The Max Factor free with purchases over £15, Xmas Treats gift set & bag is now on sale at Boots for just £1 and the sales assistant says Boots have hundreds and hundreds of them. The bag is described as a gemstone bag, it's basically black with a few crystals decorating it...bit tacky to be honest. However the make up inside is excellent. So you get;

One little yucky black bag with fake diamonds on it
Vibrant curve effect lip gloss in Majeste (a light sparkly browny/pink)
Kohl black pencil which once applied, lasts all day.
Xperience Foundation sachet
mini Nail infinity ruby fruit (lovely shade of a dark purple ish)
Lasting performance Foundation in Natural Beige
mini Masterpiece Mascara in Max black.

Oooh and you get a £3 off coupon inside expires 22/3/2011


Max Factor is also currently running a 3 for 2 offer but my Boots used a group code or something instead as I stupidly asked if the 3 for 2 was valid and he changed the code.

I'll try to find a photo or link of the bag. :rotfl:

Also No7 gift boxes with make up minis and protect and perfect creams inside for £6...unsure if they're on a 3 for 2. :beer:

  • I got this at Valentines! not for Valentines I might add otherwise I would have been slightly :mad: but in Exeter/Exmouth they were giving them away free with any perfumes that were bought.
    Worth asking if your going to buy a perfume, even still at a £1 there not bad little stocking fillers for next year :)

    Instore in their reductions counter. Quite a few other bargains too, a whole mix of perfumes, creams, make up, Clairol Foam nice and easy hair colours were £1.75 for a few limited colours..light brown, golden brown and quite a few shades of blonde, Charles Worthington hair products were reduced too. :D

    Knowing how popular the No7 gift bag was on here, they did have lots of boxes containing No7 products, make up, protect and perfect creams etc. I guess this was a giveaway at some point too. These were priced at around £6. I don't recall but if there is a 3 for 2 on No7, then these might be worth a look too.:)

    P.S. Can't find these offers online although have noticed the No7 Xmas bag back in stock on a 3 for 2. I have written a separate post for it.

    Sorry I have no idea if it is available in 'all' stores however the assistant (we had quite a natter) explained they are absolutely inundated with these bags and are getting boxes of new ones everyday to put out on to the shelves and our local Boots is tiny. I guess it would be available in all stores subject to stock, as these bags are Christmas Party treats and out of season. I notice that Max Factor have a new free gift with purchases over £15 in Boots, a Spring bag. Good luck anyway and just in case you are local, the store I visited is the Andover store.

    I have not found my local stores to have these and I just wondered if anyone had found these in the Central belt of Scotland as would really like a couple of these to make up some charity boxes. I have tried phoning Customer Service but they could not find any. Does anyone have a code that might help in the search?:T

    Was in the three city centre stores in Glasgow yesterday and din't see any of the Max factor bags in any of them.

    However the Sauchiehall Street branch had loads of the No.7 ones £4.00 each and 3 for 2.
