Hi
Essentails spa - brilliant all came in about 10 days. Easy to use and they included a free DECLEOR body lotion. So will definately use again as it saved me a few pounds compared to Frasers and items were all boxed etc and no customs problem.Great !0 -
Thanx,
I will try them next time but I had to get an order in before it got too late and they had just put up the amount you have to spend for free delivery from £90 to £100. I couldnt spend over £100 this time now so had to work it out to get some things from salonskincare that didnt charge delivery coz I think delivery is £7.95. The items I wanted did work out cheaper overall this time excluding the delivery essential spa would have charged but I know if I have a bigger order essential will prob be better
Was the free gift you got the one for spending over £75?Thanx

Has anyone bought anything from strawberrynet? I'd like to make sure they're ok before I take the plunge!
And watch out buying cosmetics on eBay - I was caught last year with some Lancome moisturiser. It wasn't all that cheap and the packaging was pretty good but it was fake (I had some of the real stuff left in an existing pot and it was completely different, and the leaflet had spelling mistakes) and I had a bit of a struggle getting my money back!0 -
Both I and my best friend have bought from strawberrynet and have never had any problems.0

Try buying from https://www.starfishcosmetics.co.uk. They send things out with next day delivery and their prices are great - Calvin Klein, Lancome, urban Decay etc0

In reply to Loopy Lass, I've got the Benefit Lip Plump which I find quite good although I don't know if it's more mind over matter and you just pout more !.
Anyway it contains Deionized water, polybutene, isopropyl, palmitate, lanolin wax, microcystalline wax, glycerl stearate, propylene glycol,glycerline, and beeswax and some other odds and ends,
This one acts like a concealer that you pat on for a few minutes, filling in any lines, then when you put you lippy on it makes you lips look fuller.
Hope this helps, x0 -

Sorry i didn't read past your thread so this may have been answered.
If you got to a nails inc bar and buy a shape and paint for £11 - this is redeemable off their products. So basically it is a free shape and paint and you then can see which products you want to buy. They do a good French polish. x0
