    juat about got the jist of this ? would i be ok buying 3 x tinted moisturizer or does the third item have to be less money than the first 2 ? thankyou in advance x

    Tinted moisturiser? Is that the BB cream or something different? I was thinking of using their BB cream for holidays, but maybe a tinted moisturiser would be better.

    Bb cream and tinted moisturiser are two different items. I have read that tinted moisturiser is better for normal/dry skin rather than oily/combination so if you have naturally oily skin the bb cream would be best.

    no - because mascara isn't skincare, its make-up only.
    The 342 is for skincare only, but it seems that the BB creams, bronzers and tinted moisturisers are counting as both skincare and make-up - thats the glitch (well, part of it :)).

    Thank you, so I can get any combo of tinted moisturisers &/or BB creams & use the £5 & £3 voucher :-)
    What sort of bronzers are you talking about?

    Thank you, what about cover?
    As a fan of intelligent colour, which is very sheer, I was wondering if BB cream would be heavier?

    Have never tried the bb cream but the tinted moisturiser is fantastic ;) i use it as well as a daily moisturiser with just a bit of blusher and it covers just enough without feeling like face is caked in makeup x thankyou x

    Bb cream will give a better coverage than a tinted moisturiser as it has a primer in it to cover flaws and helps it last longer so it doesn't fade. I think it is only available in fair and medium shade so harder to get a good match.

    The bronzer that is working is this one

    or this one

    As the BB cream, tinted moisturiser and bronzers are counting as skincare and make up you can buy any combination of these (as long as you buy in 2's or 3's)

    If you want to buy a make up item though (such as the foundation) you will need to buy 1 of the above items and the make up item (so 2 items in total)

    I think there could be a problem using two vouchers on a manned till as both the £3 and £5 voucher state 'only one voucher per transaction'. Probably depend on what mood the SA is in :)

    The SA that served me yesterday said it was only 1 voucher per transaction. I asked her nicely if she could try it anyway and she did! She was happy for me at getting a bargain but as you say depends on the SA you get :)

    yes you can - the bronzers are the pallette ones, either the mosaic pattern or the dual colour one (both are on the website).
