Good things from good people to tell you about that are happening NOW
A little Black Friday but from small sources, this is a quick and easy list of good things I already know / have / love / use on repeat.
Hi!
This is a quick-n-easy to digest little list of some GOOD THINGS (from good people) I just wanted to tell you about right now. Yes, some of them are discounts (not all of them) but only on small brands or things I actually use / wear / recommend 😊
— Catch Rhys *SAMPLE SALE* TODAY 12pm! B ready! My favourite silver and gold hoops (they’re all I wear). They never do discounts so this is a proper one off treat.
The sample sale will be through their Instagram stories, follow them now @catchrhys for details (and I’ve linked Catch’s site on the image below, just click the image).
— Vieve and REFY both 20% off | Two of my most used beauty brands. I’ve told you about both of them before in here, recommending the products I’ve tried / use repeatedly.
Vieve - always go for the Skin Nova, mostly what I wear on my face daily now instead of make-up.
REFY - I love the Brow Tint, the Lash Sculpt Mascara and the Lip Gloss (feels nourishing, not sticky!). And I am tempted to try the Skin Trio: a 3-in-1 SPF 50 to protect, hydrate and brighten (just to add, I’m not a sales rep for Refy 😂).
— Co-op Les Pionniers Champagne Brut £20.50 | I’ve seen from a few reviews now (my sources mostly being The Guardian and Andy Pincott @affordablewinehunter) that this is the champagne that’s come out on top from various blind taste tests, and it’s the affordable option. Hallelujah!
— The SLOW LOVE up to 35% off | Their site closed yesterday and went live again at midnight with the discounts, so make it FAST LOVE! The discount is for ONE DAY ONLY, pieces will go quick! I’ve got my eye on one of the knit tanks.
*Also! Slow Love news ON THIS (below) - COMING BACK VERY SOON! Not included in their discount day, as it’s out of stock right now… and in even higher demand since it featured in episode two of Bad Sisters Season 2 recently, on the gawjus Becka.
(I especially love that it featured in the ‘I was just looking for something to wipe my fanny with’ scene 😂)
— Charlotte Simone Winter Drop | This went live 8pm Wednesday and ends Wednesday 4th December, the drop then closes and that’s it, they’re gone, forever! Some have sold out (within hours!) but some of my favourites are still available.
*I LOVE this drop method from Charlotte - it’s such a good idea for businesses and really works for me 😂 I get ridiculously excited! Which is the point I know, but it works.
And I’m getting even more excited waiting for my order (they don’t ship until the drop has closed), absence makes the heart grow fonder / the suspense is killing me and all that! I went for…
And this was a close second, which is still in stock… and I still can’t stop thinking about. It’s the furry hood!!
— UK LASH up to 40% off | I’ve raved to you about the Eyebrow and Eyelash Serum in here before, they both really do work!
*I took a break from the eyebrow serum for about 3 months - just to see what happened - nothing at first, then suddenly I noticed the difference, as if overnight I’d reverted back to thin fallow brows (it was a sad / shock horror moment in the mirror). Looks like I’ll B buying this stuff for life.
Anyway! They’re both so good I’ve now ordered the Hair Growth Serum to try, since it was 30% off (and my hair does not grow past just above shoulder length. I shall report back in due course!).
— Réalisation Par | £50 off when you spend over £150. Realistically, everything from this brand is over £150, so you’re going to get the £50 quid off! I think this is a nice way to do it, feels like you’re actually getting a voucher from the brand. Ends Sunday.
— Natalie Savage Large Lobster Print (60 x 90cm) | Does anyone else remember this from last year? They sold out in hours… but it’s back! A limited edition run of 250 that just launched this week, expect them to scuttle off fast.
THOUGHT OF THE DAY - I just read from
‘If you didn’t need it or want it full price then LOOK AWAY’.Very good advice! DO take this on board, I genuinely am.
If you didn’t already have something in mind there’s too much out there on discounts everywhere to bother looking at anyway. Well, without wasting days of your life and then stressfully exclaiming ‘WHY DO I NEVER HAVE ANY TIME’ (not speaking from experience here at all… cough, cough).
That’s why I’ve given you just a few bits I genuinely know / love / use / think are worth it from brands that rarely do discounts / are small / independent brands ❤️
But, allow me to leave you with this as I really, really, do want it! And it’s practical…
— Rowing Blazers | 40% off sitewide (auto applies at checkout). A brand I’ve always loved, their knits are are so fun, and so… me!
Plus, they’re a classic, a brand that’s been around years, a piece of fashion history… you may recognise that Princess Di red sheep jumper, no? Well, I bring you the upgrade, the warm and wonderful red sheep fleece!
I also do really like this one… but remember ‘If you didn’t need it or want it full price then LOOK AWAY’.
And, did you know Rowing Blazers just done a collab with La Veste?
Let’s leave it there. Stay calm, shop sensibly and shop small where you can 😊
Bye for now! Back with my own SAMPLE SALE next week if you fancy a little preloved bargain instead. Look out @studio_b_fashion for details next week (I think I’ll do it on Wednesday).
Happy weekend, who’s getting the tree up? B x
