hiya for those who haven't i say go for the maxfactor boxes i got another today without any problem at all.Went in today and got jlo luxe 50ml with 200ml bodylotion for friends birthday £19.75, also got some apricots 35p to munch on and the free maxfactor box-sa didn't comment on all, used 150points from ac machine and also got the normal points which doubled to 160 with my doublepoints voucher so 310 points with a £20 spend very good indeed!
Had to go back again as decided to swap the jlo for a different set chose paris hilton at £21-paid £1.25 difference but still got 84 points as the till recognises the original price and not the difference,was desperate to grab another giftbox but sis disagreed saying it was pure greed!Anyway i watched people browsing and saw to my horror a lady carrying a masterpiece mascara who had noticed the giftboxes, not seeing any signs about a free gift she went and dragged a male sa fom the tills to find out how she could get the box-couldn't eavsdrop so not sure what he said but now i am definately going in tomorrow agin to make sure that the free offer is still working! (The lady had a no7 wrap and no7 items in the other hand)

Ooo kensington is on the list... oooo.... *goes to get dressed (yep, very lazy today)*

Did you find any in Kensington? I was there yesterday and didn't see any. Will try again tomorrow if you manage to spot them. They didn't have any in my local store today either. I walked around the make up counters at least 5 times just incase I'd missed them...but nothing:(

I think we deserve a logo, to praise our bootsing ways & also to identify each other . I have came up with this as a rough-

Exeter has a Max-factor stand, will go in on lunch break and have a look for the free gift things.

Another boots raid done today, found 2 x vouchers! 1 on floor outside, and I spotted one left on top of a counter in front of a SA, I just walked up and took it from under his nose, he looked at me a little shocked....
1 x Nivea shave foam (19p with voucher) left, 1 x £1.37 (free with voucher) shave gel + 100 points, 2 x sanctuary face masks (free with vouchers) and face wipes (50p with voucher) + 100 points.

Between me and the OH we spent under £1, got all this + 200points back....
No body bars out, or lip balms (maybe there's a few unreg'd MSEr's in Exeter)
Maxfactor boxes next!

By the way, if you buy any 100ml fragrance in Boots, (Exbridges) Exeter NOT High St you get a free gift from a "lucky dip". They are all wrapped up and on display, but look like BIG presents, possibly last of the gift sets? hmmm..... Do you think I can buy a fragrance, leave it a couple of weeks and take it back, without returning the "free" gift? If they're wrapped they can't be scanning through till right? Might be worth a try.....

Keep an eye out for those loose vouchers!

Loads of red boxes in Oxford (hight street) but I didn't have the nerve to try... :rolleyes: They are on the Max Factor counter underneath the (home computer typed) sign that says free gift for £15. :rotfl:

Go on...be brave:D why don't you buy the cheapest Max Factor product you can find and hand over the box at the same time. If SA says anything, just say you thought the box was free when you buy any Max Factor item. Be quick, before they are all gone...I wish I was in Oxford right now:D
