    Anyone sold any? :rotfl:

    I actually think this was set up rather destined to fail from the start. If the Zoella cosmetic / bath items are exclusive to Superdrug and thus she was limited on what she could develop for the Boots range - that's already a difficult scenario. But then add in the fact that her 'lifestyle' is about cosmetics (as far as I understand) it kinda makes you question exactly what she was going to do with a 'lifestyle' range in Boots.

    I checked the Ebay completed listings and not many have sold no, I think one had a bid at £25 but definately not many buyers for them. I wonder if people bought them on 70% day thinking they'd get a profit; I'd be kicking myself now :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Christmas 2016 I remember she had stationary in Boots-Jotters and boxed pencils , I can't remember what else-but a lot of it in our Boots ended up in the 90% that year too, my mother picked up a few of the jotters and pencils to put in the present cupboard. I've seen some of her bath stuff listed on Feel Unique.com the same as sold in Superdrug so I don't know how limited her range is?

    I never managed to get out on Friday or yesterday so never got to the 90% off sale. I've just had to pop to Speke to pick up a parcel from Next, and thought I'd have a nosey in Boots, not expecting there to be anything left more than 48 hours after reductions went live. Well, there was still half an aisle of those flipping Zoella calendars!! Nothing else, at all.... But I'd say at least 40 calendars! They just can't get rid of them!

    This is why I'll be surprised if Boot's have a Zoella range this Christmas 2018...

    One of the problems last year was there was a delay in the delivery into Boots warehouse of the Zoella range, This then led to a delay into stores.
    The other issue was also that it obviously wasn't cosmetics just other stuff with her brand printed on and then the price was upped.

    :rotfl:My mother starts the next Christmas on Christmas day it's self! She sits down after dinner while we watch TV and makes her lists. Only once in my life have I known her to not have Christmas gifts done by the first week in December and she vowed never again after that. She has the food done by the second week. All planned like a military operation:cool:
