Help with my make up

Yesterday I visited Boots as I had heard they have teamed up with Macmillan and are offering advice around make up.  It was a very positive experience. I was given tips on my eyebrows, foundation, colour of lip sticks, and eyelashes. It gave me a positive boost whilst I am receiving my treatments.  

Thank you Boots and Macmillan

  • Hi, thanks for sharing this, I had no idea. What a lovely opportunity

  • Sounds a really nice thing to do. How do we access this service please?

  • There’s a charity which helps with make up, too, called ‘Look Good Feel Better’ and you end up with a goody bag of items you’ve used. Ask your BCN for referral in your area.

  • I first of all telephoned my nearest large Boots shop which was at Lakeside Thurrock.  They confirmed I could book an appointment or just turn up.  The advice was given at their Number 7 counter and there would always be someone around to help.  I just turned up last Saturday and headed for the No 7 counter. I hope this helps.

  • I tried this service, but it was more restrictive and meant quite a journey for me.  My weekly hospital appointments also mean that I try to do only short distances other than hospital appointments.  They also offer a service at Guy's hospital where my treatments are.  However, this is on a Thursday morning and my appointments are Tuesday and Friday. So, Boots were a good option for me.

  • Hi to anyone interested in the look good feel better workshops I was able to register for one via there website without referral.  It’s next week so can’t comment on how good etc yet. They also do virtual workshops as well if none in your area x

  • It is great to know how many options are out there. Something to suit everyone
