    hi!
    sorry to repeat but desperate to know, does anyone know if the prices online are the same instore? i want a benefit box set which has £8 off! :D
    xx

    i think there's a glitch on .com on one of these today - the one with the make up bag on. I think it's taking off the 1/3 twice. won't say too much as Mr B will be watching;)
    :grin: Save me from spending...

  • It was £38.50 - it's going through at £17 odd...so it is taking 1/3 off twice.:D:D:D

    Something to do with the VAT, perhaps?

    No the difference is too much - I wonder which price it was originally the £25 or £38??

    The £38.50 was the original price, and even then the contents were worth about £10 dearer if you bought the items individually so the set was good value even then. It was reduced by a third yesterday when i checked to the £25 price, and now seems to be reduced by a third again. HTH x

  • Hi, on my .com account there is a generic error showing, do you know if i set up a new account (using a different email) whether i could remove my AC from the old account and add it to my new account?? would this be allowed?? :confused:

    I highly recommend this makeup bag-I bought this full price last month :eek:
    It's definately worth buying for £17ish.The bag is a good size and can be wiped clean I love it.The bag alone is worth more than this price.

    Just back from my bootsing session
    exchanged a perfume set for the ootw as it was out of stock in my store yesterday and paid £10 more towards it-I get the gwp and friend will love her present.
    Also got 2 lancome juicy tube sets for £24.96 and the aqua fusion lipbalm for £14.50.Used a 750points coupon and also got 1000points for buying 3items.
    got 2 jemma kidd makeup wipes aswell and used 400points acm.Got about £26 in points back which the then spent on some urbun decay eyeliners and a katemoss set for sis.:j
    Love can tame the wildest

    I rang CS this week about my account. Everytime I tried to view My Basket up came the Generic Error message. I was told many people had rung with the same problem, and that they were working on it.

    CS suggested I set up a new account using a differing email address.

    I did this, but guess what happened? When I next logged into my 'old' account, the Generic Error thingy had cleared!
  • For those looking at the benefit stuff this on Asos looks great for the price. A few other sale items too, worth having a look if you like the stuff. I'm really tempted but have too many mascaras and don't know if the foundation would suit me.
    Edit: I think there's just one left as when I added it to my basket it showed OOS but I emptied it and it's back
