    There's another one (called On your Face or something) which I bought with the Tart Art bag, both at full price and paid for with points *faints* lol, and bought another at half price (£5) but I'm only joking about using the Shooz bag for make-up Jellybaby ;)

    If I dare, and I can get my OH to take a pic, I'll show you what I actually use. But if not, it's an old Next see through bag that I've had for years, a Macy's bag (because it says Macy on it :D ) and a gwp No7 bag :)

    I use the Shooz bag for keeping hamper stuff in, like tissue, tape, scissors etc. Can't remember where I put the Face ones, or the Tart Art bag :o but I can't miss the Shooz bags ..... all 5 of them :o :rotfl:

    I do use the Shooz one for make-up..have even had to open up the extendable bit at the bottom...Does this mean I have far too much make-up ? This is without all the new No7 I have bought:eek:

    I've seen most of them in all the local stores, and bought the hanging ones, (3.00 ish) but I'd wait until they're reduced. I'm sure they will be btw, but I think they're hanging on to see if Amelia's Mum pays full price for the holdall ;)
    I am point blank refusing;) ...nettienoo got one for £2.50 so that is what I am willing to pay. :p

    If I go in over the next couple of days I will take a piccy of the stand with them all over..... just set out to taunt me I think!

    Taunting you AM? Don't they realise they're taunting all of us with you wanting that holdall so much? :rotfl: I can't go in Boots without checking the price now ;)

    Afternoon ladies.

    Could someone help me please? I went in to Boots this morning and tried out several things on the back of my hand as I still had 2 of the No 7 vouchers to treat myself with. Anyway, one of the things I tried was a liquid eyeliner in bright blue. I'm assuming it was a stay perfect one as I have a feeling it would 'stay perfect' for a week.

    I have tried liquid soap, clarins eye make up remover, Time delay facial wipes and even resorted to S&G Peaches and Clean :eek: but I still cannot get the blue streak off my hand.

    Anyone got any suggestions as to how to get rid of it? V glad I didn't buy it - imagine what all that would have done to my eyes:rotfl:

    I can't believe the trouble alot of you ladies are having when removing that eyeliner. I am using a Boots expert wipe on my eyes without rubbing too hard and it comes off easily. Strange really because the expert wipes seem really gentle on the eyes, no stinging unlike the TD ones which sting like mad and don't remove it:rolleyes:

    i paid full price for my holdall i know i should'nt have,but it had been calling to me for weeks so i gave in and bought it.

    i really like the hanging one,looks the nicest outta the set.typical my stores only stocks the holdall in this range:(

    holdall isnt that great to be honest,mines already full(only samples in it too)
    im not allowed to say what i think so ner!:p

    thank you all for your replies. It took quite a while to stop laughing at passion8 and buffys suggestion re: lubricant. When I finally calmed down I managed to find some baby oil.

    Can't believe that worked when half a peach stone didn't but it did. It didn't hurt my already sore hands and is probably ok to use around the eye, as long as you are careful.

    Thanks again all x

    Well I would be hard pressed to lose anything in there wouldn't I? Is that why you like it? Does it have a smaller bag inside it? I quite like the idea of keeping all my eye stuff separate and creams in the main part.

    Sorry, I forgot to answer the question lol.

    They sort of unroll but have a large compartment at the bottom, and two decent sized ones at the sides. They all have zips, and the side compartments have poppers on them to keep it compact.

    They probably are great for storing make-up btw, but I'm the type of person that sits with a little makeup bag on my knee and somehow I can't picture that big thing sitting on my knee ;)

    But *Amelia's Mum should be able to help you more :rotfl: ;)

    ETA: *or sonee2405 :)
