Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD TEN

[OvaHere]

We set a record with the last thread. Just 2 weeks from start to finish!!!!

So here's the new one and we're now in double digits.

As always everyone is welcome to join even if you've just been lurking, but like those kids on the back of the school bus your Mum warned you about, we are a bad influence.... 😈

Just sorted mine out. It actually fits on my bathroom window sill so rather than using it for hair products as I intended I've put all my daily products in it.

Was just thinking I could now do with another as I still have the hair product in a cardboard box issue. 😂

Also in case it helps anyone the divider in the bottom shelf lifts out which makes it a bit more useable for bigger products. Was hoping the lipstick/brush section would remove but it doesn't seem to and I daren't pull too hard.

It seems to be out of stock every time I look 🤦🏻‍♀️

I need the fairy and the other one to sell out of the gwps so I can sell the one I got from CB 🤣 it did sell, and then the lady cancelled as she could get a better deal, so now I'm stuck with it, even though I've bought 3 more 🙈 How many have they acquired? It's going on and on and on and on 😮‍💨

Has anyone bought the Glossybox Mother’s Day box? Just seen an unboxing on You Tube and it looks good value for £45. There is a full size Commodity Juice fragrance, 2 travel sized fragrances, a candle and a big ESPA reed diffuser.

Same here!
maybe it’s a sign that we don’t NEED it!

Where do you think they are getting all these gwps from?! 🤔

I've just bought one from "The Fairy" £24. Can I ask, will things be sealed? I'm a bit precious about things but the fact they have SO many - how?!- makes me feel better.

They've been selling that other GWP for months, always replacing when it gets sold, so I'm not sure they ever will!

@JoRaRaRa I need them to sell out so I can stop buying them myself . I am now on 3 GWPS plus the one in December . And this will be my fourth Vinted purchase in 3 days . It is going to be an embarrassing trip to the local evri pick up shop
@pinkchampagne1 i got the Glossybox Mother’s Day box MUM5 brings it down to £40 . I am a sucker for a reed diffuser and candle . Also it is a real win if you like Commodity Juice , I thought is was great value for what you get

I bought that. I thought it was good value and I like all the fragrances which is a bonus. I love the Commodity Juice so it was worth it for that for me.

Re: Glossybox

Quidco seem to be offering 4.25% c/b.

GB subscribers get £8 off, so £37.

The Commodity Milk personal that I got in the CB fragrance stocking has really grown on me, but I have never smelled the Juice perfume. I’m reluctant to go for it without knowing what it’s like as I am fussy about perfume.

It’s such a good deal, though!

Well at first, I just assumed they worked there and had slipped a few under their jackets. But they must've sold at least 4 or 5 big warehouse boxes of them. I wonder if they've actually come off the back of a lorry. Anyway, it's ruining my plans and sales so I'm no longer happy with our little gwp fairy 😭🤣

😳 Oooh mann!! Does anyone know if they're on ebay? I might need to go try to sell on there instead.

It's possible it's overstock, as in CB made an order error. Say they meant to order 1000 units but ordered 2000 so shifted some by auction.

I've seen LF beauty bags sold here before in bulk, although not as many as this and they're always old stock.

Still seems odd though as it's current stock.

WARNING: Before anyone gets overexcited at that link not talking about you at all JoRaRaRa it's all sold as seen, nothing is verified as genuine and the site adds a hefty commission. I've never bought anything but my friend has. She's had a few great things and some absolute shite. 😂

It's very sweet. Imagine a sugary, citrusy, fruit cocktail.

Not sure whether that would be your sort of thing?

It's a sweet, fruity, floral sort of scent. It's probably more suited to summer than now. Unfortunately if you did order, you can't smell it without opening it as its cellophane wrapped.

I once bought a bulk load of beauty blender sponges, mini bb sponges and soap cleaning kits off John Pye for a bargain price years ago. I'd forgotten all about it and probably shouldn't be reminded!

I've been tempted sometimes but people often get into a bidding war at the end and lose their heads like eBay 20 years ago. 😂When you factor in fees, high postage and zero returns policy it mostly isn't worth it.

Beauty stuff on JP goes for far too much. I've got some bargains, my bedroom light iirc from JL has an RRP of £375 paid £30 max and thankfully all good. But sometimes prices are stupid and there's no guarantees the item even works.
They do seem to frequently have shark masks.

I wouldn't trust the Shark masks to work. Friend bought 2 kitchen appliances and neither worked. They get around the distance selling rules by having a viewing day for every auction. Of course unless you live nearby you're not going to view at which point it's final sale on whatever you bought.

I only once tried to to bid for something, a bottle of expensive perfume but dropped out when it was clear it was going to go for silly money. In the end whoever bought it could have paid less at Harrods.

She now has another one listed! 🥺

I think I will give the mask a try as it has really good reviews. Not sure about the primer as scared it will make me look orange 😆

The gwp is app only, it is still working for me along with double points. Just wish the VBB Orchid eye palette was in stock but isn’t.

Of course. I forgot that.

I have never smelt the Commodity Juice. The only fragrance that I am familiar with is the Floral Street one as it was in the M&S beauty bag last year.

It does look a lovely collection of products and is very good value so I am tempted, especially with the extra discount. I really don’t need more fragrances though!
