full refund with receipt or an exchange.. no problem

So its the time of year when we have a good look through our xmas gifts ( bought for us and bought by us.. for us !!!  )
those lovly jeans that are never going to fit ( just kidding myself ) and especially not after all those mince pies!!
that 2 sizes too big top off the in - laws !!
And in the words of the shop assistants.... ( when you purchase )
'of course, no problem, just pop along after xmas...full refund with receipt or an exchange '
so journey too the shopping centre is imminant,  all tags intact and receipt at the ready

Debenhams ...not a problem
M and S... not a problem

Then there was Boots...no not the ones you wear...
I had a very well known perfume bought for me...a li'l clue


And I hadnt even opened it to try it!!!!

It was after lunch on a Sunday and after asking at the appropriate counter for a refund
I did try the friendly and even the jokey approach...my husband had obviously got me mixed up with his girlfriend ...
..they firstly tried to convince me to purchase another perfume ..and i did try a few but wasnt really in the mood, 
then she announced that there wouldnt be enough cash in the till!! with a very smug face...
and suggested that I try at the main checkout...which I did....would you believe it....theres not enough cash in the till..
You can not be serious 
You could try upstairs...was the not too helpful suggestion
Which I did under protest....
We probably havnt got enough cash in the till came the rather rude reply from the middle aged toffee nosed assistant....( I tell you she was middle aged for this reason ) 
A quick response came from the very young assistant who was on one of the other tills...Oh its ok I have got more than enough in mine if its any help...
Thank The Lord for that young lady....otherwise I dread to think where I would of been sent
Obviously someone who had been trained on being helpful and not how to be smug and unhelpful

Tip to boots If you do give refunds make sure all your staff are aware of this and equally as accomodating as when they are recieving the money from us!!!

And just in case any one is wandering the refund amount was £68 not £680 !!!

and the mall was full

Touche Eclat Awakening Foundation

So I am trying a new foundation

So I noticed they were giving away samples of the new YSL foundation at my local Debenham store...

so the question is ....to try or not to try ????

  r u kidding   course try it...it dosnt cost anything !!!  lol

so i did....got to be honest it was like trying to get blood out of a stone....the snotty faced assistant (and i use the term loosely.....cus believe me she didnt want to assist me )  lmao

  errr not quite   close....almost....

~~I nearly had to remind her that it wasnt actually her that was giving it to me !!!!
But despit her best attempts to put me off I had my free sample....
tried it for several days...I dont wear loads of makeup but i do like it to look good.
My skin is very oily and i am over 50!!!  so quite a challenge
Well I'm pleased to tell you that I am very pleased up to yet.
Nice light weight product....easy to apply...very natural looking and surprisingly good cover
even more surprising lasted well on my oily skin, considering its not specifically for my skin type!!!
And yes ...i went back and purchased the full size product....30ml for £32
and happily i didnt have to deal with assistant of the year....
