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

[OvaHere]

Welcome back all.

We rattled through the last thread and with Black Friday round the corner this one will go fast too. I hope we haven't all spent up on advents... 😂

Thank you as always to our regulars for you contributions and if you've been reading and thinking of joining come and say hello. 😊

I had this issue with the Dior medallion and it's now gone out of stock 😭 I also have it with the Guerlain lip case but I've just deleted that out of my bag, I'm not too fussed about picking that up. The annoying thing is that I always buy direct from Dior so I don't even know why I have it as a favourite on there 🙄

Any Maison Margiela Replica fans, some decent deals on Notino. Just ordered the christmas countdown calendar for £67 with code SALE, is going for £120 on cult beauty website! I needed over £80 to get the freebie (a mini up at dawn) so added a 10ml afternoon delight.
Love Notino, they have decent deals and usually a code that works on top.

Totally influenced and we know I am a marketers dream - I went with the Danessa Myricks eye palette and new Rare beauty gift set. As @ovaherementioned I am having the same issue with MBM as it’s one of my top brands so hoping they fix they soon and I can check out my second basket.

@JoRaRaRa it’s in stock at JL and in the £20 off if you spend £100 offer (BEAUTY100)

Parfums de marly countdown calendar is 20 %off at Harrods but strangely I'm not tempted this year. Feel like I've had my fill of PDM and whilst I've enjoyed some of the scents, this isn't calling to me. I know there are a few PDM fans about tho so thought I'd share the love.

Thank you, just bought this, even though I don't even know if I like the fragrances included 🤭

They have applied shrinkflation so its not calling out to me either. And I dont want a keychain either. Give me a candle, a hairmist. Anything really

Any discount codes for SNK going around?

I'm not bothered this year either. The only scent left I would like is Athenais but the woman in Liberty told me there's stock issues and they haven't had it for months.

I'm not too fussed about pdm either. I have Valaya from last year's HFAC. If it had been meliora or athenais I would have been very interested.

This is cute from m&s

I bought by the fireplace from SNK, what's Jazz like, very male?

Thanks from me too - I missed the Rich Moisturiser last time round, but fell in love with it a few months ago when I tried a small pot. I've ordered 2 now 😁

I really don't need more moisturiser, I have loaaaads! But the MZ rich one is the best I've tried, absolutely brilliant for my skin.

Another Notino fan here - very good deals, and I've always had good service, speedy delivery. I mostly get hair stuff, but will look a bit wider at the sale 😆

Well the John Lewis PDM sample might have been too good to be true. I’ve had an email this morning saying currently out of stock and delayed - and if it doesn’t come back into stock I’ll be refunded in 28 days. Great….! Fingers crossed JL manage to rustle some more up given they offered the reward.

Oh boo! Mine has been dispatched and should be able to click and collect today with my order. There was definitely a prior reward (Medik8, maybe?) which went out of stock before I could order it.

I'm also weighing up my Sephora basket and was going to ask for recommendations. I'm silver so will only get 20% off which means I only really want to buy brands that are exclusive to Sephora - it's easy enough to get 20% off on other brands.

In my basket at the moment I have the Merit complexion stick and millennial lipstick, a makeup by Mario lip gloss that I liked in store, Dior lip butter, a little Tatcha set and their blotting papers which haven't seen anywhere else. Also a makeup forever lip balm I saw recommended on a reel yesterday.

Anything else anyone really rates from any Sephora brands?

Of course I mustn't actually buy all of this! Especially as I just spent a fortune on SNK to get the GWP. And Black Friday is just round the corner. But it's so rare to get good discounts on some of those brands, and it's just fun building up the basket...

It's the only way I can afford to buy MZ Skin, so I'm always stalking TKMaxx for bargains!

I had the same - Selfridges continuing to cover themselves in glory! Thanks for posting the list.

The replica set looked interesting. I'd have gone for it if By the Fireplace was the big bottle, but I'm not a huge fan of Jazz Club. Good value though!
