Festive greetings to all and everyone. We're so close! I've just got a few last minute bits of wrapping to go and I hope everything is all bought. The Christmas food shop is arriving on Tuesday, the gingerbread house is being baked tomorrow and cinnamon buns are on my list of things to make before the week is out! Massive Christmas wishes to each and every one of you.

Oooh! What did you say to them??

Just that it wasn’t working and sent screenshots through live chat - it had been applied but not removed from total. Confirmed I hadn’t used any other codes. They had me put the transaction through then they adjusted the final
price, took a few days

I know they’ve had mixed reviews for their mystery boxes, but Bridal Beauty Co are doing a Lumene giveaway at the moment, 2x full size glow serums for the price of postage only- initially looks a good deal

Did anyone order this?

I have just had email to say that it is only 8ml, if you ordered it, are you aware it is only a sample size. I must of missed this, I was of the impression it was full size.

It's still not too bad a deal for £5 IMO. I'm not sure how I keep it was 2*8ml, though, as there's not much of a description. They ould do a lot better to make it clear what the deal actually is, and what size the products are.

The 8ml sells for £11.50ish on Amazon, and you get two, so it's 16ml (£23 worth). 30ml is over £50 in various places, inc M&S and JL.

Nah, I feel like I have been scammed 😔

That's fair enough. I just saw the email that gives you the option to cancel- you could always cancel in response to that? I'm assuming all orderers were sent it (mine went to spam).

Isn’t lumene always on boots £10 Tuesday? They have the Nordic bloom one on there today

O dear, I’m sorry if I’ve given the wrong impression from my post, I too had expected this was full size from the messaging on email and site. Im still happy to get two for £5, but in your shoes I would 100% attempt to cancel if you are disappointed.

I’m not blaming you @MandyAndLola

i was of the impression it was 2 full size bottles, not 2 x 8 ml bottles.

to get an email saying “ we are a little embarrassed, there was a misprint”

As a result I was missold this deal!

I’ve just checked my emails and you are right, they definitely said ‘full-size’! That is shoddy from them. I won’t order from them again.

I can’t remember who was saying their cashback with TCB from Hearst Magazines had been declined but I put in a claim and it was paid out today.

FurForksSake · 15/01/2026 12:02

@Fuckingfuckssakeit was me! I’ll check mine. Thanks.
