    And Buffy's discovery of the day...I tested some of the other Stay Perfect eyeliners on my hand in store last night, and this morning despite my best attempts to remove the stuff I still had Adam Ant like stripes across my hand...So I dug out the Cucumber eye makeup remover and tried that...it didn't work...

    So in desperation I started rooting around in the bathroom looking for something that would work...and came across a bottle of Durex lubricant...OH is peering over my shoulder as I type, amazed that I am sharing this story with you, but anyway...decided I had nothing to lose, and squirted a blob on and wiped at it with a tissue...

    The result? Instant removal :D:D:D

    So there you go ladies, a new moneysaving tip for you - if you've run out of makeup remover, try lubricant :A


    :eek: :eek: :eek:
    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    i think i'll pass on that one! Btw, i wear ALOT of makeup, and i always use No7 makeup remover which i find really good :D Quite oily though. Best to use with cotton pads as it would go straight through a tissue. :)

    The No7 sun stuff counts at full price:)
    The P&P counts as £12.50:(
    And yes the tinted moisturiser counts as cosmetics so yes you can get £5 off:)

    Hi all.

    I often read this thread but rarely post as you always seem to spot things before I do. But this time I just had to say thank you to whoever posted the £5 No 7 email voucher. I've had a quick scan through but can't see who mentioned it first. Although I spent way more than I intended to, I saved a fortune and got the GWP. And now have lots of new toys to pamper myself with this afternoon.

    I also managed to get the last Med GWP which I only new about from reading this thread. So again many thanks.

    I want to say a huge thanks to Polldolls ( I think posted the voucher). If anyone can point me in the direction of original post so I can thank her that would be brill. (7 Month old teething and not a happy bunny so cant trawl!! lol)

    My mum goes into Christies in a couple of weeks for major, surgery. (bowel cancer has returned after 5 years, so full bowel removal, hysterectomy, hernia and new kidney tubes)Anyway, sorry, (I ramble a lot!) :o I went to boots this morning and got 5 nail varnishes, nail and cuticle cream, (nail file, nivea hand cream mini and nail varnish removal pads from bodycare :eek: I know I know but far cheaper!). I'm gonna put them all in the NC GWP i got the other day and I'm going to give it to her when she comes home from hospital, she wont be able to do much for herself for a while but she can sit and do her nails! :j
    Sorry for going on, just wanted to say thank you so much to Polls for posting the voucher (I never get any of them or the mailings). You've made me (and soon my mum!) very happy.

    Treated myself to a few as well, well it would be rude not to!! ;) lol

    Thanks
    Jill
    P.s sorry for rambling on:o

    Yes, if you spend £20 before handing over your printed voucher, you should get a No7 gwp and if you're buying the mascara, you'll get the brush kit, too. If the other items you get include suncare, you can use 200 points from the Boots mag. And I'm not sure, but I think you could use the 250 points on color cosmetics which will be inside your gwp (if you get the women's one) on your mascara?

    Say you got the no7 sunscreen (I think one of the varities is 9.50 and bogof), your total would be £20, then reduced to £15 with the coupon, you'd get 450 in points and two gwps. You could get other suncare, like one glossy spritz and one lipcare, which is 5.75 but the register will think it's 11.50. So in that case you're actual total would be £16.25, and I *think* the printed voucher would work here, but someone else would have to confirm that (in which case your total to pay would be £11.25 after the voucher and still 450 back in points). You could also use a PC coupon for £5 if you had it, but I'm guessing you don't since you didn't mention it. :) It's fun doing "Boots math".

    Edit: Oh, and yesterday I got an NC bag with a reduced headband (and another with a full-priced face mask at 99p).

    i have joined the pc club but i lost my vouchers, well i gave the ones relating to baby things to girls at work with little ones due and kept the useful ones, but i seem to have mislaid them, must look before i leave the house later. dont really need suncare. and cant really think of anything to get price up and i have the ladies gwp already so could get the mens, or just buy the mascara that id ont reallly need either. is it the dream lash or 360 0degree one? thanks by the way
  • Went Bootsing yesterday - had a list all planned but my local boots is rubbish! - its the only one within an hours drive. AMC had no new vouchers for me - none of the ones you are all getting - NO7 bathing, TS Etc.
    I needed to get the No7 Hair Spritz and Lip Screen as off on hols Monday night but local store no longer stocks No7 Suncare.

    Had an ok shop though =
    Sanctury Case - gorg huge mink faux suede travel case full of products - £20 down to £10
    NC 3 Lip Gloss box set with mirror - £8.50 down to £4.25
    NC Strawberry sponge - £0.75
    NC Pink Purse - £0
    NC Pink Purse - £0
    Photo Mounts - £0.25
    No 7 Varnish - £6.25
    Meal Deal - £2.99

    Used
    200pts Photo Frames
    £5 No7 Email voucher

    Total Saved £18.39
    Total Paid £19.49
    Points earned - 276

    Just missed out on using a 200pts when you spend £25 I think - total would have been £24.49 before scanning the £5 No7 Voucher so if I had added 51p would I have got the 200pts?

    No7 counter
    2 x No 7 Eyeliner with smudgers with £5 vouchers - so £2 each
    Used £5 Perfume voucher on Davidoff Cool Wave - 50 ml bottle for £9.75
    Coco Mademoiselle 100ml EDP - £73 :o

    Used points to buy my Coco Mme - my absolute favourite perfume, biggest ever redemption of points in one go for me!
    Hoping 2 new bottles of perfume will mean I will stear clear of Duty free/ perfume shops on holiday.

    Has anyone tried the 100 pts for buying a boots washbag from the magazine with the NC GWP?

    Would love another perfume voucher but cant afford to buy anymore at the moment so thats scuppered!
