Nothing to do with our forum.

I sussed it was from PTS

I think the old tarts are too wise to know that people get worked up, a fuss is made, nothing happens blah blah...as opposed to panicking :rotfl:

Can you get a gwp mixing and matching ladies and mens no7, I know you can choose what GWP you want but wondered if this would work..

3 x No7 mens @ £6 342 £12
No7 Twinkle Lip gloss £9.50

and get mens gwp? tia

I shouldn't see why not hun, the profit should be all the same to No7, so i'd most certainly give it a try

I do love the Twinkle lipgloss, and they are actually only £9.00 instore too! Result! :T

The trinket set is from last year, little rectangular case with mirror inside - comes with three interchangeable thingys - solid perfume (well they called it solid perfume, I'd call it perfume slop but smells nice ), lip gloss (very nice colour, deep metallic red/burgundy) and a gold highlighter (not unsimilar to a Benefit product...think it's Bathina Body So Fine or something?

Hang on....the trinket thing isn't just three lipglosses?!? I used the clear one on my lips!!!!

Went to Cardiff Queen Street Boots tonight, went to EA counter for free eyeshadow where there was a lady waiting with a coupon too! But when the SA appeared, there were no eyeshadows in stock and she said they wouldn't get any more in either

Got a S&G gwp for a fiver, fancied trying out the stuff after what everyone said. There's a few left on a stand next to the S&G section. Also used my last pinky on the purple No7 eye pencil (I now have gold, blue and purple :rolleyes:) not much stock left of the new Xmas make-up. Got 350 points for a £2 spend.

I did try and use the blue voucher with an Olay hand cream for £4.97 but it didn't go through. Not going to bother with Boots until sales now (or a good glitch) but will probably keep an eye on the clearance sections if I'm passing by

My 2 grand-daughters, who are cousins (aged 8 and 9) have both emptied their piggy banks, and asked me to get something nice for their Mummies for Christmas.

One of them said I could get anything, "as long as it's pink", and the other said "Mummy really likes that bath stuff in an orange bag called Mandy something".

Does this ring a bell with anyone, and do you know if Boots stock Mandy Something?

Any clues would be gratefully accepted!

Sanctuary do a range of orange stuff called Mandelular(?sp). It is lush And Sanctuary is on 342

Edited - realised that question has been answered above - that'll teach me to finish reading before posting

As mentioned in above post, I have no problem with newbies, or tarts.
Just thought it a bit weird that loads of posts appeared when 'going underground' was mentioned.


Pegginout, the thing is loads of posts have appeared from everyone (regulars, lurkers and everyone in between lol) since all this "underground" talk started. People become attached to the thread whether they post or not, and i guess its the threat of it not being around anymore (which it will!) that has prompted people into posting and voicing their opinions. I don't think there's anything weird about that IYSWIM.

Melgirl: according to the link tiara posted you can send gifts to more than one child

Right...catching up now...

Hey NIMI :wave: Always nice to see another Cambridge Bootser Yep, clearance in Cambridge Retail Park can be really good sometimes (think they've shifted all the water filter cartridges now :rotfl: ) Have hopefully just about managed to clean them out of one of the 17 eyeshadows in the old packaging ('Style Queen' - I use this as an all over base from lids to brow line and then shove everything else on on top ) Agree about parking costs in Cambridge - been in the Grand Arcade car park once - spent ages looking for a blooming pay kiosk for the car park ticket that actually worked :rolleyes:

Hey yummy-mummy-cat :wave: Sounds like the bag I'm thinking of - but keeping my fingers crossed that I find it in the sale after Christmas...can't really justify £15 for it at the moment as lovely as it is The trinket set is from last year, little rectangular case with mirror inside - comes with three interchangeable thingys - solid perfume (well they called it solid perfume, I'd call it perfume slop but smells nice ), lip gloss (very nice colour, deep metallic red/burgundy) and a gold highlighter (not unsimilar to a Benefit product...think it's Bathina Body So Fine or something? ) Original price was £15 :eek: but I got one on 342 after Christmas at £5, and then two more for £1.50 in clearance in the summer. Problem for me with the trinket is that you can only put one thingy in at a time - so you could take your lip gloss out partying with you but not the perfume and so on...Probably designed by the same person who thinks the current ladies' GWP "clam shell case" is stylish :rotfl:

So Mr BTVB went back to Boots after work...

1x No7 Shine Control
1x No7 Instant Radiance concealer
1x GWP

Something like £13.25 to pay and he didn't hang around for a skin care till spit GWP is now going on eBay...got to pay for my No7 habit somehow

P.S. Very wise words from pollsdolls as usual :grinheart

i paid for mine with points so wasnt so bad haha, as for the trinket thingi it sounds lovely.would all stores have these or just the ones that had old stock left. i wouldnt mind one or 2 for £1 each lol

I really want this as it looks pretty, but i bought the no7 liplicious before and didn't like it.
