Boots Grabbit Bargains Thread part 5 - post your finds here

I have checked the first post but cant find anything about Essential aromatherapy. I've noticed various posts where people can differnt ammount of points. Are these in the machine?

Are these items clearance or just normal price?

I tried looking them up on Boots.com and if you put essentail aromatherapy you get four pages but I could only find one actual EA product which was pillow mist. What section will this be on and are there any others?

Also something about Max Factor brushes???

You get 100 points voucher from the AC machine for essential aromatheraphy. There is a pillow mist at £1 apparentily and some people have tried them with minatures but not sure if this worked,
The max factor brushes is a kind of old one as it was around last year. Some stores had promotional brushes free with max factor products but they scanned for nothing so you could get them without purchases, However I have never seen them in any stores I have visited. They are kept at the specail promotional max factor counter so it would only be bigger stores where you would find them.
In a hurry going bootsing !

So far I've bought 2x pillow mist and 3x mini bath products from the essential aromatheraphy range. The 100points did not work on any of the above. I had a real battle with the SA, who did'nt want to give me the points, but as it DOESN'T say on the voucher you cannot use when buying mini products, she gave me the points in the end...albeit very reluctantly. She had to put them on manualy. I haven't been back to my local store since. I am so well known there (for all the wrong reasons) I don't know If i can face going back...I'm sure I will though...when I'm feeling brave enough:D

If you're too scared to battle the SAs to get your EA points on miniatures you can always 'phone the advantage card helpline and they'll add them for you. (the number's on the back of your receipt)

used the peel last night for the second time.

still no miracles! :rotfl:

my skin does feel softer i guess, and maybe a little tighter.

anyone else used it?

Sadly with this level of glycolic acid you are not going to get any miracles. BUT...if you look up glycolic peel on Ebay you can see what higher levels can do to your skin! YUK!!!!!!!!! I was stunned that people are buying stuff that is so strong that it leaves you with scabs and severe redness for over a week! Do these people have no life? Can they just sit at home for days on end until the scabs heal? Do they not feel the urge to go out Bootsing at least every other day?
I think I will leave the mega strength stuff to the proffesionals! (sp)

To all those still too frightened to try the No7 kit...go for it! I was SO nervous but got advise from people on this thread and so I gave it a go. I have mega sensitive skin and it was fine...just a tiny bit of tingling on application. Skin is softer and firmer. Not bad at all for £8 and a free wrap

How long do you have to sit with the peel gloop stuff (no idea, not opened it yet) on your face? I bought one last week (to get the wrap ) and wouldn't mind trying it, probably on the weekend. Does it leave you even slightly red on the face, like a little flushed?

Yeah, wish I'd done that. I feel I need to keep a low profile now. I just hate it when the SA tries to tell me I am in the wrong, when I know I'm not. It gets my back up:mad: First she came out with the old line "you have to use the vouchers on the day you print them off" wrong: they are valid until the end of the month. Then she said "you can't use them against mini products" wrong again: it does not say that on the voucher. Anyway, I have just e-mailed Boots and asked them to make the vouchers clearer to save embarasment to the customer.

I redeemed loads of points this week. I bought 2x bottles of perfume and 1x bottle of aftershave for DH. I am amazed how quickly my points built up.

Thanks to everyone here for all the tips on collecting extra points:D

I can't wait to get my hands on some Sanctuary products, but like most people here, I can't quite work out the best way of getting the most from using all the different vouchers. Including the one from the wrap. I got my first wrap a couple of days ago. It's so lovely:j

It says to leave it on for 5 minutes. The first time I used it I chickened out and only left it for 3 mins...but went for the full 5 mins yesterday. No redness for me at all, but obviously we are all different so you might get the flushed look. The instructions recommend using it in the evening (incase you do go red I guess?) And it says to use sun protection of 15 SPF or above afterwards as your skin will be more sensitive to sunlight damage.
