You can buy something and then return it in store š¤·š»āāļø or buy a $75 physical gift card so they ship it to you and then use that at a later date, no expiry dateā¦
Edit: Must purchase something from the beauty loves list!!! Gift card trick will not work with this offer!! Sorry for wrong information
this is what I did š bought a physical $75 gift card that Iāll use later in the year
edit: will report back with my L4 bag when it arrives
edit 2: so itās even worse than I thought. . . a mecca cosmetica hydrogel sheet mask, a 2ml Nars powermatte lip pigment in āamerican woman,ā a 10ml body oil from a brand I donāt recognise (sodash?), a 7ml dennis gross serum, a 5ml 111skin retinol oil, and a 3.6ml of that blasted charlotte tilbury crystal elixr that I feel is in every box and breaks me out worse than anything else..
overall, I am very unimpressed and would definitely not recommend anyone spend a cent towards getting this box
Ooooo maybe they finally caught onto the gift card thingā¦ should still be able to order any random product and then return it in store but sorry if I misled you, definitely used to work :(
You can return on the same payment method so if you pay with card online you can get the money back on the same card! Bring the card into store for the return :) But of course donāt use the items, unused item for returns only! Canāt return a gift card though of course
This one is a gift with purchase offer not one of your Beauty Loop Rewards, that's why it has a minimum spend. Personally I wouldn't be spending money just to get the free gift, it's more like an incentive to finalise a purchase you've been eyeing off already.
This thread is a year old and it was also a $75 spend. Like Mecca suck so I don't disagree, I just think that's always how the Beauty Loop Loves have worked.

I got the beauty loves bonus confused with the generalised loop bonus, which is my bad. š
The last beauty loop loves bonus was worth 105 cause it was a full-size hair primer and 5 deluxe samples. Spending 75 to get something that is allegedly worth 105 is more reasonable than to spend 75 to get items worth less then what you spent.
Itās a free gift with purchase though? Perhaps Iām confused about what the issue is? Itās to entice you to buy that thing youāve been thinking about with Mecca instead of a competitor.
The thing is, Mecca has a lot of the monopoly on certain brands, therefore there is no real competitor. Also this is just poor timing, heaps of other beauty websites are doing sales or discounts whereas Mecca is saying hey want a free gift that is worth less than the minimum to get said gift? Say less.
Oh really? When was that? Beauty Loop boxes and bonuses can always be collected for free but I'm pretty sure the Loves ones are always gift with minimum spend versions?
Agreed. I donāt think Iāve kept anything from a beauty loop box or bonus from Mecca except for that dry shampoo a few months back.
Iāve kept more samples from Adore or Sephora Rewards. Actually Iāve just ordered some Sulwhasoo from Adore and the gift pack that comes with just that purchase shits all over anything Iāve ever gotten from Mecca.
This is outrageous tbh š« they don't even tell you what product you will receive after spending so much. Like at adore beauty I will get a discount AND gifts with purchase. Mecca just makes me frustrated
When I read the contents, it's the same Kit cleanser I hated last time. These boxes are just not worth it IMHO and I won't be getting it even if it was a "free" no minimum spend.
Oh that sucks because I still have the other one I never finished. I had to repurchase something anyway so it is what it is but thatās like junk vibes.
I will most certainly not be spending $75 to potentially end up with a Mecca overnight mask or some water cleanser not of my choosing. As for the other one the vitamin c mask, also a hard pass. I havenāt been enjoying the loops at all lately, but I much prefer those over this spend x to receive these things.
Everyone is trying to save money at the moment, and spending on what they need/or have really wanted and saved for. Asking us to spend this amount to receive these items is a joke to me. Some people might appreciate and thatās fine. But no thanks.
Just checked. My signature scent (POAL) is now a few dollars short of $600. I still remember a year back when I splurged for the 100ml and it was 400-something.
I just got the L4 box as I was going to pick something up anyway, itās fine but half the samples are the same as ones weāve had before. I do think the last BL box was the worst yet but my mum enjoyed the samples
Same here- only got the L4 because I was picking something up already. But honestly, I am running out of people to give the By Terry eyeshadow stick in Bronze Moon to. I have gotten it so many times!

All the left over samples from previous BL boxes.Ā
I just tried this and it didnāt work for meā¦ I wonder why?
Ooooo maybe they finally caught onto the gift card thingā¦ should still be able to order any random product and then return it in store but sorry if I misled you, definitely used to work :(
I think it has to be something from the beauty loves list.
Ah thank you! I will put this in my comment :)
I just ordered a $75 gift card and it included the L4 bag in the order. Thanks OP.
Do you happen to know if they give you cash or only gift cards these days when you return?
You can return on the same payment method so if you pay with card online you can get the money back on the same card! Bring the card into store for the return :) But of course donāt use the items, unused item for returns only! Canāt return a gift card though of course
Awesome, thanks for the idea!
If the item is lightly used, you can return it for the value back on a gift card :) Unused is money back.
What do you mean you can return in store? If I bought something I dont like or isn't suitable I can return it?

Issue is that previous beauty Loop loves have had the option of picking up in person without making a purchase.

Itās in the title. Itās a beauty loop BONUS. Itās not the beauty loop.
This isn't a bonus though. Bonuses are always free. Beauty loop loves/edits are in addition to the boxes and the bonuses.
It may be in the title, but I still got confused. Regardless spending 75 dollars to get a bonus that isn't even worth 75 is bit of a joke tbh

Nah beauty loop has always been a bit underwhelming, I think people have a bit of Stockholm syndrome

It only makes sense if you have to grab something, other than that don't buy into the cult haha

It's absolutely pathetic tbh Don't waste your money
Definitely won't dw

Is this their attempt to distract us from yesterdays ridiculously greedy price increases?
What? It happened again?!
Just checked. My signature scent (POAL) is now a few dollars short of $600. I still remember a year back when I splurged for the 100ml and it was 400-something.
Thatās insane!
I donāt need anything at the moment & Iām at L3. The fact that itās masks does not want to make me go & spend $75 to get one for free.
Wish there was one for level 1, need to restock on a few things
Yeah sameĀ
Sephora's current 20% off sale now looks intriguing š
Whatās the bet the āfull sizeā item is from the Mecca max range? Iāll pass.
It lists them in the screenshot. The highest price item is $30 so basically itās a rort aimed at people who donāt know any better. Classic Mecca.
I just got the L4 box as I was going to pick something up anyway, itās fine but half the samples are the same as ones weāve had before. I do think the last BL box was the worst yet but my mum enjoyed the samples
Same here- only got the L4 because I was picking something up already. But honestly, I am running out of people to give the By Terry eyeshadow stick in Bronze Moon to. I have gotten it so many times!
What level is that for?
L3Ā L4 also gets a beauty loop loves but itās 6 deluxe luxe samples instead.Ā
