I think Buffythevampirebat reported earlier that Durex lube works well at removing waterproof make-up :rotfl: probably cheaper than No7 too.




Trouble with using the lube it might make you look "HARD":rotfl:

Can someone tell me if the No7 Naturally Sunkissed firming gradual tan is part of the buy one get one free No7 Sun promotion As I purchased one thinking this only to be told it wasn't by the SA.

Think SA may be correct, even though it is part of the sun range...got a different thing from 'sunkissed' range the other day and it was not BOGOF and 200pts frtom mag would not work either. HTH

I got this last week and was BOGOF, it's only £9.?? so doesn't quite make to 20 quid for GWP, now would be ideal time to get it along with a cosmetics item using £5 email voucher. I also used 200 points mag voucher for no.7 suncare on this item.

My six year old made me buy her some of this to use for "mermaid tattoos". So far it's stayed on through a one hour bath plus scrubbing with a body polisher.!

Just a quickie for all those with the emerald eyeliner (I've got all the colours now!!) - I use Boots Fragrance Free make-up remover (it's about £1.49 - often on 342) and this removes everything - mascara, eyeliner, liner pens etc. Works with all the colours too!!

quick question please?
does anyone know if the mens 342 can be mixed across ranges? eg. something from no.7 and 2 other items from boots time delay range?
I wanted to do this yesterday and sa said no! wouldn't even try it!
Also she refused to take both gwp 250 points vouchers - i had mens no7 (h&b wash) and a cosmetics item, also wouldn't even try the 350 points no7 washing, said it ONLY applied to the womens 'peach packaging' (snooty moo!!)

oops! not so much of a quick question after all - sorry:D

Here's a clip on why flip-flops are bad for your feet. The program dropped the ball at the end though, because instead of showing choices of flip-flops that are good for you or that offer athletic support, they just showed what's fashionable and said some offered more arch support. They did mention Fit Flops, but didn't say if they are better for your feet/knees. Since a lot of you are buying fit flops (and regular flip-flops) at Boots, I thought this might be interesting.

Does anyone know of a good slide (the kind that you "slide" your foot into that doesn't have a thing that goes between your toes) or a flip-flop that is good for someone with joint problems? And any trainers with really good support?

The 342 is only on men's no7, so there's no way to mix across ranges as the others aren't 342. She should've taken the points vouchers though.

thanks for that!
Hmm thought lots of mens stuff was 342, there were signs all over the mens ranges.
I thought she should've taken both vouchers!- she tried giving me the mens one back, so i said (ever so politely!) hm can I have the ladies cosmetics one back please because I'm more likely to be able to use that one again - , -knowing full well that a few £5 email vouchers were burning a hole in my bag!!:rotfl:No chance of using the 350 washing and bathing one again tho!

skibster, I have a pair of Kickers slides, similar shape to these


This pair is a mens style but is the only pic I could quickly find that illustrates the shape. The way that the upper is cut, plenty of leather well back towards the heel, means that they are very supportive and you don't have to screw up your toes to keep them on.
Also there's a very slight heel which is better for your back than flatties.
I also like the firm soles for the support they give.
I have a niggly back and always try to choose sandals with these features as I find them the most comfortable to wear.

Looks like the Glamour/Marie Claire offer has been stopped

Is it!

And I would have expected to have been able to mix and match

I did it with FCUK and Hackett sprays when we had the Free Hackett ATM coupons so I'm sure the sa was wrong :mad:

That's why only the mens No7 is 3for2 because it's part of the general mens 3for2 offer
