    I can Second this. I bought YSL makeup and benefit from eBay and although cheap that's exactly what it was cheap inferior make up. The YSL makeup looked identical so even if it looks the same don't be fooled the product inside can cause more damage to your skin. Avoid amazon too try fragrances direct or cheap smells for low cost premium makeup.

    From boots I bought two ysl foundations to stock up. 4000pts

    Have you tried the foundation before? Is it any good? I usually use Estee Lauder Double Wear but with the points making it so cheap and that you can use your Boots points to buy gift cards (including Visa) seems silly to spend £60 on two bottles when I could spend £14 on two bottles and two nail polishes.

    You might be just allergic to it. I bought hundreds of items from Ebay and all of them have been genuine (so far). :)

    You might have been lucky, or can you really tell whether they are genuine? I bought some Benefit items and they turned out to be fakes. You can tell easily with Benefit as they destroy all items that look less than perfect, and when my palettes came the little slots do not fit correctly inside the box.

    Seeing as these products will go on my face I won't be buying makeup from online anymore!

    On topic though- seems most YSL items are now out of stock!

    I just put 2 of these in my basket

    The 4000 points are showing up - so if it's not working for you try logging out and logging back in or deleting your cookies (My Boots cookies went bonkers yesterday and I couldn't even view the site!)

    Yeah I use double wear too but for weekends as it dries my skin out so I use YSL during the week. YSL foundations are good but if you use double wear alot Ysl has good coverage but isn't as long lasting as double wear. I like the touch! foundation and Prefect touch is good but I find I run out quicker due to brush.

    Can you definitely buy gift cards? I read terms and conditions to check this and it says you can't...

    still working at moment

    If you put 2 items in basket it will give you 4000 points put 4 items in will give you 6000 points

    Also works without using skincare
  • Which mascara did you order? Do you have any problems with it smudging when you get hot (I read this in one of the reviews)? Thanks x


    Sorry for the delay! I use the 'Cils' one, and I've not had any problems with it smudging! I started using it after being given a tester from YSL, and I love it! It's expensive and a luxury, but with the points offer, I just had to! (my 'cheap alternative is MF 2000 calorie!!) You could aways ask for a 'tester' at the YSL counter, they are usually very obliging!

    in my basket and showing £48, but only giving 192 points
  • Think it may be a bit hit & miss. I tried a dummy order this morning & it was working fine but (after checking the colour I needed) after lunch it wasn't. I logged out & back in again and it worked fine. That was 10 minutes ago. Two Touche Eclat, 4000 points, hoorah!
