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.

looks like you now only need to buy 1 prai product at M&S to get the free gift (couple of mini neck prods and a scarf).

@JoRaRaRa I love both the pink and blue, so I need to make up my mind quickly! I also need to get to the shops this weekend to know which shade is correct, I can’t blind buy something like that, I find it hard enough to match IRL 😅

@IlovePond Are you not allowed to return fragrances to Liberty? So if you didn’t get the Adelphi Sun you could send it back.
Your mention of Christmas sales purchasing reminded me of (I’m not sure exactly who it was but perhaps @Addictedtobeauty) when they ordered a cake stand and when it arrived it was a diddy little thing 😅
In fact, speaking of sales, I’ve got a Harrods wooden chopping board knocking around somewhere, and a bottle of Versace perfume 🙈😅

Not me for the minute cake stand - or at least if it was , I’ve forgotten!

The Dior cases are gorgeous- is the cushion foundation good? I’ve been using MZ skin tint and protect through Summer and actually love it- so light and matches my skin tone really well plus includes SPF. It was a bit of a risk purchase- to get the HN gwp in tbe blue net bag- but it’s a winner. Very expensive though- I keep checking to see if it arrives in TK Maxx.
I’ll need a bit more coverage as Autumn sets in. I’ll try and get out to try the Dior ones somewhere for colour and formula. Can you just buy the case and get a refill later or do you have to buy them together?

Works with the single mask as well

I admire the side eye irony of selling a cream to improve the neck, and a free cover up scarf 😊

That said, I do love the Prai neck cream, but wondering if anyone has tried the Prai Pro range? Is it better?

@Thelifeofawife @Addictedtobeauty I've never used the cushion foundation, but I do like some of their other foundations. They don't currently have my shade in the cushion refills, so I'll have to buy the case and then buy the foundation at a later date.

I've been wanting to try the prai neck cream, so I've bought the mask to get the freebies. Was it neck cream in the sparkly jar that we all went mad for after Christmas? I bought one of those but never collected it 🙈

I’m not sure whether to thank you or complain! I googled it and I love the box, gold and christmas-y baubles and garlands. But all my spreadsheets at the moment are kitchen appliances.

Yes Prai in the sparkly jar, I’m still working through mine 😀

Thanks for this! I’ve just ordered a mask for £12 and got the free gift. Excellent value.

I’m not sure if I am misremembering but I’m pretty sure that HN had this current GWP as a buyable edit few weeks ago.
minimum spend is £195 for the gwp

I had a look on the Dior website and it appears you can buy just the case, then get refill at a later date.

I like the sound of the MZ skin tint, but I wouldn’t be willing to pay full price so will also stalk TK Maxx - I managed to get a couple of MZ creams from there which are waiting patiently in my stash.

I tried a Lumene CC corrector tint a couple of days ago and hated it. I looked so pale and it looked cakey on me 🙈

@BakeOffRewatch Was if you who got the cake stand? I feel like it was one of the OG’s.
Maybe I’m remembering from the wrong thread - so don’t worry, I won’t be naming everyone on here 😅

@JoRaRaRa I got the Prai neck cream, and used it twice 😅 I keep forgetting about it, despite it being in my nighttime routine basket! Some days I look and think “gosh those lines on my neck are looking deep, I must properly start using that cream”…then I forget again by nighttime!

Wow, that’s a high spend for not a lot in return. Not remotely tempted.

Yes they did. Full size Elasticizer. 😂

I’m not sure they will even be giving it away at such a high spend either.

Only at the start of this month too! https://beauty-detective.com/harvey-nichols-the-summer-beauty-edit-2026/

@Thelifeofawife ahem it was a “pudding cloche”. https://www.libertylondon.com/uk/pudding-cloche-R661584006.html i used it to top up the spend to £300 when I was buying three pairs of adidas trainers, one pair was £90. Now I’m doing my kitchen I will make sure it has pride of place even though it’s totally useless . I am not keeping up with threads, I skimmed through about 100 posts last night, sorry for missing your mention of it.

the adidas Tokyo Mary Jane are amazing for me. Thank you to whoever mentioned those, I’ve always been Skechers and Nike. Perfect for my lifestyle and I can walk in them all day. The Gazelle Indoor Shoes and Sambae squeeze my toes, not too much but by the end of a 12 hour days it’s uncomfortable. I think I need a half size up, an a 6 When I tried the 7 in store the assistant said my heel would fall out. I bought the Tokyo Mary Jane in 7.5 because I got to try them on in store too. Very weird sizing.

Sorry I bought a 7.5 in the adidas Tokyo Mary Jane.

Caroline Hirons firm and glow kit is reduced to £99

edited to add there are a few kits reduced

Thanks for sharing, I am loving the Mimetique from the kit so happy to pick up another reduced.

Sorry to jump on this are there wider adidas?!! I have never been able to wear Adidas and usually need Nike or sketchers too.

On a separate note some of the posts on here have needed a laugh reaction but had to just like! I bought the Prai neck cream with a mask too. Thank you!

I’m very tempted by this kit and the supercharged kit but I’m trying to be very good!

Thanks @mooshkymoo I've just bought the mask to get the free gift. I've been wanting to try Prai, my neck is definitely looking a bit ropey these days.

Rejecting the HN kit on the sole basis that it has a full tub of fkin elasticizer! Sick of seeing elasticizer in everything. Does anyone ever buy at full price?

Oh, that was it - it’s such a pretty fairy cake plate 😁
It will look nice as a display, even if it is useless 😅

I love the look of the adidas but they always look too narrow. I normally have sketchers or Nike too (although some Nike trainers also feel narrow)

The mask seems to have been removed fm the offer. The cheapest item now vaild is £22. Still good value though!
