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 already succumbed. Spent my vouchers as I've decided I'm not getting the advent. Bought the AB retinol seeing as it's failed to materialise in any BACs this year, unless Harvey Nicks are hiding it from us.

I also bought it and spent the extra to get the spritz gwp as well. I also spent my vouchers so makes the advent decision a lot easier

I wasn't going to get this but as I've ruled out the calendar I changed my mind. I also got the perfume gwp. I realised there was at least of couple of scents in it I want to try. It looks to have the new PDM and Debaser in Bloom. I can't tell what the JHAG is but I'm hoping it's Powder Love.

Me too and the Debaser was one of the few things I wanted from the advent so made sense. I believe the JHAG is 5ml Lust in Sun

Thanks. I couldn't find a full list for the scents. I haven't tried that JHAG so that's fine even if it isn't the powder one.

SNK gwp is really cute. I counted 24 items in the main gift + 9 items in perfume gift. I am thinking of using it for DIY advent calendar for November 🎁🤶

ShineDespiteEverything · 28/08/2026 08:20

I just noticed that Kayali Vanilla 28 mini is erased from the gwp photo in the SNK app, so it may not be included after all 🤷‍♀️

I hadn't spotted that. A bit annoying.

I’ve also ordered the gwp and scent gwp. I’m currently looking at the world through advents so my decision was I would be happy with this as advent contents for £220.

TragicMuse · 28/08/2026 09:01

I’m really wavering on the Oh My Cream GWP, especially if I can get the summer bag…

TragicMuse · 28/08/2026 09:04

user593 · 27/08/2026 20:39

I’ve got sent a 20% off voucher for Oh My Cream but it doesn’t work won’t the GWP. Still, I like the selection of products they sell, but really shouldn’t buy any more!

It needs to be £120 after discounts - I’ve managed to stack the 20% and the gift code…

TragicMuse · 28/08/2026 09:11

Ignore that, it’s not stacked. One or the other.

I've also gone for the SNK GWP and scent GWP. I hope we all receive our orders and gifts ok! They added a lot of samples to my basket, as well as the normal two you get to choose. So overall there will be a pretty big stash which I plan to swap out with my DODs in my BAC.

OvaHere · 28/08/2026 09:13

Would anyone like some face masks?

These have all been opened and used once within the last couple of months. I don't feel like they do much for me and would rather give them away than bin or languish in a cupboard.

Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery
Sulwhasoo White Ginseng Radiance (this is a gritty type exfoliant)

Send me a PM and I'm happy to post out.

Delurking to ask those of you who ordered the SpaceNK with the spritz GWP today if it shows in your order summary? The main GWP does for me but not the perfumes bonus I added and that's the only reason I did a £220+ order.
Thanks for all your solid work here ruining my bank account 😆

Yes it does and I had to specifically select it - if yours doesn't I would double check if it's gone through ok

TragicMuse · 28/08/2026 09:14

I’ve clicked buy on Oh My Cream! I have Christmas stockings to sort and anything I don’t want for myself will go towards those.

The leopard print robe meant I didn’t really have a chance of resisting!

Caggie09 · 28/08/2026 09:25

Also ordered SNK GWP. Gone for the Spritz gift too. As the CB AC was a no for me, I thought, bugger it, I'll get this instead!🤣

Don't you just love that thing where you get ready and think wow my make up looks so perfected today. Then you put your glasses back on. 😂Who needs tiktok filters when failing eyesight does the same thing.

I would try phone them and explain you forgot to check the box. You may have to cancel and reorder though if they won't just add it.

@OvaHere This is happening to me more and more. I have to check my make up in the en-suite because the lighting in there is brutally honest. Sometimes I’m aghast. I really need to go to the opticians.

LoveLabradors · 28/08/2026 10:27

@OvaHere I’ve got a cheap but great magnifying light up mirror from Amazon and use it for make up as mildly short sighted. So I feel really nice when I’ve just finished it in the flattering light and then crushing disappointment when I see reality in the bathroom mirror 😂
