    Evening All,
    Just seen this on .com.

    http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=868547

    Does that mean if the R&M was the cheapest, that would be considered free item and then use Perkie + any R&M points to come off one of the other items.

    Any Agent trying this, please report back :cool:


    Great spot. After the reviews the UD primer has been getting on here, I've been thinking of trying it - this has convinced me. Think I'll get that at £9.50, plus 2 R&M nail varnishes at £9.50 each (not tried them before - anyone who has, are they any good?) This would make the sub-total £19 after 3for2, then minus perkie total payable would be £14 - hmmm, do I need it....

    However, in response to your 'will it work' question, you will need to actually "pay" for a R&M item for vouchers to work, iyswim - if you were to get 2 UD items at £10 for eg, and an R&M item at £9, then the R&M item would be free as part of the 3for2, and the points voucher and perkie wouldn't work as there's no "value" for the till to apply the vouchers against.

    So, make sure that your R&M item is the middle-priced or highest-priced item.

    I hope that makes sense :)

    Does anyone know how long a 30ml bottle of no7 beauty serum should last if applied once a day? I'm thinking at least two months, probably three?

    I've got two tubes and don't want to overstock like crazy as I may want to try something else in 4 to 6 months time. But I might get another tube now while the deal is good if my stash will last less time than I think.

    Mine lasts about a month I think, applied twice a day. I don't really time it though tbh, and when I go away for the weekend/week I take a mini from a gwp. (and I probably use too much - overkill is my middle name :rotfl: )

    yes I'd be interested to know this. I have 3 spare bottles already, so I suppose my stash could last me for a year :eek:.
    Problem is I still want to go out and get more cos I can get it for £8 and a gwp. :rotfl:
    Think I have a serious problem with my will power :o

    EDIT: Thanks blodwin just seen your reply above
    now has her .com delivery but doesnt know where to put it :o

    Hi Skibster

    I am just about finished the big P&P 200ml, probably lasted a good year. Was using it twice daily until had a skin analysis with Elizabeth Arden who said my eye area was OK but rest of the face was quite hydrated so maybe drop to once daily. Although I think it's good, might have a break from it for abit and then go back to it.

    BTW - those new to P&P serum - it is applied first and then your moisturiser goes on top. It is not meant to be used on its own (as I did for a while!)

    Yet another query for our expert bootsers:

    I've managed to get rid of most of my hairys, but still have wrinklies to get rid of. What's everyone spending these on? Anything cheap apart from the olay regenerist face wash?

    TIA. I promise I'll get the hang of this bootsing thing eventually!

    Theres an Olay 7-in-1 (is that total effects?) cream wash as well, and I've also bought the Time Delay moisturiser with gradual self tan in. Both are 86p with a wrinklie.

    My 5ml sample from the GWP lasted me exactly a week, using it twice a day, on very dry and messed-up skin (its no longer messed up, and is a lot smoother I think).

    Thanks (and to ninetails, too)! I think the 5ml sample I used lasted about two weeks (using it once a day). So I'm guessing the 30ml tube will last six times as long, or 12 weeks. I don't use it too liberally, but it seems I'm putting on a bit more from the big tube -- it just squeezes out more quickly, lol. Hmm, tough decision, as the deal until Tuesday is so good at 8.50 with the two vouchers, plus 250 points back plus a gwp. But two tubes probably will last several months, and I'm not certain I want to stick with this for good. I did fine not using serum at all, lol. But if feels like I'm doing something a bit lush to put it on. I'll ponder it.

    Edit: And thanks to sarnd and balletshoes, lol.

    Hmm, I'm leaning the other way on this now! Every one else seems to be putting it on twice a day (I currently only do it in morning). So now thinking need to do it twice a day, so need to buy loads more and maybe get some night cream as well just for good measure!!
    Told you I had no will power :rotfl:
    I'm off now to try my sumptious bath soak :D
