    I bought it for my daughter as a work colleague has beautiful nails and recommended the kit. I was fortunate to get the kit (not deluxe) from instore in Tesco and I got nail polishes for £5. I would sign up for the sensationail newsletter as they often have an offer of the weekend for £5 polishes (with PP) which work out cheaper than buying elsewhere.
  • What are the chances of the Mark Hill Va Va Va Voom Big Blow Glam Kit being the star gift of the week between now and Christmas?
  • Does anyone know if the benefit set will be a star gift and when?

    If you read back a few pages, it tells you that it will be from the 29th November.


    And also did I not read on here that the Benefit set was going to be £19 next week?? Or did I make that bit up:o

    Ooh crimbo at Boots, my favourite time of year (Before the 75% off sale of course!)
    Does anyone know what the Star Gift is this week?

    I found out Benefit Cosmetics are doing a "Best 5" kit £50 down to £24.50 either 22nd or 29th Nov... Anyone got any more info on that, I would be so greatful, as it is my favourite brand :)

    Happy Christmas shopping bargain hunters!! :)

    just seen this from further back in the thread - theres no way those miniatures in a box instore now at £24.50 are worth £50 :eek:!

    So is this on offer NOW then, and not from Next Friday as quite a few of us thought? If it is, then I need to get me down for the points event get me some more and return the ones I already have lol.

    But I could have SWORE someone told me it was going down to £19. Either on here or on Twitter.
    There was no-where yesterday saying these were on sale from £50 to £24.50 AND it was the original price tag on it of £24.50:undecided

    I'm confused now:think: :o

  • Is the Best of Benefit Set only available in stores which have a Benefit concession because I tried two stores in Norwich (which don't have Benefit concessions) and neither of them had it and no SA's had even seen it!

    i,m fairly sure my local store doesn't have a Benefit stand, yet there was a big stack of the miniatures in the box at £24.50 at the front of the store near the tills yesterday.
