Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD TWENTY

[OvaHere]

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 am also trying very hard to resist the same! Thinking 'if everything in my basket (including the GWPs) were rearranged into a £220 advent calendar, would I buy it?' is helping somewhat

It’s the milky one - orange bottle.

Thanks v much - I’m going to reduce the layers and see how it feels in the next few days…

That’s a good way of looking at it @Willow742it’s a crowded marketplace looking for our attention this time of year.

Also, anyone setting up a new Space NK account might want to know that Top Cashback are offering 9% cashback (not on AC) and 1.5% for existing customers. The latter isn't anyone to get excited about but better than a slap in the face with a wet haddock!

Oh, it wouldn’t stack for me yesterday but I’ll try again!

Sadly still no 🙃 probably for the best!

To get the GWP from SNK, I bought the VB foundation drops, the new Living Proof Dry Shampoo, a couple of Prequel bits, and my all-time favourite Aesop body scrub. If it wasn't for the Frag GWP, I probably wouldn't have ordered, to be honest. Hopefully, they do more in the future.

I really want the summer spritz edit. I wonder what sizes the perfumes are though? I smelt the new PDM last week and it was beautiful I was surprised how much I liked it. I also want to try the debaser. I think this is the best space nk GWP in a long while

Hmm, SNK have dispatched everything in my order except the fragrance edit. Not looking good!

Thank you for posting the link. The website seems glitchy. Didn’t ask first payment for the luxe pass. Did everyone else pay at time of booking?

Mine asked for payment and I got an email confirming payment

Ah I don’t think mine has gone through in that case. I’ll email- thanks !!

Selfridges have a nice fragrance edit for £55.

Free Sunday Riley Five Stars with £85 spend through MyJL rewards (retinoid eyecream, apparently)

Just checked mine, it's on my dispatch note. Hopefully, it actually shows up😬

Mine is also on my dispatch note so fingers crossed it turns up tomorrow

Had the weirdest thing with Spacenk this morning. Against my better judgement (considering I still haven't had my refund!), I did an order to get the fragrance GWP.

Chose the GWP and samples and authorised with my bank, it was there on the app in my orders. Then I went again to check the order again for some reason and it had disappeared.

Didn't receive a confirmation email and the money wasn't pending in my bank app. Some of the items I'd ordered were out of stock then, so I've done yet another order with random stuff to get the GWP, but either I'm going mad or Spacenk are rubbish!

Sorry that was long! 😂

This thread man 😂🤦‍♀️. I’ve managed to buy Harrods tickets for the carnival shenanigans AND the GWPs at Space NK (went for the spritz one for the extra gwp as reckon this could be good for Xmas gifting). Thank you for sharing the links and info - and for taking me down with you 🤦‍♀️😂

Are there any other SNK codes that work or just the new customer one?

I had my SNK refund through today so hopefully those waiting should get theirs soon.
Of course I then went straight back in and spent it all, and more to get the GWP and spritz set. I went for the new WA foundation, a CT foundation, some SR bits and a Vieve palette for my DD. This order should tip me in to deluxe/ does anyone know how long it takes to update?

Normally as soon as your order dispatches the points add and then a day or so to show the change

Another person who has been threadfluenced. SNK GWPs on way - I went for Olverum bath oil, Jo Love candles and Ouai hair stuff. All despatched fine.

"Justification" is that I have failed to find a beauty advent calendar that appeals so am doing this instead. My main calendar asks are skincare and fragrance and, thanks to this group, I am pretty stocked up courtesy of FTF bundles, scent kits, £5 for 5 samples etc.

I’m still in Indonesia and trying hard to ignore the siren call of the SNK GWP. There’s several totally unnecessary beauty purchases that I’ve made poolside already delivered (not my fault: the K& J box, the Fairy CB summer bag, the JL box, a Boots box…..) and Liberty ( with or without leaking broth) arrives on Monday or Tuesday. I need to smuggle all of that past Dh, and deal with the HUGE stack of pre holiday shopping returns boxes before I take on any more.

PS I have 4 hours of holiday time left before we start the long trip home. Resolve may crumble during 19 hours flight time….

TKMaxx has free click and collect at the moment, for those low-cost random buys that aren’t worth paying postage for. I noticed some Floral Street, Nuxe and Korres in the fragrance section.

You're welcome 😆
