Updated -11th September 2008

This post contains all the updated glitches, offers etc and post 2 contains Q&A so please read the first and second posts of this thread for any answers you need. This will save a lot of duplicate questions on this thread.

All Boots seems to have different policies. What happens in one does not necessarily happen in another. :mad:

Successfully getting some of the better glitches often depends on if the SA you pick is willing to try. Its sometimes sensible to buy some other things to 'disguise' your bargain. If the SA won't put it through, please don't make a fuss - they are only doing their job. Just try again another SA / store / day. It is a good idea to try and make a friend in a SA if possible.

Please remember if you are going to comment on a store or sa being rude etc please do not mention the name of the sa or the shop/area.

Please also keep in mind that glitches are for everyone so dont feel the need to clear the shelfs of hundreds of items.


Thanks

Something has went wrong with my font? Although it appears the same name as before.

Looks fine to me ?

Hi everyone, just wondered:

Just wanted to ask: Has anyone used the
No7 Stay Perfect Smoothing & Brightening Eye Base ? What the heck is it ? (I mean - doesn't it just disappear when you put your eyeshadow on?).

I use clinique eye base and it goes on a pale beige colour, i then put my eyeshadow over the top. It keeps the shadow on longer and it gives it a nice smooth area to go on (not that my eyelids are wrinkly or anything.) It also makes the colour more vibrant.

EDITED - Re the font i was just talking mince it was fine after all.
