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. 😈😍😂

As far as I know it's the glass jar. I got the collagen in another of their edits and really like it but I'm close to finishing it so ordered this to get another. It's not much of a saving on full price with the added postage but I get whatever else comes with it I guess.

Yes I really like the collagen too, I noticed a big difference in my skin, hair & nails when I was on holiday for a couple of weeks and didn't take it. Mine is just about to run out so I may as well buy the edit if that makes it a little cheaper. Otherwise I'll buy it from Boots - it's always excluded from offers, but at least you get advantage card points

@namechange0998776554799000 & @OvaHere - yes, glass jar of True Collagen. I use both the bath oil and collagen so the Wellness bundle is a good deal for me. I've been buying a lot from FTF recently (this group!) so will probably get their annual Priority Plus pass next time.

Great, thank you! I like FTF too. And thanks for confirming what the mystery gift is - I would have ordered hoping it was the omorovizca body serum again otherwise, as I really liked that too

Someone please pm me CB AC link! About to start school run and everything and don’t want to miss out

Did you get it from the advent thread?

@BakeOffRewatch and anyone else wanting it 🥰

Yup got it and now ordered just in time before have to leave house https://www.cultbeauty.co.uk/p/beauty-box/the-cult-beauty-advent-calendar-special-edition-worth-over-1-100/17921439/

After much deliberation, decided not to go for either edition of CB. Just not quite enough high end or special products compared to others at that price point. Besides I'm very brand loyal to liberty and got both mens and womens BACs.

I think I will hold out for SNK but let's face it ladies, with the exception of a few very popular ones these will be available as we go through sept, oct and even nov. I'm sure most of their target market don't snap them all up the day of release.

The ones that will sell out quick IMO are the fragrance ones. Now those I will buy straight away.

use code CBAFF when buy CB can have a 20%off!!

Thanks! I’ve just placed another order but my first is processing. Worth trying for £50ish discount though. If I get it I will return and hope for the best with CB returns service! I used a credit card so can do chargeback too.

Plus 2% c/b at Quidco with that code!

I was swung by the CBAFF discount - bet they will close that one soon. Also had £5 points which brought it down to £190, plus £20 giftcard means it's effectively £170.

Hope they honour the discount price and don't cancel them or something.

So annoyed I didn't try a code. I should have known better with CB.

This made me lol, 8:55 not buying CB, discount code posted, 15 mins after saying not buying, bought CB 🤣 love it!!!

I unknowingly bought with the discount code too. I wouldn't be surprised if the orders are cancelled later. I just hope I'm not banned and lose my credit 😬

Why do you think they’ll be cancelled? It had a 20% discount on launch last year.

There was no way I was waiting this year not after last year! I’m still enjoying the lovely 2025 Cult Beauty advent calendar. Haven’t started on the blushes yet. Love the RMS lip gloss, and the Paula’s Choice barrier protection moisturiser. Nearly finished the Kayali perfume and I never finish perfumes. Really looking forward to CB Special edition and won’t look at the contents again.

Just because they cancelled some of the orders we all put through with the 40% off code and then again when we were all doing sheet mask orders to get £10 credit 🤣 I didn't know that they did 20% off last year, that makes me more hopeful that the orders will go through 🤞🏻

I just never can resist a good hack.😂

@JoRaRaRa theyve replied to my request to cancel and said they can’t whilst it’s processing, but to email them again when it’s despatched as they can tell the courier to not send. They said if that’s not done I can do a return and use a code to make the return free. So I’m happy with that.

I had no plans to buy the CB advent but was swayed by essentially £70 off (CBAFF and the credit) 🫣

Be interesting to see how SNK and Liberty are in stock. I think this CB assuming they honour it will have a big impact.

Ive just checked my look fantastic order. Ordered 2 ritual sets that were on here other day. Only 1 has come but got free beach bag. Email says delay but im not bothered if they cancel as only ordered 2 for beach bag and remember seeing on here that they had sold out 🤔

so far I've ordered liberty, liberty men's, fenwick, harrods frag, JL frag, cult beauty and LF frag. And it's only the 2nd of september!!!!

I was only intending to get one BAC - F&M - (unless massive reductions later on) but was thinking of getting the Hearst Magazines beauty boxes to do a DIY one with some other stuff, but I also succumbed to the CB with the discount code and I had some account credit. So now I really must stop myself getting the beauty boxes, mustn't I?
