Boots Blush Glitch

Today in boots from the advantage card machine i got a voucher for a free 17 Blush http://www.boots.com/en/17-Candy-Collection-Blush-and-Go_1041923/ worth £3.99 when you buy any other 17 product.

17 products are currently on 3 for 2 so.....

1. pick up one of the blushes (provided you have the voucher)
2. pick up any 17 product less than £3.99
3. pick up a final 17 product (this will be the price you pay, so choose wisely)

Cheapest Products lip liner at £2.59 so you can get 2 x lip liner and blush for £2.59

Hope this make sense......

also look out for a 17 GWP as these can usually be combined and used as a product.

  • i was also able to print 2 vouchers off- long expiry date, so worth while printing off even if you don't plan on using straight away in case they remove the vouchers.

    Vouchers are issued randomly, not everyone gets the same ones at same time.

    SA did look twice at the till but distracted her. also i bought other items... i think it would be more obvious if people just went for this deal x

    I just went for the deal on a manned till. Didn't buy anything else.
    Not doing anything wrong as No.17 is on 3 for 2 legitamately, along with the ACM spitting out free blush voucher with 1 no.17 purchase (it allowed me to print 2) I think it just shows the mark up on the products.
    I got the blusher and 2 of the Glitter eye shadows that were £3.89 each but are also on an offer of £2.89 each at present (as shown on SEL). hence 3 products for grand sum of £2.89.
    Might do same again tomorrow with the 2nd voucher.
    Did take a photo but when I tried to upload to photobucket I can't get past the pop ups telling me I'm the possible lucky winner of an IPAD. Won't let me click anything else on the pop-ups other than OK and then sends me in a spin trying to get out of it. Can't even minimise the windows so I can use my photobucket account. It's very annoying.
