Update. Site very slow. And i mean VERY. And i believe Sleek say this offer is extended until today (friday) 23:59 GMT because so many people are having problems trying to place orders.

  • The site is very slow! I wanted the Bad Girl and Good Girl palettes but they seem to be full price. I haven't checked out yet though.

    To be honest they are cheap anyway, at £5.99 each (and the Storm one is a great neutral palette, well worth the money). I just thought if it was all half price I'd get pretty much everything!
  • Not only is the website slow but there is not full price off everything. Just went to get a pallette and they are still £5.99 so not sure what is half price as site is very slow

  • It's never normally slow, must be the interest in the sale.
  • Their website is having difficulties handling all of the traffic of people after finding out about it (originates because of their Facebook fan page, that's how I found out about it).

    I tried for one hour to access the website without any luck, so I gave up. I then tried every few hours from 1pm - 11pm and still couldn't access the website. I will try again tomorrow.

    The code was meant to expire at midnight, but they have extended it until 11:59pm Friday 12th November.

    You need to add your items to your basket, then enter the code at checkout to reduce the prices by 50%! The prices aren't automatically discounted on the website, it's done at checkout with the code GBP50SLK
  • They haven't extended it - I just tried it and it told me the code had expired :(

    Damn! I still haven't even got to checkout - basket has gone to zero, page load times are excruciating, and now it just comes up with 'Runtime Error' whenever i try to click on a link! Ahr well, thanks for saving me extra waiting time x

    They have extended it. If you visit their Facebook fan page they have given the details of the extension.

    Code expired was also another problem people were experiencing, along with many other funky issues, and that is exactly why their page is full of complaints from people trying to access the website.

    I can assure you, they have extended it.

    I quote Sleek:
    SALE UPDATE; the sale will be extended till 23.59 GMT on Friday 12th November. in the next few hours our server capacity will be significantly increased which should solve the clearing of the basket issues. We may need to take the site down for a few hours but I will update you with the time in a mo..

    They also gave this update:
    CHECKING IN: we have had over a million individual hits to our website & a huge amount of orders in the past 10 hrs therefore even with the upgrade it is still slow. As less people access the site issues should subside. The sale is on until tomorrow midnight please come back later when traffic subsides if u can, CS wi...l be avaiable again from 9am GMT tomorrow. Thanks

    Either way, I hope I can place my order ok later on today! I really want to try some more Sleek products and I don't want to miss out on such a good discount! :(
