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. 😍

Despite my ongoing 000s a month with JL, they’re still not giving me rewards I actually want to use 😢

Another 50+ vote for the MZ pearlescent eye cream. Love it! Trying to hold back from stocking up because I’m beginning to realise how long each thing lasts - I really don’t need a stash as it just means I can’t try something else in a few months time. But gosh, it’s hard!

3 Boots edits arriving today. I missed the Pemium skincare free gift offer but put the cosmo box & the festival edits in my basket then buckled & got the minis edit too. Gah! More stuff to hide from DH 🤣

Bother - that Sephora thing went to my Spam folder and yet again I have just emptied it🙀

Could someone with the link possibly pm it to me? (I can’t believe I have got rid of this email - I am too enthusiastic about emptying spam!)

This should work, if not, the link is on their social

Re: Sephoria event

Was the email just a heads up to sign up to a waitlist to be kept informed of when you could actually sign up? Or was it a sign up for the actual event?

Thsnks

It was just to signup for the waitlist, it was only announced yesterday it would be London and dates released today.
I expect pricing and ticket information to come in the next few days

She is currently loading the current gwp for £15.99 - may have bought one at that price

Me too, although I managed to negotiate a little bit off 😶

That’s a good deal 😊

The fairy coming up with the goodies once again 😍 Just bought this new gwp. I wonder why it's always cult beauty sets and if they'll ever branch out to other retailer gwps 🤔🤣

Hopefully they will

Good for them (and us) 😊

Also just bought the CB gwp from Vinted. Been wanting to try the Sweed Mascara for a while. Bargain🙈

Thanks @MrsBnow12 - I think I have managed to sign up for the Sephoria waitlist now.

I have booked the JL event as I will literally be 20 minutes walk away later on for the theatre, so I may as well make an afternoon of it! I have booked the 4pm slot.

I have zero interest in trying products on my skin, (apart from on my hand), and I don’t like being touched for facials/massages, etc. so if there’s anything like that going on it will be wasted on me 🙀

However, I do like the idea of SEEING products and playing games like spin to win so I thought I would be brave and go for it!

I am most excited for the Dcpher stand as hope they will do color matches as heard lots of good things about this brand. The Goody bag excites me 😂😂

I'm watching the Fairy and feel like a London stock trader! Price just went up while I was checking out the products so I'll have to hold out.

Would have preferred a darker SF blush but it's still a great bargain.

Ooh thanks for the heads up on the gwp. I bought one too. I don't need it but I had a bit of Vinted cash and I've idly been filling a basket on CB toying with the idea. I won't keep all of it but there's a few bits I want to try.

Me too @MrsBnow12

I am wondering how many places they have available for each time slot. I hope it’s not heaving like the SNK fragrance event I went to a while back, (I couldn’t get near most stands). That was a free event, though.

I had to beg for my perfume goody bag at the end of that, as they didn’t like that I hadn’t bought anything. I was not leaving without it, given I had queued for hours to get in 🙀

Is this the CB hair bag that the fairy entrepreneur is selling? I saw it this morning at £13.99. I would NOT pay extra if the price increased.

I bought DCYPHER foundation online a couple of years back and the colour match was excellent. It was a pretty good foundation too iirc although I didn’t repurchase. That will have been because I have to try new things so will have spent a small fortune on other foundations instead.

I think we’re talking about the Soft Focus GWP but the hair set is now £14.99.

Ah, thanks @user593 - it was the hair edit I saw for £13.99 this morning. I had forgotten about the soft-focus one.

New SNK edit

beauty-detective.com/space-nk-your-glow-up-edit-2026/

Not for me - don’t think SNK want my money …

Thanks @SummerLimes - I certainly wouldn’t pay £55 for that!

I think the CB edit is better value, but mainly because IF I was going to buy that, (I’m not), I would have £20 credit to put towards it.

A need to vent!
It was my birthday this month so I ordered something from Diptyque and used the birthday code they sent me. Unfortunately my order has turned up without the promised birthday candle! I am so disappointed. I love the trio of scents I got but I did only order to take advantage of the birthday candle offer. I would not have ordered otherwise. I’ve contacted them and am awaiting a response- what are their CS like? Was I supposed to do something more than add the code to the order?

Oh I forgot about that, I got one the other day when I bought the 3 Debenhams boxes (which are lovely).

I also bought the Laneige Icons to Go set and a cute little e.l.f. Skin Hydrated Evermore (Boots or Prime - can’t remember)

And oh dear, 2 Fairy Boxes. I blame the heat ☀️❤️

I didn’t need to purchased anything. I selected the candle and put in the code and I just paid for the postage. They even sent the samples with the order. I had a pervious problem and their CS were fabulous. I think they forgot to include the welcome gift when I first started ordering with them and they apologised and sent it out separately next day. Hope you get a good level of service from them and they sort it out quickly. It takes the shine off when it’s a bit of hassle.
