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

[OvaHere]

New thread. Welcome back everyone. It's taken a while to get through the last due to how busy the advent threads have been.

All the holiday releases are coming out now and Black Friday is looming. So take a seat and buckle up. 😊

Yes I'm sure I could. When my current S&C is used up I could try putting them in those bottles instead.

@Nolatime77 I would love to take that off your hands! PM me!

The Ouai set is good. I love the detox shampoo. I only use it every few weeks, so dont need another FS yet.
Also think the new LiB edit looks good, but not going to get it, as trying to hold off buying more stuff👀 the famous words🤭🙈

Just got the Ouai set with points and purchased the Lib box from TikTok for £64. My first time buying from TikTok shop, also got a full size haruharu cleansing oil (which I love) for £6.65. Really must stop buying things now!

Can I ask you all knowledgeable people if Ouai is good for fine, bleach-damaged hair or if there are better products to make it look healthier and repair the damage?

The Allies of Skin Multi Peptides & Growth Factor Advanced Lifting Serum 15ml is included in the Fall20 offer on Revolve beauty - code Fall20 brings it to £74.40.

Just feels odd to buy one product for that price, even if it is 20% off. I'm being conditioned by edits to expect to get that serum and five other things and a comb.

I've not had it for a while as I refuse to pay full price. I had forgotten about the difficult bottle. I had to turn it over too when I knew I was using it. The leave in conditioner is one of my favourites. I do already have a fs ouai hair oil in my stash so I'm glad the one in the set is just a mini. I'll pop that one in my travel bag 🥰

Fenwicks have a gwp with £150 spend over 2 products. I’m considering the BAC.

If you're going to buy this, you might as well buy the 12 day advent calendar from revolve. It has 15ml of the serum in. Use code REVINSIDER15 to get it for £66ish.

Apologies the link didn’t post for the gwp

Ooh @JoRaRaRa stop it <going immediately to Revolve>

REVINSIDER15 takes 15% but Fall20 takes 20% so I could get it for £64... I don't know. I'm more tempted by the Fenwick GWP but unusually for me, I'm struggling to spend £150. Maybe I've got shopping fatigue?!

Well because I absolutely have no restraint. The revolve 12 days is arriving on Friday and Fenwicks has just been ordered. 🙈

@Beautyfox 😂😂😂You're an inspiration to us all. What did you get for the GWP?

I went for the BAC which I have been dithering about because it’s perfume heavy and in my wildest dreams I thought I may be purchasing the SFAC so held off but hey there’s nothing stopping me now. I also added the Liz Earle Christmas edition exfoliator. I really liked last years so thought I would give this a go.

I do the same 👆
the bottle is upside down on ShowerGem in the shower, almost finished but I intend to get every last drop from the bottle, actually used it this morning :)

Just in case this is of interest to anybody, Lisa Eldridge’s Betty palette is back in stock on her site. Having hit pan on 4 of the six shades in my current palette, I’m very happy to be able to get a replacement.

Advent

Oooh. I’m supposed to be working but I can’t concentrate 🤪 which perfume heavy BAC did you get @Beautyfox? If I’m being thick, apologies!

ignore me @Beautyfox ive worked it out. Solid BAC purchasing this morning 💪🏼

@Beautyfox I was looking at a Liz Earle set on QVC yesterday, spiced peach exclusive to QVC - a luminous blend of kumquat peel, juicy peach and soft white florals, gently warmed by hints of gingerbread, cinnamon and clove, ending on comforting musk, creamy sandalwood and soft vanilla. Elegant, cosy and irresistibly inviting.
It sounds lovely.

£64 is an absolute steal though when the serum alone costs £99 🥰 I've been trying a sample of it and it makes the skin feel so gorgeous. The smell is awful though, but after a few uses, you do get passed that. Thankfully @OvaHere told me that tip so I persevered and she was right. I'm planning to use the serum as soon as it arrives even though I have others in my stash - oooo do I buy a backup calendar?! 🤔

What's in the gwp please? I can't see a proper image of it.

The Fenwicks one it’s got a full size Thameen. Plus lots of other travel sizes.

@Beautyfox thank you 🥰 I'll have a think, I don't think I can justify another calendar at £250ish 🙈

Ended up ordering the Lib Beauty week edit for £54 on Tiktok shop🤪 I like the Sam Mcknight texture spray & Cosrx. Happy with the rest of the items too. Looking foward to trying Nuxe, Revitalash & Floral street. No more buying now🙄
