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

[OvaHere]

Time for another thread. Spring and Summer releases are trickling out to tempt us AND the advent calendar waitlists are appearing...hope you are all feeling suitably Christmassy. 😂

Thanks everyone who continues to contribute to the chatter and welcome to any newbies who want to join in.

Yes, definitely, without looking like I’m wearing bronzer or being too orange. It’s very natural and seems to have a little bit of a blurring effect on me.

I'm not doing well in the beauty dept so far on my birthday trip. So far I've just picked up the JL reward Chanel sample and went to a Lumene pop up at Westfield and won a couple of mini products on Spin the Wheel.

I have bought some clothes I'm pleased with though.

Have no idea what I might get for the Harrods gwp. There's not a lot I'm really coveting at the moment which is typical. I keeping telling myself that skipping it is an option. 😂

I'm going to my dad's at the weekend so might pop into H beauty. I don't need anything at all. I've never had a Harrods gwp.

Latest in Beauty highly rated and editor approved Get the gloss box for £40 using code CRAZY20

lots of full sizes seems a great deal to me! Apparently worth £267

There’s some more Gucci Beauty on TK Maxx if anyone is interested. More colours of the tinted moisturiser and another highlighter.

i was hoping to wake up to completing my Harrods order but still nothing. Maybe the GW will show at 9? 2 years ago I had awful issues trying to get the gwp to show. It took a week of IT support to sort it out so hoping it’s not another IT issue.

Everything in my basket has a banner saying 'exclusive complimentary gift' above it, but it already did yesterday, and no gift is being added. Fingers crossed it will be there after 9am

Yesterday I had a clarins eye serum added as a gwp to my Harrods basket, today, it's been taken off and nothing added on as yet. But I'm not ready now anyway 🤣

Hi @Lonely12 , if you mean the Style korean box it might be this one. They are great value but I'm now on a korean beauty ban as I've purchased more boxes from SK than I'll ever use

Harrods gwp is live but it will not allow me to process checkout because it says the GWP can’t be shipped to my country which is set as U.K.

edited to ask if anyone else is having issues?

I was just coming on to ask the same thing as I am also getting the same message

Very very tempted by the boots SPF box … I think a pp mentioned they bagged it for £39.20 but it’s priced at £39 … is there a code does anyone know? I’ve got loads of points from the recycling scheme so I could effectively get it for free at that reduced price 😁

It says that the Harrods gwp has sold out – I’m bloody furious as I was online on the door of 9 am – also getting the same can’t be shipped to your country message. They must’ve been giving away about four bags. 😡

I’ve tried via the app and on a desktop and it’s the same message. I’ve messaged them but it says 72 hours to respond.🤷‍♀️

My FtF 'Glow on the Go' pre-order arrived this morning, very pleased with it (hydration sachet was the little sample freebie).

I use Niod fractionated eye concentrate, but am halfway through my only bottle, so very interested to compare it with the MZ eye serum before ordering any more.

I wonder if they are trying to sort out the tech issues and they’ve selected the sold out option whilst they deal with it. I really doubt they would have sold out already. They usually have them for a couple of weeks.

It does seem weird – if they genuinely have sold out then it’s not exactly a way to attract loyal customers, which is what GWP is all about

There was an offer for 22% off beauty that I used, but I think it must have ended yesterday 🙁

I’m getting the same error message from Harrods re shipping to my country (UK).
I’ll try again later, if it’s sold out by then it wasn’t meant to be

Same for me with Harrods. I'll be disappointed if I can't get it but my bank balance will be happy!

That’s what I was thinking 😅 There is probably only half of my basket that I actually need/have wanted for ages, the rest was to bulk up the order

Sounds like a technical glitch. They usually have loads. I got one last year in store after it had been out for over a week and there was plenty.

I'm heading there today but still don't actually know if I will buy anything. Top contender is probably VB Reverie but I will see what magic the store holds! 😄

@OvaHere I was contemplating whether to do an online Harrods order or visit in store over the weekend. Note that the T&Cs say if buying in store at least one item needs to be skincare. This has put me off going to the store as I was intending to buy perfume and make-up rather than skincare.

Very annoying technical glitch online - but they can’t be selling out because nobody can do an order!

That's annoying. I'm sure I got last years in store only buying perfume unless I tacked on a cheapy skincare Item I've forgotten about.
