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. 😈😍😂

This sounds great! I have to decide if I want to set-up an FB account, I hate FB but very tempted 🤔.

It does sound great but I can’t PM anyone for some reason.
I can receive but not send. @CinderellaParker

SummerLimes · 11/09/2026 16:45

I also haven’t got fb but does sound a great idea.

Thanks for this, hunting for a box for my sister in law and this might be it!

@IDontHateRainbows @Addictedtobeauty are you able to see the PMs I sent you?

Yes, replied. Thanks

ooh I love anything Augustinus Bader but what a change that is - I was sooooo sceptical when they first started popping up in advents and had them down as a filler brand. Until I tried a sample. I've bought the Cultbeauty advent because it has the rich cream in it!! and I'm trying to sell off the rest of the completely unsuitable-for-me items so I might end up with that free 😁...I hope!!

Anyone else spotted this new release? I really want to try this but £290 😬

Hopefully Beauty Drop or other boxes will come through with some sample sizes before too long.

This looks really good but wayyy too expensive 😭 praying for some samples.

That's the Murad product that's in Elle BAC and what's tempting me with Elle BAC. I'd be better getting this. Has anyone used it before?

Yes, I have been using it since January and it has really improved my skin. It was also what was making me want the Elle BAC.

It's the bioeffect eye serum that's calling me. I've just used a fs tube of it though and not seen any difference. I now have the mz skin one to use from the ftf edit which is also in the Harrods BAC.

JoRaRaRa · 11/09/2026 20:55

I can't decide if I want that overnight edit, I might wait and see if a code works with it then decide.

@OvaHere I keep looking at the HG palettes but I think they’ve missed the mark this year for fairer skin. I bought the dragon palette 2 years ago and still use it every single day. I actually use it for eyes too the bronzer and highlight go on lovely x

The dragon pallette was amazing and I have used most of it now after using it nearly every day.
I was really looking forward to getting a new one this year but I agree, they won't work for my light cool toned skin.

I'm tempted tro treat myself to a HG bronzer as there is a blush coming in one of my Advents so I dont need a full pallette 🥲

This is me…. I love this idea but I don’t actually have Facebook. I will look into it.

It's a bit of pain but there wasn't really a more suitable option.

My AI says I don’t need the the edit. Apparently duplicates my current products. I don’t think it knows as much as it thinks it does.

BookShark · 12/09/2026 00:48

I'm tempted to get the edit as I need to test the £20 voucher I should have had from the advent - I never received it but they've messaged me the code (eventually). - I just don't trust them.

But between that and my points, it would be practically free, and I'd use everything. Seems like a no-brainer, no?!

Absolutely, would be mad NOT to get it 😀 Although, now I'm wondering if I should wait for the Christmas edits before spending my credit 🤔
