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.

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

It's a lot of money!!

You can still get a 75ml for £11 in the look fantastic mystery box - although it's only £15 anyway with the current 25% off

Ooooh! Thanks!

I'm totally converted to the Gatineau since getting it in the box, very impressed with the subtle look on my fluorescently white legs!

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.

Just spotted someone is selling the two DS & Durga you like on Vinted for £40. (Looks like the trio set in the yellow box, but with the debaser missing, which they’re keeping)

Thanks, although I have my sunshine set due to be delivered tomorrow so don't need more at this point. God knows I have enough! I'll list the debaser and hopefully it'll go easily.

Cherry elemis and vieve landed today, strangely RM delivered it but not the sunshine set. Weirdly we get RM t24 deliveries on Sundays.

My SNK third order came today too. I wasn't expecting it to come until Monday.

No regrets with the order though. I love the Slip sleep mask with the eye holes. My current two are the Dore & Rose wrap style which I do like but I have to wear them loosely as I don't like them tight on the eye area. Going to road test tonight.

I'm still waiting on part of my order that I put in on Thursday, and the neom candle. I'm not fussed if I don't get them, but I'd rather they just say and send me my money back.

Ilia has a free mini Lip Sketch set (I think it’s Banquette and Genre with a sharpener) with a £50+ spend (new customers only) which stacks with a mini Eye Stylus in Beam with a £75+ spend. HELLOCLEAN also takes 15% off. Sadly I’m not a new customer, as I’d really like to try the new Thru Line eyeliners and this would have been the perfect excuse!

I did pick the Lip Sketch set up on Vinted a while ago though and it’s lovely.

user593 · 16/08/2026 23:51

Also, for anyone who uses the BoJ sunscreen, if you buy two tubes on Boots’ website you get £5 off, which stacks with the BEAUTY20 code, and double points. Free delivery to store. Equates to a little over 40% off taking into account the double points.

The mini Eye Stylus is adding to any order (for me) regardless of spend… they really seem to have an issue with how their GWPs process!

Working codes (if you haven’t used them before)… DEW10, HELLOCLEAN, WELCOME10.

Sadly not for me!

Are you definitely on the UK website (showing UK currency)? Mine keeps defaulting to US (which it doesn’t work on).

Sorry if this has already been posted. 2 new CB hair edits.

i am overrun with hair products but otherwise seem a nice selection although I’m not impressed with the value and would like either more products or bigger sizes.

JoRaRaRa · 17/08/2026 08:27

@Beautyfox I'm the same 🤭 I've had to start a new cupboard for hair products. Plus I have most of the stuff in these that I'd want to try, so I don't need to buy 😀

Fillybuster · 17/08/2026 08:27

Thanks @user593 - I think that’s it! Will try again and see.
edited to add: worked perfectly! 11.15 incl p&p for a new sharpener (discounted to 7.20!) plus the shadow stick. Looks like a really useful colour for me. I had an ilia lipstick a little while back that I loved but haven’t tried anything else from the brand, so very happy to give it a go. Thanks again!

I quite like these but will not be buying one for the same reasons.

I bought 2 Ilia sticks with BD credit. I think they are my favourite shadow sticks. Really nice to use.
