@RipplePlease6 that Jo loves candle certainly does sound gorgeous 😋

@SheilaFentiman I like the sound of the kiko bac but I've hardly used anything from last year's so I need to have a word with myself 🙈

I got oh my cream last year reduced. It had ab cream and tata harper eye in so was a bargain. Think it was just over £100 but could be wrong. I bought a lot last year 🤣
None so far this year. Have so much left 🤣 plus I bought a LOT of edits,gwp, etc. 🤣
Will see what gets reduced as I cant resist a bargain. Wouldn't pay £200 for it but I do like the bag. 🤩

I just ordered the asos one for my 13 year old for £78 as the new customer code works for it

I like the Oh My Cream bag and a couple of the items but most are really, really small. Even throwing in the GWP (also really small!) it doesn’t make it worth it. A bit disappointed at the full reveal as I thought the sneak preview was right up my alley.

Now debating whether to jump on Vogue but I’m waiting to see the price/sizes of the Selfridge’s FAC first.

I think I'd consider the oh my cream if it gets reduced - for anyone who wanted to pre-order though the code BAG26 currently works alongside so you'd get the Ba&sh kimono dressing gown and the gwp as well (although these are all travel sizes).

Oh my cream reveal is dissapointing. I had high hopes for that one. Hair clips, nail polish, supplements.. I don’t think I’ll be buying a bac at this rate. I’m only in the market for 1 and I need to love it unless reduced. Edited to add: I do like the bag though except not sure if the pouches are attached inside or they’re just how the bits are presented. Attached would be weird.

And what even is that fragrance description?
‘Red flag isn’t a warning. It’s a sentimental trap you love to fall into. A fragrance full of tension, taking the shape of an invisible flower that pulses between the surface. When the forbidden becomes temptation. You hesitate, but your skin doesn’t…’ Ok then! 😂

I thought that about the Red flag description too!

I'm at the point where I'm just relieved when I don't love an AC reveal. I have enough on my wishlist as it is.

Update on my Cult Beauty BAC, original hasn't arrived, replacement still hasn't been sent. So basically no update 🤣

Rubbish. I'm still a bit peeved I paid full price for mine but at least it arrived quickly and I got the voucher and the points immediately. Silver lining!

I got the voucher immediately. That would've been more of a piss take if I'd paid full price and it still hadn't arrived 🤣

Ooh now I am very tempted by the You one. Thanks for putting this on my radar! I have signed up to the waitlist.

There you all are! I missed you. Thabks for the new(ish) thread 😀

@pinkchampagne1
I was just catching up on previous post and read your update. So sorry to read this. 😪
It happened to my mum a few weeks ago. It's her funeral tomorrow. 😪 I feel in a bit of a bubble atm but the brains way of coping i suppose. ❤️
Im just relieved that she is now at peace and not suffering. She went into a hospice for the last few days and they were amazing.
Pm me if you want to. Take care of yourself. Difficult times ahead but you will come out the other side. Life is cruel. 💔

Sorry dont want to take over thread ❤️

@Doglover73 sending lots of love your way 🩷💐

Got an Email from SNK, got a time slot to order inbetween 8-30 to 9-30. Does say Nduldge exclusive.

Just got this from SpaceNK 🎉

🎉🎉🎉
Looks like we all got different slots. I don’t mind, at least the website will not be crashing 🤣

Sorry to hear that @Doglover73, take care of yourself x

My spacenk email came through too . My slot is 9.30-11.30am. I will be at work so I either ask dh to order it for me, wait till my lunchbreak at 1.30pm or stick to my original decision which was not to buy. The problem is I went through the list and actually decided that there are only 2 DOD for me and I want it after all. However I really want Sephora and if that gets released tomorrow I will need dh to order that. Im going to watch some unboxings.

I got mine as well. I’m going to end up getting brown Thomas AND SNK aren’t I?

chatgpt enabled me also.. mainly because I’m having a c-section for my first baby on Thursday and I’ll need all the dopamine I can get. 🙈

I got this too. I must not buy it.

It's not one I want so I need to sit with the discomfort of not buying SpaceNK this year. Goodness knows why it feels difficult not to buy something I don't really want. Nothing bad will happen if I just leave it for other people.

I'll be driving when my slot opens so that will help.
