Welcome back all.

We rattled through the last thread and with Black Friday round the corner this one will go fast too. I hope we haven't all spent up on advents... 😂

Thank you as always to our regulars for you contributions and if you've been reading and thinking of joining come and say hello. 😊

Being treated to a surprise night away with activity and a meal out somewhere. I love surprises! I’m wearing the Chantecaille Aventurine and it’s gorgeous. So easy to apply neatly. I used the Sarah Creal lip primer first.
Having one of those make up days where everything I’ve applied has gone on beautifully. I wonder if it’s because I’ve been applying serums and creams a few times a day from all the minis I’m using up. Usually get a good make up day on a random Tuesday so taking this as a win!

Ooh the Regimes is £54.99 for me (just came up, I didn’t look for it) (the bots are listening!). Is this a good price?

It went to £49.99 yesterday for someone on TikTok. Its back at £54.99 for me now which is the price on the website anyway. I dont even need it!

I ordered the cult overnight edit yesterday for the Murad so I don’t need it either. I have abstained!

I used my points to order last night. I placed 2 orders on the 3for2 deal, so I have a set for myself, plus a set for DSis, plus a couple of other gifts.

Re. your card, I reported mine as lost and they instantly sent me a new card via email and all of my points were there. I then screenshot the email and saved it to my favourites so I know where to look when I need my last 3 digits.
I had been putting it off for about 2 years! Can’t believe how easy it was to resolve 😅

OMG! You’re a genius! Thank you! ♥️

Thank you so much, will give this a go 😍

I’ve just bought the CB overnight edit for the murad, so think I’m good for skincare now. Thinking I’d like a new sparkly lippie - considering chantequaille aventurine or chanel hydra gloss. Any other suggestions for a good sparkly one? And what’s the best eyeshadow around that has good pigmentation?

@keepincool @OvaHere @Fillybuster thank you for your advice about foundations.

@Sminty2 @MrsDahliaTravers I hope you managed to get sorted with your points ❤️

I spent approx £80 of my £90 points yesterday, but I have a carrier bag full of things that I need to recycle so the points will soon add up again!

I got a Boots order yesterday - it arrived with the box ripped open and the contents spilling out. I will not be doing home delivery again! I am going to take the box in today to get to get a refund.

I ordered some £10 Tuesday items from Boots. They normally arrive on Thursday but this week I'm still waiting. I haven't had any damage, though.

@HolidayHattie - mine was a £10 Tuesday delivery. I usually do C&C due to previous problems with Boots packaging but the car has died - permanently 😿- so I stupidly went for delivery.

Hopefully yours will be ok 🤞

Sorry about your car. I usually have delivery because it's not easy for me to get in to town.

I succumbed to the M&S advent with the discount and that was supposedly out for delivery yesterday but then "unable to deliver today, will try again next working day ". Frustrating, doubly so because DH was out yesterday so I could have snuck it in; tomorrow I'll be out and he'll be home.

Thelifeofawife · Today 10:42

The Boots order I placed a couple of days ago is due for home delivery, I hope it arrives okay 😬 I usually go for C&C but decided to go for the delivery this time

XelaM · Today 10:42

My M&S calendar has arrived. I love the pretty box. It's cute packaging and the box will be useful for other things

Goldleafcat · Today 11:07

I find the Boots packaging incredibly flimsy and almost always open in some way! It’s so bizarre! I had a collect in store one the other day and it was open on one side. Thankfully everything was still in there. I do generally do orders to the store these days due to this.

Given I’ve had it multiple times and many of us have the same issue, is it a thing?
