Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 41 - Post your finds here

so_very_uncool

Hi all. Not completely boots related but at least make-up/gifts related. I was in superdrug today and they had some 07 xmas giftsets reduced that I thought were a good deal. Got a Max Factor eyes one at 7.99 (masterpiece mascara, duo eyeshadow, kohl pencil and makeup bag), Gosh set 7.99 (eyeshadow, liner, mascara, lip gloss), Bourjois set 6.99 (Volume glamour mascara, liner, trio eyeshadow and a brooch). 3 for 2 so I got them for £16. Not an incredible bargain by any means but thought someone might be interested! I'm pretty happy with them, will be going back in tomorrow!

mimi1234, I wish my bloke would get so excited about the prospect of a shopping trip in Boots!! :rotfl:

He curses my obsession and was not even impressed when I managed to get my No 7 mirror for £9.99!! :A

LOL. Did you have to haul the mirror around with you? I came upon the mirrors ages ago when they had the half price 3 4 2 offer. Saw shed loads, but thought no way am I carrying that lot around Leeds with me! No way hosay!! *** To be totally honest, I have no idea why I BOOTS like a maniac. I use none of the products and they just collect up in my bedroom until one of my family members or friends takes them. I feel the same about MSing, I don't know why I do that. Sometimes I think I've lost the plot, which I probably did ages ago. Anyway .... called CS again, and the lady said they had no such promotion on the S&G and I had probably been mistaken. I was like WHATEVER! I guess the offer is off gang. *** I'm off to cook. Have fun y'all.

Hiya just found this forum, never knew boots could be so excitting. Tomorrow im off to Swindon and was wondering if they have SS tills. Wouldn't be brave enough to try a pink voucher and a paper one on a manned till and if they had ss tills might give it a go.

I too tried the new Time Delay Wipes and I got my face all red and burning from them. Fortunately I washed it with cold water and in half an hour it passed. The old ones were ok for me .. so they must of change the formula. I heared some other people in here complining. Do you think it's worth telling Boots (getting them back to a store? I don't have the receipt and anyway I bought them for the 300 points in the mailing so it's the same for me, but maybe they change them back if they have more complaints ....)

The Time Delay range in the old packaging has a message on each pack saying you can return the item if for any reason you are not satisfied and you will get a full refund. I've just looked on a pack of wipes in the new packaging and that message is no longer there.
However, if you have an allergic reaction to the ingredients I'm pretty sure Boots has to give you a refund and should be logging your complaint in case others are received.
I would try instore first but if you have any problems then post the wipes with a covering letter to CS explaining the allergic reaction you had, the address is on the back of your Boots receipt.
I did this with a mascara several months ago and it was sorted out very quickly and I was refunded by a giftcard, Boots seem keen to hear from peeps who have had problems with a product, they keep a database of allergic reaction complaints so that they can act if a particular product or ingredient is giving cause for concern.

Hi all, I've been lurking for a while and have been drawn in! Thank you all for your advice and patience answering all the Q's! I have been making lots of notes and yesterday got the no7 mens 342 and gwp, olay hand cream £4 off and 600p and the Davidoft Wave perfume!

I have been looking for the UG Elixir sets and can't find them at all. Are they on the usual shelves or with the xmas gifts?

Many thanks!

Welcome
The UG sets are surprisingly small, You might miss them if you don't look carefully! they are on the UG stand with all the shampoos and stuff. Or they may just have all gone to Bootsers, you've got to be quick :eek:
