    And on a slightly more trivial note. :D This Asos Beauty sale is seriously hampering my efforts to do just one month without beauty buying!

    I feel a Nov 1st spurge coming on!

    Just seen this on the grabbit thread, thanks to Loeeza

    Boots -swap old mascara to get deluxe sample clinique mascara

    Just seen this advert in the metro - page 7 or 9 online

    As title says.

    http://e-edition.metro.co.uk/2010/10/29/

    I was just going to throw an old mascara or 2 away so will recycle them and take to boots now and get a new one each for me and DD :D

    Thank you for this, I was scraping out remains of my current cover girl mascara this morning, need to pop into Boots later anyway, might get this too!

    Boots, the Metro and Asos are tempting too many of us! Be strong everyone.

    It's only a bargain, if you need it and use it.

  • I did bring my mascara with me today, but didn't bother going into Boots, by the time i got out of uni, i was tired, annoyed and it was raining heavy! Just wanted to get on my bus and get home. Will keep it in my bag incase i end up near a Boots over the weekend, doubtful though.

    DD and I picked up our free mascaras today, took one old full size No17 I wasn't overly impressed with and an old trial one from Dior and she gave us a choice of 2 different types - trial sizes, one for fuller and one for longer, DD picked the fuller one and I picked the longer one. May see if I have any more old/unwanted mascaras to swap.

    Also picked up a freebie from Lush - Colour Supplement, should have been £7.50, that was in DD More mag last week's issue. So 2 ins for me but no cost. :D
