Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 20 - Post your finds here

Hi All

Not sure if I am posting in the correct forum.

I work for a charity in Oxford which supports and houses vulnerable, young mums.

I aim to put on a makeover night for these young mums as they often have no contact with family and rely on each other for support. In addition they rarely get any time to theirselves.

Any ideas of where I can get some make-up from?

Regards

Ooooh...had a foray to the great metropolis of Leeds today and spotted the MF gift box in the big Bond St store:j , disguised it well with other purchases, including a MF eye shadow duo....whole kit and kaboodle went thro the til just fine, (MF box at 0.00), then Ms Jobsworth decided to investigate, :mad: .....boo hoo, wouldn't let me have it

Sooo disappointed...my first try as first time I've actually seen one......

Oh no!!! :mad: I hate jobsworths

No toners necessary?

But to stay Boots related - it recommends the Cucumber range somewhere ...;)

Watch for the pop-ups. It's like flaming Pop-Up land on that site :embarrassed:

Might have a few spare, cant remember if I kept them after my shopping trip but I can check if you like.

Thanks so much, but Hotpot has already got some ready to send to make my skin all dreamy.

I have sensitive/normal skin and use:

Cleanser: Clarins Water comfort one step cleanser with peach essential water. (or No.7 4 in one 1 wipes when i'm too tired at night)
Toner: Garnier clean sensitive soothing sensation toner
Moisturiser: L'oreal Derma Genisis day (non SPF)
Night cream: L'oreal Derma Genisis night cream - my fave of the lot, its lurvly and i highly recommended it for sensitive skin.

:beer:

I don't use a night cream at all, though I do use Boots Expert Scar Serum on my face as though it were Protect and Perfect ever since someone here pointed out the ingredients are nearly the same. Is that sufficient instead of a night cream (I use it in the morning, actually)?

Here's what I use; y'all can let me know if I should add a night cream and what would complement the other products I'm using!

Cleanser: Olay Regenerist Thermal Polisher -- this really balanced my skin type, which had been oily in places, dry and even a little flaky in others. It heats up when you put it on and is a gentle exfoliater.
Toner: Olay Age-Defying Toner -- this stuff feels great when you rub it on and smells even better!
Moisturiser: Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15. This is what I always used in the States but haven't found any here, so when this bottle's empty, I'm going to use Olay Anti-Wrinkle daily moisture fluid with SPF 15.
Additional cream (applied before moisturiser):Boots Expert Scar Serum (I'm hoping it works like Protect and Perfect as it has nearly identical ingredients). Does anyone else do this?
