BT Voucher

Busterpuss

Hey all, got €300 voucher for brown thomas, was goin to buy a pair of jimmy choos for myself but didnt see anythin i liked mainly cos its sale stuff, but alas it is burning a hole in my pocket, should i wait a while or has anyone any advice on what i could spend it on ??

~Leanne~

My god your so lucky!!! I wouldnt know where to start, probably the MAC counter though!

Although €300 barely buys you a pair of socks in BT!

yeah exactly buy mac makeup!

i dont have any mac make up, i tend to stick to estee lauder and ysl is mac good? i have the mac foundation brush but thats about it

MAC is very good, there's a massive range and you'll always find stuff that you want there. However if you're not sure about it, you could always just use your voucher for the YSL and Estee Lauder counters instead and stick to what you know!

I think it'd be a good idea to wait a while before spending it though. It'd be really easy to spend that amount of money on buying loads of new make-up, but it'd probably be more worthwhile to buy a gorgeous pair of shoes or a great bag that will last for ages, instead of makeup that'll be gone in a couple of months.

Even if there's nothing there now, the sales will be be over in a week or so and all the new stuff will be coming in.

thanks stargal, true enough, i dont mind paying my own money for make up or that so i think i will wait and get a nice pair of shoes, was looking at dkny bags but they only had brown ones, would prefer a black one. i think ill go with the shoes tho.

Get a pair of Sevens jeans if you don't already have some. Well worth the price.

Since it was a gift and you'd like to get something decent I would:

~ Put it towards a designer bag/wallet and pay the rest yourself.
~ Buy some nice sunnies. Got a Chanel pair last week reduced from 205 euro to 164 in the sale.

The jeans are overpriced and you'd get them cheaper in the States. I would only buy them in Dublin if you really found your "holy grail" pair.

You could always wait til the sales are over and put it towards a really nice pair of shoes.

Don't spend it just for the sake of it, I somehow (God knows how!) managed to keep one for a year! Mostly because I kept forgetting about it.

There's some very nice stuff in BT2 in the sale if that's more your style.

I got a €20 Awear/BT/BT2 voucher but even with my other christmas money I couldn't afford anything in the sale

According to this they're 50% off. Can't recall the specifc prices of them at the moment, oddly enough (considering I worked with them for over a year), but they're well worth it, they do great things for a womans figure.

I'd buy some crystal or something.. but I'm weird like that!

Completely OT: But daiiki how do you become UNlegal in 9 months and three weeks? Are you ageing in reverse or something?

My visa runs out and I'll no longer be able to work and live here!
./edit: then I'm going to travel and go home.. and I'm kinda homesick.

Why not give some of it to charity, that would be like so much more kind than spending it on yourself on mac make up or jimmy choo's.

You could raffle it off here

I bought a pair of these today ( Well if you mean 7 for all mankind!) for men. They're very nice, they were further reduced to half price.
