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. 😊

@DidILeaveTheGasOn Thank you! I wore Mykonos in the NARS. Still, there’s so few shades it’ll probably be okay. Sorcery looks very warm and the models wearing Trade Secrets are a lot darker than me.

EXLPORE was working the other day but it has expired now.

I've just opened my Ouai x Boots edit and the body wash is missing 😡 why is everywhere so frigging slack?!?!

Oh that's crap. It's sold out so you won't be able to return and replace.

Liberty sale is on x
I really want the Chanel holiday blush, it seems out of stock at Boots and Sephora. Do we think this is it, no more stock? 🫠

Fenwick had that blush

Thank you ☺️

@ShineDespiteEverything i think boots haven’t had it in yet as they didn’t want it to go in the 25% off they had until yesterday. If you order from Chanel direct you get three free samples and gorgeous packaging and a festive charm on the bag (I chose the sleigh). Postage is also free. Part of me was going to hang on and see if JL had 15% off premium
make up soon but worried it might sell out. It really is just gorgeous!

@user593 that is the shade I am considering too. I think sorcery looks too warm and a little dark for me.

I’ve fallen in love with the Shiseido uplifting and firming eye masks but they’re soooo expensive. Does anyone know of any dupes for them, or anywhere that does offers on them?

The Sarah Creal brightener looks good but I think it’s something to get when there’s a GWP or 20% off at £44 . Does it dry mat or glowy ?
For eye hollows Maybeline fit me microscopic concealer is good. It’s a little twist up pencil so you can draw it directly in your hollows and tap to blend. Also good for just drawing on the dark bit under my eyes but not where I have lines.

Thank you ☺️ that’s good then. I also noticed that during 25% promo Dior holiday collection flew off the shelfs and lots of Chanel were sold out. I just checked Boots again and looks like Chanel holiday collection is available now. I’ll check my options. Enjoy your treasures, it’s a gorgeous collection.

@RuralVic I feel so enthusiastic about it that I would give them more of my money 😂 I used some reward points towards it and got free delivery too, but I would have paid full price easily had I known how good it was.
I was a bit down about my make up and under eyes on the weekend and I feel so much better now.

@IDontHateRainbows
Im exactly the same 🤣
Im not interested in the fragrance one either as have tried half of them and not keen. Im glad as got many cult edits the other week and im really trying to clear stuff especially with my skin playing up.🤷♥️🤣

I think they might have a GWP as well. Who can remember the empty bag last year? 😆

Heh, Fenwick have quite a good GWP with £150 spend.

Does anyone know if LF have any GWP or discounts on the men's grooming calendar?

Didn’t someone else say they got a mini shampoo instead of the body wash in theirs as well?

Does anyone else have trouble with Coupert? I just had to uninstall it as it was slowing everything down and making the SNK site crash.

I got some uplifting shiseido crème (face not eye specific) in TK maxx for £20 recently. Very chuffed!

Hey @ElizabethG81 I got a Shiseido uplifting and firming eye mask as a GWP with Stylevana yesterday. Worth a go

They did, I wonder if they had issues with getting enough body wash? I don't want to check mine as my DS wanted to get me it for Christmas although Id be happy with extra shampoo instead of body wash, but peed off if it was just missing.

I didn't see that. It was meant to have a full size shampoo and a travel size body wash. I don't really want to return it all, hopefully they'll send me a voucher or something.

Received my Boots Lancome and Luxe GWP boxes and they are sooo beautiful 😍 has anyone else got them? Not sure if they're still available, but with a £50 spend on Lancome you could get two GPW boxes which are both gorgeous

A bit relieved I’m not keen on any of the Liberty kits. Dissapointed with the fragrance kit. The only one that looks somewhat tempting is the grooming one. But I’ll pass and save my pennies. I also bought the Ouai edit and hope I got the body wash! I can’t check it as it’s at my relatives who will bring it with them in a few weeks (along with the other eleventy billion packages :))

I'm also relieved the kits hold no appeal except the scent one which ive ordered. I feel they've done too much all at once and a more considered curation of a mens and ladies would have been better.

Also the mens is far better value, annoying pink tax.
