxes I am going to end up with: face powder/fake tan/dry shampoo/brow gel/fake eyelashes/eyelash curlers - basically a little box of horrors!

It’s a shame because, in theory, I do like a surprise 😹

Thanks! It makes no sense that sun20 works on this and not the sun box 😀

I have a couple of things in the basket so might see what happens with £10 Tue tomorrow

I forgot to add: Spot patches 😹

I've ordered the stockroom steals and beauty blind date ones. I'm convinced I'm getting eyelash curlers in the beauty one. I honestly wouldn't mind most of the other things as I'm not really at the stage of having a hoard of beauty stuff yet, I try to keep it to a manageable amount. That said, I have had a mini splurge today with the mystery boxes, Boots skincare box and a Molton Brown cracker from Vinteds fairy because I got bored with not having anything new to try.

Well done on resisting!

Bestie boxes contents https://beautycalendar.com/tag/stylekorean-box/

Thanks @PeachIcedTeaQueen - that’s helpful. The pink Bestie box is different from the one I got, but I don’t think there’s anything I really want in any if the boxes - at least not enough to buy the whole box.

The lemon is probably the best for me if I did go for one.

I am still wondering what is in the Lucky Box as I couldn’t find those details on Beauty Detective, but thanks so much for pointing me in the direction of the other boxes’ details.

Ooh, let us know what you get @ClutteredPalace !

Finally. I got the DPD notice from Harrods. 😍

Fantastic. The 'we're expecting it' one?

I am doubting whether mine will come tomorrow now and I definitely can't work from home weds or thurs. Hmmmm

Yes that's the one. I think it will probably come Wed now. That suits me though as it's an office day tomorrow.

Mine normally arrives the next day with Harrods and DPD, I placed two makeup orders yesterday and got the email yesterday for one and was delivered today.
I only received the other email this afternoon so expect delivery tomorrow.

Will do, I paid for express delivery so hopefully not too long to wait.

New CB edit out soon. I really like this. I hope the price is reasonable.

My Harrods orders always arrive the next day after getting that email so I think it will be tomorrow 🤞🏻I'm too excited so I hope they don't let me down this time 🤣

Love the look of this. Hard to justify when I have do much stuff. Wonder what the price point will be.
Maybe I should just buy edits. Long suffering DH will feign interest and fill an old advent box. I’ve loads of Liberty credit though and I think SNK will be great (manifesting).
