Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD NINETEEN

[OvaHere]

New thread. Welcome oldies and newbies.

I'm expecting this thread to be busy as we head towards both advents and autumn releases.

There's a dedicated advent thread for advent calendars here to keep up to date with reveals, waitlists etc.

New face the future mystery bundle if anyone fancies detective work.

I've tried on the serum and have a strong suspicion it's a Votary one no other bottle shape and cap matches. No idea which Votary though. From their stock Super seed oil or renewing serum which was in Liberty advent last year and has the worst dropper.

Hmm I do like votary products. But it’s £40 which is a chunk of an advent. I will be using advent currency on all purchases going forward.

I've just ordered it (the hydration one) - my skin is rather patched after a hot sunny holiday!

I'll let you know what's in it when it arrives...

Ooh I hope it’s wonderful and you enjoy.

Oh do let us know what's in it - looks like a sheet mask is one of the items, and maybe an oil?

ooh, Jo Malone take over on Boots home page!

Now we know what will be (mostly) in their Fragrance AC 😊

This is quite a nice box.

Pistachio and Vanilla Elasticizer - that's a rare treat. Not just regular old Elasticizer!

I’m mildly interested in Refy because of the 15% off and GWP but I’ve never tried the brand and know nothing about it. Is it good? Do they have any standout products?

To be fair, I had an Egyptian Jasmine elasticizer a few years ago and it smelled amazing. I'd be happy with it turning up everywhere if it was different scents each time.

I just got that Shay & Blue coconut fig perfume for £1 for signing up to their subscription on their website for three months. It is £1 for the first month, then £12.50 a month for two months and you can choose a different perfume for each month. So £26 for 3 x 10ml, which is a pretty good deal and you can then cancel after the three months if you like.

BD has F&M advent reveal.

This Is great news- currently limited inventory but hopefully that changes. Recycling may now involve the odd JM mini along the way 👏

Thanks @IDontKnowWhatYouMean - I'll give them a go via your link x

John Lewis have 20% off selected fragrances as member reward today if anyone is interested!
ETA looks like it’s a small selection of brands.

CB sent me an early access email. Spend £50 in the summer shop and get a £10 voucher.

Randomly includes Gucci make up though if that’s on your radar.

What was yesterdays? I forgot to check.

20% off le creuset

Ooh I got that too.

6 Lumene products reduced here:

I've just bought some from Amazon that says it's made in India. It isn't advertised as Tret, it says it's a retinol cream but Tret is what turned up in my delivery. Im not sure about using it, I need to thoroughly research it first.

Bunch of stuff at 20% off in the online outlet store for Rituals members. I am slightly drowning in rituals stuff at the moment so probably won’t shop (famous last words!)

Weirdly it also knocks 10% off the Summer Shop products I have added to basket, not sure if that applies to all of them!

I haven't actually been to look. I'm trying to ignore stuff like this because advents! 😂
