New thread because we can't stop chit-chatting and failing our low buy resolutions.

Everyone welcome to join in, new and old alike. This thread is a bad influence zone though so be warned all who enter! 😂

I had a RAOK message from Face the Future and was a spin the wheel, I got a free product and had a choice of the following, I chose Dr Levy and only paid postage.

I didn't get the email, but just logged on to the FtF site and was able to spin the wheel. I also went for the Fire and Ice and free delivery.

Thanks for that. I was also able to spin the wheel but just got the measley 10% off code. Clearly not my day.

Come sit with me. We didn't need any of it. 😂

Well if it makes any difference I didn't get free delivery like @keepincool 😂

I used the Lancome Idole Cafe Crush palette from the holiday set today. The shadows are beautiful, applied really well, lasted really well and minimal creasing many hours later (which can be an issue with my eyes). I've enjoyed so much stuff from that holiday set, it really was one of my fave xmas purchases.

Ive yet to open mine 😂😍

IlovePond · 17/02/2026 20:28

I have just had a spin: 10% off 😹

I wonder if they are only giving the freebies to people who have bought something from them- which would be fair enough, I suppose.

Doglover73 · 17/02/2026 20:31

I got 15% off then 10%. 😂
Well done all of you that got a free gift. 🥰

IlovePond · 17/02/2026 20:33

Tried again with DH’s email - got 5% off 😹😹😹

JoRaRaRa · 17/02/2026 20:34

I managed to spin the wheel, got the free gift and also picked the Dr Levy snow set. I didn't get free delivery though.

Don’t play the lottery this week! 😀

JoRaRaRa · 17/02/2026 20:36

It asked me for my skin type, I picked combination, I wonder if that's helps it decide? 🤣

Fillybuster · 17/02/2026 20:46

Very tempted by the CB edit. Does anyone have any discount codes? Also happy to use a referral code if you want to DM me as (shockingly!!) I appear not to have my own account on there.

I picked normal and also didn’t get free postage but more than happy to pay £3.99 for the product.

I am another fan of the Lancôme palette from the Christmas box, it blends really well and lasts all day.
HanBeauty101 has a great review on YouTube and some looks using it.

Well if it makes any difference I didn't get free delivery like @keepincool 😂

I did donate £5 to the melanoma charity at checkout - not sure why it felt cheeky to accept the free gift and free delivery but it did. Probably something to do with British-ness 😄

IlovePond · 17/02/2026 21:01

@SheilaFentiman 😹

@JoRaRaRa - I picked mature with my email and don’t know for DH, (because he doesn’t 😹)

Has anyone who isn’t signed up with FTF/bought from them got a freebie? (To disprove my theory that they are restricting these to existing customers.)

On a related note: Who on earth is going to bother trawling through the site as a new customer for 5% off - it’s a pointless offer, imo!

IlovePond · 17/02/2026 21:02

That’s a good thing for them to offer as an option @keepincool

Edited

I've bought quite a bit so I don't think so.

I picked mature too. Maybe that was our mistake. 😂

@OvaHere - that’s a shame you didn’t get one - it is a nice idea.

I was just wondering if they had a way of making sure that only existing customers were in with a chance of getting a freebie, with potential newbies like me only being offered 10% or 5% off instead. DH muttered something about parameters and algorithms but I just heard white noise, (I think he meant it was possible to do that 😹)

IlovePond · 17/02/2026 21:11

@OvaHere - maybe that was it 🙀🙀🙀

keepincool · 17/02/2026 21:18

I chose normal - i didn't spot the 'mature' option.

I just went back to spin again - it landed on the freebie when I chose 'normal' again. When i chose 'mature' it landed on the 5% off offer 🤨

I wasn't able to get another freebie though - they have tighter controls than the Perfume Society 😁

I only had the 10% too. Not my lucky day either.

BlueLimes · 17/02/2026 21:19

I’ll attempt and say combination even though I’ve nature skin.

BlueLimes · 17/02/2026 21:22

Measly 10%

Thelifeofawife · 17/02/2026 23:18

Well I bought 3 boxes off them and still got the 10% discount, so I don’t think they are just specifically choosing existing customers.
I put normal skin type
