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. 😈😍😂

@user593 - how about this LF bundle? it’s £30 with the code 40PLUS
lools really good value (I follow Helen on Insta and she posted a video of it today)

@SheilaFentiman cant beat a gift set from Rituals 😍
@user593 if your friend likes aqua type fragrances, this is a lovely set and reduced now as it was the Rituals limited edition collection for spring/summer. I bought one when it was released and have just bought another one; and got a lovely tote bag as the member gift https://www.rituals.com/en-gb/the-ritual-of-seshen---large-gift-set-1120727.html?_gl=1u9n01w_upMQ.._gs*MQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIh-WcrebGlgMV9ZtQBh2S5yLOEAAYASAAEgL7N_D_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAADvLifvnAwCtyfywMItNQ-3LJGoi2
@Chocolateteabag that set is great value, tempting

Thank you for all your suggestions!

@marchduck I’ve bought the Rituals set, but I found it on LookFantastic for £34.45 (in case you want another!).

@user593 thank you, great price with LF, you are an enabler to my shopping habit 😊

Thank you @marchduck for the Rituals set suggestion, and thanks @user593 for the Lookfantastic find. I've purchased the Seshen set and the men's set, so that's 2 Christmas presents ticked off the list, and a beach bag thrown in too 😊

Morning hive mind! I've started using the Medik8 C Tetra in the mornings and I love it. I know it came from an edit or GWP or something but can't remember where. Anyone able to help please? Just don't want to pay £72 for the next bottle... x

I was going to suggest having a look at the Next beauty boxes for anyone looking for a ready curated beauty gift box. The box sleeves can be removed, e.g. if it's a birthday set but not the recipients birthday. There are a few men's boxes too.

Quite a few boxes are reduced at the moment:

The Kate Somerville Plump, Smooth and Glow Set reduced from £60 to £48

• Kate Somerville, ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment, 15ml (travel size)
• Kate Somerville, Goat Milk Moisturizing Cleanser, 120 ml (full size)
• Kate Somerville, Goat Milk Moisturizing Cream 15ml (travel size)
• Kate Somerville, HydraKate Power Plumping Primer, 30ml (full size)
• Kate Somerville, ExfoliKate Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash, 30 ml (travel size)

The After Hours box is reduced from £30 to £24

• Emma Hardie, Moringa Balm 15ml
• Pixi, Retinol Tonic 100ml
• bareMinerals, Skin Rescue Pure Smooth Serum 5% Niacinamide + Chebula 30ml
• Elemis, Pro Collagen Night Cream 15ml
• Dr Paw Paw, Overnight Lip balm

The Scent Infusion Beauty Box reduced from £25 to £20
The Elements of Glow Beauty Box* *reduced from £25 to £20
The Everything Shower Beauty Box reduced from £30 to £24
The Percy & Reed Hair Summer Styling Edit reduced from £35 to £28
The Shay & Blue Discovery Box reduced from £45 to £36

I know that some of the next mystery boxes have contained items past their best date, but I've always been able to return unsuitable or faulty Next beauty boxes without any problem.

Sadly not available any more, it was a cult beauty edit that a lot of us bought from Vinted via the fairy. It is in the Harrods BAC...

That's where it came from! I wonder if our Fairy friend has any more? I'll ask. And I do have the Harrods BAC on order...

Thanks

If you find a cheap way of buying it please share! I would never buy unless 20-25% off as it's easy to get that via codes or promotions from any of the main retailers or direct from medik8. But cheaper is always better!

edited to add: it's £57.60 currently at CB

Oh thanks. I was tempted last night as i need to buy something after a very tough few weeks but no advent is hitting the spot. Ofcourse ive a massive stash so dont really need anything but want something nice ♥️
I love citrus and ocean fragrances so will check this out. Great price on look fantastic. I may have a voucher as well. X

Bought 2 🤣 for free bag which i got instore awhile ago and its a decent size and will be used. The free gift on rituals store wasa bit meh which was why I didnt order off there last night.
Also a fragrance spray in so will be handy. Love citrus. Ive been looking for something to justify buying and found it 🤪

Thank you @keepincool, that Kate Somerville set is fantastic value, just ordered it and will really appreciate it when my face gets dry during the colder months.

The Rituals set is now sold out on Look Fantastic. Well done us! 😂

Has anyone else received their spritz edit from spacenk? So disappointed I didn’t get the in bloom debaser, did anyone get the in bloom?

No. I got Debaser too. Annoyed as Bloom one was part of the reason I went for the fragrance add on.

So I've received my Vinted Reome Broth order, all intact and no leaks.

What do i do with it? I just got caught up in the FOMO and ordered it before seeing the leaking and £5 sticker complaints on the BAC thread.

Same I was really looking forward to it esp as I spent my points to get it and convince myself not to go for the advent. Hopefully I’ll get it on eBay after advents are released. X

Had enough of Debaser it's the Elasticzer of fragrance, hoping for Bloom too.

CB Medik8 edit coming soon

https://beauty-detective.com/cult-beauty-x-medik8-edit-2026/

On the one hand, I love it, and on the other, ugh, small / sample sizes again! Let’s see how much it costs…

My thoughts exactly. I’d rather pay a bit more for full sizes or at least travel size.

For once I don't want this. I have more than enough Medik8.

Medik8 have just launched in the US so perhaps it is aimed at the US market.

TCB is offering 20% c/b at Look Fantastic - today only.
