What’s on your wishlist?
I’ve always wanted to try a blow dry brush.
Same here but I don’t know if it would suit my thick curly hair…
A Dyson Airwrap or a GHD straightening brush would be on my wishlist. 🙏🏻
Nothing on my “must buy now” Wish List. I received a heap of emails this morning announcing Afterpay Day 2022. I’ve never heard of it until today.
Another sale day, there are so many during the year that it’s hard to keep track!
whats afterpay day?
You get the product prior to paying -A bit like layby but they send you the products and you can pay over a period of time after
No interest in any sales at the moment no matter what they are called. Many of our big bills arrive in the first few months of the year and house insurance has become the epitome of bill shock.
Very wise -sales are only good if you can afford at the time-There will always be more sales
Yes I agree, big bills due now and soon. E.g. Private medical. We usually pay for the year so a really big one.
Might check out the Oribe sale! Curious about the serum.
Worthwhile savings in this list.
Oooh some great bargains!
This is the first I’m hearing of Afterpay Day. I don’t use Afterpay – do I need to use it to access these sales? I prefer PayPal because I always pay in full – I don’t want to be lured into debt.
I am the same -If I can’t afford in now I prefer to do without.
Same for me, would prefer not to be in debt if I can avoid it.
No need to use it. I’ve never heard of it and do not need it. Did use the sales on huge cashback 40% off (on top of sales!) on lookfantastic tonight. Okatko made me do it haha
I think it’s just the name because I have purchased products on “Afterpay day sales” and I payed with PayPal
I have to agree with you. If I can’t pay for a transaction in full, then it’s not meant to be.
The blow dry brush looks good.
I am gobsmacked that the Byredo Black Saffron perfume costs $320! Now I’m intrigued to know what it smells like.
Yes that’s incredibly pricey! It might have to do with saffron which is one of the most expensive spices in the world.
Also wondering how saffron would smell in perfume! I’ve only ever used it in cooking
Have put in an order – who can resist?!
Will be checking out some of the other brands listed there too.
Revitanail oil is a great product and really nourishes your nails so this two step should be really good to try
Nothing atm on wishlist. Got new trainers, superb pair. Always wanting new haircare, but passing oribe for sure. Pricing does not make sense let’s be real.
So many products! I’ll have to take a look and see if there’s anything I want!
ok….caved in. Never heard of afterpay, but do like sales to stock up with regulars. Olaplex is never on good sale, so when Okatko posted in forums about 40% cashback on LookFantastic tonight… on top of 20% off sale…I got the Ola-s haha. And got another order, new fancy bristle brush as my old one is gone. 30% plus 40% off, well…that was good.
Can’t comment again. Forums problematic too. But did some damage haha
Don’t need anything at the moment.
I just bought lots at Kiehl’s, they have some good deals on at the moment.
So much I want to buy but don’t really need. I like to hoard particular products when on sale. So tempted.
I love Boost Lab.
Ray Jay needs to remind herself that she doesn’t need anything else and she is on a low buy.
Actually the shaver shop deals are really good
they have some great things!!
Haven’t tried afterpay and prob. won’t. Good to not get too far in debt.
I totally agree -I work on the principle that if you can’t afford it you can’t have it
I agree, always use my credit card and pay the whole amount off every month.
Some great buys, probably a good thing that I missed the sales! 🙂
Some great products
The Circa candles are a nice investment and a serum!
Ohhh I can see a few that I’d like on my wishlist but the Armani foundation is standing out!
Adore Beauty have some great deals at the moment with this sale!
Ooooh, love deals! X
Have had one to many emails promoting Afterpay sales today but I guess that’s to be expected.
No list here, really don’t need anything for now.
My beauty cupboard is stocked.
So much temptation 😀
I did buy myself some clothes and jewellery but no skincare or beauty products. It takes me forever to go through them!
Nothing left on my wishlist. Very interesting fact
finally sephora has a sale lol
Nothing that I want and as for Afterpay (BNPL), it’s a no from me.
afterpay is a no for me too -this is a easy way to get too much debt
Very tempted by the Cloud Nine bargain.
I really want to try out the IT Cosmetics CC cream – I’ve heard such good things about it!
That Olaplex bonding oil is overporuced at Oz Hair and Beauty, i looked and 4 other having places have it at $44!!!!!!
Giorgio Armani also have 20% off sitewide on their site
That’s great to know SAE! Thankyou!!
I might have to visit Adore Beauty!!
I would love Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair
I used it when I got it on a trial. It was lovely but expensive
Some great bargains that’s for sure unfortunately I don’t like to use Afterpay at all. Prefer to pay for stuff outright, I remember that Stores would allow you to Lay-by so you had to pay for it in installments but they don’t do this anymore.
The Estee Lauder GWP looks good.
Some tempting deals, especially the ANR!
Never heard of Afterpay day until I got the BeautyHeaven email announcing it!! 😂 Nothing worth spending money on in the list above as far as I’m concerned. Better deals to be had on Black Friday sales. I can wait!
