🎄 £15 Off Glossybox Advent Calendar

Okayyyy, this is my top Beauty Advent Calendar I’ve reviewed so far! It’s £85 and every single product in this calendar is useable and the price is brilliant too (and there’s a sneaky way you can get an extra £15 off).

There’s 29 products included worth £585, here’s the stand out ones for me:

• Iconic London Eyeshadow Palette (full size) - worth £45

• Medik8 Hydra8 B5 Serum (full size) - worth £45

• Spectrum 3 Piece Brush Set - worth £25

• Sweed Lash Lift Mascara - worth £22

• Pixi Lip Glow in Fleur (full size) - worth £14

Just those 5 products above are worth £151, and you still have another 24 products to unbox, so the calendar is fantastic value at £85! You can see everything else that’s included by tapping below.

⚡️ Get extra £15 off (wooo!)
If you add on a Glossybox beauty box subscription (£13.50 for 1 month or £12.50 for 12 months) you’ll get £15 off the Advent Calendar, making it only £70.

This is an amazing deal, because in the beauty box you’re going to get £50 worth of beauty products which you can keep for yourself or use it as a Christmas gift and that’s a present ticked off the list.

✈️ Free eSIM For Greece, Spain & Portugal

Are you travelling to Greece, Spain or Portugal soon? You can get a free eSIM with Airalo to save you money on data roaming costs.

What’s an eSIM, I hear you ask? It’s a digital SIM card that’s already installed in your smartphone (if you have a new-ish one) that allows you to activate mobile plans without using a physical SIM card, so they’re super handy to save money on roaming costs when travelling abroad.

Here’s the three free eSIM options from Airalo:

• Spain = 1GB for 1 day

• Greece = 100MB for 7 days

• Portugal = 500MB for 3 days

Now these data allowance as aren’t huge so they probably won’t last you very long, but they could be helpful for you as a backup. Simply tap below and click ‘How to get your free eSIM’ banner at the bottom (as shown in photo above) then click the destination.

£2.50 bonus: I actually just signed up for Airalo today and they have a refer a friend scheme. So if you enter referral code CHLOE2843 when signing up, you’ll get £2.50 off your first purchase and I’ll receive £2.50 too. So thanks if you use my code!

✨ Curel Face Mist

You know how every so often, you come across a product and think “HOW did I live without this?!” Well, that’s this Curel Deep Moisture Spray face mist for me.

I bought this in Boots £10 Tuesday a few weeks ago because I kept seeing beauty influencers rave about. And woweeeeee it’s worth the hype!

So I spray it between my skincare layers, after applying foundation and over the top of makeup throughout the day and my skin is soooo hydrated. Honestly I’m hooked haha.

The face mist is £19.50, but of course we won’t pay that. So here’s a deal stack I snapped up last night that I thought you’d like too…

1. Amazon has it on sale from £19.50 to £15.60

2. Choose ‘Subscribe and Save’ option to get it for £14.82

3. Then tick the ‘Apply 10% voucher on first Subscribe and Save’ to get it for only £13.26 - that’s a 32% saving!

I ordered 3 at this price so I’m stocked up for a while. 🤣

🧠 Question

I know a lot us find it hard to make friends as we get older, and I’m loving doing ‘in real life’ events so we can all get together and meet other people who love saving money.

So Beth (@budgetingmumofficial) and I are planning a fun Christmas wreath making event in the run up to Christmas (more details coming soon!). My previous events have been in Glasgow, and this time we’re going south of the border! So which of these cities would suit you best?

And that’s a wrap!

Woohoo you made it to the end! Are there any deals you’d like to see in next week’s newsletter? Send me a reply as I’d love to hear them!
