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

[OvaHere]

Sorry everyone! I didn't realise how near the end of the old thread we were.

What on earth have you all done with yourselves for the last few hours? 😂

As always everyone welcome to join in and hopefully this is the thread we see the first 'big' BAC reveal. 😍

@Addictedtobeauty sorry I meant to attach my invoice from my order so you can compare

Delurking to add info re the Oh My Cream GWP. I sent them an email yesterday as the GWP did not show in my Casa Lopez tote bag bundle order. I received this response today:
"Rest assured, your Goodie Bag will indeed be added to your package. Since it is a gift, it does not appear in the order summary or in the confirmation email, but the code SUMMER26 has been taken into account and it will be shipped with your order".

Mine has been dispatched, so I'll report back if the GWP doesn't arrive in my order.

Fingers crossed that all that of you that are still waiting will receive your GWP, and huge thanks to everyone who spots and posts brilliant bargains. I follow this thread more than is good for my bank balance!

Now going back into my shell 😊

@Bellablahhole thanks for posting. Would love you to stick around if you'd like to.

I'll be with you all in spirit at the sephora event 🤣♥️
Sounds amazing..please post pics of goody bag. ♥️

Thank you! I never have things to post but I love this thread. It's so lovely and very informative. I'm in my early 60's, my mother is in her 80's, my daughter is in her 30's and I have a teenage grandson (going through a bad skin phase, poor lad). So many skincare and makeup dilemmas that you lovely lot can help with.

Oh, I didn’t add a candle- I thought they added it. The email says ‘a small candle will be gifted to you with any purchase by entering the following unique code…’
so I ordered the scents and added the code.
hopefully CS help sort it out.
The trio of scents really are stunning - I can’t stop smelling my arm 😁.

Mine said a small candle will be gifted to you too but if you click on the link it takes you to a selection of candles for you to choose which one you like. I’m sure CS will be able to sort it out for you. The Diptyque one was my favourite birthday gift from all the beauty retailers.

I also forgot to say Happy Birthday!

Thanks @JoRaRaRa I got my JL reward eventually, although I swear I'd done all those things before. Can anyone tell me the actually username of the fairy or post a link to the make up gwp? I can't find it and I'm too irritable to carry on in this heat 😂

Not sure if something has happened as all the listings have gone and know they had issues before

I don't think I'll sign up for the Sephora event seeing as I bought a John Lewis event ticket today and have the Harrods Beach Club thing tomorrow - going for multiple goody bags already😅Speaking of which anyone that wanted to go to the Thurrock event ( Thurs- Sun) more tickets were released after the intial selling out.

Thanks @MrsBnow12 I presumed it was just me being daft

Thanks for the new thread @OvaHere
I love the mirror you've got to go with your vanity station.

Thanks @Beautyfox . The link in my email just takes me to the webpage for the Summer Water Garden range - ‘Explore the collection’ - not a candle page at all. I’m sure it will all get sorted in the end.

I’ve just had a look and every single message, notification and listing has gone. The Fairy has vanished!

I do hope they find a way back.

Do you think we will still get our orders?

thanks for the new thread @OvaHere

My order is still showing (soft focus edit) in my account and o can click on Ofairy from that- but all the listings are gone again. I’m sure we’ll get our orders. It will be the pro seller argument from Vinted again.

I’m gutted to have missed out on the soft focus edit!
I stalk this thread all of the time, but on a couple of occasions when I’ve been super busy, there’s been a great deal that I’ve missed out on (still sulking over the 40% off at CB! 😅)

So - I have now booked the H Beach thingy. Thanks @LightandBreezy

However, it doesn’t seem as generous as last year - I didn’t go but I remember something about being able to pick x number of items with purchase if you paid a bit extra for a different ticket.

This time you have to spend £100 to get a GWP on a bag.

I don’t think I should be spending £100 in H beauty 🙀

Reckon they have got banned for selling beauty items commercially - vinted don't like that, I've had to stop as I got a warning.

They will probably pop up again in another incarnation soon

@IlovePond I think that’s October every year. If you paid £15- you can spin a wheel thing - the products were a bit hit and miss - I got a dry shampoo. For a £60 spend and you could pick 6 samples - from memory - I had a Clarins mini lip oil, Elemis mini, hourglass mini mascara, there were perfume samples too.

The beach event - I don’t think you get to pick your products which is a shame. I might get an el nihilo fragrance so may as well go - not that I need another fragrance of course.

@LightandBreezy - please report back on tomorrow!

@JoRaRaRa - I seem to remember you going to the H Carnival- can you remember what was on offer?

Thanjs

What’s the Fairy’s user name please?

@ofairy1

I need to vent too, please!

I was so tempted by the Selfridges perfume edit discount that I ended up placing a huge order and buying the unlimited delivery package. Delivery came at the weekend but when I opened it yesterday morning it didn’t include the perfume edit!! I called their CS who promised to ‘investigate’ (I mean, I’m not sure what they are investigating….huge box of clothing, no edit in sight. How am I supposed to prove the non appearance of something?) and come back to me within 24 hours max,

Can you guess who I haven’t heard a peep from today by phone or email???

Selfridges are normally very good @Fillybuster - hopefully they’ll find you another perfume edit. Was it on the packing list?
