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.

I stupidly checked out on SNK and forgot to tick the limitless next day delivery box, so my item hasn't been sent yet. They are sneaky as they should recognise the account has limitless and default to next day.
Ah well something to look forward to next week. I wish the advent calendars would start releasing, feels like forever. I'm sure this time last year the very first ones had released .

I've done that before. It's annoying.

@IDontHateRainbows i did the same. Very annoying. SNK are usually pretty good at stock management, so I do hope to get my order, just a bit later than I would like.

@namechange0998776554799000 @OvaHere @user593 That’s interesting, I’ve been shedding a lot more recently and my hair is visibly thinner (it used to be really thick), but I put it down to the many new hair products I’d been trying, not the MJ.
Which Ordinary product have you got? I think I need to look into it!

Also, really annoyed that when I placed my SNK order I didn’t get offered the keyring or any free samples, despite spending around £70!

You didn't miss much with the keyring.

Hair serum is The Ordinary Hair Density. Much more affordable than K18 so I'm more likely to default to that in future if it does something.

Thanks, I’ll pop some into my basket 🙂

So I went back onto Spacenk and ordered the neom Christmas candle (this is what I mean about influencing myself 🤣), well I've had an email to say that my free samples have shipped but not the candle, what a waste, just ship it all together 🤦🏻‍♀️ I wonder if our neom orders are going to be cancelled 👀

IDontHateRainbows · 15/08/2026 09:30

My ds durga sunshine set has despatched, very excited for the Coriander also like the rose Atlantic. Not bothered about debaser.

I went back and got the discounted elemis cherry cleansing balm set. I prefer the fig but also like cherry and it comes with vieve lip oil.

Reckon it there'll be absolutely loads of new gift sets in the run up to xmas which space nk are trying to make room for.

user593 · 15/08/2026 09:31

I just got my SNK/ Neom order today. They weren’t in the best condition but not too bad either. I wouldn’t ordinarily be bothered except I bought them for presents!

I reckon so. Doesn't make them to despatch in separate items and they don't usually.

Doglover73 · 15/08/2026 09:34

Ive had email off space nk saying part of my order has been shipped. Other part awaiting shipping, my neom candle and kaufman bath sets.
Fingers crossed x

MrsBnow12 · 15/08/2026 09:37

I had this from my Wednesday order which contained a Laneige set, the Laneige came the next day
My order today only contains the keyring and samples, I expect the SNK candle will turn up tomorrow.
Doesnt help when trying to explain to DH why so many parcels arrive.

OvaHere · 15/08/2026 09:42

Against better judgement I went back last night and ordered a Slip sleeping mask and 111skin eye patches. Like the Slip pillow I have had my eye on their masks with the hollow bit for eyes. I do sleep with a eye mask every night so it's sort of justifiable.

Thelifeofawife · 15/08/2026 09:43

Oh, I hope my SNK order is going to be okay and my candles don’t get cancelled, I chose standard delivery because I don’t have limitless pass on my secondary account that I used

LoveLabradors · 15/08/2026 09:49

@Doglover73 my Kaufman Bath sets have shipped but not the Dr Jart body lotion which is showing still in stock. Very odd! I’m holding no hope to see the neom candle now!

Thelifeofawife · 15/08/2026 10:22

Wise ones, does anyone know how I can get a discount on the Boots Trending Beauty box? I’ve got some offers on my account for 10% off etc, but they aren’t working.
Not that I need it, of course, but I’m tempted if I can get a bit of a discount

user593 · 15/08/2026 10:36

By the way, the Radley sale is restocking from time to time. I picked up a couple of Chancery bags the other day.

SheilaFentiman · 15/08/2026 10:42

@Thelifeofawife i assume that those offers are personalised to advantage card. Some people got a Card off with a bit off the Here Comes the Sun edit IIRC, but I didn’t (just as well or I would have bought a second one that I didn’t need!)

TragicMuse · 15/08/2026 17:46

I restocked my Trinny Elevator today, and bought a new brush. There’s a GWP with £125 spend at Trinny but they’d run out of the original offer of a make-up bag and replaced it with a mini cream so I didn’t add to my spend. How good am I?!

And I got 3 samples, which was nice and perfect for the couple of weekends away I have coming up in the next couple of months.

It’s been a good day!

user593 · 15/08/2026 22:44

My Half Magic Glitterpuck in Feel Something arrived. It’s soo pretty. No idea how or when I’ll use it but I love the sparkles 😅

BakeOffRewatch · 15/08/2026 23:38

@SheilaFentiman Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on my advantage card offers in case something suitable turns up

That's a lot - I'm waiting for the harrods fac to release as the 10ml dabber is in there!

At any other time of the year that would be tempting. I'll make do with the small one in Harrods FAC.

Not sure what you mean by it’s a lot, 50ml retail is £130
and 100ml is £210.
I agree the market will be flooded with 10ml dabbers once the Harrods advent is out
