Deals Too Good to Pass Up (Volume Five)

[notcreative]

Welcome back to the deal sharing fun! Deals shared here may also be posted to my blog (same name as the thread) unless you write for BT only. If I share your deal, I will always thank you here. I will heart every deal I see (without an outside or cheat link) to acknowledge it.

Beautytalk (the forum) does not allow outside links. A heart with no comment means I already have the deal or am deciding not to list it. Please list the retailer (without the link or cheat link; dot com) if it is not mentioned in the picture. Mods come in more often when they see any type of link. Thanks for sharing (original deals and repeats are welcome)! Please also share any deal haul you want, especially mystery gifts.

Discussion is encouraged. A lot of questions come with certain deals or retailers. When I see questions I can answer, I will respond (unless the poster consistently ignores me or someone else already answered the complete question). I read all the main posts (so no need to tag me). If you're replying to a post that is not near the top of the thread and want me or a specific person to see it, please tag us.

If you're posting about something on sale at Sephora, please share it here:

I thought I edited this to leave a message here, but after reading some private messages, I realize it did not take. This time, I will make sure it does before I sign off. Instead of waiting until I can return to reading every message to return at all, I will just pop in on certain days. I hope everyone is doing well. For me, some days are better than others.

Birchbox direct:

I haven't used Pixi shadows, but they look pretty. Also, does anyone know of any general codes for their shop? I want to pick up a Caudaile set.

@dd0214 GIMME10 for $10 off $50. I think if you use it on a sale item, the $10 is taken off before the 30% (for ~$7 savings)

The GWP page has a bunch of codes.

I received two more codes of $25 off $50 at Saks online good till the end of the day. Just tell me you want one and I'll send it by pm. It doesn't work on Beauty

If you already used a code starting with GIFT16, you won't be able to use it. I tried to use one yesterday and wasn't able.

Now a little rant:

Spoiler

Saks false advertisement attacks again. First they sent me an promo saying I would receive one code for each new costumer referred by me. They did send the codes, but I could only use 1 code myself. To be fair that was the fine print on the code, but it was total opposite to the original promo wording. I thought it was just a mistake of the system, and decided to contact them.

I called CS and the first lady told me she knew nothing about it because she was new there, so she asked for proof. I didn't have the first email anymore, but I forwarded a code email (sent by Saks' email address) + the link and screenshot from the promo I had posted here on BT. Despite the proof she said Saks never sent me that. I tried to explain it was from them and it worked for everyone. She kept insisting Saks had nothing to do with that (what???).

I asked her to pass me to someone who had been there longer and knew about the promos, she put me on waiting, came back herself and repeated what she told before. At this point I was just upset she didn't transfer my call, probably just pretended to ask someone else (edit: I feel unfair saying it, but would she keep insisting if she had real information?) and was calling me a liar basically, so I thanked her, wished a good day and hung-up.

By now, I really wanted to ask someone more knowledgeable so I called a second time, and got a more professional lady who told me the promo could only be used once even if I received 5 different codes. Still, no excuses for the false promises of the first promo,  but at least this one didn't call me a liar. 

Au contraire of Nordies, Saks doesn't send a costumer satisfaction email after you finish talking to them... I wonder why. 

P.S.: weird enough, after sending that first lady the link, I received a code. I kinda think she decided to use the link herself... lol

Edit: I may not see the messages in time so I decided to leave the codes here in the spoiler.

Please comment if you use.

@DaintyDiva  Sorry you had to go through that.  I had a similar experience.

CS had never heard of the $25 off of $50 code, and even though there were no restrictions, I couldn't use it for Dolce Gabbana makeup, nor any beauty at all.

It almost seemed like they make it up as they go.  That was a wasted hour on chat.

[DaintyDiva]

@Ispend2much6 I'm sorry you had problems too 😞 I do hope your CS representative was at least polite. Saks really ought to train their CS better.

[Ispend2much6]

@DaintyDiva  Thank you.  It worked out well.  I was able to use that money for a great skincare deal the following week. 🙂
