That does seem like it might work, but it cancels if I add the free gift :mad: What's most annoying is it's the lip balms I really want, and even if I add just one to the basket it comes up free and all the expensive stuff goes back to full price :mad::mad:

thats why this offer isnt so good, someone here may have a better idea, but what if you just buy 5 lip balms and use the 25%off code ?

as it will knock of free the cheapest 2 items ,

After LOTS of fiddling around this is what I found to be the best way of doing it:

Add 2x candles @ £10 each = £20 to your basket. Then add 3x £8 items that are exactly the same and you will get 2 of them free. Then add your chosen £8 body lotion. THEN remove 1x of the £8 items from your basket (the one that isn't free). Add the voucher CODE25 and you will get £5 off and free postage. So then you will pay £15 for £44 of goods. Of course if you don't want candles you could try substituting them with other high value products, but that is what worked for me. Good luck folks.

I got 2x candles @ £20
2x sleep balms FREE (worth £16 for 2)
1x Mango body lotion (worth £8)
-£5 voucher = £15 to pay!!!

N.B. Of course you can put lower value items in your basket but then you won't save as much money. There isn't much point getting a £2 lip balm free when you can have something worth £8 free IMHO.

after 30 minutes of fiddling ive just ordered;

1 Shea shower gel £6.00/£0.00
1 Rainforest detangling spray £6.00/£0.00
1 Lemon whip puree £8.00/£0.00
1 Colourglide lipstick £9.00
1 Vit C microdermabrasion £12.00

Total £21.00
- £5 + free delivery

= £16 total including p ad p.

is this the best offer? I think it is. I dont think i should have got the top 2 items free!

thanks Op!

I agree - it's just really annoying that I can't order even a single one without it messing up the offer!

However, I've been very naughty and just completed another order - using your instructions (still no lip balm though ), so thanks very much for the tips!!! :T

Such a shame the glitch has finished. I was going to do one last order as well. I may do one under Lemony's instructions as there were a couple of things I still [STRIKE]need[/STRIKE]want.:)

Lemony

YES BUT... there's no point doing it my way unless you particularly want those items! I ordered candles as a treat for myself, and I wanted to try the sleep balm but didn't want to pay £8 for one! Maybe the same method will work with different items? To be honest I was just trying to get the best deal whilst only spending about £15.

I've just realised I got £29 off my order! I'd never pay the full price though...

Was this reply to me? If so, don't worry, I didn't order candles, I ordered Body Butter, which I do kind of want... and if not I can always ebay it - but I have a nasty feeling I will end up keeping it

I ended up paying just over £18, not £15, but I really wouldn't have used the candles so it made sense to pay a bit extra and get things I actually want.

Lemony

I was just rambling in general...

But yes I agree, it's only a bargain if it's something you will use and appreciate. I placed a second order in fact which contained some cheaper items (tea tree body wash for the dog, LOL)!

To be honest, I think I'm glad that the original glitch is over - I placed four orders in total and I was running out of space to hide the goodies. OH loves the shower gel but wouldn't beleive I need so much body butter
