I missed you all..........xx

An idea for using up the haircare vouchers is to make up gift bags with a few items from within the same range. So far i have made up 2 frizz-ease, 1 lee stafford and 1 brilliant brunette. The frizz-ease is the cheapest/easiest to make up as many items in the range cost £3.xx and they seem to have the biggest assortment of products to choose from.
Most people get too many bodycare gifts so these will make a nice change.
Wine gift bags are perfect to give them in as some of the products are too tall for standard gift bags.

I have just done this for my SIL's birthday tomorrow. I made up a bag with 7 Lee Stafford hair care products in and 1 No 7 Glossy Locks. She has got products worth over £32 and it cost me less than £8. It looks a really impressive gift and one I would love to receive myself.

I've just come back from Shrewsbury, no £5.50 stuff left (there were 3 brightening body butters, and 1 eye and lip shimmer, did 2 lots of 3 for 1, as the 641 would have cost me even more (other suncare were 11.50+), but no hair spritzers, wanted one , so got 3 brightening body butters, 1 lip and eye shimmer, and 2 lots of makeup wipes. Returnt a perfume set, was femine not masculine, and because they had to return and resell it, I had to have another voucher, so used 2 vouchers, ended up geting 4 back (the SA gave me one voucher back after swiping it). Also got a purple bag again, and used the 250 extra points on the 3 for 1 offer, also got 2 more mags.

So got:
3x body butter
1x lip and eye shimmer
2x makeup wipes
1x boots mag
1x burgungy bag

Paid £3.50, recieved 300 points, saved £45 ish, got 4 more vouchers, so need to go back sometime to use them.

Can you tell me how you got 4 vouchers please?

Thanks

I know that its not botanics, no 7 etc... but can anyone give me a couple of pointers as to how to secure some gillette fusion razor blades cheaply ?
All help needed, thnks

Simple. Follow the rule of taking advantage of what you don't need and then swapping it for what you do need.

Get some free Botanics (follow the links in Post 1) and take one item only back - without your receipt - to swap for your razor blades.

Boots are usually terribly biased against men where their offers are concerned, but following the above technique, that doesn't really matter!

Morning everyone

Just to advise the £5 vouchers didn't work for me yesterday with any of the Ruby and Millie make-up tools eg eyelash curlers or brushes. I've got enought sun and skincare to last me a lifetime and all I want is some eyelash curlers!!!!!

I got the ruby and millie eyeshadow brush with mine. no problem with that, bit odd how it did not work. Although a lady next to me was having problems. I think it must depend on what you pick up.

Was it the heated eyelash curler? I really wanted that one but no go!! :mad:

If you manage to get one I'd be really grateful - I'd send you a voucher and the extra plus postage...thanks so much

Yeah it must do...disappointing!!!

I tried a Ruby and Millie little tube thing with eyeshadow applicators in too and that didn't work either.
