Beauty chat - freebies/gifts with purchase/offers THREAD TWENTY TWO

[OvaHere]

New thread. Welcome back everyone. It's taken a while to get through the last due to how busy the advent threads have been.

All the holiday releases are coming out now and Black Friday is looming. So take a seat and buckle up. 😊

I have never been so may not be the best person to answer and some of the others may be able to provide more info.

Defo worth it especially if you get a good prize in the hook the duck ! ( my Paula’s choice collagen 50ml worth £49 )
and if you are going to spend £70 anyway ( no brainer for us lot ) you get 6 deluxe minis instead of 5.

I'd love to go to one of these. All the locations require quite a lengthy trip unfortunately. Newcastle or Chester is doable but still a full day out.

Why did they ban you? I don’t think I have ever heard of an online shop banning someone before.

Maybe because I'm a gold member? The free gift came with a £40+ spend and was added to my basket automatically. It's a bit of a cheeky one trying to get people to sign up to a Symprove (gut health drink) trial. The offer was emailed to me, but I already have a 3 month supply of Symprove drinks from a QVC offer so binned the email.

Thanks for the new thread @OvaHere, I see I missed all the excitement of the CB edit releases today. I went back to my home city to see my mum so missed the code unfortunately so sulking slightly before I decide which one I want. Im sure I'll be over it by tomorrow 😅

I broke for the Pelegrims set despite buying two Luminous Skin edits 😑 I’m really excited to try the Pelegrims though!

Ha ha I remember that well.. I was lucky and got mine just before they realised. Ended up buying loads of those boxes at half price later on, they were an absolute steal. Think it put TPS under though as they have sunk without a trace ..

There were a few of us affected, they had a poorly worded promotion and felt we had abused their loyalty programme and closed people’s accounts, it was a few months back now.

I was banned a couple of years ago but about a year later I checked my account with a test purchase and it was fine so it's not necessarily permanent.

I need foundation so that'll be £40ish and I'm sure I can find something else to buy 😆

Did you see what else was in the hook a duck?

You can’t see , there are 3 levels of prizes. It’s like a big bin with shredded tissue and the assistant brings it out for you so you can’t cheat 🤪
Mine was the middle level. I saw someone get some kind of full size perfume in the top level .
someone got a primer looked full size , and I saw a Sunday Riley tidal that was either middle or top.
you can’t see what’s underneath your duck so it’s pure chance

@MrsBnow12 that sounds really annoying and unfair on you.
