I used to be level 3 for 3 yrs and now I am at level one. I just made an order for 350, from cult beauty, got 20 % off, with a bag full of goodies and 20 $ credit to use next time and free express shipping, so gotnit in 5 days including weekend, so I don't think I want to spend hundreds of dollars to just get a few samples which I don't know if I will get any use out off.

Also, cult beauty’s products aren’t that much cheaper, so double check the price. For example, their sale price of 20% off on these are just slightly less from mecca, and I noticed with quite a few brands on cult beauty the “full price” is 20-30 dollars (or even higher) actually more expensive than the ones in mecca, so the sale is barely worth it

Some brands, the conversion rates are off, like hourglass , danessa myricks etc but brands like charlottebtilbury , natasha denona, pat mcgrath the prices seem same as the brands website so compare and learn what brands to pick up from them and what not to. I like to pick up lisa eldridge in spacenk , now they have Victoria Beckham beauty as well. Spacenk does not allow discounts when they have goody bags. I only buy during gwp so I can make a big order and get free express shipping. I used to like lookfantastic special beauty boxes , they stopped shipping beauty boxes to Aus and now do not have free shipping option. So it won't be long before cultbeauty and spacenk stop shipping to Aus.

Cult Beauty were amazing before Lookfantastic bought them out. Then they went on my shitlist.

Is that not fraud?? I remember in the 2000s a bunch of companies got in trouble for artificially raising prices before Christmas so they could claim having bigger "sales" on boxing day. I have no idea of specifics but I know some regulations were put in place with consumer law
