    I'm not sure, it had 3 small files with a leather quilted pouch to put them in.

    It says, No7 Ultimate File & Buffer Compact Handbag friendly for perfect shape and shine on the front if that helps. 2 of the nail files have No7 written all over them, and are grey/ silver, the other one is just grey.

    They were with in the accessories bit in Chapelfields in Norwich, not the No7 area, sorry am fairly new to this so don't really know what I should be looking out for

    HTH

    Saw these in LEEDS Albion Street today.

  • has anyone actually used the £1.95 JF serum that you can get free with the hairy? Is it any good? My hair can be a bit frizz-prone, but other serums I've used in the past have just made it look greasy. If the serum's no good, I'd rather spend the 44p to get the hairspray as at least I'll use that!

    TIA[/quote]

    I was told by my hairdresser to apply serum on wet hair as soon as possible to lock the moisture in, then use hairdryer or let dry naturally, then straighten. HTH

    Hmm, I'm leaning the other way on this now! Every one else seems to be putting it on twice a day (I currently only do it in morning). So now thinking need to do it twice a day, so need to buy loads more and maybe get some night cream as well just for good measure!!
    Told you I had no will power :rotfl:
    I'm off now to try my sumptious bath soak :D

    It is tempting! But I think you can overdo it with products, as Ninetails said about her skin getting over-moisturised. My skin without the serum actually felt moisturised enough using a day cream every morning and a night cream just a few times a month. I'm trying the serum just to see what it does, but I think doing it twice a day every day and night cream every night too might be a bit much. I guess it depends on how dry your skin is, but if it's not too dry you might not need as much. Of course, you can get more and if you don't need it twice a day, then you've got two years worth put away, lol. I wouldn't get more than that as I doubt the ingredients will be fresh and lovely forever.

    My Oh is looking for some of the mens glitches.
    I have read through the thread and cant figure out what the Gilette putting thing is and how to get it.I keep going in store and standing looking at the gilette aisle like an idiot waiting for it to jump out and scream " freebie" at me.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Nearly choked on my Bombay Mix:rotfl: :rotfl:
  • I bought the sanctuary travel set from a small shop yesterday. It was reduced on the sel to £1.72 it was on the 342 so £3.44 but I used £3 moc from Christmas set so 44p.
    I went into a larger town (Ipswich] store in the afternoon price on sel was £6.xx had them price checked and they were £6 . The two shops were about 8 miles apart .hth

    Yet another query for our expert bootsers:

    I've managed to get rid of most of my hairys, but still have wrinklies to get rid of. What's everyone spending these on? Anything cheap apart from the olay regenerist face wash?

    TIA. I promise I'll get the hang of this bootsing thing eventually!

    Hi,

    Not an expert but I have bought.........
    ROC wipes £1.4x
    ROC Wash £1.6x
    TD gradual tan (as mentioned by others) £0.86
    TD radiance boost £1.6x
    TD are ones in sort of shiny brown boxes.

    HTH
    WBx;)
    PS Sanctuary travel bags full price in both east kilbride stores, lots of them though.
    P&P serum lasts me 4 weeks. twice a day.

    I actually prefer the serum to the day/night creams, as it feels light and I feel like my skin is breathing through it. I still use the day/night creams, but only half the week. The other half of the week, I just use the serum, eye cream and tinted moisturiser. I think using the day/night creams continuously and make up is just a recipe for spots as you're just not letting your pores have some air and your skin breathe. Just using the serum I feel like my skin is still breathing....:confused:

    As for how long it should last, not sure you've really had a difinitive answer! I've been using it a while, and have again just worked it in my head - and pretty sure around 6 weeks at twice a day - again :confused: Unsure now whether I'm using too much!!! Wondering if Mrs Buffy might look in, cos I know she's been using it for quite a while so would be a good person to offer an opinion.

    Was wondering what people were buying with the moc from the xmas set. Glad to see you can use on reduced stuff even if only with reduced SEL rather than clearance stickers.

    Ok, Mrs Buffy, if you are around, do tell how long a 30ml tube of no7 serum lasts!

    Hi everyone- not been around much the past couple of days. I am still 16 pages behind (catching up)

    Had a fabulous day at Boots today :beer:

    Came away with 9 full carrier bags :o Will post details when I have caught up!

    Just wanted to drop a note to say that I have 8 double wrinklies and 3 single skincare wrinklies left that I won't be able to use before they expire. :eek:

    I hate waste, and was wondering if anyone knows what I could do with them? ;)

    On a different topic- the Posties are working pretty quick at the mo ;)


    Love and hugs to all the Bootsers xXxXxXx
