Sorry if this has been asked before but can anyone tell me if they have managed to use the £2.50 voucher (ladies or mens) on any normal size sanctuary item as mine wouldn't go through with the mask today and I would like to use the £2.50 voucher and the 200 points voucher from the machine if possible

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the sanctuary charcoal masks. I've bought a lot now, all 15ml in the white packets. However when I went in today there were just 4 of those left (I think other MSErs must have been in over the weekend) but in the same bit of the shelf were lots of 10ml masks in a grey packet. I'm assuming these are the same but in old packaging? There wasn't a sign of a different price though - and I'd be loath to buy old stock in packets 2/3 the size for the same price as the nice ones I have been buying. Does anyone know if the old ones might go through at a different price?

Also, the SA yesterday got confused by the 2-sided wrap voucher and thought it hadn't gone through and gave it back to me even though the £2 was taken off. Does this mean I can use it again?

Thanks

oh happy day!

thanks to you guys, i have become a right tart!! went to a big boots and was silly enough to go to a perfume counter with my freebie innocently placed on the counter with baby food etc... the blooming SA spoke to her colleague who just happened to come and stand there and told her you have to have MF stuff with it! Used the old eyeliner fell out trick .... and they told me to get another one! so had to trudge along to MF counter and then came back and said they didn;t have any in my colour!

So went back later and took a box (is it just me or do you feel really guilty trying to pick up a box when the Max F SA is looking the other way??) and took it to the sandwich counter. SA asked me what it was free with, so i said £10 spend which i had anyway. Till started beeping as i was paying with AC points, so she wrote manually on the recept that i have had a freebie.
Picked up anothe MF box on the way out and went to the baby till, spent just over £5 on wipes & baby lotions & potions, and told SA it was free with £5 spend! She was totally shocked and whispered to me to ask whereabouts they were!

Even though it can feel embarrasing and sneaky, it wally is worth going to different tills & areas of the store as they dont really know what's happening on th cosmetics side. Give it a go!

thanks to all posters who take the time to share their deals & glitches!

I have just noticed that I have some vouchers for a free avent newborn teat pack when you buy 2 x 2pk of avent 125ml bottles (valid until 30/04/07), I am breastfeeding so never used it, sorry I couldn't tell you what comes in the pack but if you would like one please just send me a sae, thanks.

but I'm not going to buy one from someone trying to make money out of those of us who are pregnant when they have not in all cases but most likely faked a pregnancy to get the voucher.

do you not feel that your response is a little over the top????

when i was pregnant with twins money was very tight, so when i recieved my vouchers i sold them on ebay to pay for some nappies my babies would need when they arrived, so how is it wrong for me to make money out of my own pregnancy

Bah, checked both Boots stores in Kensington, neither has the Max Factor boxes A few reduced items (No7 foundation for £5.25 i think, and around £2.75 for sanctuary nail & cuticle cream, plus other stuff incl tights for £2.50) but wanted a MF box boo hoo... now to plot my route homme via Liverpool street

COOkie, I went to the larger store on Ken High Street today - I was there around 1.30. What time were you there? Maybe we crossed paths. We should wear badges or something so we can recognise each other:D
Whereabouts is the Sanctuary nail & cuticle cream? I didn't see any.

I tried to buy the Sanctuary face masks with the voucher, but the till wouldn't accept it. The 200points voucher didn't work either, so I asked for a refund. The SA was really good about it and didn't mind at all. Had a hunt around for the MF boxes but didn't find any. Went back to work empty handed. Oh well, there's always tomorrow:D

For all you girls with those £2.50 mens skincare vouchers.. go and grab yourself some of the botanics mens shave gell.. I think you will pay around 25 to 50p for it with the voucher.. but how fab is it!!

I have just used it in place of my normal shaving gel.. and it is wayyyy better.. plus it saves me paying 2.99 for it lol...

Just a tip.. hope it helps someone :eek:
