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. 😈😍😂

Thank you! ☺️

Thanks for the CB samples info @ElizabethG81 I used my £5 credit, so only had to pay the £3.95 delivery charge.

I am trying to cut down on my mini products, but I do love this offer - these are going in my DIY FAC when they arrive.

I got the Pomegranate Furgazzi to try and two each of two perfumes I already know I like, (but can’t afford to buy a bottle!)

Hiya
No, it was the ren one from 2024 advent.
I love the MZ skin one, have just finished my 2nd and have a third. I also started using the Ab eye cream from last years Liberty and love it too. One of the reasons I’ve decided to buy Harrods this year as it’s in there!!

Thank goodness it wasn’t the MZ @26inprogress! I must admit - I am also tempted by Harrods because it’s in there!

Thanks I got 5 x debaser in bloom to make up for there not being one in the SNK spritz kit.

I shop with CB for a decade and never knew these existed 🤣 thank you so much! Ordered 5x debaser in bloom 😊 had a chance to smell it at Liberty and it’s gorgeous (much prefer to the original)

Thanks @ElizabethG81

Hi is anyone considering the face the future winter edit? There is no spoilers, have they done a winter one in the past, I could only see the festive one. It’s a lot to spend with no idea what’s inside

I'm holding off until someone leaks the contents! Or at least has a good guess. I do like the FTF mystery edits though...

hi , no I’ve no idea just came across it when I was looking on the app today . But as someone mentioned the festive edit last year I thought was a bargain, that’s where my MZ and decree fix started 🙄🤣. We just have to add it to the wait list along with HN HNF and Harrods home .

@ElizabethG81 Thank you for this! I was aware that they offer this but never gone ahead any ordered, but there’s a few I wanted to try. I have no credit because I’m in minus figures still after my CB debacle, but worth making a purchase of low value 😅

Evening everyone. I can see it was a busy morning. I missed out on all the excitement of the releases. I've been too busy today to follow properly but I'm relieved SFAC didn't go on sale today.

Safely ensconced at work has been the best place for me as I haven't had the opportunity to impulse buy anything that was launched.😂

Hope everyone who wanted something got it.

Space NK posted their Sept birthday treats this morning. Deluxe members can choose between 2 sunscreens (spf 20 or spf 30), a colour wow mask, a shower gel or a single use sheet mask. A little underwhelming.

Oops meant to post on the advent thread which I see has a new thread. I really did miss out today. 😂

I would say a bit more than a little underwhelming - such a poor selection, I went with the Jo Loves

That's very poor. My deluxe bday gift was a full size MZ eye cream.

I wonder if some of the issues they've been having are related to the buy out last year by Ulta and things are now starting to change as a result.

I never received my birthday gift from Spacenk. They'd all gone by 5th Jan 🙄

I ordered some of the CB fragrance samples, the Jo Malone from the Harrods ac, I don't think I like this so I want to make sure before I sell it. The kayali from the CB AC, I think I like this, so again I want to check before I use the one from the ac and then a few others that I wasn't too bothered about.

This is good. It has the AB retinol serum.

Sadly they don't ship outside the US. 🙁

Same…begrudgingly

Thanks for CB samples alert @ElizabethG81

I like FTF box so will watch for clues on the Winter Edit.

The mystery product at the moment is the Verden Herbanum Bath oil as I mentioned upthread. It's also in the Wellness bundle (with Ancient & Brave Collagen & sleep spray).

Oh thank you for this ! I missed it and I am using the collegen and it does wonders for my nails . 🩷

I fear you might be right.

Definitely noticed more samples in the gwps recently and a higher spend threshold too.

Thanks - as well!

What collagen is in the wellness box please? Is it ancient & brave true collagen? In a glass jar? Or sachets?
