    FREE shipping on all orders within IRE & UK - just enter SHIP4FREE at checkout!

    If you use that, it cancels the original STOCKGIVEAWAY code.

    Scrub wasnt bad, facewash was really nice. Holy jesus the post shave balm is rotten, smells like the bottom of a fishmongers bin


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,522 ✭✭✭recyclops


    after using the bodywash, scrub and facewash. I have decided to buy more of the stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 534 ✭✭✭Morby


    Anyone manage to get the free shipping working in conjunction with the discount code, If spending under €50?

    A few have claimed above to have done it, I can't seem to get it to work though.

    I add products at the full price so it's over €50, the apply the discount code which brings it back down to under €50 again and then when I try to pay it tells free shipping is now invalid, which is fair enough.

    But a few here seem to have got it working, is there some trick or knack to this?

    yes - clear your cart and possible clear the cache too.

    Start again. Enter the STOCKGIVEAWAY code and apply it BEFORE you start entering your address details

    Think you only get free shipping if order is over 50 after discount, at least for me that's the only way i could get free shipping.

    Made 2 different orders. The second one (travel set) was delivered yesterday morning. No sign of the first order although the tracking is saying it's delivered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,817 ✭✭✭Darc19


    Cosmetics such as face cream, shower gels etc once unopened will stay in good condition for a few years.

    It's only when they are opened do they start degradation.

    9-12 months from opening is considered normal


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,267 ✭✭✭mcgovern


    Got an email yesterday saying my order was on its way and listed everything I'd ordered (5 items).
    Then an email this morning telling me I'd been refunded for the Travel Gift set (which in fairness I immediately was) followed by a note letting me know they were out of stock but they might get more in in a few days. And my order would dispatch today...

    Got same email, they will refund me but now also charge me shipping as it brings my order under 50, my original order was 51 so shipping was free

    They, and every other delivery driver/courier in the country, are rushed off their feet.

    According to a courier I know they are doing 50-60% more deliveries currently than they normally would around Christmas.

    DPD are even advertising they fact that they have recruited more staff.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,772 ✭✭✭youngblood


    Now I know why the company was doing a clearance and going bust!

    The products are horrific, overpriced and smell awful
    I got the balm and face scrub-I've used Seaweed based/extract moisturisers and washes for a long time and these products feel nothing like them- in using the face scrub, the fragrance is so unpleasant that it actually causes me to hold my breath until its thoroughly washed off

    Can't believe NEUU lasted for so long, selling such below par products- Disappointed


  • Registered Users Posts: 105 ✭✭WengerOutIn


    Got mine, two sets of moisturizer and shower wash. Believe it or not folks, it does smell like seaweed. So for the poor amadans expecting floral scent of a honey bee on the wing, lower the oul expectations!
    Its nice, but it smells like seaweed. Bit like ronseal, does what it says on the tin.
    Thanks OP!

    I'm really happy with it. I got the face wash, scrub, shaving gel - well impressed with this, pea sized amount will give full face lather using a brush, after shave balm and moisturizer. thought the fragrance was neutral to be honest.

    yeah i liked mine, facewash feels quality and silky ont the skin


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,896 ✭✭✭sabat


    Strange, I only noticed the smell after other people here said it so I took a deep sniff of some of them in my hand, and even then it was feint. Maybe there's variation in batches.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,321 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    How could these guys have hoped to compete with others making similar products?

    OK I know all the handmade angle, natural products etc, but take the 50ml pump moisturiser for example.

    I have been using the L'Oreal Mens Expert ones for years now, and they are excellent. Plus they are often on special offers in Superdrug, Boots, Tesco etc, and you can pick one up for a fiver.

    Even Aldi/Lidl ones are decent quality too, and they are cheaper still.

    Anyone that was handing over e40 for a 50ml pot needed their heads examined.

    I live 30 metres from the coast, and this doesnt smell like any seaweed Ive ever smelled. Rotten seaweed maybe.

    Voya make nice seaweed products. I had to wash this balm off my face before I vomited.

    On the other hand at least they shouldn’t need their face examined because this stuff is faaanastic!

    So you live in the sea?

    I smell a bluff in this post.

    I bought 5 of the products and I'm very happy with them.

    I have and do harvest seaweed myself for food, fertiliser, bathing in and also for treating injured animals.

    Good for you, Im glad you got your moneys worth.

    It doesnt detract from my view that other producers have made much better products from the same raw material. I have on a few occasions bought seaweed products at the full RRP shown here and never had any issues. This balm made me gag and went straight in the bin. Facewash and scrub are ok, I wouldnt pay any more than the discounted price for them, and wouldnt buy them again at that. Personal preference.

    Give me a break. You are a discerning connoisseur of seaweed products. Before I saw this thread I was not aware of the existence of seaweed beauty products.
    Have been using face scrub and to be frank don't know whether its good or bad.

    Unlike you though I do know that it is not meant to be eaten so it hasn't made me gag.


  • Registered Users Posts: 224 ✭✭Giggernaut


    I've used the face wash and scrub as well as after shave balm. Feels pretty great on my skin. Silky and not oily.
    My gf has used the scrub and face wash and likes it. We both agree the scent isnt overly floral but it's made from seaweed. Certainly doesnt make either of us gag. I'd recommend it.

    What expertise do you have or is this a personal opinion?

    It comes across that you think you are an expert and know everything about male cosmetics.


    1. Company has not gone bust. They have decided to close - obviously for commercial reasons, but unless they have been put in liquidation, they are not bust.

    2. Cosmetics and scent are personal choices. Just because you dislike something, neither means it smells bad or are "below par"

    But maybe you ARE an expert????

    The expert in question lives in a lighthouse as they are 30 meters from the sea. The mere sight and smell of seaweed will make them gag, so please respect their expert levels of seaweed discernment.

    Anyone here get an email from their respective banks saying they believe your accounts details may have been accessed by a dodgy source.

    I got the email at end of April and they sent out a new card today.

    The only site I ordered something from on my account was Neuu Skincare


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,067 ✭✭✭✭fryup


    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    ah don't say that :o

    you'll give me sleepless nights


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,980 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Use PayPal.

    QED.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,817 ✭✭✭Darc19


    Much card fraud is from use in electronic terminals such as atms and physical stores where information is skimmed.

    I'd not take an email like that seriously from my bank, I'd be more concerned that email is a fake.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,286 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    My bank would never email me about anything like that. It's always a text. I doubt that email is from your bank.

    Agreed.

    Check the email address that the email sent from and post here please


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,045 ✭✭✭silver2020


    as above, probably a phishing email.

    Never ever click a link in an email unless you are 100% certain of its source and I've never known a bank to send an email about fraud. They'll always call you or text you.

    Scam emails saying your card / account has been compromised are very prevalent. All they need to do is send 100,000 all with same bank details and logos and XX% will go to people who bank with that bank. Then all they need is a couple to click on the link and give sensitive details to scam you out of hundreds


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,484 ✭✭✭Andrew00


    noreply@services.ulsterbank.com

    That was the email

    Anyway I got a new ulster bank card in the post yesterday

    Two months later the closing down sale is still going strong and still being advertised. They must have a lot of stock to clear.

    Everything is more expensive than it was. For example the travel gift set was €6 when everyone here bought. It's now €14.40 using the same code.


  • Registered Users Posts: 89 ✭✭CornettoQueen


    I bought bulks of the face wash and scrub when the prices were the cheapest. Stuff is great quality and definitely seeing improvements in my skin. Was going to buy more last week but they seem to have put the prices up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,071 ✭✭✭CWF


    Sale back on, JUNEGIVEAWAY is the discount code. I got €138 worth of stuff for €25


  • Registered Users Posts: 749 ✭✭✭Breaston Plants


    Almost everything seems to be sold out.

    The other stuff is pretty good though.
