Happy Monday Folks!
Another Monday means it is the start of another week, and boy am I happy for a fresh start. Last week I was out and about and got to venture to Newcastle and Leeds via the UK rail network. As some of you may know the snow has hit with a vengeance and with it, it has brought the freezing cold and travel disruptions.
I always believe that the best train journeys are all about the snacks. On Wednesday I hopped aboard the train that was to take me to Newcastle. As it was an afternoon departure I thought I would jump into Boots and grab a sandwich, or even a meal deal because I love a bargain. I clambered aboard the train with my wheelie case in tow, found my reserved seat and began to settle in.
I began by opening my Boots bag and fetching out my sandwich, well in this case, my wrap. I had decided to purchase the Prawn and Lemon wrap from the Boots 'Shapers' range. I pulled the packaging out of the bag and I noticed that the bottom of the boxed packaging did not look too neat so I thought I would open the wrap from this end. BIG MISTAKE! The package was soaking and so was the wrap. The wrap had become like a sticky dough. It went straight into the bin, well after I took some snaps with my phone to email to Boots Customer Service.
My next mishap was with Boots again. The foundation I use is the Maybelline 24 hour superstay foundation. I am coming to the end of current bottle so I thought I would pick more up before I was caught short. I popped into Boots and I was really excited to see that they had an offer on Maybelline products. If you purchased one Maybelline product, then the second Maybelline product is half price. I have now ventured into four different Boots stores and I am unable to find the shade that I wear. I have also checked online, however no luck.
I decided to try a new Maybelline foundation. I noticed that Maybelline have brought out a new Fit Me range. I had a look at the testers and I tried a few. I decided to go with Fit Me 120. Once I got home I tried the foundation on my face and I thought it looked a little lighter but I thought I would try it again when I have a source of natural light. The foundation is a little 'yellow' for me, however in the store lighting the foundation was a good match. Has store lighting ever caused this issue with anyone else? I cannot be the only person who has wasted money on a foundation that is unsuitable?
If anyone comes across the Maybelline 24 hour superstay foundation in Sand, can you let me know?
