Update 22 April 10am: The halfpriceperfume site is struggling due to the heavy traffic demands. You should get through eventually or come back later and try again.

What's it about?


Discount cosmetics site halfpriceperfumes.co.uk is giving away a £10 Bourjois 3d lip gloss, when you pay £1.99 postage.

The lip gloss is 3d Lip Gloss in the colour ‘Fraise Pailette’ (a strawberry colour) .

How to grab

To get the lippy, simply go to halfprice perfumes and add the lip gloss your shopping cart. Then type mse-lip in the discount coupon box at checkout. All it will charge you is £1.99 for postage.

While the code says MSE, the site has no commercial relationship with halfpriceperfumes. We saw the deal in a magazine and asked if we could share the offer with MoneySavers. The company then set up another special code, so it could track where people were coming from.

Thanks to MoneySavers who've also posted this elsewhere on the fourm. We've started this new thread as we were given a special code.

Anything else to watch out for?

The offer closes May 10 2009 and is subject to availability. Only one lipgloss per household. If the above colour is unavailable, they will send suitable replacement.

    Hi everyone, I've managed to find a link that has worked for me this morning, unfortunately I'm not allowed to post the link because apparently i'm a 'new user'. Even though i'm not, but never mind.

    There's a deal on 'hotukdeals' (.com) for this and there's a direct link to the offer.

    Hope you can find it from that.


    Good luck!


    edit: - sorry everyone. Scratch that. Thought I was being really clever as using this link was the only way i've actually been able to get onto the website, but on step 4 of 5 at the checkout I got the same message you all got above.
    :(
    sorry.

    :)
  • I managed to get to the checkout page (where they were offering me £0 p/p by the way!) Crashed after that.

    Just shows the power of MSE.

    Sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh - but I can picture the IT department at halfpriceperfumes - lots of screaming, running around and ripping out hair!
