Buyapowa Bargains

I have posted about individual offers on 'Buyapowa' before, but wanted to do another post about the site, as they have got some great beauty co-buys lined up over the next few weeks. If you haven't heard of 'Buyapowa' before, it is a web-site that invites the public to suggest items that they wish to purchase. The buying team then do their best to source the items and negotiate a discounted price. Once the items go live on the site, the price drops as more people opt in to the co-buy. A simple but perfect idea. I have made some great purchases from the site, all with really good discounts: Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick (£8 off); Benefit 'They're Real' Beyond Mascara (£7.50 off); Shu Uemura eyelash curlers (£6 off).

I really like the fact that the site lists forthcoming co-buys, so you can be notified as soon as particular items go live, thus minimising your chances of missing out on a great beauty bargain. Future co-buys include 'Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge and 'Liz Earle' Superskin Concentrate. Although saying that, the site isn't just limited to beauty buys. If you want it, you can suggest a co-buy for it. Recent items have included everything from HP printers to bike lights. So what are you waiting for? Get yourself over to 'Buyapowa'!

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion for only £9 - 38% off the RRP

You might remember Buyapowa's recent run of Benefit beauty bargains, and they have come up trumps again, with another series of beauty steals. The website has set up a series of Urban Decay co-buys, the latest one of which is the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. The RRP is £14.50, but if enough people sign up to the co-buy, then the price could drop to £9. The beauty co-buys are always hotly anticipated, so if you are interested, I would get in there quick.

Benefit: Confessions of a Concealaholic Kit for £18.50 - save £10

Buyapowa.com are continuing their series of Benefit beauty bargains this week, with an offer on Benefit's 'Confessions of a Concealaholic' kit. The kit contains everything you could need to prime, conceal and brighten:

- "that gal" brightening face primer
- boi-ing (01, 02) industrial strength concealer in 2 shades for custom concealing
- erase paste (no. 2 medium) brightening camouflage for eyes and face
- lemon aid colour correcting eyelid primer
- eye bright instant eye brightener
- concealer brushes
- step-by-step lesson


The starting price on the kit is £28.50 but if enough people get in on the co-buy, the price could fall to £18.50. I have been really impressed with my purchases from Buyapowa.com - easy payment and fast delivery (often free depending on the particular deal). If you are trying to be good in the run up to Christmas and not spend as much on beauty products for yourself, then you might want to grab one of these as a present for someone. But you better get in there quickly, as all of the beauty offers this week have sold out within a few hours.

Benefit 'They're Real' Mascara for £11.00 - £7.50 saving on the RRP

Another great offer from Buyapowa.com . I have been wanting to try Benefit's 'They're Real' mascara since it was released in August. It has had some great reviews on a number of beauty blogs. And thanks to Buyapowa.com there's the chance to save £7.50 on the RRP and snap it up for £11.00. Their last offer (Nanoblur) sold out in two and a half hours, so I would recommend getting in there quickly to ensure you get it at a bargain price.

Nanoblur Optical Skin Cream for £11.99

UPDATE: 11:55 am - Wow! The Buyapowa.com stock of Nanoblur was all bought in two and a half hours! I guess that shows you've got to get in there quick.

*********************************************************************
Just a quick post to let you know that there's a great offer over at Buyapowa.com. Today you can get Nanoblur Optical Skin Cream, which has variously been described as a "mini-tube of heaven" and "an ideal cheat to look fresh-faced", for as little as £11.99. I love the idea of Buyapowa.com. You can vote for the products you want them to offer, and then the more people that opt in to a co-buy, the lower the price gets. Before now I have snapped up a Chanel lipstick and Nails Inc magnetic polish at reduced prices from their site. It makes those beauty treats a bit more affordable. So what are you waiting for? Get yourself over to Buyapowa.com! This is a one-day only offer (ends tomorrow morning at 9am) so get in while you can.
