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. 😊

It lasted about 3.5-4 hours! I didn’t think I’d get the advertised 10 but I thought it might be a little longer than 4!

I’ll try leaving it on a bit longer next time…

I have just heard from a source , it’s not cryptic just can’t be bothered to explain 😂 that the 26th27thvis the best time to get online for Fortnum and Mason bargains . Now I cannot promise its for all things beauty but maybe worth popping in calendar 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well I'm not male and I like it. I wouldn't say its particularly male. Its a smoky vanillary one, slightly spicy.

I always check scent profile + reviews on fragrantica if unsure

Some of the reviews on fragrantica, particularly by men, are hilarious!

Space NK have double points this weekend and the gwp is still available at the moment.

Thank you! I pulled the trigger on the Sarah Creal concealer as it’s topped me up to a £10 reward (my first ‘Deluxe’ reward!). I’ve also noticed the section to select two samples is back, although there’s only one sample available (an AoS cream).

I went into SpaceNK in Manchester Arndale to try the SC concealer, but they only had about 10 SC eye pencils hidden away with a load of other jumble at the tills, nothing else.

Not helpful if you’re in Manchester, but they have a full stand at Westfield White City. I could have worn 3.25 or 4 which surprised me as it’s not at all sheer.

Thanks @Addictedtobeautythat’s exactly what I’m after re bath salts. Really helpful thank you ☺️ I love the candle that came in the recent liberty bath kit. I’m also really tempted by their subscription. Off to have another look….👀

@keepincool likewise the Beverley store yesterday. I’m hoping Meadowhall might have the full range. Whilst red lipsticks don’t suit m, I swatched the LE Christmas red lipstick and it is the most beautiful cool toned shade and stunning sheen. I wish it did suit me! I might ask to have it applied in store and see if it can convert me. I might take a risk with Black Friday discount and have a voucher too, then it is not so much of an expensive mistake.
I am on the fence with my chantecaille aventurine, I’ve only swatched it once but not sure about the colour, I actually wish it was a little darker. It is very pretty though. I will try it again with proper make up on and am out for two nice occasions this weekend.

Boots icons is Aveda love the bag again but again not fussed about the contents https://www.boots.com/boots-x-aveda-beauty-icons-gift-set-10399395

Boots have some Christmas beauty crackers. They are quite nice for £25. however, I have far too much so they are not for me. There are 3 different ones. This is the link for one.

however, I did go for this bobbi brown star gift which has an extra 10% off so now £48, (advantage card offer) and I also had an advantage card saving of £12 so it would have been rude not to.

Sorry just catching up. It’s tiny…

Try again with the photo….

Did you manage to get the offer? I added items I wanted and activated the offer but it didn’t show in my basket
(incidentally Boots are really annoying me as I spend ages last night doing the 4 for 2 offer and by the time I went to check out because lots of things were coming up as in store only or OOS, it just turned midnight 🙈 and the offer expired)

No, I was struggling with the app version today (it would only show me the 32 'most relevant' eligible products and not let me filter by price or brands) and by the time I got onto a laptop, the offer had gone, I think. I guess all 600 'sold out' fast

NB the algorithm's idea of most relevant and mine are wildly different!

Thanks @SheilaFentiman for the boots offer I ordered Dior spf stick, foundation stick and a benefit brow pencil it stacked with the £20 off £100 and got the free gift too. Happy as it’s all stuff I use

Boots are doing a tiktok live at 11am today, thought I'd share incase anyone is interested.

Thanks for this - I use the strengthening leave in treatment and the scalp treatment, so this was a no brainer for me. Ordered.

The bags are really nice, I have the SbA burgundy one and it's a really good size.

It annoys me that they dont tell you whats in the free gift. 🤷
App playing up for me as well. Stuck. Hard work. Losing the will to live now gone. Oh well. When you are looking for stuff you dont need may be a good thing its gone.
🤣🤩
