    Have you got a picture?

    Also, can SA actually say "there is something wrong, you can't have all that for that price?".

    To clarify the Botanics offer. It does not matter how many "cheaper" Botanics products I buy, I will be able to choose a Botanics moisturiser. So in theory (not that I would) I could buy ten cheaper ones and get ten moisturisers for free? Or is there a limit?

    there is no limit to the amount of cheaper botanics you can get :)

    I was in Warrington Gemini store this evening and I was hovering in the NO.7 section with 2 bottles of sunscreen when the very helpful NO.7 SA came over and stated "did you know that the No.7 suncare is on a "double discount" at the moment?" - I pretended to look puzzled and asked her to explain. She said that as the No.7 suncare is going to be re-packaged then they were on a 342 and BOGOF to get rid of them before the new stock arrives. I said that there was no BOGOF signs up and she said it was a "Silent promotion" - no so silent if she reads MSE!!!

    Anyway, I didn't know about the 641 offer then and just bought 3 items at £11.50 and paid £6.50 after £5 NO.7 voucher and got another voucher.

    I don't know what to make of this, if some of the SA's know about this I can't see why others don't and are being obstructive. Anyway, I may be brave and try the 641 tomorrow - if I do it correctly I will get double what I got today for roughly the same price (I think!).

    I tried to get 2 suncare+ 1 makeup yesterday and the SA refused to even try it for me....I was really insistant that it worked the day before....but she point blank refused :confused:

    should i complain to boots or just accept I wasnt lucky this time?? :confused:

    Has anyone tried Eyebrow Wax yet? I mean doing it yourself rather than professionally. If so, any recommendations or no-gos?

    Thanks.
