Also when I have found that a foundation is too dark / thick I mix it with a bit of my regular moisturiser tends to lighten and thin it out a bit so it looks better.

Can someone please explain the FCUK half price bag glitch thing to me? I know some of you have mentioned it in the past posts but I can't get my head round it. *** Also, the MENS booklet has a voucher for £2 off the Botanics mens gift set, which was recently put down to £3.75 on the clearance section instore. I saw one of these and got it for £1.75 using the voucher. It was a good bargain as I got the mens bag thing with 3 full sized mens Botanic products all for £1.75. Keep your eyes out if you have any of these in your local Boots. Cheers.

For all of you who are after a soap and glory gwp, my store has got a promotion on some of the s&g items where if you pay for them with points you get 1/3 off.


There were only 3 things to choose from (body butter 666 points, bath/shower wash – can't remember which 333 points, and an exfoliating wash body buffer thingie, 444 points I think).


I spent about 1750 points give or take for four of them and got the gwp, it's lovely btw, think I need another one before I'll open the first so I'll have one just to look at! Check out your local – in mine they were by the regular s&g stuff and there was also a stand with them on by the entrance.


Not a mega-deal but not bad for those of you with points burning a hole in your pocket like me!!!

Hiya mrsbluebear :wave:

As much as I love No7, I HATE their foundations with a passion...always too dark for me. It looks as though you've settled on your foundation of choice, but I'll put in a vote for my favourite foundations - Both L'Oreal - 1 is one of the True Match ones in Rose Ivory, the other is one of the Infallible ones in Porcelain.

Incidentally I think I have found the perfect mix for me for keeping my makeup on all day - No7 P&P day cream, then No7 Shine Control, then one of the L'Oreal foundations, No7 Instant Radiance concealer, and finally No7 loose powder in Translucent. I find with the occasional light dab of No7 pressed powder in Translucent, my makeup lasts from early morning (for me that means 7.30am ) to 10-11pm at night when I usually take it off (with an industrial strength sander )

No S&G GWP in Cambridge Retail Park on Thursday night...just a big gap...

Oh and in case no one has mentioned this already, the Cambridge Christmas Event is 3pm-9pm 23rd October in Cambridge Petty Cury (city centre)

P.S. msmoo, an envelope will be winging its way to you on Monday morning

The FCUK weekend bag is half price with the coupon in the Oct magazine and also when you spend £5 (if I remember rightly) you get a toilet bag worth £12 free. I think there were 2 coupons in the mag so you could do this twice if you wanted. Sorry cant actually remember how much it was to start with as I have never actually seen it in any of the stores I have visited. Judy

Oooh thanks for this, didn't even realise Totally forgot in fact, is it when you spend £20 like the others?

I think it is, I'll have to check the xmas book later to see. If we are lucky, there will be a bogof on something that we can use as a glitcheroo.

Hi everyone, the estee lauder double wear was recommened to me and its great, i used to use no7 but it use to come off during the day, the estee lauder one stays on all day until i take it off. Its worth the extra money too and the bottle last longer too. I got the s&g gwp today its fab. I went to boots yesterday and got some baby milk for my brothers gf and didnt' realise you don't get pinkies with them, so i asked the sa if i don't get one and a women next to me at the tills said is this the voucher you mean and that i could have her voucher, it was really nice of her and i thanked her lots.

do you have to get an invite to get the 1000 points on a christmas night? or is just everyone shopping spending over £50 getting 1000 points?
