  • If you're buying three it is definitely still a bargain, and works out cheaper than it would be in the 50% sale. I'm not a fan of No7 but for those who are they look like really good sets.
    also if you get all three and a nice SA like me, there are 250 points in each box just behind the eye makeup she let me slip them out and they got £7.50 in points! Worth trying.;)
  • these are already turning up on ebay for £65...

    No idea how much the capsules are or how much they last but am also considering this so would be interested to know!

    Edit: Oops. It says:

    One capsule lasts approximately 25 / 30 minutes of continuous drying, intensity of formula released controlled by heat and speed settings (that's not much!!!!!)

    A 6-pack of capsules costs either £4.89 or £6.99 at boots.com (weird), could be cheaper elsewhere.

    Does anyone know when this offer expires? Thanks xo

    on one of the other boots threads in this forum (please don't make me go look for it:eek:), these were discussed, only a few days ago, and those that had it liked it very much, and seemed quite impressed with the cartridge thingies.

    Surely the postage costs would outweigh any 'profit'?

  • If anyone buys these, remember that the till "sees" the price for 3 first as £180 - so for goodness sake don't just pick up one free gift!

    Yesterday, on shopping night, I bought:

    3 x Hands & Feet sets @ £20 each (on 3 for 2)

    1 x Protect & Perfect Serum @ £18.50

    3 x GWPs

    The till "sees" the price as 3 x £20, plus 1 x £18.50 = £78.50, so I was entitled to one GWP for each £22.

    Then, the 3 for 2 for the sets kicked in - £40, plus P & P £18.50 = £58.50

    Then, my 10% over 60s discount was applied - leaving £52.65

    I used my 500 points Xmas Bonus, plus 1200 points, plus 250 from a previous GWP = 1950 points.

    In my 3 GWPs plus my 3 sets, each had 250 points coupon = 1500 points

    So, I spent £52.65, I will have 3450 points, so in Boots logic I got:

    3 x GWPs
    3 x Hands & Feet sets
    1 x P & P Beauty Serum and paid ........................ £18.15!!!!!!!
