So last night night - I toddled along. What a fabulous "pick me up" evening. I was treated to 3 glasses of champagne, sandwiches, a make up session (I could choose between makeup, a facial or hand massage) and a goody bag containing 12 full size products worth £78! Now that's what I call a freebie. I have to say that the products are divine. I also have to say that the staff in the shop were all really lovely. I now want to be as young, and slim, and beautiful, and fragrant as a L'Occitane Lady.
Also - whilst on the subject of freebies, if you take an old dried up mascara to the Clinique counter in Boots, you can drop it into a box they have and walk away with a free Clinique mascara (offer only on until early next week I think). I don't know if this applies to Clinique counters in other stores too, but Boots in Meadowhall had plenty left.
Freebie Hunting is one of my favourite hobbies!
Raking and scratching about in the bottom of my scuzzy makeup bag right now......... what an offer! Thanks for this. You had quite an evening too, well done l'occitane for being so generous.
ReplyDeleteLucky you - sounds like a fab evening! I love L'Occitane (have their 4 Reines and Peony sprays) when I went to Shrewsbury recently to meet a friend we spent ages in the shop there and were offered fuit tea as we walked around. What a super bag of goodies you were given - I bet that has helped towards cheering up a dark and rainy November!
ReplyDeleteDiane, do you know anywhere I could drop my legs in and get a new pair?? Actually, if pushed for stock, just the right one would do?
ReplyDeleteCan you put ANY mascara in the Clinique box and get another one??
Yes Gilly - its any old Mascara - I took one that I got for free from a magazine that had dried up! As for legs - i'll look into it! xxxx
ReplyDeleteoooh, wow - lucky you - I could do with something like that at the moment! You get grey days, don't you? I love freebies too - always on the look out for a bargain!
ReplyDeleteOooooh!
ReplyDeleteLove L'Occitiane , they do wonderful candles, and the handcream was a real hand saver when I worked on the wards (all that handwashing!)
I am almost tempted to go to Meadowhell....
Glad you enjoyed the pamper - better hide the products from your daughter though!

Lucky you, what a treat.

OMG what fab goodies! Would you believe I have never tried any L'Occitaine products? Great tip about the mascara :) x
ReplyDeleteWow that's an amazing freebie!!
ReplyDeleteMight have to go to my local Boots and see if they're doing that mascara swap, sounds good to me!
I might just pop in to Boots in Chester ... that's such a good deal!
ReplyDeleteLove Kathy xxx
Wow wow wow, that is a serious goodie bag! xx
ReplyDeleteWow, what fantastic freebies. I have to admit to being just a little jealous!
ReplyDeleteAnything free has to be good :-) Diane
ReplyDeletewow, now those are some amazing freebies you got there -- I have to own up and admit I don't own a mascara !!
ReplyDeleteWow, looks as though you had a fabulous evening!
ReplyDeleteIsn't l'Occitane just great? Good for you! :-)
ReplyDeleteRe. le potager du roi: yes, it is a very nice place to stop (and even shop as they also sell honey and a lovely rhubarb nectar all made in Versailles). You would have to go in the early summer for it to be worth it though.
Lots more to see in Versailles, depending on what you want to do. Do let me know if you are anywhere near!
It sounds like a great way to spend the evening especially with champa's to tempt. What a great tip for old mascara! I have a habit of keeping them far too long, infact I am embarassed to admit I am sure I have been using the same one for a year! bkush....

Now that's what I call a freebie!! I'm wondering if our Clinque counters here ever do this "trade in" thing with mascara? I'm going to have to check it out. Acctually, I use Clinque masacara, but I don't know why, because I complain about it all the time...too gooey when new, then dries up too fast. Yes, I'm a little hard to please, I guess!
ReplyDeleteI think I have England envy now, I have never heard of anything like that Clinique deal in Oz, or for that matter that georgeous l'Occitane giveaway either. {I must get around in the wrong circles!} Still, good for you!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a good night out! One of your best freebies.
ReplyDeleteBetter than eating pickled onions out of a jar!

Wow what a fab freebee and night out ! You lucky thing.
ReplyDeleteJulie told me about your freebies luckly you I,ve tried & still not recieved a thing
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing! What a wonderful evening, they couldn't have made it even more perfect if they had tried. 3 glasses of champagne, good company and extravagant pressies.. I am deeply envious of you. (said in light hearted tones because there is nothing more that I love than a friend having a wonderful time)
ReplyDeleteFABULOUS ! glad you had a great time - champers 'n all !
ReplyDeleteI use Clinique anti redness products & all I got offered was to be a red faced example for a trainee to do makeup on !!!
Aren't you a lucky girl!! Thought of you the other day when my husband found a heart shaped pebble from the beach and gave it to me on our anniversary! It reminded me of your header!
ReplyDeleteWow that must be one of the best freebies I have heard of. I love L'occitaine products, but don't treat myself very often.
ReplyDeleteSo lucky! xxxxx
ReplyDeleteWow that is one heck of a freebie! lucky you!
ReplyDeleteThat's fan-flippin-tastic. You lucky lady. xx
ReplyDeleteSumat for nawt, we love that. Well done.
