Adding my order summary as couldn't figure out add above:

This is pretty much what I did except I was able to log into my existing account at the checkout stage after codes had been added and use my loyalty points off the purchase too.

XxTigerlilyxx · 30/09/2026 17:38

How do you get the free mystery box code please?

Oh that's odd, even using the email I used before it wouldn't let me keep the codes! Maybe I missed something.

I finally got it to work after much trial and error. Make sure you have your unique code for the free mystery box saved somewhere.
If you've ordered from Plouise before make sure you open the link in incognito mode and use a new email address.
Open this link first to add the Welcome Beauty Bundle to your cart without the discount.
Then add the Cheetah Micellar Water Magazine to your cart, again no discount yet. It may put a second one in your cart for free.
Then add anything else that brings your total over £50 (at least £10.05), I chose the beauty saver bundle, 3 items for £18. Your free gift should automatically apply now.
Click checkout, then add the code for the free mystery bag and add code TREAT for the free micellar water. If you have ordered Plouise before, make sure you use a new email and don't use the "Shop" checkout as it will recognise you through that too! It might ask you to verify shop details when you put your phone number in if you have a Shop account - don't verify as it will recognise you and remove the discounts.
Hope it works for you now! 🤞

Brilliant instructions thank you very much!!

Boho moon has 40% off for 24 hours with code Forty.

MerylSqueak · 30/09/2026 18:57

I remember in the past there's been some discussion of tablets you can write on. Can anyone recommend me an affordable and reliable one please?

FinallyGettingFree · 30/09/2026 18:57

Came on to post about BohoMoon but beaten to it! There are some real bargains to be had. Does anyone know if their items come in gift boxes?

Rach36912 · 30/09/2026 19:02

OneCoralHare · 30/09/2026 18:07

I accidentally bought your basket OneCoralHare! Note to self to be more careful when following links!

ExtraordinaryBush · 30/09/2026 19:08

My Baby Born order arrived, really pleased with it, the doll has beautiful hair - so my thanks to whoever spotted that!

Fireside10 · 30/09/2026 19:11

@InbetweenDreams @crikeycrumbsblimey thank you both I'll give those a go 😌

DressOrSkirt · 30/09/2026 19:30

juicyjellybaby · 30/09/2026 17:29

The code 10REDU also stacks for 10 percent off on plousie

This pushed me over the edge to make a second order using all the codes again + the 10% off and a different email address which also somehow had loyalty points.. Another free mystery bag, free bad bitch duo, free micellar water, 3 cosmetic paints in the 3 for €30...came out to €24 including shipping. And my order from yesterday has been dispatched!

Thank you, I've managed to make an order. It still took some time as it kept taking out items at the check out no idea why. I got it to work on the fourth try of these instructions 🙈
The link is great, I would guess that was my issue when i tried this morning, as I didn’t add the bag to cart. I'm not sure what caused the issues at check out tonight possibly the code 10REDU. You also can't use that code with any accrued credit.

fishfingersandchipsagain · 30/09/2026 19:42

OneCoralHare · 30/09/2026 18:07

Works on the £10 outlet items too.

(that might be 10 stocking fillers for me 😅)

kennythekangaroo · 30/09/2026 19:44

TabbyMoggi thanks for the brilliant instructions, I have caved on the plouise, looking forward to receiving it.

Thelifeofawife · 30/09/2026 19:45

@hugsandpugs Thanks for the amazing PLouise deal! And @juicyjellybaby for the extra discount 😃
And thank you to @TabbyMoggie for the super detailed breakdown 😃 (I would have given up before really trying without that)

I’m not even sure if my DSD and DNiece are still into this (they change up so quickly) but for that bargainous haul I was only too happy to take the chance! I don’t know whether to split the parcel up or just gift the whole lot to DSD as the outer box looks lovely too

GaslighterDenier · 30/09/2026 19:51

Just incase it helps anyone else, PLouise deal.

I incognito'd the website so it gave my the pop up for the mystery bag (£30 before the code), copied to code, added the mystery bag to my basket but not the discount code, alongside the micellar water and a shampoo and condition bundle (£20) this tipped me over £50 so it automatically added the free bad bitch lip duo.
Then checked out and added all the codes TREAT, code for the mystery bag that it gave you at the start and NEWBIE15
All this meant I've paid £17+£1 postage for 2 X micellar water, shampoo & conditioner bundle, mystery bag and the bad bitch lip duo 🎉🎉

Very happy with that!

GaslighterDenier · 30/09/2026 19:58

Sorry just seen @TabbyMoggie has given excellent instructions before me!

They don’t. I bought some earrings in the previous sale and they came on a piece of card in a cellophane wrapper.

Realfastfoodie · 30/09/2026 20:06

There are some lovely discounts in the Schuh sale. I’ve just bought myself a nice pair of adidas trainers and stacked it with Blue Light Card 8% off (which paid for the postage).

Hi, just a heads up that the Look Fantastic fragrance advent calendar has unexpectedly come back into stock: £150 or £128 for subscribers.

Might be a good choice for you @Cowsontheloose

sillygoof · 30/09/2026 20:27

How do you ‘incognito’ the p.Louise website? I can’t get a pop up with a code for the mystery bag?

Posywosey · 30/09/2026 20:27

Oh god. I have now succumbed to the Plouise deal. My 11 yead old niece is into make up and skincare atm - if I avoid the bad botch stuff, is that something she might be interested in?!

Possibly, could you ask her mum if she’s mentioned it before? 😊

I think it’s like a private webpage type of thing seperate from your normal browser - I don’t think I’ve explained this well 😆
