GWP (Nothing to disclose)
I have been getting flooded with emails requesting a reveal of the actual Barneys New York LOVE YOURSELF Gift bag, and have consistently been asked whether I think that it is a worthwhile gift with purchase. In a word, YES! I have been shopping this event for years and this is definitely one of the best gift bags is a very long time. For an overview of the step-up gifts click here.
The bags are free with your $200.00 purchase in beauty and fragrance, but they are moving very fast. I was at the Beverly Hills location yesterday and will be there again today and will keep you posted. As of yesterday they still had plenty of bags left. If you are looking to get your hands on this fantastic gift then please feel free to call Julius Gibson at the Beverly Hills Location (310) 276-4400 Ext. 5613. He is ready and waiting-- just tell him that I sent you and he will get you anything that you need from the entire department.

I got my bag today (I ordered online) lovely products, but 5 things were missing from the list above. I was a little disappointed (I especially wanted to try the moroccanoil scrub! ). Does that happen to everybody or just me?
ReplyDeleteHi The Beauty Bug! Sometimes there is some variation between what is ordered online and what one gets in the store. It is also the case that sometimes products differ in some of the bags- that is fairly typical, and I have had that happen to me many times. Barneys receives the products from their vendors and sometimes they send an assortment of different products so not everyone gets the same thing. Sometimes vendors run out of certain samples and substitute other products instead.
DeleteAlso Barneys sold out of the Gift Bags online faster than I have ever seen this time around-- so they must have had far greater demand than supply. So no, it's not just you that this happens to, and my friends who work at Barneys make it very clear that there is no guarantee that you will get everything in the stock photo. Mine was purchased in store, and was pulled for me early in the sale- I lucked out this time that what I got matched the photo, but that doesn't happen all of the time by any means. The best strategy for the online event shopping is to do it at the very beginning of the sale, and for in-store shopping doing the pre-sale is key. What did you purchase? I hope that you love your gifts and purchases! :-)
The same thing happened to me! I am so disappointed! I ordered from my local store over the phone, and I ordered the day of the event as well! I just received my package last night, and realized that some of the goodies I wanted to try were missing. It is a real shame because I chose Barney's over Space NKs because of what was being offered in the bag.
DeleteHi Christina, It is not at all unusual that not to receive all of the products in the stock photo of the gift bag contents. That has happened to me many times as well. Vendors supply products to Barneys and then there are people who have fill the gift bags. As I understand it if they have replacement products they add them in. Part of the problem is that they often nearly sell out things and run out of things during the presale often quite a few days before the event begins. I have found that the best way to get close to what is offered in the stock photo is to submit my order to my SA about a week or so before the event begins-- otherwise I get what I get. Your SA probably had no idea what was or wasn't in your Event gift bag because unless he or she unpacked the whole bag to see what was in there it would be hard to tell because those bags are so stuffed. Having attended this event many many times over the years I can attest to the fact that they are so busy from pre-sale through the event that things can be a touch chaotic! I understand your feelings of disappointment, and I have been there before. It's the lay of the land, and the best thing to do is shop really early and establish a relationship with a single SA who will take extra good care of you (and can get you whatever you want from the department-- not to mention alert you to specials and events etc. Barneys probably didn't have anything to replace those two products with-- they were selling through those bags at break-neck speed and probably ran through all of the products provided by those particular vendors. I hope that you are enjoying all of the lovely things that you got! :-)
DeleteThank you for your reply, this was the first time I had ordered from Barneys. I do love my purchases, I ordered the Sisley black rose cream mask and Sisley lipstick. I also got the Space N.K. bag which is absolutely awesome! I appreciate your keeping us informed about these great deals!
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely purchases you made-- I'm so glad that you love what you bought! I really want to try their new Black Rose oil! I just checked the Barneys website and it appears that they restocked the gift bags. I suspect that this has been a tremendously successful event! I agree with you about the Space NK bag-- it is absolutely amazing! It's absolutely my pleasure to keep everyone informed about these amazing deals! Have a lovely weekend and enjoy your lovely new products! :-)
