Good to know.. I am headed there this weekend!
Lucky you, I got two 250 points (£25 spent) the double points and 2 for £12 on Essie, the rest as you say were useless lol!!
This is true there was also a summer points event pull off card with the vouchers.....you can use in store and online :)

Oh what a palaver! Turns out our cat had got into the warehouse next door and couldn't find his way out, found him this morning in there all scared and dirty. Took me ages to get him out from there with treats. He seems okay, he's already gone outside for his explores. Reall hope he doesn't go missing again!
Was gonna go to Kingston today to check out the Bentalls sale, but can't be bothered now, feeling really tired after all the worrying.
So glad that he turned up! Maybe he'll have learnt not to go in there again :)

I went to Kingston today to check out the Bentalls sale and OMG, Guerlain had so many things half price! They even had some Cruel Gardenia and Parure de Nuit (the highlighter with the peacock feather pattern). I was so tempted to pick up another Cruel Gardenia, but I already have two, lol. I did pick up a Parure de Nuit as I didn't want to mess up the one i have, so now I have a back up/one to use. I also got a Parure Aqua foundation in 03 Beige Naturel which is my summer shade, a Rouge G in 75 Rose Barbare, and two Terracotta Blush & Sun bronzing blushes, all half price! They had loads of Terracotta glosses, bronzers, the holiday Meteorites, eyeshadows, Vol de Nuit (the shimmer powder spray), Rouge G lipsticks, etc., all half price. I love Guerlain for this, there is no other high end brand that has sales like this. Wish Chanel and Dior did half price sales too.
Oooh, Bentalls, Kingston is my nearest 'real' store! I only get there very rarely though, and often with one of the children, which proves either expensive (with my elder daughter) or impossible (with any of the other children or my husband!). This sounds as if it might be worth a visit though - do you think they'll still have anything left by Wednesday, which I've already decided to take off work)?

Oh wow! Very jealous!!!
Like I said earlier there was a ton of stuff (3 level stand next to the counter) and about 5 Cruel Gardenias, probably 10+ Parure de Nuits, loads of Terracotta glosses, quite a few Rouge G spring shades and a few of the Brillant shades, loads of foundation, Terracotta bronzers, probably 20 Vol de Nuit shimmer sprays, etc., so I should think there will be a good few left. The sale started yesterday (there was a preview event on Wed night as well), and there's the weekend to come, but you might get lucky. I'm thinking I might pop into Kingston on Wednesday myself because of the Boots event (I hate ordering form the Boots website, it's slow and often sold out of stuff). I'm very lucky, it only takes me about 20 minutes to get into Kingston.

No, actually, had another look and mine are 250 points for £25 spent too. Bum. :( Still better than nothing.

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!
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!

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! :D

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.

Hmm, here's the list of 'participating branches' that Boots site links to, and there are none anywhere near me :( Looks like I'll be having to order online

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.

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.
