Make Up Revolution (cheap make-up but not cheap quality wise ) are doing spend £30 get a £30 gift package free , their Iconic palettes are really good dupes for the Naked 1, 2 , 3 palettes at a fraction of the price , obviously not quite the quality of UD , but good colour pay-off for the price , they also have some gifts and palettes reduced , oh and their brushes are a really good dupe for Real Techniques , my beauty obsessed 18 year old actually prefers them to her RT ones .

Most unimpressed with flavourly. I got what I thought was a right bargain one off box of beers using a code someone very kindly posted here - £2.50 including postage. Checked on their site today as its been 10 days and no sign of it. My account says 'order cancelled' when I've done no such thing and when I try and use the code to purchase it again it says 'offer only available to new customers' - I am a new customer, I haven't received anything!

Summer if you look at them on the Lego website you can see how many pieces each set contains, which is a fairly good guide. Amazon should list the box sizes, so together you should be able to make an educated guess. The Lego shop is a good place to check the real RRPs, as Amazon prices can be quite misleading.

CosinChloe try www.99santi99.co.uk or der-rollenshop.sportkanzler.de
Sorry I can't do links, I had a mini micro from the first site and was very pleased with the service, I know a few other MNers have used the second site and been equally as pleased.

I didn't get the email about the serum, what website would I get the serum on?

BeaBoo · 24/11/2015 20:30

Manchester your link didn't work for me but I found it on the website. Thank you, that will be perfect for MIL!

ChristmasFairyLights · 24/11/2015 20:35

Ok, serious help required. DD(8) has written her FC list and has asked for the dolls from Descendants. Trouble is they are a) expensive and b) out of stock.

Had anyone seen them in stock anywhere? Want Mal, Evie, J and Carlos. Oh, and probably Ben.

Have seen them on Ali express but not sure about delivery times?

Strawberryfield12 · 24/11/2015 20:37

weebarra it's this one:

www.skinchemists.com/bee-venom-facial-serum.html

There is a delivery charge @5.99, but still quite a save.

Fox28 · 24/11/2015 20:41

Is anyone able to help me out with a present idea for a 3 year old boy please? He likes dinosaurs and cars, but I have a feeling he has a lot of this already! Although I don't want to spend over £20 ideally, I was tempted with the dino playmobil, but then saw its age 4-10 and he's only just 3.

FireflyGirl · 24/11/2015 20:43

Christmasfairylights - in stock at Smyths but can't help with the cost.

They sometimes do offers, but don't know if they'll do another before Christmas.

weebarra · 24/11/2015 20:44

Cheers strawberry! Not sure whether to give it to my mum of keep it for myself now...

LalaDipsey · 24/11/2015 20:44

Can anyone suggest some great crackers? I have been given the task of getting Xmas day crackers for 7 adults and 4 children. I would like a bargain but also don't want too cheap - I want a bit of a WOW factor. Any ideas? Thanks Smile

ChristmasFairyLights · 24/11/2015 20:48

Thanks firefly they only have some of them available. I'm going to go and get the mal/ben set in the morning so now u just need Evie, Jay and Carlos

Scruffybear · 24/11/2015 20:56

fox a marble run is DS's absolute favourite thing ever. ELC have them, amazon too.

RJnomore1 · 24/11/2015 21:04

Fairy lights they have them on Amazon but they are NOT cheap (£25/30 plus per doll)

Strawberryfield12 · 24/11/2015 21:05

weebarra similar dilemma here: should I impress somebody with present or try myself. In the email they said that 100% women want to switch over to this once tried. One thing i dont need at price of £135 per 30ml!

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 24/11/2015 21:05

fox28 they have been mentioned alot on these threads by me but busy books are fantastic for that age. my dd is 3 and loves them, pretty much only plays with them! she has a disney cars one and theres the good dinosaur one which is a pixar film coming out soon. there's also alot of merchandise for the good dinosaur around at the moment, havent really looked at prices though.

books have you seen the dinosaur who pooped christmas? my dd (and me!) find it hilarious, theres a few other ones too all equally funny, but you have to prepare for the inevitable toilet humour and a page of poo!! Grin

leaningtoweroflego · 24/11/2015 21:06

shufflebum & Imnotweirdimlimitededition1 thanks so much for the Morhpibians recommendations, they're ace!

scrappydappydoo thanks for mentionign Toot Toot, while googling it I cam across this - Vtech Toot Toot Drivers Airport Playset.

MIL brought down the original 70s/80s version of this down from her attic, and DD loves it! It's kept at her's though, reckon I might get this for DD.

A bargain too! £12.99 down from £18.99.
