Guerlain Cosmetics & Skincare - cheaper anywhere?

Anetares

This is a plea going out to everyone in e-shopping land... well, and the real world too.

I use Guerlain cosmetics and skincare as I'm allergic to a lot of other brands, the thing is that it's daftly expensive... I'd love to know of anywhere online, or any rl shops which sell Guerlain at lower prices than department stores. It's hard to find Guerlain products irl, few places online stock it. Obviously, if online retailers carrying the brand have discount codes, that would be nice too, but I just want to pay a bit less than I do currently.. I'm after the skincare and cosmetics, not the perfume.

The best I've found is the 10% off days at Debenhams and House of Fraser, and trips through duty free, as for online, Strawberry.net are outside the UK, so the import duty negates most savings.

Yours hopefully....
Anet.

Sorry to say, I don't think you're going to be in luck I'm afraid, I also love Guerlain and they seem to be very strictly regulated regarding online selling.

I've searched for years with no luck. Garden Pharmacy in Covent Garden provide an excellent online service for cosmetics and although they sell Guerlain in their store, they don't sell it online. The Guerlain is full price however they do have an online loyalty points system. You could chance your luck and give them a call and see if you could buy a couple of products online and have them add your Guerlain products to it and see if they can give you points on it. Who knows if you ask you might be able to get a bargain from them! Postage is free above £60 at present.

That's the best I can do, sorry can't be of more help.

Anything helps! Thanks, I've come across Garden's site now and then, but usually in relation to Chanel or Clinique, didn't know they stocked Guerlain too. I usually buy at House of Fraser because of the loyalty card they have, works out about £40 in vouchers in every 3 months, so about 1 free product, but I'll give Garden Pharmacy a go too.

Another question, does anyone know if a Boots store anywhere stocks Guerlain? My local is the Milton Keynes branch, they don't have it though, so I can't even go the Advantage Card route.

Dear Anet,

Your best bet is Strawberry online. You only pay duty on items worth over £18 or around £36 as a gift so if you order individual items they may not be over the limits. Also, if you have to pay duty strawberry often refunds the money provided you provide proof of payment. They don't promise to do it but I've never had a problem. They may well stop if it becomes too successful but I think it would be worth a try. Also, with every order you place you get an extra discount so if you do buy lots of smaller items to keep under the duty limit your loyalty discount will build up very quickly. Also, they often send out very large discounts to existing customers. I use Clinique and have bought the skin care for up to a 1/4 of the retail value with loyalty discounts and email offers.

I have started to see a few items in TK Maxx. Might be worth popping in if you live near one.

Thanks, great suggestions, strawberrynet seem to have more than my local debenhams do... and tkmaxx, never been in it before but we have one down the road so I'll certainly check it out.

Thanks!
