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. 😈😍😂

What is the LiB code please?

Many years ago I was behind Ms Darlings in security at Gatwick. Her attitude was appalling then and she was just rude to all, but with an air of extreme self importance. Not a fan.

Thanks @OvaHere and hi beauty friends! I’m tempted by the LiB edit too although I don’t need it. I’m sheeplike and think if @OvaHere has gone for it I need to as well 🤣

Sorry to be a bad influence. It's decent for 30 quid and no postage costs. First time I've actually followed through buying a LiB box. I usually talk myself out of those that are £50 upwards.

It is purchased 🤣. I love the laniege glaze craze from the boots edit so looking forward to another one. I had toyed with CB hair edit but I think it is expensive for what it is and no code working either. This is great value.

I've bought it too, agree it's good value!

The Laniege was the other bonus. I have one that I've had for quite a while and do like it.

I appreciate everyone gets different offers but TikTok gave me a very good deal on this LiB box and it came up as £24.80 delivered.

That's really good. I purposefully don't have TikTok though. I think it would be my ultimate downfall. 😂

@Addictedtobeauty thats a great deal. I’m a complete Luddite so have never ventured to the world of TikTok 😁

Still not got any email link from Sephora. Is this going to be one of those things where all the Gold members who get a link just happen to be SM influencers? 😏

I think so and also no email here

Silver lining though. I checked my spam just in case and there was an email in there from last week from The Sunday Times Style. I won a prize from that Beauty Awards poll a few weeks back.

Not the best prize they had on offer but yay all the same.

I won this.

I read via Reddit that TikTok says the email coming at 10am. No idea how accurate that info is.

Where do you sign up to the alert? I can only see the regular newsletter sign up on the landing page.

Apparently it comes through an email link but I've not seen anything as yet. Are all Gold members just going to be sent one? Their FAQs are clear as mud on this score.

By alert I meant ‘set notifications’. Not expecting an alarm just a pop up message (at best). Agree the comms not the clearest.

Just received an email from Sephora confirming live at 10am.

OvaHere · Yesterday 09:35

Not had that email. That doesn't bode well

Mine went straight to junk so might be worth checking there. It included a membership ID code which you need at checkout. https://sites.weezevent.com/sephoria-london/

@OvaHere if you don’t get the email perhaps try this link and get your ID from your Sephora account. That might work

No nothing in junk mail. Disappointing. I really wanted to try and get a ticket. 😢
