Ladies of a certain age... Cough... should always use a really good moisturiser otherwise its like painting a newly plastered wall with emulsion, the plaster just sucks up the paint:eek: :eek: with that horrible slurpy sound and your face will feel and look 'set' You will then get the 'Barbara Cartland effect'

Face
I always use Olay regenerist serum (Don't skimp).
Then the (really good) moisturiser.
Then the foundation,(the highly intelligent one from No 7)
Then the bronzer.(At the moment I use a Revlon one from poundland as Boots changed theirs and put all different colours in it, and I looked like coco the clown with it (I bought 2 as well) :doh:

Re the layers, I only use a sunscreen F50 + a tinted moisturiser with a sun factor. Try it and see. The No7 tinted moisturiser is good for this.

I can no longer mix Serum + moisturiser + foundation + sunscreen as I always feel like I want to peel a few layers off :rolleyes: :rolleyes: and I can never get my sunhat on properly

Re the lips. I use the No7 lip screen (with optional lippy on top)

HTH (My bill is in the post)

Polls Dolls,

I know I'm behind as usual but just wanted to say how helpful I found this.
I have always been flummoxed what stage the serum goes on. Consequently I have never bought any:o despite my mature years, although I do have various samples I will be able to try now.

Also I definitely second the bit about the good moisturiser. Because I have oily skin I have tended to look for oil free moisturisers which are usually more like lotions even the dear ones. But I recently started using the TD moisturiser which is a cream and although it looks greasy at first, I wait about 10 mins and it does sink in and then my make-up really does go on a lot better over it. In fact a couple of the girls at work asked if I'd changed my make-up as I looked so much better!

So thanks for the advice, are you sure you don't work for Boots?

Feeling decidedly amateurish after reading last dozen pages of posts. But have been getting stuff I actually (sort of) wanted rather than cheapest in range.

Shop 1:
No7 Sun cream factor 25 £12.50
No7 overnight face tanning stuff (cannot find on website) £10.75 ish
No7 eyebrow pencil £10
Pampers x 2 £16.00
Farleys follow on £4.90
Mens gwp 0.00

Used email voucher, women's 250 gwp voucher, 250 wyp £30 ACM and 200 mag suncare voucher. Need to examine my bags and receipts as was charged £40odd quid with 1100 odd points back and don't think I got the sun stuff on BOGOF and I as I cannot find the overnight face tanning stuff on website I don't know whether it's excluded from BOGOF.:eek: Really cross if SA didn't point out to me I was entitled to another product. :mad: (She was lovely actually) And I don't think I got my 200pts for buying 2 packs pampers either. They didn't have signs up but I got SA to scan nappies first to check they were two packs for £16. (So annoyed asda have stopped their better offer but DS was getting desperate).

Shop 2:
No7 mens 342 £12
No7 base coat £6.25
No7 bath cream £8
NC sponge bag 75p
Pink box gwp was no handbag one left.

Used 100pt on Boots wash bag from mag (:T ), ACM 350 on No7 bath, mens gwp and email £5 voucher. Could have used £5 PC No7 but decided to save it :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ??

Total about £23 with £8 worth of points.

Shop 3 - much better
Davidoff Cool Water Wave - £5.50 with the voucher
Temptress Nail Varnish - £1.25 with email voucher:T

Completely Bootsed out now and going to bed.:eek:

I've finally realised I will have to give Boots a miss for a while. I bought this

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8751069/Trail/searchtext%3ESTORAGE.htm

and it is rather large and by the time I had a hair products drawer, a make up drawer, a body drawer and a gift drawer the thing was full up!

I've still got an overspill cupboard and it'll take me months if not years to use up all of the products, I think I'm in need of some therapy (not of the retail variety!)

My name is Zoe and I'm a Bootsaholic.

Hi pcg2001
If you scroll down to the bottom of the Estee Lauder pages you should see "Gift time", if you click on that it will take you to a page with a calendar on which tells you when the next instore gift time is.

hth

might need to update my glasses :rolleyes:!! Thanks geordie_lass!!

No Estee Lauder Bonus Time in Boots during June. Have to wait, have to be patient, patience is a virtue. Now I just need to repeat this several times a day!!

Looking back on posts this evening about these lip plumpers, I think I was very lucky to get the reduced set, as I didn't know that there were 2 different sets.

On one shelf the SEL said £4.38 and there were 2 boxes on the shelf. On the shelf immediately below, there were about 10/12 boxes but no SEL price in front of them. I just presumed that they were the same product, and I "think" I picked up a set from the top shelf, but I can't remember to tell you the truth. Anyway, I did only pay £4.38 (in points) and the colours did all look the same to me, but then I didn't know there were two sets and so wasn't looking all that closely!

The code on the back of the one I got for £4.38 is 33-89-774 HTH

So there may not be that many reduced ones left in Crawley after all, but if CPG or anyone is still searching for a set, I am happy to go and look ~ Just let me know.

Bunbun that's lovely he'll love that.:T :T

It's the 1st time I've seen the men's TD range. I haven't seen it here locally.

Rubes, you've been that busy looking for TB bags, and Sanctuary bags, (not to mention berry bags for AM ) that you've lost track. They're all over the place

Ok I am not sure if this is old news and I have just missed it or just my local store doing it but noticed a sign today for
1000 extra points wys £20 on Max Factor
