    I love the 17 - get even balancing foundation.

    I have combo skin and it moisturises the dry patches, and matts the oily bits! ...I have quite drab skin and I get a flawless finish with it. Covers over my red cheeks and little blemishes.

    It lasts all day too!

    I really would recommend it :)

    i have

    no7 trio eye shadow x 2
    no7 eye lash curler x2
    no7 massager x 3 (given about 3 away)
    no7 trimmer
    sun cream x 4
    aftersun x 4
    pre holiday serum x 2
    no7 mirror (free with parenting voucher)
    about 4 wraps
  • Has anyone tried using 2 of the Luxury Bathing £2 vouchers from the No7 wrap when buying Sanctuary bath stuff x2 and the Pamper bag? I know 1 will scan as the bag makes the till think the total is over £10, but will I get away with using 2 when buying say 2x Body washes @ £4.50 each? Or should I just play safe and make sure I have products totaling at least £10 plus the bag?

    The store near me that has Pamper bags left does not have Sanctuary Skincare, so was wondering how to use up vouchers AND get a bag.

    Any suggestions welcomed :rotfl: . My No7 voucher seems to be on elastic; the last few times I have used it I was given a new one in return!

    I have never used more than 1 of the same voucher in 1 transaction. I don't think the tills will allow it. Might be wrong though - i've never tried!

    Quite pleased with my Boots purchases this month. Had to get presents for preschool staff for when my son leaves next week, so have made up Sanctuary gift bags, putting the pamper bags away for christmas presents for his new teachers! Also got a couple of bags for aunts for christmas.

    Also got some suncream and make up for myself and sister, ended up with 4 wraps i think :)

    2 mirrors also put away for christmas presents :) another 2 wraps there!

    Plus loads of points that i intend keeping on my card to pay for 'baby' bits as we're now trying for our 3rd baby!
    Slightly worn out mum to 3 (DS1 May 03, DS2 Feb 05, DD1 Feb 08). When i grow up i think i'll become a UN Peace keeper....
  • Its nice to have a supply of things ready for pressies/gifts etc.

    Even better when they only cost pennies!

    Its amazing the number of £5-10 presents required by 3 pre-teen girls for friends bday parties etc! I always stock up on gifty things when i get the chance to keep costs to a minimum. They think its brilliant that they get such nice looking gifts to take :p

    I always show them the vouchers we have - trying to teach them how to make their pocket money go further (eg "do you really want to spend £6 on that rimmel nail varnish when if you use this voucher you can get a No7 one for £1.50?) - and its often a good test of their maths skills :rotfl:

    Howdy boosters!

    It’s the end of the month (well nearly) and so while we wait to see which fabulous products Boots are going to pay us to take away next month, lets have the customary count up how much we’ve saved (& spent!) :beer:

    I love seeing peoples photos of their loot on here but I’m not very technical and so you’ll have to make do with a list!


    My March sanctuary / No7 stuff (counted since end of £2.50 skin/hair vouchers and start of £5 No7 one):

    4 x SS wipes (4.95each) - all free with mag £3 & bag £3 voucher combo
    2 x SS hot microderbrasion facial polish (9.95each) - free with Times vouchers
    4 x SS facial wash (5.95each)- free with mag £3 & bag £3 voucher combo
    5 x SS weekend bag (10each) - free with above :rotfl:
    2 x Sanct body wash (4.95 each?) - £3ish after £2 bathing voucher
    i used a £5 SS voucher somewhere too :confused:

    3 x No 7 make up brushes (5.50each)- 50p each after £5 voucher taken off
    1 x No 7 hydroquench cream (£15)- £10 after voucher
    1 x No 7 eye makeup remover (6.50)- £1.50 after voucher
    1 x No 7 eyeshadow trio (8.50) – £3.50 after voucher
    2 x No 7 firm-your-body-tanning-balm (8.50each) - £3.50 after BOGOF and voucher
    1 x No 7 Intelligent Colour foundation (£14ish) - free with parenting voucher
    3 x No 7 wrap - free with hydro cream, suncare and foundation transactions above.
    1 x No 7 illuminating mirror (40?) - £15 after ½ price offer & voucher
    1 x No 7 secret hair trimmer (£12) – 99p after ½ price offer & voucher

    I may have more somewhere but this is the contents of my bottom drawer and secret stash at the back of the wardrobe!


    Total value of goods = £271.00ish
    Total paid = £43.50


    I reckon i've got enough stuff to make up a few top notch gift bags plus the 5 sanctuary weekend bags and 3 No7 wraps makes plenty of presents!! And of couse enough skincare products to last me months! Not bad for £40-odd quid
