Cult Beauty £10 off £50 or more & Strangebeautiful back in stock!

Calling all nail polish junkies!
Strangebeautiful is back in stock at Cult Beauty and now you can get £10 off your orders of £50 or more with the code BOX10. The promotion is valid until the 30th I believe, so act now.


As some of you know, my birthday is next week and having had 4 (yes I counted) breakdowns associated with turning 32, I had to pick myself up from my despair, put on my big girl panties and deal with my aging. HAHA, I'm laughing at how ridiculous I'm sounding now that I wrote it out, but yes I did have several "OMG" moment.

So I decided to treat myself to a night over at a spa hotel, get pampered and feel beautiful and also treated myself to......

STRANGEBEAUTIFUL!!!!!

I have heard so many people talking about this brand for the last few months, and a few people I know were actually given several volumes of this, so of course I had to see what the fuss was all about.
Yes there is fuss, and rightfully so.

What instantly drew me into this product was the packaging.  As I am a slave to minimalist packaging, this caught my eye instantly. The hard and heavy acrylic casing is so contemporary that it just exudes money. Then the name...Strangebeautiful - wow, that is the exact definition of the aesthetics that surrounds me.  I like to think I'm a "strangebeautiful" type of gal.  I'm not conventionally considered beautiful, but isn't their some beauty in even ugly things? I hope you follow me there.  I always say phrases like"it's so ugly it's beautiful".  So yes, the name and packaging instantly drew my interest.  However, it wasn't until I read the concept behind the brand that I knew this was a company that I had to follow.  The brand is so conscious about the importance of colour in everyday life, and art.  This is exactly the type of intellectual, artsy, "nerdy" backing of a beauty product that I have been waiting to see.  I love it!
So I took my hard earned pennies, and I purchased myself this volume.
I have a feeling that I am going to be a cult follower of Cult Beauty.  Luckily, Chanel's new polishes didn't interest me, so I can spend that money I usually allot to Chanel to Strangebeautiful.

For £49.99, click below to purchase these at Cult Beauty website

And if you take advantage of the offer,  you have to make it over £50 for the code to work, so I found this product to bring my total over £50.

For £1.95, the CND Kanga emery board is suppose to be the cat's meow, and I also think it's the cheapest item off of Cult beauty site that you can purchase, and it will take your order over £50 to qualify for the £10 off promotion.

I love Cult Beauty - Proper Customer Service Rave

I am very open and vocal about how I feel about customer service.  To me, Customer service makes or breaks a company and previously I have dealt with tons of customer service and I also applied this to my professional work as well.  If you are in sales, you are representing not yourself, but also the product.  A lot of companies have failed to train their staff with this simple fundamental basics.

I have had nothing but excellent customer service with cultbeauty.com recently.  A product arrived defected, and I emailed them with a video that I took to show the defect, since I'm not very good with mechanical terms.  So basically not only did they respond the same day, but they offered to send me a replacement without having to return the defected product.  That saved me time and trouble to make it to the post office.  I really appreciated this level of understanding, care, and prompt attention.  I opted for a credit back instead of a new product, and they gave me no issues.

How many times have we been disappointed by a company because we got a defective product? And how many times do companies aggravate you further by not rectifying it immediately.  Well at cult beauty, you won't get that.  And as a disclosure, I was not paid to say this, this is actually how I truly feel about this company.

Absolutely the best customer service that I have received in a very very VERY long time.  That is why I felt prompted to write this rave about their company.  Honestly, I'm very quick to jump on a company for any flaw, because I feel that our business is what keeps them alive and I refuse to be treated poorly when I am spending my hard earned money, so it is rare that I give a rave, but in this case, I really felt that cult beauty deserved it.  They took a problem and fixed it and left me feeling happy and content.  I wish all the companies were like this.  Whoever trained the customer service division at Cult Beauty has done it quite well.  Congrats! You just found a repeat customer in me.
