In she mag there is an ad for the new Boots bag from 31st jan to march27th

Its is a turquoise with red flowers roll type bag which has inside
hydro quench
intelligent foundation
lash extensions mascara
lipstick reddy pink
eyeliner crayon type
eye shadow brown
really reviving product of some sort

worth £35 and you get it if you spend £15 on No7 so save a £5 vocher or two and get to boots from jan 31st before vouchers expire

Enjoy

Will the 3 for 2 on No 7 still be on or the 6 for 1 suncare when this starts. Thanks.

Hi Dawn, it was such a good deal and very sought after because if I remember rightly, there were a few glitches about at the time which enabled you to get it a lot cheaper than usual, and a lot of us did!

It became at the time a kind of competition to see how many Lilac bags you could get, I ended up with about 10 :rotfl:

Plus it had excellent items in it including the mini foundation that totally converted me, ( I don't use anything else now) and also points vouchers like the ones on sale now.

One item I remember in particular was the summer organiser which at the time was £15.00 but had been reduced to £9.99. There was a N07 £5 off voucher if you spent £10 so we used that voucher and because the organiser was originally £15, we got that and a lilac bag with it for only £5!

Hope this clears it up for you :T

In the style of Alcoholics Anonymous, own up time:

I ended up with 50 Lilac Bags along with suncare galore, and many of the No7gift sets.

I sold most of them on eBay to raise funds for a women's group I'm involved in (Dave is a ginger cat, not me!) and gave a couple of hundred packs of Bodyform to a local battered women's shelter. A few of my friends ended up with super hampers for their birthdays also.

It became a bit of a compulsion, and in a strange way I was pleased they ended it, as I I was going to 2 different branches a day at one point and more than one till.

The men in white coats are coming to take me away.

what's a bootsing partner? a pal that goes with you to give you courage to try the 641? that's a fab idea!!

A great idea :T (but not mine unfortunately), but to be honest it would make sense to have someone with you if you are not confident to do a 641 yourself. Have to say at this point but I have been round Boots so often lately I think I will be adding some of the nice SAs to my Xmas card list !:rotfl:

today i used 2 of my vouchers to buy 2 no7 giftbags to get the points coupons.It was cheaper than doing the 342 and paying £8.I never recieved any vouchers back 2day and i didn't ask although i spent over £5.I need some advice for tomorrow-i have 2 £5 vouchers left and also 1 parentiing voucher so is the best method to try and get 6 of the suncare kits (£24.50 &£19.50) or should i settle for just the bogof and not be greedy?Also i want to save 1 voucher for next weeks offer as i need a new foundation, but i also need a black no7 eyeliner pencil .My minds all confused.
so far the plan is
2 packs of multi vits to use the 300 points&£1 change1thing
bogof throat things +1oo pints form mag £1.35
2 umberto giannini shampoos with ac machine 100 points so £1.90
2 umberto gloss shine sprays or john frieda £1.99 spraysX2
which leaves me with 2 250point no7 vouchers.
use 1 voucher toward the eyepencil?
The aim of this is to have enough points to get my mum stella rose absolute at £30 for 30ml
i only have about £12.83 in points (all earned this week)
£4ish on sisters card & a £10pound gift card.Don't want to spend more than £5ish in store tomorrrow.
Any advice please.By the way am i the only one of us bootsers who doesn't like opening the lovely giftsets-if my sister opens one i have a terrible urge to buy another to look at-do i need counselling?

Where do you get the 300 points on vitamins vouchers from Ladies, i have the one pound off from the change one thing booklet, but would ideally like to get 300 points instead...running low on our vitamins so could do with a couple!

Hi i had a lovely sales assistant today at boots as she told me the vitamins coupons had two differnt barcodes on either side one for northern ireland and one side for uk so she swiped both sides and it appears to have gone on my receipt. so 600 points for one 300 point coupon., seems too good to be true

f I take the 3 no 7 sunless tanning starter kits back am I right in thinking I will get a £12 refund?
There's always one isn't there who who cocks it up and this week it is me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What does your receipt say? they were not BOGOF but all no 7 products are on 342 so i would have thought £24 but i could be wrong
If you tell us what exactly you bought and how much then we might be able to work it out

LOL - Not just me with an obsession then, I feel so much better after reading everyone's posts on here. My OH thinks I've lost the plot but I keep telling him " it was a bargain" - he looks almost disappointed if I come home without a Boots bag (or 4).

it should have been 750 points if she scanned both sides.Maybe she scanned the uk side twice?
