  • I use the tan in the No.7 range however have never thought to use these vouchers!

    would this work with

    2 * No7 Perfectly Bronzed Self Tan Quick Dry Tinted Lotion Medium/Dark 12.95

    and a bronzer

    No7 Perfectly Bronzed Starfish Bronzer 11.50?

    or woud i have to find a dearer make up item so the tan comes through as free?

    Hi, the later is right. You need a skincare and makeup item as the two paid items to use a £5 skincare and £3 makeup vouchers in the 3 for 2 offer. Hths!

    Thanks very much to the OP, and to everyone else for their advice on how to maximise the vouchers. I did a couple of shops over the weekend (and have lots of lovely stocking fillers for my two daughters now!). I thought I'd share an added little bargain which I found - there were a couple of useful vouchers in the Advantage Card machine - half price No 17 crackle glaze top coat nail polish (which brings it down to £1.99) PLUS a voucher for a free No 17 glitter eye shadow when you pucrhase any other No 17 item.

    Therefore I bought the No 7 make up remover wipes, two No 7 nail polishes, the No 17 crackle glaze and a No 17 glitter eye shadow and used all the vouchers, paying £6.49. The tills didn't recognize the free glitter eyeshadow, but the SA couldn't see why not as I had bought the crackle glaze polish and, after checking with her Manager who agreed, put it through manually. I did this combination four times, with the merry-go-round of No 7 vouchers (and the ACM kept printing out the No 17 ones - they didn't seem to be limited).
  • See, funny you should say this as when i have tried to use the vouchers as part of a transaction i get told that the vouchers have to be used with a different load of items. I usually end up throwing them away...
    Does this mean that there are new rules or something that mean you can use the vouchers?
    please let me know as i'm off out shopping tomorrow for pay day!! In relation to boots, does anyone know of any foundations that cover impurities on your skin? i have very patchy skin and foundations just seem to avoid staying on my face:( any help??????:D

    They're two sepparate vouchers, one for skincare, one for make up, that's why they can be combined.

    Thank you for this, got myself a pack of face wipes, 1 nail colour and a pack of eyeshadow applicators. Got lunch and other bits too, saving £14.45.

    Just to let people know who are looking to use theirvouchers as cheaply as they can, I have just had a total spend of less than£4.50 after the vouchers were taken off. I wasn’t looking for the cheapest way of doingit, I just got the items I was wanting to buy, so it may be possible to payeven less if you look around. The items I got were No 7 Sun Protection Hair Spritzat £6.50 (this counts as skincare and gets really good reviews) plus two No 7 nailpolishes at £5.50 each – the vouchers take the hair spritz down to £1.50 andone of the nail polishes to £2.50, the second nail polish was my free item onthe 3 for 2 promotion, so total spend = £4. Hope this helps someone.
    :)
  • I don't know if anyone else has had this but I tried to get the £18 worth of skincare and cosmetics from Boots for £4.50 using the 3 for 2 and vouchers and they told me they have had a change of policy and the vouchers could only be used on separate transactions. :(

    they always say that ;). Either try a different sales assistant or go through the Self Serve tills.
