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. 😈😍😂

🤣 well I do quite like the look of Luck but I think that would be too dark for me. I don't think I'll buy it when it gets released in a few days but if that one or Hope go into the sale, I might pick one up then. It's the rose highlighter in Love that I really like 😍

Maybe suggest to your other half you have an extended Dublin - NYC trip picking up both BT advent and HG Love palette in the process. Beauty tourism!😂

Ooh, the fairy is back on Vinted! They just had one sunny days goody bag listed which is now sold, but glad to see they've got their account back

Who is the fairy please?

For those of us who love a Hourglass holiday palette, they should be out soon.

Oooh I have managed to use up 4 of the pans in the 2024 dragon pallette. I've loved it and considering how long it's lasted im very tempted to get another

Cyclingmummy1 · 06/09/2026 21:54

I don't know what to do @IlovePond. If I knew the goody bag was good then it would be a no brainer.

IlovePond · 06/09/2026 22:23

@Cyclingmummy1 - what’s putting me off the events is I am not sure if you get a goody bag - does it say on the booking? Sometimes it’s just the cost of the ticket off a product.

I just went back to my JL a/c to check but could just see £35 masterclasses with no mention of money ifc or hoody bags. I think I will sit these ones out.

Fillybuster · 06/09/2026 22:51

Those HG palettes are so pretty! I need to work on my blush game: I don’t really know what I’m doing, esp with bronzer. Welcome any suggestions of who to check out on IG for advice!

@user593 the mask was very lovely but I don’t think it made any discernible difference 😂

A while back there was some discussion re the contents of the Face the Future edits. I seem to recall that one of the products in the Wellness one was Ancient and Brave collagen. I use that (and swear by it) and I was considering their mega bundle as it seems a fairly small amount for the extra products. Does anyone know what those are though? I like the idea of a surprise more than I like actual surprises...

It's a £15 voucher and 'samples' which to me means sachets not big enough to base any decision on.

I went to buy an H beauty luxe ticket as we've decided not to go away at half term and they aren't available so I'm assuming I came acros it by accident and they've taken it down until they are ready to launch.

IDontHateRainbows · 07/09/2026 07:27

Decent samples on snk this morning including medik8 serum and the new replica fragrance

are you still able to select two samples? It’s only letting me select one (greying out the others) 😱

Not sure exactly but I expect it's all stuff from recent bundles that haven't sold out.

Ive succumbed and bought 2 more bags off the fairy with the medik 8 peptides. Talking about it being good got me thinking. 🤔 dangerous 🤣
Also got one of the make up gwp even though I have 1 i havent opened but good value to gift bits and was paying postage anyway.

I used the decree pm the other night on my neck and face My neck is now red, I forgot my neck is extra sensitive. Very stressful time so that make my skin more sensitive. My face likes it but i must remember next time. 😜
I have a meeting today so will need a good cover up make up.
Wanted to buy something so got my fix x

I know but I've tried in vain to search the threads here to see if anyone identified them. I hoped that someone might remember a few of them.

Please can someone pm me details for the mysterious fairy of beauty edits!

CinderellaParker · 07/09/2026 10:14

Imminent Elemis TSV on QVC. Very tempted as the rich marine cream is my winter ride or die.

For anyone who has tried the Prequel Gleanser, is it actually any good? I’m mulling over a SNK order.
