Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD TWENTY ONE

[OvaHere]

Welcome back everyone to the new thread and hello to any newbies - join us now in time for the autumnal fun. 🍂💄🌂

As always when the Advent threads are running hot this thread is a little quieter but holiday releases, sets and edits are just around the corner. I'm super excited to be going to Sephoria London in October - I still can't believe I lucked out getting a ticket.

Some exciting homegrown news -after a few technical hiccups the FB group is now searchable (but private) MN Beauty Chat Swap/Trade/Sell.* *For those interested in the group we have a few joining rules you will be asked to abide by. Thank you @MrsBnow12 @CinderellaParker for your help.

Is the 20% off in store too? I want to use up my vouchers as I’m still determined to boycott SNK after that for the August debacle.

Been using the RMS lip product from the CB edit. I was quite excited by this but it's been a dud. Lips got dryer and over 3 nights I ended up with 3 big red spots. Stopped using it and not happened since. I think it gets on pillow (side sleeper) and causes it. Will try again during day.

In vinted news got the newer stylpro LED mask for under £50 which was fab, works fine. Bought a Sturm face mask for £20 and Evri seem to have lost it.
In terms of not upsetting the algorithm I only tend to list 5 beauty items a week. I upset it when I started and I've not triggered since I followed this rule.

Hmm i was planning on saving my SNK points incase of a FAC. Might use them today on the 20% instead..

Good to know. I'll try to do the same. Ive just uploaded 3 books there because I'm paranoïd now lol.

I also want to get my money out of Vinted before continuing

My Sculpted by Aimee is here, I like the bag!

And I have now spent my JL £5 discount on SbA stuff, I think with the Boots edit and this shop, I have more or less bought the sold-out advent (apart from the palette) anyway :)

I found the Selfridges edits - there were 4 on display and they're all in the beauty workshop bit

1. The Beauty kit of your dreams - £120
2. The Longevity skincare edit - £80
3. The Everything Shower kit - £70
4. The Mask Library - £60

The SNK 20% thing rubbish, loads of exceptions.

Is it in Selfridges in London? I have been today morning & couldn’t find it 🙈

This was the Manchester Exchange Square store. They should be where the 'shop' bit is, i.e. where they sell a range of products on shelves. In Manchester it's in a corner at the back of the beauty floor.

ETA, the assistant did say there hadn't been much interest in them - no wonder if they haven't been advertised...

Also - the Selfridges BAC did look good on display

Thanks so much @keepincool. Those boxes look good. There’s 18 products in that £120 box - almost enough for an a/c!

The pictures are great!

Just realised the mask one is online. I found that yesterday and was tempted.

That is a really good box. It's tempting but there's a few things I already have and definitely don't need in it. I imagine the Trinny serum costs nearly as much as the box though.

Spoke too soon, two of my three SbA items were "damaged in the warehouse" (AKA the stock info wasn't up to date) and so they will be delayed. I had better still get my £5 off :)

I just bought the EGF serum for 28 pounds on Vinted. I bundled it with the Paula's Choice Retinol cream for a tenner and something else for just a pound. It got discounted as a bundle for 35 pounds including all fees.

Oh, I forgot to check out my basket with the Sculpted by Aimee edit, and now it’s sold out 🙈

On the plus side, I remembered that I’ve still not worn the Phlur vanilla skin that I’ve got in my stash, so I spritzed it on today. I love it! It’s lasted all day and I’ve had a lovely whiff of it whilst I’ve been working.

I am still debating making use of the Sephora GWP, I don’t need it but I was debating getting an MBM palette anyway (it was between the one in the BAC and the similar neutral one). Also been throwing bits into my SNK basket.

I’ve lost track of who is looking for what, but the phlur scents are in the space nk 20% off, including the selection box.

Phlur fan here too, am tempted. BTW has anyone had a look at the ASOS beauty sale? I got quite a few Sunday Riley things in the sale last night when I was fending off the Sunday evening blues, quite a few good offers.
Not sure how I'm going to deal with my formidable stash when it finally takes on its true form in December. Maybe IBN numbers? Already dealing with 'must finish everything that's open before starting new products' but I like to have a variety on the go, so this approach is unnecessarily punitive. Weird how one half of my brain is throwing money out of the window and the other half is very stern and will not let me use anything new.

Thanks @keepincool - they do look very good. I wish I’d found them when I was there yesterday. I searched the shop floor but it’s not my local shop so clearly missed the beauty workshop area. No wonder they’re not selling! I hope they go online.

I must agree about the advent though- it looked great on display. Even my DH was impressed (or at least pretended to be 😂).

I can't see the Phlur selection box in the offer on Space NK, i wonder if it's user or level specific.

Sorry, I meant discovery set - Christmas on the brain with all the advents.

This one:

Ah gotcha I see, thank you @SheilaFentiman!

I think I might be onto something with the perfume xmas selection box though - something between an edit and a full FAC 😀😀
