How nice is this stuff?! I love it!!! Just tried my free sample on last night (from the wrap) and the colour straight out of the tube looked way too dark but it weirdly changed colour on my face!?!

Anyway, it's been mentioned before that No7 makeup may be same or v similar to the cheaper 17 range. Has anyone tried this:

Less than half the price of the intelligent foundation - looks very similar though! Thought I might give it a whirl... oh and I'd get another No7 voucher to spend! :j

I too love the no7 foundation, but could only afford the 17 version, and I reckon it is just as good, have used it for over a year, there's often offers on 17 foundations too, free wipes, money off etc...

I went back to my lacal boots today and bought gentle cream exfoliator think it was about £7.95 plus a hand cream for 3.95. Tried to use £3 voucher out mag and £2 voucher from wrap. It only took the £2 one though? why would that be when i bought the proper white label face stuff?

forgot to mention they were sanctuary

Its probably because the one in the mag says not redeemable with any other offer. I tried that one too and it wouldnt let me have the free bag.

I had 2 x pkts wipes, one magazine £3 voucher and the free gift and the till said no! Rotters!

Had a very successful trip to Boots last night at 7.50pm, shop about to close.

Sanc S/scrub Bar - £3.95
Sanc Hand Lotion - £3.95
Free bag
Paid £7.90 and got a £5 voucher

Sanc Bath Faom - £4.5
Sanc hand wash - £3.95
Free bag and another £5 voucher

Both bags had the £3 vouchers, what can I use these on?

I was acting all dumb saying "don't know if it will work with the hand lotion(white) and the foam wash(orange). I had taken the scrub bar with me in case it didn't. She said I'll try and if it does I'll put them through 2 transactions, so get another bag and another item if you want. :j

Didn't know I could use the £2 off from the wrap, so will get some more sanc stuff tonight for DD to get the bag.

Also going to get the make up pallet thingy for £15 + wrap, -£5 voucher and pay £10 and get another voucher. DD is so excited as she has been on at me for weeks to get her a wrap. Will the till give me triple points as it is really a £15 spend.

I realise i am addicted to this.

have just cleared out a ton of stuff i didn't need or would use and now i have bought more. Okay i will use the sanctruy stuff (all bath stuff) but i don't need it. I know there are worse addictions (ie i only spent 99p on the trimmers) but still, is it healthy? I am already planning tomorrows trip to boots and know i will be disappointed if no mags and no sanctury skincare stuff. (well not gutted, just a bit down)

Anyone else wornder if they are addicted? or have we all decided that yes we are but there are worse things to be addicted/obsessed about.

yes i think we have already decided that we are addicted :rotfl:
usually admitting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery, but in my case i think it somehow eggs me on!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:

i even dreamt about boots last night!! i was frantically getting the sa to try different sanctuary items through the till so i could have my free bag, but none would go through, or any of my enormous pile of vouchers!!:eek:

therapy please :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Exchanged for the No.7 mirror which is now £9.99 and got a free wrap too! The rest of the money was put onto a gift voucher.



A very nice trip today

The No7 mirror is now £9.99???!!! Which store was this? And has anyone else seen them reduced to this?! Maybe I don't need to wait for my parenting voucher to arrive - I'd happily pay £4.99 and use a £5 voucher!

lulu650

it just went through the till as £9.99, it wasn't on the SEL. The store was on the Herts/Essex borders

I've just spoken to Customer Care about returning No7 suncare, and she said yes I could definitely return it, but without a receipt I would not be able to get a refund (not even onto a giftcard), and would have to exchange I'm wanting a No7 mirror, so assuming they are still £19.99 would the following work...

I have 3 x Tan Enhancing Sun spray at £12.50 each. I'm assuming the till will do the BOGOF, so I can't just take two back, as this will come up as £12.50. If I take three, will it come up as £25? (I actually have 4 of these, but I don't think it will be necessary for me to return the 4th). Does that make sense?! Also, do you think they would put the £5.01 change onto a giftcard? Oh, and should I go to the No7 counter (wouldn't normally, but don't want to hold up the big queue at the main desks!)
