The Body Shop- deal of the day bargain

  • one of my orders have arrived and I'm real pleased with it, The brushes aren't all that but compare them with a set you'd buy outta boots or the like and they are still a bargain. The boots are lovely but the roller balls not worth £3. I suspect bodyshop get these for 5p each and are making loads on people buying them to make up their order for free del or 342 or free gifts. I bought 4 in total!
  • I am pretty sure my friends will be happy with their presents of brushes, eye pallette and rollerball....they will never guess it only cost £6!! Mwah ha ha!!!
    If my words are missing letters then please excuse me....my keyboard is a tad dodgy!!
  • I am also more than happy with my purchases so far. The roller balls look as though they are probably worth about £1 IMO and my nieces will be more than happy with them as a little something extra to their existing presents. So in effect I paid £2.80 for the brush sets which I think is a great buy! :D I agree that they are definately not worth £39 - but if I got them as a gift would think they were around the £12 - £15 mark and the quality isn't that bad.

    Am waiting for my foot hugs, body hug and cranberry reed room fragrance thingie.

    I haven't shopped in body shop since the early 90's TBH as did not think it was value for money - but this deal is FABULOUS! :beer:

    My last order has arrived with half of it missing.....2 make up bags, 2 soaps and 1 body butter. :confused:

    I've just phoned and they will send out replacements but it's quite a lot to be missing from one order so heaven knows how that's happened.

    I thought maybe it would be in another box but nope, it states 1 of 1 on the label.

    Looks like they are snowed under. :rolleyes:

    What's the best offers at the moment? It's pay day tomorrow and want to get my order planned!!
    2010 is the year of bargain shopping! Time to money save, exercise and plan! I like to keep busy :)
  • In the shop there is 30% off lots of gifts from today til the 24th, but the discounts don't seem to be showing up on the online shop!
    To clarify with the £5 voucher- there is no minimum spend but change will not be given if you spend less than £5 (most people are buying the £5 little gift boxes)

    The Winter Trend eye and cheek palette in 01 has sold out in our shop, glad I grabbed a couple because the eyeshadows last really well.
  • My last order arrived today via RM in a padded jiffy bag. It was the brushes and 2 x sparkle roller things, certainly nice enough for the £5 odd I paid.

    I'm doing the same for my friends, I think it makes a lovely gift and for £6 you can't really complain! :j

    Since these orders have arrived I feel like Body Shop has gone down in my estimation. I'm not disappointed with what I paid for the stuff (quite cheap, not moaning !) but the normal selling price seems like a total con. I feel saying the brushes are worth 39.99 duped people into buying more than they would have normally. The soaps were tiny! £5.95 for a small bottle of bubble bath !This stuff doesn't seem to be of the same quality Body Shop used to sell. I am so glad my card got rejected for the other 5 orders !!!!!

    I'm the opposite, i'm really impressed with the body shop and the way they've handled this offer. I do only shop online at the BS, and only with a good code as it brings prices down to a level I feel are worth paying. So yes at full price I feel their products are overpriced, but then I feel that about most places which is why i'm always after a bargain:rotfl:

    Don't forget that your online orders can be returned. If peeps aren't happy with their orders, there is no point keeping it just because it was a good price;)
