Duh ........ just looked again and its for the spa range only

*speed-queen*

oooh well,

i was indeed talking about the standard pink range

silly me well from the green spa range i have the firmanator!

reduces cellulite etc, it was also seen on how to look good naked, and although i have only been using it a week, i would indeed recoomend it

its definatly worth trying, its for your bum tum thigs and upper arms,smells nice isnt sticky, and makes your skin smooth, and is supposed to reduce fat eventually .... no sign of that yet, but its been throughly tested, and i trust them even if it doesnt make a huge difference

for the small amount of money it wad im still happy!

I had a good Bootsing day today too.

First I took back a Olay Regenerist face wash that I didn't like (I told them I was allergic to it), I had only paid £1.50, as I got it with a £5 voucher and 300 points. I swapped it for 11 Q10 creams, (and no I didn't clear the shelf!!). The SA asked if I had bought it with a voucher.....as if!!! I paid £12.20 extra but got 4400 in points and a £5 voucher.

I then gave them a Olay T/E hand cream back as I had wanted to use a 500 point voucher that someone had kindly sent me, but when I bought it my card had gone faulty and the points didn't get put on, the SA had given me the points voucher back. I've now got a new card, so I returned it, then bought it back with the points voucher. The young girl on the till gave me the original receipt back and just before throwing it away, I saw that it said that I had to return the receipt with my card to have the points put on. It was too good an offer to turn down...so I had the 500 points added on again!!.

I wanted to spend my £5 voucher on a R&M lip gloss palette, but the till wouldn't let me, so I bought one with the points I'd just earned instead.

I then went to the No7 counter of another store and got a foundation (13.25), highlighter, GWP, I gave her the £5 voucher and the highlighter voucher, so paid £8.25. (I know I could have made it up to £10 to get another voucher, but I didn't really want one).

Then I thought I'd treat myself with some of the extra points I'd got from the Q10 cream, so I bought a Sanctuary protective 24hr moisture lotion at £11.95 and got the GWP free, paid with points.

I had another £5 voucher, so tried to buy a R&M foundation brush with it, but the till wouldn't let me and the SA wouldn't overide it, I got another 2 x Q10 creams, so paid £14.40, but got £8.44 worth of points and another £5 voucher.

Then I got the SA to try another R&M brush (i-brush), that did go through free with the voucher. So I'm going to ring C/S tomorrow to ask why it is that a £5 brush goes through free, but voucher is not accepted on an £11 brush.

Some of the Q10's will get given to friends, the rest I'll take into the Cancer Research shop for them to make some money on, or give them to my local dog rescue to use as raffle prizes.

I give a lot of the things I get cheap/free away, it gives me more pleasure to do that. I don't need all these things, so I often make up a bag of goodies to give friends who haven't got a lot of money to spend on pampering themselves.
Or I give them to charities to make bit of money on. That way, everyone benefits.

That is an amazing shop. I'd read about the Q10 on here last night and me and my mum went searching for it today at Trafford Centre. Can you tell me exactly what I should be looking for? Is it the night cream? Also is it on normal shelf - marked down as all the ones in Trafford Centre looked to be full price and no mention of extra points. I'm off to Manchester tomorrow so I need to know what I'm looking for!!!!! Thanks....

I was under the impression that the points for the Q10 are added automatically, not with a voucher from ACM. Can anyone clarify this for me please? I'll also be donating any Q10 I manage to lay my hands on because I'm allergic to Nivea products.

Dollardog

Freecyclebilly - you don't need a voucher from the ACM for the offer of the points on the Q10, its 400 points with any Q10 product, but its only the night cream that is reduced to £1.70 from £6.95

Jillybobs - Its on the normal skincare shelf with the Nivea creams, its the dark blue box, the white box (day cream) isn't reduced.
There is usually a sign up saying 400 points with Q10, but there was no sign up in the shop when I bought the last two, they still gave 400 points each though and you don't need to do them seperately, ie if you give them 5 creams, it would add 5 x 400 points.
