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. 😊

Aurelia mystery box £69 value £259

Contains 6 products for a skincare routine and some vitamins

There's a couple of videos on the page that give a bit of look at what's in it.

I don't think I've tried the brand before. Has anyone else?

Thanks @JoRaRaRa . I also like the look of the white gold powder highlighter but again really do not need it. I do like cooler toned things like this.

@OvaHere i really like Aurelia. They often have 40% on the website. I use the spot cream on DS. I’ve had the night cream and cleanser, both lovely.

@OvaHere I've used their cleanser before and really liked it ☺️

I got a gold highlighter from Chanel in summer and it's just gorgeous! I love it! I've just bought a new one from chantecaille, and I feel like I need the new one from Dior. I don't, especially as I can't even physically fit any more in the drawer, but I'm probably still going to buy it 🤣

Thanks @JoRaRaRa @SummerLimes I'm not buying it but it seems like a good deal.

I might look out for a future one if they do them often.

A warning for you all. Do not ask Copilot how long it will take to use up all your stash! And this is before I add in anything from my advents... I will have to enjoy all the GWPs vicariously for a while, I clearly can't justify buying more!

Honestly, I thought it might be worse than 2-3 years!

Thank you @DidILeaveTheGasOn for making me giggle so much whilst brushing my teeth than Dh came into the bathroom to investigate the kerfuffle 😂🤦‍♀️😳

Honestly, I need more writing like that in my life, and less “circling back/ following on from / long term strategic shifts/ yada yada….”

I have a £50 back on £250 Fenwicks spend offer burning a hole in my virtual pocket. It’s only the unbudgeted and, quite frankly, unexpected safe arrival of the SFAC this evening that causes me to hesitate. Briefly, probably.

I have not had wine. I wanted wine after a shit few days but I didn’t have wine, if I had had wine, I would also have the FWBAC.

On reflection, my life would have been better with wine. At least for this evening.

This is how I discover Chanel's Christmas sets are out - thank you! 😂 Everything is so pretty.

It will be once I add in the contents of the advents, but they won't count until December!

And yet despite this, I'm still considering the Fenwicks BAC/GWP combo. Yes, I've had wine. Off to investigate my AMEX offers...

Thanks for sharing as had missed the Chanel launch, it was available at Fenwick so ordered that, YSL cream blush in Hot Mauve and I panned my Guerlain pressed meteorites so ordered another - order was exactly £150 so qualified for the gift.

I am off to Sephoria today as a gold ticket holders guest, so excited.

It really is 😍 I think I'm going to also pick up one of the sparkly lip glosses.

I bought the hot mauve cream blush last month and still not used it 🙈 I was so desperate to get it too that I just couldn't wait 🤣 maybe today is the day though 🤔 I have been using my Love Hourglass palette which is just so gorgeous and a dream to work with 😍

Hope you and @OvaHere have fun at Sephoria. We want your full report later ladies 🥰

I am a huge Hourglass palette fan and the highlighter in the Love palette is the best. I should have Wish arriving today as ordered from Space NK and added some face masks to get the £20 off. As I have been using Love, Wish will go into my DIY advent along with the Chanel blush.

Thanks. @BeautyMoth is going with her DD too. Not sure if there's anyone else, sorry if I've forgotten and missed someone.

The LF Beauty Vault is live. https://www.lookfantastic.com/p/beauty-box/the-vault-worth-over-760/17691465

TCB is 5%
Currently 5OFF takes it down to £190.

I'm really tempted by this as it has the MZ serum, KS cleanser, Ordinary hair serum which are all products I love. Apart from TO I do already have back ups though and I have a lot of advent stuff plus I'm off to Sephoria.

Sensible head says pass because of the above and it's £50 more than last year.

Yeah, I bought the love one mainly for the highlighter and it is stunning! I love it 😍

I’ve ordered the Boots Ouai box this morning. I’ve been wanting to try the shampoo for ages.

A few other things may have also slipped into the basket but I did manage to resist the advents, mainly because I already have the one I want 😆

The Love palette is fab. Out of the 3 I own it's the one that suits me best. I can't believe it's still for sale though after all our launch day shenanigans when we thought it would sell out immediately, like in the US @JoRaRaRa 😂

@OvaHere maybe wait and see what you get at Sephoria and then decide. Plus someone might be able to find a better code later - I'll have a look for you 👀

Oh hope you enjoy Sephoria too @BeautyMoth and anyone else going 🥳

Now I'm wishing that I was going too instead of working 😮‍💨

Agree about the LF vault @OvaHere. Good products but it’s a bit pricey now.

I didn't buy last year's but I did buy in 2024 and thought it was really good. I'm sure it was about £120 back then.

@OvaHere@MrsBnow12 DD shared this link from the Sephoria press event last night. Super excited now!

Oops…. link not working. - drchristinehall posted on insta.

Can't see a link. I'll try googling.
