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.... 😈

I've just sent you a private message which might help with your fuchsia fizz search 🫣

Finally bought it 🩷

I got mine in a Cult Beauty box which in the circumstances made sense! But it was quite roughly taped.

Weirdly I just had a buyer do that too! First time ever.

Where are you seeing this @JoRaRaRa . I might be interested at £45

It was here. Says limited time only so looks like it's gone back to full price.

Oh wow! That really was a limited time 😳

I don't understand why they do that.

So Glossybox seemingly stopped shipping to NI too 🤦🏻‍♀️

I really hate Brexit 😭😭

They're playing games with us 🤔

😔

Someone just bought 11 CB bags from the fairy. £220 😮

Where did they get them all from , I’m so intrigued 🧐

How do you know/find out how many they sell?
Am I being dense 😂 ?

I can confirm it wasnt me 😂

I followed the seller. Every time he uploads I get sent a notification. I clicked through to the 11x one and it was a reserved item so obviously did a deal with someone.

😂

I'm assuming it's someone who will sell on themselves, probably as individual items.

I suspect she just changed her mind @JoRaRaRa It’s my own fault for not sitting on the refund request until my payment cleared. I will call eBay over the weekend if the payment doesn’t appear in my account. That will also give me a chance to see how much eBay have taken from my bank account-I haven’t been in this position before and I don’t like them being able to withdraw my money!

Oh, that’s clever! I am actually learning a huge amount on here. Thanks.

I saw that too. I wonder if they've got them to make up gifts or just to sell on. I feel like the hype around them must've moved on now? 🤔 I can't lie, I was tempted to buy a few to sell on but I thought about that guy with all those harrods calendars that weren't selling 🤣

They'd make good hen party gifts or something like that.

I can’t work out what these Vinted sellers are doing to get their hands on so much GWP stock. Nobody could be spending so much via multiple accounts to get so many GWP - they would have thousands of pounds of other stuff to shift.

I suppose it could be excess stock they have bought in bulk - maybe CB and LF, etc. offload excess stock to traders. That’s probably the most likely scenario but it seems weird for a current promotion.

It’s just as well it’s not stuff I want or else I would probably be buying multiple bags too! As it is, I am just an interested bargain bystander!

This might be the wrong place to ask but I trust your opinions more than all the paid reviews I can find! Does anyone have a micro current device, e.g. Ziip Halo/Nu Face? And if so how do you rate it?

I have the Foreo Bear 2. I think it does make my skin look better and it literally only takes 3 minutes out of your day. Disappointed that it hasn’t given me a full face lift though! 😆

I have a ziip halo @ElizabethG81 I like it, it does take dedication though. I probably use it around 4 times a week, it has some programmes which I really rate. The selling point for it is the 'microcurrent' which is supposed to (over time) support collagen production.

Unfortunately the downside for me has been a few run ins with customer service. I've actually had 6 devices since May last year, the first 2 I had the silver top started to lift really quickly, which is a common fault with some of the older ones. I was then sent one which clearly wasn't new, it came out of the box dirty, which was infuriating and a bit grim. They replaced that one and the fourth was fine. Then they brought out the ziip 2.0, billed as being developed as a more robust device following customer feedback. I was given one as a present over Christmas, which developed a fault within the first month. They refused to deal with me because I wasn't the person who purchased, and it took a lot of hassle to get them to replace it, although eventually they did. For various reasons the person who bought it just wasn't able to deal with it, but they had emailed ziip to explain it was given to me, and asked them to communicate with me. Ziip just ghosted me.

So, good product, but given it's a premium thing their customer service approach just isn't good. I hope the one I have now doesn't develop any faults as I have no confidence I'd even be able to get them to respond to me.
