hi everyone, hope your all ok:)

I haven't really had much to report lately, what with the clearance stand being removed from one of my boots stores:rolleyes:
Any hoo, i am paying a visit tomorrow to get something to tone down the redness on my cheeks.
I was wondering if anyone had tried the no7 skin calming cream?
Does it do the trick?

There are 2 No7 products for redness ,one called Calm skin and another that is actually a pale green colour(No7 Colour calming make-up base).I think they do different jobs.The calm skin one will attempt to calm down the problem and the green one covers up and tones down any redness.
If you try the green one ,you only need a tiny amount and just dab it on unless you want to look like shrek:rotfl:
I have used the No7 Calm Skin and quite like it but I don't have a huge problem with redness.I have also used the green one and under makeup its fine.

Arrived, full of hope and expectation at Bluewater to find:

P & P serum full price (though it was still half price after midnight)

They wouldn't take my £5 voucher anyway, cos that was off skincare, even though were more than willing to take it last week
They had no Pinkies :eek:

The T & D had a SEL price of £6.86 instead of £5.86, and the SA got shirty when I asked her to scan it, and it was £5.86

SA got really shirtier with me when I bought my boring stuff, cos I produced the over £25 voucher, and then later, relayed this to a group of staff at the No 7 counter - just as I was coming up behind her

I listened to her, watching the other 3 members of staff, and a supervisor, and when she'd finished, I tapped her on the shoulder and said "Excuse me, but have you finished talking about me"

She scuttled off, and I asked if I could see the Manager, and the supervisor, who was the one who was rude to me last week, said "I'm the Manager".

I said I believe you told me last week you were a supervisor. She said that the manager wasn't in, and she was in charge, so I asked if she thought that was a professional way for a member of staff to act.

She said she hadn't heard all the conversation, but she had been there from when I arrived. So I said it would have been nice to have had an apology, and that I didn't come shopping to be upset, to which she said "well, you don't look very upset to me".

I asked what her criteria for "looking upset" was, and what expression I should have. And should I be shouting, or talking quietly, as I was. She replied "as I said Madam, you don't look upset to me".

So I said "I probably don't look like I've got Breast Cancer either, but I have." At this, all the other SAs looked at me in horror. But still this supervisor didn't say anything. The No 7 girl who was packing my stuff gripped my hand, as I now had tears pouring down my face, and she looked at the supervisor, and then at me, and said "I'm so sorry".

And still the supervisor said nothing, and then she looked at me, like she was smirking, so I asked if she wanted to see my Macmillan card, and the other SAs were frozen. Then she said "That's not necessary, my mother died of BC last year".

So I said "And what would your reaction have been if she had come home and relayed the identical story that I'm going to relay to my daughter about what happened today to me?" And still she said nothing, but sniffed a bit.

I thanked the No 7 SA for her professionalism, her courtesy, her helpfulness, and her compassion, and said I would be telling HO how impressed I was with her.

And then I said "Do you know, it costs nothing to say 'I'm sorry' and yet those words choke some people". I just couldn't get out the place quick enough, and sat outside crying for about 10 minutes.

I certainly shan't tell my DD who would go up there, guns blazing, and though I shall compliment the No 7 SA, via an email to CS, I just can't cope with going through the whole thing with CS.

So, miserably, we went to Lakeside on the way home. What a difference. The SA on the No 7 saw me looking at the P & P, and said they'd only heard that morning that it was going back to full price, and had I seen the new £5 vouchers. I said that I hadn't and she said "here you are then" and gave me a Pinkie, which I think looks so gorgeous, and shiney, and such a lovely sort of lilacish colour.

Then I bought some boring things and got another, Dee wombled one left on the floor and I wombled a Wrinklie and Hairy from the baskets, so that made up for the miserable morning.

I still have a No 7 P & P £5, which suddenly can't be used on Body, even if I wanted it at full price! But joy of joys, my twin Shinies are nestling in my brag book, which I shall put under my pillow tonight!

Hi Sandra
I am sooooooooooooo sorry about your day today

I understand that you don't want to ring CS + talk about what happened again .. I hope you do + tell them you want to talk to the manager no one else. I am not amused at the so called supervisor nor the lady who was talking about you as well. It shouldn't be allowed .. this is BOOTS shop we are talking about.

Don't forget .. what goes around comes around .. I always say 10 times harder .. = you give lots = u receive lots + if anyone gives bad then their receive bad 10 times worse.

I do hope you sleep well ( even with your pinkies under your pillow )

Hopefully dreaming of a nice bootsing trip .. 1 with good glitches etc in.

Take care
Love Angel xxx

SS I'm appalled at the way you were treated today. Politeness costs nothing and that supervisor/manager definitely sounds to have an attitude problem. Glad you can keep smiling though, your posts cheer me up and I've learnt so much since coming on this board.

I tried the green make-up base, and your right about using a small amount. The first time i used it i did look a little shrek like. lol.
I think calm skin is what i need. I get a little rosacea, which luckily isn't too bad, but at curtain times of the month it flairs up.

ss - so sorry to hear about your bad day.
You should have said to her "was it the grief of losing your mother to BC that made you such a heartless B***h, or did your mom have to put up with you like that as well?"
It really narks me when staff are like this. They don't actually own the stuff in the shop they just work for the company. The SA's in my store have started taking peoples Advantage cards and actually going to the ACM to print off vouchers to help them with their shopping. think Boots has become more customer focused so you really should complain about her as it is not your first time being dealt with like this from the witch!
Sending you big hugs and lots of karma coming her way!
