Boots ootw w/c 17/12 (merged)

Jennie-1987

My 2 have come!!!! Wonderful DHL lady braved the snow for me. Both are amazing, totally different to what I expected and I dont think its as disappointing as people say when you open the box and its definitely heavier than I thought. Both have all the products in and only one of the wipes had the plastic bit detached though it still has a covering of sorts so i dont mind.

They are freezing inside like people have said so i was a bit worried that the packaging might sweat when warming up but i think im over-worrying.

Info: one ordered at 3.18am Fri and one at 2.14pm Fri.

Just picked mine up a day early from my local store (ordered online friday last week) . My dd'S sleigh came in handy to pull it back home thru the snow :beer:

I didn't find out about this offer until around 2pm on Friday when OH told me he'd seen it advertised in the paper. I'd been ill and had totally forgotten about the last OOTW despite looking forward to it for weeks!
After a while I decided I'd order one to cheer myself up, and the estimated delivery date to store was Thursday 23rd, but I got an email half an hour ago saying it's ready to be picked up. I can't get there because of the snow, but hopefully I'll manage to get there before the 2 weeks are up and they send it back and refund me! I don't mind having it as a belated Christmas present to myself though.

Call the store, they will hold it for you xo

Just had an email to say mine has been dispatched to store but having collected things from instore before I know its probably not going to be as simple as popping in and picking it up, but as long as its there I don't mind!

Oh I know, I always have to wait aaaages while they go and look for my parcel. Not sure why, there's never anyone else collecting online orders when I'm there! The record was 20 minutes :eek:

Collected mine this morning; I had ordered two sets but decided I only wanted one after all (for me!)
Still, I left the store feeling very 'Righteous' (Butter? ) because the assistant in Boots had wanted one but missed out on the offer so was delighted to be able to buy my spare one - she rushed off to the stockroom to hide it before someone else grabbed it!
I got mine home, tried a couple of the things and found it them really lovely. I don't understand why some people are saying the smell is too sweet /strong / and the most bizarre one, like someone breathing tea fumes over you (???) because I found everything to be lightly perfumed and very pleasant. The smell reminds me of the old-fashioned stuff my Mum used to use in the 50s which kinda goes with the packaging.....
If I had a beef, it would be that the items, although really good sizes, look a bit forlorn just sitting loose in that big box and if I'd been giving it as a gift, I'd have padded it out a bit. I also would have liked the box to have a fabric lid closure but never mind, the tote bag is nice and you can't have everything - overall it's great value.
I'll definitely be replenishing when these run out.

I hope everyone who gets one is really pleased with it and well done to all of you who did manage to get yours for £25 - there are over 50 sets on ebay at the moment and none are as good a deal!

Because people all smell things differently, and react differently?! So some people like you enjoy it, others don't. I don't think that's hard to understand!

I can't STAND the shower gel or shampoo - and the handcream makes me feel physically sick. I had to wash my hair immediately again with something else once I'd dried my hair! But I don't expect everyone to feel the same as me. After all, the world would be a boring place if they did.

Lucky the assistant could take your one - I'm surprised they don't bag these for themselves when they first come in, they must be allowed to shop there as customers, too?

Ladies, if you think the lip gloss is tingly you should try the Sexy Mother Pucker XL Extreme lip plump.....
