Sorry............ I know it's a bit off topic, but reading your posts makes me want to ask your opinion on something if you don't mind?

I was just wondering about the quality of the No7 brushes? How would you rate them perhaps? I normally use MAC ones, but could do with being replaced now. I bought a set of R&M ones a few months back- but really wasn't impressed by them as I found them quite rough compared to my usual ones, I also had a struggle to use them to put on eyeshaddow as the bristles just seemed to absorb the powder rather than spreading it evenly.

Are they worth buying a set, if possible? Thank you :-)

I was bought the eyeshadow brush as a secret santa gift about 10 years ago, I have used it everyday since, it has been washed a milion times and is still the softest, best eye brush I have ever used, it even applies cheaper eyeshadow nicely.

I have several of the brushes and I think they are brilliant, lovely and soft. The eyeshadow brush is excellent, it blends brilliantly, definitely a good buy especially as it is only 63p when you use a blinkie, absolute bargain.

The above applies to the full size brushes, the same doesn't apply to the mini set which is £7.83, cute little set for your handbag but the brushes aren't as soft.

been searching everywhere for herbal essenses, since it was reported they were reduced. I finally found some this morning:j

I bought 4 x brilliant shine shampoo and 4 x shampoo for colour/highlights. Spent £5.84 and got back 800 points:D no blinkie though:( they had run out. This was in paddington station. I found some more reductions while I was there! boots lavender shampoo is reduced from £1.36 to 34p and boots sea kelp conditioner is also reduced from £1.36 to 34p - I bought some with points:) I had the blue med bag price checked as someone said they've seen it for £3 odd, but it was still full price:rolleyes:

The order of everything in my .com basket has all been changed around?? And the code I had for extra points had been removed?

Blinkin' gremlins, funnily though for the first time ever the Roary racing car track has gone from my basket, it was one of those items which kept multiplying whenever I looked away. :rolleyes:

Could this mean they are sorting out the site??
hope so :j
