    I'd like the pore serum too, so I was thinking just that and a mascara, I have a glossy, a SS and a £2 off mascara, that would work? Lol, this type of shopping involves too much though. I was going to go back around for the S&G then.

    Wouldn't the bogohp with the mascara and nail colour be -
    mascara £9 plus nail polish £3 (bogohp) - £3 till spit and £2 ACM for mascara = £7?

    You're right, I'm half asleep today!

    the pore serum is skincare, the mascara is make-up, so neither of the glitchy offers will work with this combination of 2 items.

    So in one transaction you'd have your pore serum and mascara £14 plus £11?(depending on what mascara you get) and then use the ss tillspit plus both glossies and your mascara £2 off acm voucher to get £18 off the total.

    Went over to Kennedy Centre this evening after work and they don't stock BB Creams - the only glitchy item I could see was tinted moisturiser. I asked about the BB creams and the staff said I would need a larger store like the big one in town. :eek:

    pattylabelle, can you remember if Yorkgate do the BB creams as I want 2 of these and a bronzer?

    If they don't then I will have one final try in Donegall Place at SS tills first thing tomorrow. I'll put other items in my basket and will try to persuade a colleague to go with me so they can distract the SA if I need them to.

    Thanks again. :)

    I think vicx only has the glossy vouchers though ie £8 off, not £16?

    Yes, I only have the £8 glossy voucher.

    I want to purchase the pore serum £14 plus tinted moisturiser £11.50 and bb cream £12.95 but can't see this working when the pore serum (3for2 offer) is cheaper than the glitchy items. The pore serum probably go through at £14

    you're still going to get the 342 as all 3 of those count as skincare, and as the bb cream and tinted moisturiser are counting as both skincare and make-up, you'll get the full £8 in vouchers off the total, so the most its going to cost is £14 + £12.95 = £26.95 - £8 = £18.95.

    You might find the bogohp for make-up works if you put the cheaper items through before the pore serum, so that might take another £6.47 off the total = £12.48.

    Or you could just buy the pore serum on its own and use the £5 off skincare voucher to take the price down to £9 for your one item.

    Thanks, doesn't matter how many times I read this thread I still get confused. So what if I bought the serum and two tinted moisturisers? :cool:

    this is the combination I'm not sure of either - they are all skincare and the tinted moisturisers are make-up also so bogohp could work possibly.

    so, if you put through the tinted moisturisers first, it might go pore serum £14, moisturiser £5.75 bogohp, third moisturiser free, and £16 off in tillspit/glossy vouchers.

    at the worst, if the bogohp doesn't work because the pore serum is the most expensive item of your 3, you'd be paying £14 serum, £11.50 tinted moisturiser, 3rd moisturiser free on 342, and £16 off in vouchers.

    If I buy 2 make up items i.e. face powder and lipstick would these be bogohp and would both the cashier glossy £3 voucher and till spit £3 voucher work in the 1 transaction?
