Free Charlotte Tilbury eye makeup service and free mini mascara!

[Arlanymor]

PSA! I'm in Cardiff for work on Friday and I have a bit of time to kill because I am letting the train take the strain, rather than driving and thought I might pop into John Lewis and have a mooch around the beauty counters because I'm in need of a bit of inspiration to update my look, given I am a poor old perimess at the moment! And when looking up what concessions they have I found this on their website...

NEW EXAGGER‑EYES SERVICE
Turn up the drama with our complimentary 30‑minute Exagger-Eyes makeup appointment (usually £35).

Scribble, swipe and smudge with our NEW! Exagger-Eyes Eyeshadow Sticks learning to level up your eyeshadow like a pro, then perfect the rest of your complexion with trusted guidance from our Beauty Experts. You’ll also receive a complimentary sample of our iconic Exagger-Eyes Mascara whilst stocks last. Limited time only.

Book now to secure your appointment ahead of launch while we still have spaces. No purchase necessary.

I 100% do NOT work for JL or CT! This is NOT an advertisement, just a public service announcement as I just felt so lucky to come across it and bag the only appointment they have left on that day (unfortunately it's before I meet my boss for a 1:1 so I will take some face wipes with me in case they make me look REALLY exotic!) I like free things and I like free things with free gifts even more! Just posting in case anyone else can take advantage!

Yes I said in my post that I had!

I've had appointments with CT before when I lived in London and they weren't anything like an intense sales pitch. Hope they haven't changed in that respect.

The only other way to get a sample of the mascara is by buying from their online store or purchasing a travel size version. Both involve purchases - the session is free and so is the sample. Plus in my mind I am going to float away with lovely smoky eyes that haven't been inexpertly applied like me and my panda tendencies.

Yes, I'm obviously delirious about it.

I'd rather be happy about a sample product than find joy in being abundantly rude to people you don't know online. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Perfectly calm - if you don't like that character trait being pointed out to you then maybe work on improving it?!

Oh dear, you've gone from the thread. If you happen to pop back I had a full face of make up done in the end - completely free by a lovely person called Ellis and we had a big old chat about life, the universe and everything. No hard sell. Walked away with a nice natural look with sparkly eyes and free samples.
