    Thanks for getting back to quickly - I am off to womble at Boots first:eek::eek:

    You need only 1 SS tillspit and loads of glossy ones (I swapped wombled tillspits with glossy ones :) ) as every time you get tillspit with your purchase.

    Just be careful if get £2 ACM as not all lip things counts as lipsticks, paid huge 1.92 for tinted moisturiser and lip tint thing.

    What do people think of the tinted moisturiser? I'm hoping it isn't too orange...Not opened them as they're for my mum. I got the fair/medium ones, thought it looked ok when I checked the tester but obviously I didn't put it on my face.

    I bought the fair, not the fair/medium, but it doesn't look orange on me.

    Thanks. Hopefully it'll suit her. She hardly wears anything on her face, just likes a slight "glow"/natural look but she does tan in the summer (unlike me, I just turn red).

    How much did you pay in the end? Was it around £15?

    I imagine it's because you got the mascara for half price as it was the cheapest out of all three items and you ended up paying full price for one of the BB creams. you only got the BOGOHP offer applied as the 3 for 2 will only kick in when you have 3 items of skincare (you only had 2, the mascara doesn't count).

    Does that make sense?

    The glitch is that there are 4 items that are classified as skincare and make up and so get the benefit of the 3 fo 2 on skincare and the buy one get one half price. As they are skincare and makeup you can use both coupons as well so getting £8 off per set of coupons not the £5 for skincare or £3 for makeup. You only got the buy one get one half price offer and not the 3 for 2 as you didn't buy 3 skincare items. Presumably you got the first lot for £30.42- £16.40? If you had bought 3 bb creams with the mascara you would havegot it free and and the 2nd one half price

    no, if you want the mascara you team it with one BB cream only, not 2. And then still use your £16 in vouchers.

    Mascara is make-up, not skincare. The 342 deal is for skincare only, which is what the BB creams, tinted moisturisers, and bronzers are counting as (even though they are also make-up).
