Hi
Been to the ACM today and it gave me a 1/2 price no7 glycolic peel set voucher and £5 off No7 cosmetics if you spend over £10. I know that the No7 stuff is on 3 for 2. Can anyone let me know what the best deal is please on the No7 stuff? Thanks0 -
Managed to get the NC makeup bag set today

Got Bourjois So Laque! nail varnish in Bleu Violet 1.37 after using pooey. Honestly, what am I like, I've got that much nail varnish, I must get them all out one day and arrange them in groups of shades! LOL
Also bought 2 x CCS Footcare cream 60 ml reduced to 98p on SEL and BOGOHP so cost a total of 1.47.0 -
Went into boots today to get a new under-eye concealer pen, only got the £5 off No 7 wys £10, from acm, but some lovely person had left their voucher for an illuminator powder all alone on the top of the acm, i was very pleased to give this a good home, had been hunting for one for ages. So, in all i bought;
No 7 concealer pen - £12.50
No 7 lipgloss - £9.00
No 7 Highlight powder - £10.00
then with coupons:
No 7 concealer pen - £7.50 with £5 off wys £10
No 7 lipgloss - £0.00 on 342
No 7 highlight powder - £0.00 with voucher wyb any No 7 product
So, at 2.50 for each item, i'm quite pleased with todays shop

Hey all,
My plan for tomorrow then is to buy:
Glyco Peel @ £8.80 (With voucher)
Highlights (Another one! That makes three, and they are going to be presents I think) £10.00
Body Polish @ £8ish I think.
So, if my vouchers work I should have to pay about £8 for all of the above?
My thinking would be:
Hand over the £5 off No7 1st, as the first total would be about £26 if the Body Polish stuff is on 3for2. Then the Highlights and the Glyco Peel in any order.
Does that sound about right? I'm still quite new to Bootsing, and I can find bargains on a clearance shelf but the glitches make my head hurt :rotfl:
Also, those of you who have got those bags for 32p - is this on the SEL? They have this set in my local Boots but it still shows as over £4 for the set.
All help gratefully received!0 -

I'm thinking it may work out as £3.80?
342 so you only pay for peel (8.80) and highlight powder (£10), that'd be £18.80,
hand over £5 voucher, so £13.80,
then highlight voucher (13.80-10.00), so £3.80?
though not a maths genius so may be wrong

boots high strt also had the set of the nc wash bags for £1.23 in the clearance section
i have 2 half price glycolic peels. dont really know what to do with them as i probs wont use them. hmm. i'll see what happens
im gutted i didnt get another illuminator voucher. i've only ever got one and people seem to be getting 2 or 3 on their card. oh well. it seems like pure luck
and there were some makeup remover pads for 83p. i got these for 50p about 2 months ago.

Just had a quick trip round Boots on my way home from work. Wasn't blown away by the new offers, but I did spot a couple of SA's wandering around with the plastic SEL's (the ones a couple of inches wide, about 8" long) with some offers on, so it looks like they're still marking things up.
From the ACM I got quite a few vouchers - I printed the maximum it would let me for each, incase they disappear again!!
£5 off a £10 Spend on No 7 COSMETICS (note, doesn't mention skincare!) x 3
50 points when you buy any No 17 Nail Polish x 5
1/2 price No 7 Glycolic Peel x 3
50 points when you buy Boots Ingredients Body Butter x 5
There were a couple of other offers (Extra points on £35 spend, Hayfever tablets, Free Eye Test) but these were all my beauty ones. I also printed out the BOGOF & 3-4-2 list, which is very concise this month:
BOGOF:
Soltan Protection
Lynx Shower Gel
Naked
Femfresh
L'Oreal Suncare
Olay Daily Facial Wipes
3-4-2
Professional Haircare Mix-n-Match
Dental Mix-n-Match
No 7
Trevor Sorbie Mg Mens
Just have to work out the best combinations of vouchers for the best savings!!
The £5 Facial Skincare (named as Binnie by SS) is specifically for the following:
- Olay Total Effects Facial skincare, Regenerist, Definity
- L'Oreal Wrinkle De-crease, Revitalift
- ROC Retin-Ox, Retin-Ox Multi-correction, Complete Lift
- Time Delay Wrinkle Prevention, Wrinkle Reduce, Mature Skin, Skin Treatments
& is valid till 19th May.
Also, when binning my expired ACM vouchers from last time, there is one for 300 pts when you buy the new No 7 Stay Perfect which is still valid till 19th May, too, so don't bin yours yet!!
Finally, my shop for today could've been better! Didn't realise the 3-4-2 mix-n-match finished yesterday, so found some more Nivea Lipcare Trios but didn't get 3-4-2. If I'd've know this in advance, I'd've split my shop better to earn 2 Binnies, but only got the one:
Shop 1:
3 x Slimfast £1.35 (3-4-2)
Boots Foot Pampering Smoothing Foot Scrub 57p (£4.45 on .com)
Boots Gorgeous Feet Intensive Moisturiser Mini 18p (reduced to 37p but BOGOHP) (£1.46 on .com)
Boots Gorgeous Feet Overnight Rescue Mini 37p (£1.46 on .com)
Boots Gorgeous Feet Overnight Recue Mini 18p (BOGOHP)
BJ So Laque Nail Varnish £1.37 (£5.37 but on offer with £2 off, so using Poohie = £1.37)
3 x Nivea Lip Gloss Trio £1.23 (NOT ON 3-4-2!!!) (Should be around £4.95 each)
Total (at full price) £33.10
Saved £24.04
Paid £9.06 & earned a Binnie
Shop 2
BJ So Laque Nail Varnish £1.37 with Poohie
If I'd realised the Lip Glosses weren't on 3-4-2, I would have paid for them with some of the minis & the 2nd Nail Varnish, to earn a 2nd Binnie!
Sorry for the long post, but hope this info helps some of you,
S xxEverything I wanna do is either illegal, immoral or fattening! lol :rotfl:0
