    Yay!!

    It's that time of year again :)

    I've been looking at the gifts online and without a guide I feel abit lost so I cannot wait for it to come out! Things I have noticed -

    1, S&G big set this year looks much better than the last 2 years ones. I think I will actually get it this year as I'd use most of the items in it

    2, the No7 big set...£75?!?! !!!!!! is that about. Can't see that selling massively either even on OOTW it would probably still be £35, more than it was last year but we shall see

    Bring on Xmas :)


    Don't quote me on this but I'm sure in recent years the No.7 Christmas set has been £100 before the offer of the week took place. I think someone on here spotted a glitch and was able to get them on 3-4-2 when they were OOTW meaning they got each set at 65% off before Christmas- ebay was full of them that year!

    Ah yes they normally do 2 sets OOTW, the first one is normally the protect and perfect gift set and doesn't actually have that much stuff in it,and I don't think is part of the Xmas range. The one which everybody waits for is the Xmas one and comes in a hat box (or vanity case I think on some years) and is normally the OOTW the week before the big S&G set :)

    I'm eager for the gift guide too.

    Can't find a No7 Lift & Luminate set online like they have sold for several years now. And several No7 sets have mismatching pictures and descriptions.

    Always wanted one. Is it any good? Can't find reviews anywhere.

    I got one last year. it is one of the best things i have bought. I buy the replacement rollers from e.bay (new) :). I have always had ugly feet with dry skin, now I just have ugly feet.:rotfl:

    Been and bought one of the OOTW this morning. It contains the micro pedi fitted with a blue roller and 3 full size (10ml) Nails Inc colours.

    Uptown - a nudey coral pink.
    Oxford Gardens - A clear based gold and holographic glitter. It's quite fine and could be used as a top coat or alone. I stuck one coat on my thumb nail with nothing else and then proceeded to wash the dishes and the windows and it's still intact.
    kensington High Street - A deep rich creme burgundy.

    The boxing is black and silver with black tissue paper inside. The only thing I wouldn't like about giving it as a gift is that it states on the cardboard slider
    INCLUDES THERE NAILS INC POLISHES WORTH £34.00.
    I dislike pricing type things on gifts.

    Off to Lidl on Thursday to pick up some rechargeable batteries for it.

    No 7 Christmas set was £65 last year.
    An increase of £10 is quite steep
  • Last year, the Juicy Couture gift set was the first OOTW.
    It was advertised in the brochure sent out, along with my money off vouchers.
    Has anyone received their Boots vouchers yet?
