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. 😊

Use LFBEAUTY for 21% off the LF vault

I think COSY20 only works on fragrances unfortunately. SAVE23 works on some premium beauty like Guirlain and Lancome (so stacks up against the GWP) but I don't think it works on Dior (at least not the items I wanted). I managed to get 10% off Dior on Sephora by making it one of my favourite brands. Sephora stocks the Dior medallion and the sets as well.

Thanks @XelaM - I've been diligently recycling my empties at Boots and have used some of my points on a mascara and primer from Lancome thus getting both of those GWPs. A treat and it was free - what's better than that???

Does anyone recognize this as a GWP and where it may be from? (Pic coming).

My friend asked if I'd be interested in it but its not one I've come across anywhere

Has anyone been to the HBeauty carnival yet, and if so what are the goody bag contents? I bought a ticket but wish I hadn't as the featured fragrance brand seems to be Kayali and I don't like gourmand scents, so I'm hoping there are other options

I went last year. There's loads of partner brands, you build your own gift set when you purchase something for £70+. The game this year is like a hook the duck thing but with balls instead of ducks, so as you've paid the £15 extra for the luxe pass you'll get to go on that to win a prize. There's masterclasses from different brands. So don't worry, there will be stuff you like there 🥰 Which one are you going to?

Just got this in an email from Colour Wow

@JoRaRaRa I booked the Lakeside one, in 2 weeks time. I went last year too and that got me hooked on Maison Crivelli! I'm just feeling a bit meh about Kayali tbh, and the Lakeside one involved vast queues last year so I was contemplating skipping it but the tickets are non refundable apparently. I just can't think what I'd spend the £70 on atm either. Obviously I'd manage somehow though 😅😂😂

@LightandBreezy - I will be there too. I also heartily dislike Kayali and certainly shouldn’t be spending £70 on anything beauty related given the size of my stash! However, I am sure I will find something 🙀

Edited to ask: Are they doing the 10% Rewards discount at the HCarnival?

You build your own goody bag . There’s loads of options . But yes the only fragrance was Kayali . I got it because of the value I thought I’ll stick it on Vinted or give to DD21.
I posted my haul but I’ve put it away for my DIY advent .
Some options were hourglass , colour wow , redken , clarins , Anastasia

I went to look for the love one ! There’s a luck , wish and hope . Did you mean luck ? It’s the darkest one

I know stock varies from store to store but my local Boots has a lot of these on clearance for £20. I got one and also used it to do some recycling so got £5 back in points. I don’t normally check the clearance section but I’ll be more vigilant from now on!

No, definitely Love. It's a Sephora exclusive https://www.sephora.co.uk/p/hourglass-ambient-lighting-edit-unlocked-face-palette-P1000216397?
Drop down on there to select Love 🥰 it is the one I've bought too and Ova, it's very pretty 🩷

There’s also this set: https://www.tkmaxx.com/uk/en/women/beauty/beauty-gifts/skincare-sets/the-expert-edit-skincare-gift-box/p/42119198. I’m pretty well stocked for the Bio-Placenta Serum and Rich Cream otherwise I’d be buying!

My LiB edit has arrived. Ordered yesterday, super fast delivery from Tiktok shop. Really happy with it, bargain for £54!

I'm still a bit new to the UK. I wasn't familiar with The White Company until a week ago. Do they offer discounts on their Christmas candles and diffusers?

If you can hold fire they usually do a 20% off later this month or November. Obviously, there’s no guarantee of stock but they usually still have things in stock then. There was a 15% code knocking about but I can’t remember it and I’m not sure it’s still valid but someone on here may be more helpful about that.

@LightandBreezy @IlovePond - I would be interested in buying Kayali off you unless it’s the rose one (not a fan of rose fragrances), @HolidayHattie kindly donated some Kayali samples (alongside a bunch of others) and I absolutely love them!
Also - if anyone got the bigger Revolve BAC and doesn’t want the Babe Lash serum - I would be interested in buying it off you 😊

Amazing day at Sephoria! @OvaHere @MrsBnow12 hope you enjoyed it too! Sharing some stash pics…

@BeautyMoth that deserves a 😮😮😮😮🥳🥳🥳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow! That is epic!

Aaaah now it makes sense ! When you both said Love I thought hang on… JoJo couldn’t be wrong ! Now I need a Sephora code or GWP for that extra nudge as I’ve still got plenty of the Evil Eye one …

@BeautyMoth Love the haul, wow! How did you carry it all?

Envy @BeautyMoth !!

Wow @BeautyMoth what a haul! That's very impressive 😍
