My order confirmation email yesterday said Tues 9th Feb but it arrived today so you may well get a lot quicker then wed 10th too :T

oh well mine says ship date is the 9th....seems odd that they would wait until tuesday to 'ship' it, cos surely that would mean they are just waiting to send it next day lol.....but you got yours so fast.....heres hoping for mine

Ordered with Supersaver delivery yesterday and they arrived this morning!

1 x 250 ml colour care cleansing shampoo
2 x 250 ml colour care conditioner
1 x 150 ml daily colour protector
1 x 75 ml nourishing shine shampoo
1 x 75 ml colour care conditioner

2 x 250 ml ultimate shine shampoo
2 x 250 ml ultimate shine conditioner
2 x 75 ml ultimate shine conditioner
1 x 150 ml detangling leave-in conditioner

1 x 250 ml blonde highlight reflective shampoo
1 x 250 ml blonde highlight reflective conditioner
2 x 150 ml ultimate gloss mist
1 x 75 ml beautiful blonde shine and control spray
1 x 75 ml beautiful blonde straightening balm

First two sets are a fantastic bargain; blonde one is not quite so fantastic if you just bought this and added in postage. Also in the blonde set the 2 x 150 ml ultimate gloss mist, seem to be two separate clear liquids (third of top of bottle). This may be normal and next time I am in Boots I will take a look. If I had ordered three blonde sets I would be disappointed, but overall feel delighted with my bargain, particularly the first two sets!
Thanks for the tip.

I'm pleased I ordered the 2 sets you recommended.

Only thing is I may have got carried away, I read posts about ordering more sets to get a better deal so ordered 2 colour & 4 ultimate forgetting there are 2 shampoos in some of the sets, reading your list I'm going to end up with the following...

2 x 250 ml colour care cleansing shampoo
4 x 250 ml colour care conditioner
2 x 150 ml daily colour protector
2 x 75 ml nourishing shine shampoo
2 x 75 ml colour care conditioner

8 x 250 ml ultimate shine shampoo
8 x 250 ml ultimate shine conditioner
8 x 75 ml ultimate shine conditioner
4 x 150 ml detangling leave-in conditioner

:eek: :eek: I can share it with family anyway but my DH is going to think I've gone bargain mad!

They would need re-packaging for gifts. Each set comes in its own plain brown cardboard box with a label on the front but no other fancy packaging. They would be easy to repackage though with some florist cellophane and a big tie bow. Or into a Basket like a mini hamper wrapped in florist cellophane.

Great idea! (see my previous post), I think this is the best option for me. :rotfl:

Princess-vix - the bottles are similar to the other hairdresser hair care ranges in Boots, eg Charles Worthington. I did look yesterday in Boots and they look the same (around £4-£5 there for 250 ml shampoo).

Cut back on birthdays last year and used gift bags to make personal sets; shampoo/conditioner, mini bottle of wine from Sainsburys, bubble bath, bar of chocolate and a book. Gave it as a present for a pampered night in! Mum and in-laws :A were really pleased!

Mookie - I am sure my husband thinks I have gone mad too; as he trips over the Mark Hill hair box, ALSO a huge Boots box with two hampers in which were £25 reduced to £6.25 (which I don't need), Christmas cards and two toys which are too young for my children, ALSO two boxes of Argos reduced dinner sets by Royal Doulton (not keen on the colour - but what a bargain at £33 each reduced from £80!!). Oh this site!!

Fabulous idea! Love it.
I've used Mark Hill many times before, and was sure I got it from Boots?
Is it maybe discontinued or something?

just been on his site, it looks like all his products have new packaging and the ranges seem to have changed. This ebuyer stuff must just be discontinued lines. I do notice it's not shifting on ebay......

Does anyone know how often you are supposed to use the detangling spray? Gave one set to a friend this morning and she washes her hair only twice a week as her hair is fragile, she was wondering if you used it once between washes or every day? I have no idea as I've never used a leave in conditioner either, so anyones view who has used them would be fantastic. Thanks

cant find anything actually for MH stuff but John Freida recommends:

For maximum results start with the Root Awakening® Shampoo and Conditioner best suited to your hair type. Towel dry. Spray on Health Boosting® Detangling Spray. DO NOT RINSE OUT. Style as usual.

(thinking different make but seems to be the same kinda thing)

Cora - That's a brilliant idea! My OH has 5 sisters and I'm a (very!) poor student so I'm always on the lookout for cheap present ideas - Brought 5 of these (worked out £3.84 each) so even with a few bits and pieces to make up a pamper bag should still come in at a decent price and will look like I spent a lot more!!!

Thanks OP. Just ordered 3x shine and 3x colour. Came to £21.

Probably wouldn't have bothered if they didn't take paypal. Sometimes it's too easy to checkout using paypal

hiya, those who have received the ultimate shine sets and the colour care sets could you tell me what colour the bottles are please.

i'm off into town tomorrow to get some towels from primark sale and am going to get matching colours if possible for hampers.
