yes i have a bottle of the botanics eye makeup remover which i havent opened yet might try.Also got a few bottles of the nivea visage which is good but i like the no7 eye makeup remover bottle tbh-dressing table looks weird without it-dont mind spending a £1 for it with a voucher though.Weird i know but bootsing has done this to me.

Managed to get a men's micro dermabrasion kit for £5 minus the £2.50 mens voucher.

This should be £12.50, and comes in a box, one bottle of face exfoliator and one bottle of moisturiser. They let it go through at £5 because the SEL was on at £5 (this was the previous SEL & price for the mens botanics face scrub). Look out for these, might be worth seeing if any other stores have done the same?!

outbackrockstar - what's this kit actually called - what brand?

I was the one who had to go to the till with it, it was a botanics one. There is a women's one, for £9.99 I think, and the men's one which scans at £12.50. As outbackrockstar said, this one had an SEL of £5.00 (maybe the old packaging was at that price, and they hadn't removed it ). SA was fine, we genuinely had thought it was £5.00 and she happily over rode the till.

The set is boxed, and lists gingko and crushed apricot as the "key" ingredients. Great for £2.50!

I agree - I always seem to be in boots and now buy most of my toiletries from them. It is great to get the vouchers and as a marketing tool for boots it certainly works because we keep shopping there.

Someone mentioned earlier that a Mother's day gift would be free with Sanctuary purchases. Does anyone know if this is true and, if so, when the offer starts?

Thanks

Yes its true , it was me who posted. I got a small leaflet through from boots.com with details of the mothers day promotions- one of these being the sanctuary free set with 2 full price purchases. I phoned them but they said the marketting department had sent it too early and they didnt have a time for the sets being released just sometime after valantines and before mothers day. I think it will probably be this week as a lot of the sanctuary points vouchers finishes this week, failing that definately next week. I kept the leaflet incase I was seeing things- I also have kept my voucher from the no7 wrap by specailly. Mothers day has a few promotions coming up great for us.
Thanks to the OP who said about the no7/ ruby vouchers as I am wanting some ruby 7 millie brushes. I will also hold off until friday to get my lancome set and get triple points.Thank goodness the mens/womens skincare vouchers have came to an end they were too much hardworking- the no7 vouchers are far easier !

No sorry the triple points does not include bonus points. You will get triple points on your spend and your extra 300 points.

Can't wait for the no7 vouchers! There's still a few lipstick bags at romford, and some burgundy bags in the store down the road from me, might end up getting a few again, the travel size packs are great! And the cream pots are even handier afterwards!

I think you're right - my OH always says Boots will end up going bust but its not true - they get a good few quid spent there a few times a week more than they would otherwise!
