Can anyone recommend a product that helps to reduce dark circles under the eyes - ideally something where I can use the £5 voucher on!!!

Thanks for any ideas!!XX

The time delay eye brightner is good as I've been using it. £5.50 so just 50p to pay with the voucher. It's in a small pink & white box.

i had this today also but i noticed it, they tried saying they were bogo half price, i said well if i got one it would have been free so bogof would still be free - he agreed and refunded it, not sure if it was because of a different colour 'champagne' not had one that colour before :rotfl:

then after using 10 skincare vouchers and buying 8 pcks of nivea wipes with nivea coupons he gave me a couple of things free - lovely man, i thanked him for his patience and said see you tommorrow well i thought he was going to cry :rotfl: Then i said i was only joking lol

Thank you for your reply Sarah

I should have gone back when I realised. I'll see what they say when I take them back. I bought the purple cameras so I think it must be an error.

My store had a clearance rack full of Daniele Ryman stuff today. They had clearance stickers on them, but no prices or anything on the shelf. The SA scanned something for me to see what price would come up and asked a colleague and apparently they are now 1/4 of the original price. Is this stuff worth getting?? I vaguely remember someone on here saying it was old stuff and smelling a bit off? The SA did tell me it was stock that was around at xmas but did not get sold and got stored in the stockroom until now.

What do you think? There were small bags with 3 small hand items in, shower stuff and all sorts of other potions and lotions that I am not familiar with. Is any of it any good?

Looking forward to your comments!

The moisturisers are great and the bath oil smells fantastic I love it and bought all the reduced stuff they had!

I bought some No7 suncare stuff (£3 - £4) and the voucher came through. Oh well, and 3 for 2 kicked in as well

I bought 12 no7 reduced (37p) after sun spray (smells fantasic) voucher wouldnt work & the 342 didnt kick in either. also tried botanics self tan kit reduced to £4.98 but voucher wouldnt work with that either

Maybe its down to each individual store

I bought a load of it in our Boots
with the idea of using it as birthday &
Christmas presents.Just out of curiosity
I opened the body spray it smelt yuk
like it had gone off and then started sniffing the
other stuff and noticed everything hardly
had any scent left in it and what you could smell
was not too nice.Luckily they refunded the whole lot
which was quite a relief.

I suppose it probably depends on the specific product, and how it has been stored.
I love the DR stuff, and used to stock up with it when on offer etc. I have certainly had some stuff for MONTHS and MONTHS, and so far is still A-OK.
I especially love the body scrubs - with horsetail & avocado stone I think it was - which is brilliant, and smells so goood that I feel like I've had an aromatherapy and spa experience as well as the exfoliation all in one!!:p

Last night I used some 'old' DR Body Sorbet, and it was quite runny - but it is getting towards the end of the tub, and I have left it near the radiator/window - so probably not the best place to keep it.
Note to self that I must make an effort to use all my DR pamapering stuff asap, not to indulge myself of course, but to make sure it is not 'wasted';)

DOTCHAS HI I was in princess street at about 12.15 today.Heck that store confuses me- the few times I have seen sale items they were upstairs .I ckecked today ( they seem to move aisles where they have sale items) and on the aisle near the exit door there was a jewellery box reduced - wooo !
They do have some of the beauty pamper gift cards- a lot- downstairs at the tills. However for the edinburgh area the only thing in the pamper book in the edinburgh is facials ( dont ask me exactily where ).
Heck the clinique girl in the princess st shop needs to buy a personality- she was so rude to me I went round to spack NK to get foundation- yip even sacrificed my acm points. Thats how horrid she was- she lost out on a £50 sale too ( hope her targets down ) . Most of the cosmetic assistants in there are too interested in chatting to each other and act like the customers are pestering them and interupting their chats ! The friendliest cosmetic staff were the no7 girls .
I also heard they were getting p&p tomorrow.

Thanks Cat72
I get confused in Princes Street too,I spent ages a few weeks ago looking for bath stuff and found it upstairs with the babyclothes /electricals and photo stuff
My favourite store is the Fort in Edinburgh,they had a great reduced aisle last week,a whole aisle!!!!
The SAs on the tills are always jolly and friendly.Never had any problems there.

Hey everyone,

My parenting vouchers came the other day yipeeee, so i went into boots in Aberdeen today. Decided to try get the free changing bag with some huggies wipes which were on BOGOF, but the sales assistant (who looked nice but soon changed when i pulled out all my vouchers) after scribbling over my voucher said i would need to buy nappies to get the bag free, which i clearly knew but just decided to try it as wipes were cheaper and of more potential use. Said i would go back and pick up some nappies instead, so she said she would write on the voucher that wipes didn't count in case i tried it at another till-how rude!! Think she was just annoyed i was getting a great bargain and she wasnt. I went a got a pack of 28 newborn nappies for £3.xx and the bag went through free, yay. Perfect gift for my mum to be friends Dunno when i would use the nappies tho-has anyone tried taking them back without the changing bag and been successful or is that a bit too cheeky?

Also got 2 x the £8.99 boots cameras free using the voucher

Then i headed to the No7 counter to use my £5.00 voucher, however, the glitch that was taking off £16 appears to be fixed as it only took £5.00 off my purchases. There was a 3 for 2 offer still on so saved £17.xx which wsa still pretty good, sadly no P and P left tho, there was like 3 other ppl that asked the sales assistant when i was there.

Does anyone know of any advantage card machine offers? i keep forgetting to check it when am instore! DOH

Give the nappies to little girls to use for dolls. Mich better than the toy ones as you get loads. the prem ones that boots sell are even better as they are smaller.

Anybody who is placing an online order and needs to round it off to £40 then why not try the paris hilton body lotion for £14 with the free watch? Its very nice and a good gift!Just recieved my pigsback voucher, some lunchoen vouchers and also have 4 skincare vouchers to spend on sanctuary stuff-these days im using excessive amounts of the creamy body wash as i got 4 bottles free last week.

Hi Everyone

I am sure whether this has been posted but with the 5.00 skincare voucher you can use it against the NIVEA DNA Hand Cream which will be located with all the other handcream NOT with the NIVEA DNA Stuff. It costs 5.99 but with voucher 99p. Is comes in a box the same as the Nivea DNA face skincare. I cant find a picture at the moment.

Its a very nice smeeling good handcream have used it before
