Spin pin- 10 for £2.50 delivered instead of 2 for £5

vikki_louise

Hi, I wanted to try the spin pins which are advertised on tv at the moment (info http://mesluxes.blogspot.com/2011/04/goody-simple-styles-spin-pin.html). Was going to get them from Boots, you get a pack of 2 for £5 (same price in all the shops) but then a friend mentioned there are sellers on ebay doing 10 of them for less.

Got a pack of 10 spin pins for £2.50 including postage. They come in from Hong Kong so haven't arrived yet but the seller I got them from had all positive feedback and there are other sellers.

Thought I would share incase anyone else was going to pay £2.50 each rather than 25p!

Edited to say- it says you only need 2 pins for a hairstyle even for thick hair. I've got very long hair so will keep some and give some for a friend as there is no way you need 10!

On ebay at the moment there is the ones you get in the shop in the packaging for £5 for 2. the same pack is currently going for £11.50 plus £2 postage when theres the same ones just not in the box for 25p each!!

Can I ask what you do with these - I have thick shoulder length hair and can't tie my hair in a bun as there would be bits sticking out all over the place.

Thanks so much! Almost ordered the £5 pack yesterday so bonus.

As for what you do, according to the advert you spin your hair into a bun then just push these in type thing but I don't really know how easy they are to use.

This is a review and pretty good step by step instruction video about the spin pins. I think I'll be getting some now!

Hmm, if these were out a decade ago and completely died out, does that mean they aren't that great?

Is it not just that buns haven't been fashionable for a decade rather than that the tool doesn't work. Banana clips were the big thing around 20 years ago but fell out of fashion rather than nobody used them because they didn't work.

I feel a spin pin coming on.....

I just ordered a 2 pack for 99p delivered. They are coming from hong kong so will take a couple of weeks but for that price I don't mind. I found them by typing spiral barrette in the search tab rather than spin pin.
