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. 😊

Oh thanks @trying29, I hadn’t realised they weren’t on vinted any more. Did they never get back on after all the pro seller shenanigans?! I’d be really grateful if someone could let me know how to join the WhatsApp group, in the same way I need more blush products I need a cult GWP 🙈

@Easilyinfluenced I’ve sent you a link to the WhatsApp community via PM.

Elemis Cleansing Balm Collection 5 x 20g on Elemis website for £50. I’m tempted.

There’s also a GWP worth £97 with a £145 spend but the AC is not included.

That set is available on other sites. I think you will be able to pick it up from Sephora etc. with a discount very shortly.

I know this because I added it to my Sephora wishlist earlier ahead of the sale.

Now LE Spinel has worn off and it’s just the glitter left behind it’s very pretty 😅 the glittery Sarah Creal lip glosses did look nice today… 🙃

LOL anyone else think the ‘54 sold this week’ we’re all sold to people in this group? 😂

Has anyone else tried the Simihaze lipstick (shade Windburn) that was in the SNK make up gwp a few weeks ago?

I stuck it in drawer intending to try it at some point which happened to be this afternoon. The shade is beautiful and the formula exactly the type of creamy matte I love. Good staying power too.

I'll admit I prejudged due to the packaging not really being my vibe but the product is lovely.

There's a few on Vinted fairly cheap in that shade (and a few in Moonblade which must have been a different edit/gwp).

Just in case anyone goes Vinted hunting the shade Windburn is quite a deep raspberry - imo it's much darker than the photo example shown on the SNK product listing.

@Cyclingmummy1 Sounds like a good, if expensive, day. Please post back when you’ve tried out the YSL foundation. I’ve just bought a Dior one to try but would be interested to know about the YSL as I like a lot of their products.
Also, if the PDM is Althair and you’re looking to shift it please let me know (I can’t tell if it’s that one or the similar named one).

Seeing your Lancôme set has just reminded me that I’ve still not opened my holiday set from last year! 😬

@Donsyb I’d bet money on it 🤣 It would have been 55 if I’d have decided which shade I wanted when I looked yesterday 🤣🤣

Talking of the SC eye brightener. I didn't put it on today, instead I put on the HG concealer (trying to pan it) which previously was a favourite and I can really see the difference. The SC is so good.

Thanks to this storm I haven't left the house so it doesn't really matter. Also why I've tried out several lipsticks that have been waiting for my attention. As well as the Simihaze this morning I put on the Lisa E balm in Epanoui. I got this in an edit ages ago and never tried it. 😳Also a lovely formula and shade, reminds me of the Dior Addict balms.

@trying29 Could you please message me the fairy's details as well? Thank you!!

It was that one @Thelifeofawife and I've already sold it on Vinted. Sorry! I'll remember for next time.

@Cyclingmummy1 Oh no, what a shame. I’ll keep an eye out, maybe someone else who’s been to the event will list another one

There were a couple of others on Vinted @Thelifeofawife but mine was cheaper 😆

That sounds just my look 😅 I can’t seem to find any, the search is mainly flooded with delina and Layton (and the odd Althair in FS), despite me sorting by relevance.
It actually turned DS wrist orange when he tested it in Harrods but he still wants to give it a proper try, along with Layton

I've got one. I've PM'd you.

Has anyone tried Wonderskin lip stain? I’m tempted but realistically believe it won’t last for the thin-lip reasons I mentioned a couple of days ago.

Only on my hand and it did last all blinking day on there!

(note to self - don’t test cosmetics on the way into work!)

I have seen mention of "the fairy" on these threads loads of times, but i cant figure out what it means -could someone enlighten me please?

Thank you. I’ll keep an eye out 😊

@OvaHere I found it on Cult Beauty and BFCB takes it to £40.

The Space NK new gwp is available on the app and it doesn’t work with the advents.

Ohh, grr!

Isn't this a lovely group?

I would also like to know about this! I’m quite keen on getting the CB GWP but ai think only because I’m annoyed I missed out on it by having already bought the advent calendar!
