just got £25 worth of free stuff off Rimmel by accident!!!
Last night i was watching TV with a few friends and some wine, and that new Rimmel advert came on, you know the one where the bloke wakes up with a number written on this arm. Anyway we wondered what would happen if you phoned the number?
I phoned the number and where given a number to text, which we thought was a bit rubbish but decided to text it anyway. After I text the number I got a free sparkely wallpaper sent to my phoned and a message saying I won £25 of Rimmel Goodies, Which is pretty awesome.
I just thought I'd let you all know because I think its a bit of a secret

Here's the number you need to text 83338, so you dont have to waste your money phoning. Good Luck!

xx

What did you put in your text message? I just tried but got a message back telling me that the message wasn't recognised. Thanks

what do you have to put in the text message?? I want some free make up!!

I dont mean to be horrid but this is your first post on here and for all we know to text this number we could end up getting charged lots of money or anything

Ladies beware of things like this.

this mandypandy posted the same message on this site (see link) and someone replied saying they just got a screen saver back - sounds fishy to me!

also that number seems to be for a screensaver for various charity money giving things! underhand way to make money for charity a virtual robin hood LOL?? or some troll being spiteful!

I think mandypandy was a lucky winner

Have found this advertising site
quote - A great way for new talent to be seen worldwide. Rimmel campaign in the UK. We created phonewear - mobile is a reflection of you and your personality. Rimmel can and built on this. A number was in a TV ad - phone a number -get told to text to a shortcode, got free Rimmel screensaver. You got a silver image - or a ‘gold’ crown - drive you to the MySpace page, with a code, to win 25GBP of goodies.

ooh I was wrong - I apologise mandypandy! just thought it seemed odd that someone who has never posted before came on here to say that - I am very suspicious to my own detriment sometimes! have seen too many cons on chat rooms.

xx

ok i texted it and got a screen saver of a gold sparkly crown. its free to get the screen saver although standard network charges apply.
i havent got any message saying i got free goodies though, i probably wont i never ever win anything lol.

omg i just got a text saying i had won and telling me where to go to claim my prize. I think you get the screen saver, if its a silver image you havent wone if its a gold crown that sparkles you have and you have to wait for your text telling you where to go.
it better not be a con coz im chuffed to bits now lol ill let you know what happens!
by the way i just texted Rimmel to the number
x

ok seems real enough. I just visited the site was asked to enter the mobile number to which i have recieved the gold crown. entered my address and stuff and was told offer ends on 6th october and all prizes will be sent out with in 28 days of this.
:) thats me happy for the day
cheers mandypandy!!

HaHa I just got a gold crown too!! Toni, you convivced me to try and hopefully I will be glad i did!!!

hehe congrats, you will have won if you have a gold crown.
bet there wont be many goody bags left soon every one on here will be doing it and i was just telling all the mothers at school when i went to pick my daughter up.
i just went and bought a scratch card wishfully thinking i might be on a lucky streak.. didnt win though lol.
x

Lucky streak?? - uummm Lottery ticket here I come!!!

just wanted to say i got a gold crown too, last night! just been on the website and claimed my prize :-)

lol alot of people seem to be winning! I hope they do actually send the rimmel stuff out. the site seemed pretty logit to me. post on this topic again when you recieve your bag and ill do the same! Worth the price of a text if you win definatley.
x

just did it got silver first but thought id have one more try and got a gold! better get text to say where to go and claim or ill be gutted!!

cheers i just did it and won!! lets hope stuff come soon xx

Has anyone been emailed to confirm delivery details?

Offer ended on 29/09/07 and prizes sent out within 28 days of this date - thats this week, isn't it?

hi,
i didnt know they would email you to confirm delivery details shortly before they send it, did it say that on the site and i just missed it?
i havent heard anything yet though no, i thought they would probably just send it. I thought it was this week maybe it will be late because of the postal strikes, my post seems to be back to normal though. Ill let you know if i hear or receive anything.

has anyone actually received anything yet?
i havent nor have i heard anything. i went on the actual rimmel site and found a link to the rimmel myspace where the competition was (so it cant be a scam as was linked to it by official rimmel site) but couldnt find any email address to contact them. i found their postal address and wrote to them asking where my rimmel goodies were. that was almost 2 weeks ago and i still have not received a reply!
im quite annoyed about it, i was looking forward to my goody bag. surely they cant say you have won something and not send it.
Toni x

Not received anything either!!! I am a bit peeved aswell thought it would have been here by now.
