I've just found some vouchers for Boots that will expire in a couple of days. Random things I need are a face wash/scrub; razor; foundation; some sort of hair curl enhancer; foundation brush. Any recommendations for any of these products? Thanks :-)

Ooh lovely. You could try the sanctuary hot cloth cleanser or covent garden spa body lotion or the no 7 moisture face mask. Enjoy your shopping.

Also the boots own make curl cream and mousse are excellent.

All hair stuff - from shampoo to clips - are three for two.

Boots curl creme (pink tub) and Umberto Giannini scrunching jelly (pink tube). Bourjois healthy mix foundation (I like both the regular for fuller coverage and the serum version for every day). Foundation brush the real techniques range is great- look for the expert face brush.

Think no7 have a free gift with 2 purchases of makeup :) :) and they are doing a colour match thing to show you the shades that suit you best.

Thanks all - I got the expert face brush & the curl creme, plus a couple of other bits. Wanted to try the bourgeois (sp?) foundation but annoyingly they didn't have testers for all the shades so I wasn't sure which to go for. Also a bit confused by the difference between the normal one and the serum one ... They both seemed the same in the testers thy were there. I've just finished a tube of body shop moisture rich foundation which seemed to suit me as my skin can be quite "dull" - any idea which of the bourgeois would be best?

I would go to the No 7 counter and try that Lipstick Match thing.

I was accosted by the salesperson on Monday and had ten minutes to kill. Was wholly cynical but thought, why not.

It came back with 5/6 shades, none of which I would have looked at twice. However, when she applied the best match to my lips, my whole face came alive.

Last two days I have had more compliments than in the last two years!

By the way, I definitely do not work for Boots!

Most people seem to prefer the normal Healthy Mix foundation rather than the serum one. I didn't get on with either but do get on with the 123 Perfect foundation. If your skin's dull you could try the Happy Light foundation. Or if they don't have it, the Happy Light serum + the Healthy Mix foundation.
