I just purchased 3 disel gift sets and some L'Oréal Paris True Match Powder ROSE SAND with 200 extra points it, used the 10% code, so spent £41.86 and got 1880 points. I'm really pleased with my order, hope it helps someone else.

Anic - Correct, these were free gifts in the past.

How much were they selling for?

The Box was £3 and each of the make up bags were £2 each.

can someone post a pic of the Nº7 Christmas Collection and how much is it as ive got a another £5 voucher to spend

Thanks

Hi, it includes a 4-colour eye colour palette, an irridescent powder with inbuilt puff, nail polish and lipstick, both in a very subtle shimmery colour.

Look here for pics.

It doesn't include the new miracle colour nail polishes which have come out at the same time, or the matte velvet lip colours which are on the same page of Boots.com (unfortunately!)

As far as I can see (I seem to have covered a handful of Bootses this last week!) these Christmas bits are only displayed on a special layout on the counter, and aren't in the usual racks with everything else - so that should make them easier to pick out... or harder to find!

Hi, I'm new here so please bear with me if I'm posting this wrongly or in the wrong place! I've read through many of the posts and so set off to Boots this morning to use my £5 no. 7 voucher. I wanted to buy a compact for £6 but the voucher was refused and I was told I couldn't make a single purchase but could only use the voucher in a 3 for 2 purchase. I pointed out it didn't say anything on the voucher, in fact it actually says cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer on the back, but it was still refused. Is this correct? If so, does this mean I can for my 3 for 2 any first item (ie not a no. 7 item), no. 7 compact for £6 minus the voucher = £1, plus the third item free? Can someone clarify this please? MJ

I think you'll find it was refused because the compact is a gift. Are you talking about the gold compact mirror?

Hi, thank you for the quick reply! Yes it's the gold one in the catalogue, it was £6. Didn't realise this would be classed as one of the 'gift sets'. A 'gift set' to me is something that includes multiple items! Oh well, thought I'd found a bargain Christmas present! I'm new to this site and already I've learned so much, thank you to everyone who takes the time to share their finds and tips. MJ

Many thanks again for all the really useful posts.
Thanks to the info I headed for boots and grabbed 3 of their botanic range - on 3 for 2, two happened to be the Golden Glow body lotion, and had 2 packs of the basic razors.
I got the 2 body lotions FREE with the razors, but the 3 for 2 didn't work - oh well worth a try !

Today I hunted out every Boots I could locate. All had the body lotion, but none had the basic razors .
I asked one sa if they had any basic razors, she glanced at the body lotion in my basket and said NO ! Wonder if they deliberately arn't putting them out while the offer is on ?
Anyway, on my last attempt, I had a brain wave. Loads of body lotions, but no basic razors again - so I headed to the mens section, grabbed a pack of their basic razors, and offer works !!
I have just checked, and there is no difference betweeen those I found today in the mens section, and those I got yesterday in the womens - so if your store have these missing in the womens area, check out the mens. Also, if you do want to ask a sa to see if they have any stock out the back, make sure the body lotion isn't in your hand whan you ask !!:rolleyes:

Another observation, 2 out of the 3 stores I visited today had no notice at all about this linked offer. Third had it in the tiniest writing possible, right down on the bottom shelf, inches from the ground. There is no way this could be an 'advertisement', it would have been impossible to read, and certainly wouldn't catch your eye. Store I went in yesterday did have the notice up, but I wouldn't have realised the potential if I hadn't read about it here. Many thanks again :T

Hi, not sure if this has been mentioned before but the 250 pts from the new No 7 Gift Bag works in conjunction with the £16 parenting voucher so you get a free product, free bag (if spending over £15) and 250 points!
