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. 😊

I was going to get the New Discoveries one, but decided against it. Maybe if another code works I'll grab it!

I got the forever love and the perfume CB boxes with the discount. Have just put of the discotheque perfume on. It's nice, though very strong

Best thing for opening parcels/slicing open tape, and by far my most used item ever, is a mini ceramic cutter like this one. Don't know how I survived without it!

Both my CB edits were supposed to arrive today via RM - one has been miss-routed but the other one turned up.
Fingers crossed the second one isn't lost forever................

CB still processing- with next day delivery and as a new customer.

@CinderellaParker your outfit sounds better! In fact I think you should definetly go for it ‘striking’’ is what you are after do not confirm ! Mind you I’m not sure you should take advice from me I am approaching 60 I’ve got a mood on clearly . But I am not going down conforming and I truly don’t think you should either ! Be a stunning be you xxx

Jarrolds have released the women’s hamper. It’s not for me but it would make a lovely gift.

I've viewed the FtF Winter Radiance Edit a couple of times recently. FtF offered me £25 off but I resisted. Today they offered me £50 off with code WRE50 to take it to £99.99

I'm still resisting, but if anyone else is interested I think the code is generic.

I would ring them. That's what I did and they sorted it vin a few days

Yes I just tried the code and it worked @keepincool I just can’t see even £100 worth of products there even so. I’d like the eye cream but Mildred informs me, sighing and pinching the bridge of her nose and very much trying not to lose her shit, that I already have that exact MZ Skin eye cream coming in the Harrods BAC.

What’s with these hypochlorous sprays appearing in edits? I don’t really get them as a concept.

They're supposed to be good for acne. I've bought my teen a few in the last couple of years.

Oh okay, that’s good to know! Thanks @OvaHere!

My CB edits arrived today and I love them! The actual boxes are so much nicer than expected and would be lovely as gifts; it’s a shame that they have the edit name on.
In other news, 2 overnight edits also arrived. Now, I do remember ordering but don’t recall ordering 2 of them; I checked and sure enough it’s correct. I clearly have trouble ordering single quantities of things 😅

The boxes are gorgeous aren’t they? The fragrance one is such a nice little size for storing 2ml fragrance bottles. I really like the others too, they’ve done well with the designs and quality.

I love the boxes. Sold the CT mascaras for £12 each (I’m fussy about mascara). Well everything really.

My Luminous Skin edits are apparently 8 stops away. I didn’t know they delivered so late!

I used Hypochlorous Acid on my neck when I kept getting a sweat rash when it was hot. It’s quite gentle and kills off bacteria.

Oh that is useful to know! I usually put my excess stash into the Christmas stockings so that will be good for my nephew…

So so pleased with my 4 Cult Beauty Edits too (with the code). A few are gifts and the boxes are indeed lovely.

Thank you so much you lot for being so on the ball with this stuff!

I have the Harrods BAC, John Lewis Frangrace advent and now the edits. I have sold a few bits and kept some beautiful items.

Very happy with all I’ve ‘saved’ 😁

A bit gutted / worried that despite ordering my 2 CB edits yesterday morning with theoretical same day delivery, I’ve not yet received a dispatch email. Eek. Also, had hoped they would arrive whilst DH was out today not when he’s home and I’m out tomorrow pm!

There are some good buys in Boots £10 Tuesday today. Bobbi Brown, Estée Lauder and MAC mascaras, a few other MAC bits, Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream, La Roche Posay Cicaplast Spray and quite a few other bits which may be of interest here. I bought two of the Kiehl’s and one of the LRP.

I got my DH the Clinique for men moisturiser and face wash (showing remarkable resolve I didn’t get anything for me for once - after my recent splurges elsewhere ahem). I do find £10 Tuesday has some gems from time to time.

CB have some pretty good free gifts today if you spend £60

For those that collect Boots points, they currently have:
3 for 2 YSL offer +
free gift worth £139 +
20% discount 😍

They also appear to have the £20 voucher back when you buy the advent. If only a discount code would work too.
