Oh yes - I'd forgotten the Boots event - my invitation is for the Kingston branch! It takes me about 40 minutes unless it's a Saturday and the traffic is bad!

Anyone get anything from Boots then? I have a double points voucher that I always forget to use and I never remember where my Boots card is. I bought a Revlon Colorstay Lipgloss in Sizzle. It's a really nice coral colour that the model in the promo wears. It's also not thick, too tacky or gloopy. I got the Leighton Denny polish in coral from the cover of Harper's Bazaar. Anyone see the Mac Marilyn colour story? What do you think? I just watched My Week With Marilyn so was paying careful attention to the shades they used. It's just porcelain skin, brows, the spot and lip colour. I really want to see all the lipstick swatches especially this dark true matte red For my skin tone, everything else is a skip.
well the only thing that i wanted was weekend getaway lip/cheek thing from mac and when i went to the store it was sold out 
i'll try and find it online now. i did however buy channel's calypso gloss and a cleansing lotion which set me back about £55 or something. But they are the only beauty products i have bought this month. Saving my money for the heavenly creature mac collection!

Aww I have it and I hate it. I have pretty dry lips that only stay moist using my homemade lipbalm and the Casual Colour pots just seem to be really drying especially to the inner edge of the lip. It also settles into lines and my lips look sort of crumpled. I also don't like the colour unless I doctor it with a lip pencil. Pity it is potted or i'd gladly get rid. I wanted to look at Chanel Calypso but haven't had a chance,seems popular. I'm confused by HC after seeing the Yuki channel swatches. Everything I thought I wanted I.e Earthly and Aurora looks nothing like I expected. I think I'll wait for Karla Sugar, Allura and Temptalia before choosing my picks.well the only thing that i wanted was weekend getaway lip/cheek thing from mac and when i went to the store it was sold out

I actually got some Boots vouchers this time I haven't had a chance to go to Boots since, though, but I am thinking I might go on Wednesday, after my dance class, to take advantage of the 750 points per £30 spent offer as it's better than any of the vouchers I received. Does anyone know if this is online as well as instore?
I'm not too impressed by the Heavenly Creature collection after having seen those swatches, but maybe that's a good thing as it means I won't be tempted to spend as much. I know I want 2 or 3 of the lippies and maybe 1 or 2 of the lipglosses, Star Wonder MSF and maybe Ring Of Saturn

oh that is slightly worrying. i tend to get dry lips too so that is making me nervous! i literally just ordered it from debenhams as well as that new extended play mascara (why not eh?!). I guess i shall try it and see when it arrives
Calypso is pretty popular - perhaps because it's actually pretty pigmented for a glossimer. usually they are very sheer but this one looks fabulous and almost has a jelly like texture on the lips. plus glossimers always last a long while on me which is another bonus. so although pricey it was worth it

What put me off those pots was the size, there is no way I'd ever finish off anything that size and I can see it drying out/going off. I prefer my blushes to be powder and my lip products to come in a tube.
Massively excited about Heavenly Creature though, can't wait to be able to get all the mineralize stuff!

I agree with absolutely everything you said, especially about HC

Hello, I am flying from Gatwick in 3 weeks but am not very well off at the moment. Will have to try to fit a few things on my credit card
However I am flying to Edinburgh in August for the festival. I will be loaded with birthday money and wondered if there was a MAC counter at Edinburgh airport?

Does anyone know if the Boots points offer tomorrow is on at all stores or only the larger ones? The letter I had said my nearest store that had "an event" was Kingston, but there's a Boots on the high street here and I don't actually want to go into Kingston tomorrow as the John Lewis sale only starts on Thursday and I don't want to go twice in a row. I know it's online too, but the Boots website is pretty rubbish imo, so I'd rather not bother with it.

How did you find this? It seems it's Kingston or Guildford for me then. Or online. There's nothing specific I really want, just wanted to pick up some basics like shampoo and cotton wool.
Hmm, here's the list of 'participating branches' that Boots site links to, and there are none anywhere near me

I looked at Boots' Facebook page and they had this link www.boots.com/summerevents
If you buy online, though, you have to spend £50 to get 750 points, instead of spending £30, which is rather unfair if there are no branches anywhere near you that are participating in the 'event'.

Thanks. Bah-humbug. Should I drive to Kingston for £7.50 (and spend about £3 on parking in the process) and waste 2 hours in the process? I think I might skip this since there isn't anything specific I wanted anyway. I'll check out the John Lewis sale on Thursday instead.
