Which competitions have worked on you?

Have you won things from competitions that you would never have bought before, absolutely loved them and now buy them all the time?

I haven't been comping for long, but I recently won the book "The Secret Place" by Tana French. It's a book in a genre I never would have bought for myself but it was one of the best books I've ever read. I've now bought the rest of her books! :eek:

Which wins have converted you?

No matter how it was, i wouldn't buy it again afterwards

Out of interest, why not Sax? I won some Witch Doctor skin products about a year ago and it's now my facial care brand of choice.

Years ago I won a short break with Warners Leisure, and we enjoyed the break so much have returned several times.

Daza

Yep - won a holiday to Cyprus ....... loved the place so much have booked to go again

People told me it would be sooooo expensive to buy things over there (hence why we have not thought about going before) - when we were there we found out that food & drinks was much cheaper than UK

Clarins Flash Balm, I'd never have forked out for that before, but won it, loved it and buy it all the time now.

Zanzib

Miceller Water cleansing lotion- won it on Facebook when it first came out, still buy it now.

bee good 2 in 1 cleanser - I won a years supply but will be buying it when I run out - it leaves my skin so soft

if i didn't buy it beforehand i didn't need it - and by winning something won't make me spend extra

Yes, I won a Revlon Lip Butter and now have pretty much the entire range, and I have repurchased Lancome's Genifique serum - it's a miracle worker for me!

I've done this with books: I won the first two books in a fantasy series I had never heard of and enjoyed them so much I promptly bought the third one as well.

I haven't yet bought anything else as a result of a competition win but, as I only tend to enter competitions for things I really want, I think it's probably only a matter of time!
