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. 😍

Cult gwp has ended. I was debating the spf box but really dont need it.

What’s the sNK summer sale usually like? Does it get better than the current 20% off skincare ?

I’ve seen on Instagram that Space NK will be stocking Prequel from mid July. It’s supposed to be a really good brand and I’ve wanted to try their cleanser in particular for ages, so exciting news!

Ooh me too. The cleanser has been on my radar.

I messaged the fairy through my order and yep they have a 7 day selling ban but has confirmed that all orders will be shipped

Looking forward to Prequel. Some interesting products.

Is Ofairy on ebay?

They are planning on contacting me via a different method so when they do I will ask and let everyone know

They tried a few weeks ago to make contact on here but it was deleted sadly.

It can do on the hard to shift stuff. Often 40% but this will be less popular stuff obviously.

I wish they'd get a move on with the sale. Expect long delivery times tho.

Well after all the chat I decided not to go to the HBeauty thing today - maps said the traffic was bad, the heat was getting to me already and I was running super late, couldn't find my sunglasses etc etc so I just booked in for Sunday instead. Hopefully there will be some info on socials by then so I can decide if it looks good and have a think about what I can buy!

Thanks for the info on last year’s B beauty carnival @JoRaRaRa @SummerLimes and @LightandBreezy

I think there was a free entry ticket option last year as well as the paid ones. I had a ‘free’ slot but gave it back as I couldn’t go in the end.

This year it’s all free entry with ticket, but the things on offer don’t seem marvellous and £100 spend is steep! If I had gone last year I KNOW I would have bought the hair/body calendar- this year, I would just be spending for the sake of it as the H beauty hall is so small and lots of brands I like aren’t stocked there.

The masterclasses were sold out for the time slot I have for Sunday.

I hope that someone can feedback on what it’s like this year. I know I really regretted not going last year once I had read your reviews!

Oh I am so annoyed. I've been really good recently with not buying edits, felt like I needed a bit of dopamine today so decided I'd checkout one of my baskets from CB LF or Boots. They've all either gone up in price or out of stock since yesterday! Boots have kiboshed student discount on edits again, CB first class edit is OOS and lookfantastic have gone back to 25% instead of 30% off the new season edit.

Feeling very hot and grumpy now!

The Sisley neck cream is 15% off in JL.

Reporting back on Diptyque- they have excellent customer service.

I had an email today apologising and asking which candle I wanted for my birthday. I gave a choice of 2 as I’d like a surprise and it’s on its way already!

I’m ridiculously pleased, not least because I am so in love with everything Diptyque I’ve ever tried and now I know they have 5⭐️ customer service to add to the luxury, I can shop with peace of mind. Well done Diptyque 👏👏👏

20% off at SNk. I’ve just ordered

@IlovePond I ventured on to Tiktok to investigate the HBeauty Beach thing and I've screen grabbed a picture of the bag and contents - looks like our old friend Phillip KIngsley is in there (I actually used Elasticizer the other day and tbf my hair is super soft now) SDJ Badalada I think, something by Rahua, something from olaplex, possibly a Maison Crivelli Perfume and some Huda Beauty Primer and other stuff I can't identify. Worth over £200 with a £100 spend

That's the nicest colour of those bags they've done.

I thought the same @OvaHere - the bags aren't really my thing but that's definitely the nicest I've seen.

There's this on the bookings page that tells you a few more things in the bag, and I think looking at my previous picture there might be a mini PDM Delina in there too.

Ahhh tempting !!!

Thanks for all the bronzer advice. I will do investigative research over the weekend.

Selfridges CS came back to say DPD would investigate my missing item and I’d have to wait a week for update, so I called and asked why it was going to take that long to confirm something was missing when I already knew that was the case. To be fair, they did then give me a refund, but sadly no offer to replace with another edit (& #1 is oos). Overall, not wildly impressive but at least sorted.

Having bought 3 Boots edits I now own more fancy factor 50 than I will be able to get through in a lifetime. Along with the various ones from the CB edit and my SK shopping. I need to step away from the sunscreen!

Well my SNk order from this morning has shipped already on standard delivery (Royal Mail 48) so why they couldn’t just send it express I don’t know.

Bit off Topic but any advice welcome. I've got blow dry spray on vinted, not even taken the cap off. And I've had a query asking 'how do I know if it's new and unused' and I've no idea how to respond to that. There's no date on it, it's not sealed as such. Is it a weird question or am I missing something.

How odd. Mine has dispatched with Royal Mail 24. However, as per usual it’s only a partial dispatch. They have dispatched the neck cream and one sample and will be dispatching the other sample separately. The reality is like the previous 2 orders that they will run out of stock of the sample and then I will need endless conversations with customer service because the order is only showing partial dispatch they won’t award the points. I honestly wish they would just choose another sample.
