New thread and it's welcome to the roaring twenties beauty addicts!

It's been a little quiet on the exciting edit and beauty releases front what with all the advent malarky but summer is drawing to a close and soon those autumn/winter releases and holiday edits will be popping up to tempt us.

If you're new here welcome and hello and for everyone else nice to see you back on Mumsnet's most tempting thread series that you cannot ignore even if you want to. 😈😍😂

I just came on to say about Fairy having the Cult GWP. Do I restrain myself and buy just one, or stock up 🤔😅

could you send me a contact for the fairy please ?

CinderellaParker · 26/08/2026 07:39

Could someone PM me a link for the fairy too please? Thanks x

CinderellaParker · 26/08/2026 07:40

Oh goodness, I've just checked the batch code of a product to see how old it is! Ren Glow and Protext Vit C serum - 4 years!!! That's too old to keep isn't it....?

Continuing my checking of the age of products in my stash - I have an unopened Ren Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask with AHA from November 2021. It's unopened but I should chuck it, yes? Thanks

Hicupping · 26/08/2026 14:44

I've got a really old one of those. If it looks and smells ok, it might not be as effective but should be fine. It's not got air in it due to packaging.

Mystery box is here.
Bit more of a miss than a hit but could be a very good box for some.
The box with the shampoo and niacinamide products are the miss, I'm staying off niacinamide at the mo, Kanzen too harsh and have loads of Briogeo now. The other pic has usables. The Ultra Violette doing some heavy lifting. Lip gloss looks nice, you can never have too many, the little pipette bottle is tan-luxe serum. The big sachet is cooling pads which I will definitely use is I have a flush this winter.

Ooh I've satisfied the day before payday itch by using the last of my "fun spending" money to get a sunny days bag from the fairy. Worth it for the Medik8 peptides alone! I want to know where they get THEIR stash 😂

JoRaRaRa · 26/08/2026 18:25

There seems to be quite a few Patrick Ta blush duos springing up on Vinted. The accounts look quite dodgy and I'm wondering if it's the new thing to fake. I just want to warn everyone so people ensure they ask for proof of where it's from if they're going to buy.

Just checked Ali Express. Seems to be the latest faked item. It's worth looking on the site to see all the popular products that are faked.

Definitely buyer beware. If someone is selling multiple in different shades then avoid. Try to stick to items from advents where the seller photographs them in front of the advent box and has other items for sale from the same advent.

It's a bit annoying as it drives down the resale price for them and I've got one to sell 🤣

For those that ordered the SNK sale stuff and had delays check your email. They have sent me a £5 voucher and extended the unlimited pass by 3 months to apologise for the delay

I got an email about the limitless pass extension but not a voucher. I didn't actually have anything delayed so I'm happy enough with that.

JoRaRaRa · 26/08/2026 18:57

I haven't had either and I had 2 orders delayed and have limitless pass. Mine's due to expire next week though, I bought it when I ordered last year's bac.

Beautyfox · 26/08/2026 19:03

The email landed at 5pm and I expect they have had quite a few to send out so maybe it will take a few days to get through everyone. I never complained about the delayed order so it’s not a response specific to a complaint. 🤞🏻it turns up for everyone affected.
