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 agree @user593 - also the products are for dry hair, so no good for me. It would have been much more sensible to put products in that everyone could use. (Or the Genesis range - I would have been all over that!)

Ooh - which codes work?

I would also like to know this!

Now I want the Murad 😭

Sorry to enable but I have it, and it’s really lovely. Creamy, smooth texture and (so far), not drying.

Edit for sp.

The edit they did last year at this time was the Genesis.

I feel like some of the Boots edits this year have suffered a bit from shrinkflation compared to last year.

Found it, CBAFF works. Brings it down to £38 with free delivery

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 06/11/2026 10:15

Yes I love the Murad too. It was in one of the CB edits so I ended up buying two. And then the Regimes edit as well.

And CBSALI brings in down to £36!

💥CB edit codes

Guys, the CB renewal edit is the one that has the Murad.
CBAFF works
BDCB works and takes more off than CBAFF

This is not a drill!💥

I’ve just noticed you receive one of two items listed in this set which has really put me off as I’d like one but not the other! Feels a bit cheeky.

Completely agree, esp as one if for curly hair so not useful at all for quite a lot of people (and possibly very useful for some!).

It's not like getting vanilla or cherry flavour lip balm, or even a shine spray vs a heat protect spray.

Oh lord. I appear to have bought a 4th…and the Discotheque discovery set. And the Chantecaille lipstick. And I bought a load of stuff yesterday. But haven’t yet purchased the You Beauty advent and I think overall this is a better spend of the same money. So girl math= kinda free.

user593 · 06/11/2026 11:18

I wasn’t planning on buying the Overnight Renewal Edit but I had £5 credit about to expire so got it for £31 😑

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 06/11/2026 11:25

@Fillybuster Gosh you appear to have tripped and fallen multiple times, are you alright?
I majorly fell over on Wednesday and bought the You advent with the summer edit GWP for free. Dreadful stuff.
Wait, there's a Discotheque discovery set?

Fillybuster · 06/11/2026 11:26

Forgot about account credit. Was just about to place order & remembered I had £10 to use. Win! I mean, I still spent £100 on things I really don’t need, but the Glow gift set will be fab for dd1 if I don’t keep to use myself, and I’m really excited about the Discotheque discovery set. Plus £10 voucher on future spend. And the lipstick looks awesome!

Bruises all over 😂😂😂 I’m so clumsy 🫣

Caggie09 · 06/11/2026 11:30

Got excited looking at the Kerastase Boots edit. But like PP says, its also put me off with the 1 of 2 items. Saved me money atleast😆

It’s ok, I just bought the CB edit 😂

Fillybuster · 06/11/2026 11:34

@DidILeaveTheGasOn Discotheque discovery set works with the BDCB code atm & £10 discovery voucher (whatever that means - I don’t really trust CB vouchers as you can never use them with anything useful - my birthday voucher just came through & doesn’t seem to work on anything)

Bugger I bought with CBAFF! But now you e listed those other things and a bigger discount t code I need to take another look 😭

luckily it’s my birthday next week, so birthday money will cover it, I’m sure 😳

LoveLabradors · 06/11/2026 12:07

Would you use the murad re sculpt with tret or would that be too much? Sheeplike 🐑 I duly trotted off to look at the renewal edit on CB baa 🐑 😆

LoveLabradors · 06/11/2026 12:09

I’m torn over the aventurine lipstick. I’ve tried it on and don’t know if it is a little bright and light for me. It’s gorgeous although I do wish the outer sparkles permeated the whole way through. I see chantecaille do returns if lightly tried for store credit.

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 06/11/2026 12:16

Thank you @Fillybuster ! I am somehow resisting. I'm still considering the Tocca set from yesterday...

Happy birthday month @Donsyb 🎉24 days left of excuses reasons to treat yoself!

Going to go hoover and ponder my next completely unnecessary purchase...

DidILeaveTheGasOn · 06/11/2026 12:17

@LoveLabradors I'm not sure if it'd be wise to use them together but I'm not sure.

Fillybuster · 06/11/2026 12:17

Do the sparkles not run through the whole lipstick? I assumed they did. I usually go dark cherry colours, thought it would make a nice change to go a bit brighter for parties. Might need to check it out in real life next week then before opening. Even with 25% discount that isn’t a cheap lipstick!

JoRaRaRa · 06/11/2026 12:23

I love the lipstick, I wore it to go shopping the other day 🤣

LoveLabradors · 06/11/2026 12:29

@Fillybuster the outer sparkles are much more prominent. I do appreciate sparkle levels are a specialist problem to have 🤣. Possibly I need to get out more. @JoRaRaRa i love that you elevated your shopping trip! Despite swearing off red lipstick I almost wonder if the LE ruby mimetic might have been better for me as dark and very cool red.
