    Body Shop vitamin E facial oil, eye cream and face spritz - 3for2 and £5 off = £30 of products for £10... just too tempting. Sorry. :(

    All that for a tenner. At first I was :naughty::naughty: then I thought :drool::drool: back to:naughty::naughty:. Glad I didn't go into Body Shop yesterday.:j:j
    I went away and now I'm back.:j:j

    Yes, the mascara was from Company mag
    Why I Had It: free gift with InStyle mag

    I hope there are more of those high end magazine freebies soon.

    @tara747 I posted the No7 gloves today.

    Does it count if you use vouchers to pay for it? I didn't buy it but am considering getting a S+G perfume, it's reduced to €15 with the 1/3 off. If I use my vouchers I won't have to pay.

    Todays wanted product that I resisted. The garnier under eye rollerball pen with the built in concealer. Looks similar to YSL touche-eclat. It's going on the wanted list.

    Pssst - do you know about the magazine offers thread? (It's for vouchers / freebies that come with magazines, not the magazine subscription offers.)

    There's a couple of good offers on at the moment - I've had to give myself a good talking-to to avoid them. :D

    Lol, me too. ;) Don't be put off by the length of the thread - you only really need to read the first couple of posts for the offers and the last couple of pages for any recent updates.

    My boss had been to Boots at lunchtime and when he came back he asked one of the girls in the office if she wanted what I thought was the receipt. She said to me "you're a bit of a Bootser arn't you" so he proceed to give me what I thought was his receipt and thought ooh he's giving me his points cos he doesn't have an advantage card but it wasn't it was the till spit :mad:

    He did make up for it though by telling me he doesn't think I need any of it anyway :)

    It's a good thing I'm being strong willed at the moment and moisturiser just happens to be the one thing I don't seem to bulk up on luckily enough :D

  • I received a facewash from boots volunteers to trial today, I don’t know what brand but it’s mint coloured with pink beads in it, it smells a bit like S&G skincare but I can’t imagine it is. Anyway I get a little toiletries fix without spending anything ;)

    I played with the testers. It comes in 2 colours, the darker one was too orange for me, but it did seem good.
