    Hello all u expert "boots glitchies" out there!

    I'm afraid I have got very confused with all your amazing bargains so just wanted to ask in very simple terms are any of the mascaras glitching? I only have the glossy coupons and a very small Boots shop to work with (no self service tills!) and don't really want the moisturisers. Is there a good glitchy deal to be found for the mascaras? Any advice would be very much appreciated as the vouchers run out this Sunday. It sounds amazing that some people have actually got change from their purchases! Fantastic! Many thanks in advance! x

    Thank you for updating this thread with your buys.

    I am new to Boots glitching so I wanted help if anyone can offer it please.

    I will buy something from a manned till and something from ss to get the vouchers.

    I have a £2 off mascara/lipstick voucher from the AC machine so I want to use this in my first transaction if I can. I am interested in anything that will make me pay pennies. I don't want to get into a negative balance though.

    Once I've done that one, I guess I won't have a £2 voucher to use, so what would I get the next time round that I could rinse and repeat?

    Hopefully someone can help this confused person. :)

    Hi guys

    I'm pretty thick lol well in the mornings I am. Can one of you lovely lady's tell me how I can get a good deal I don't have any self scan at my boots stores.

    I am needing day night cream or any moisturiser as ran out of my no 7 creams & also needing mineral powder. So what no 7 products can I get as I believe from reading the thread I can get normal moisturiser to x

    Hello fellow Bootsers
    Im having a bit of difficulty getting my preggo mind round this.

    I only have one shiny voucher and would like to get 2 tinted moist and 1 BB or 2 BB and one tinted moist.

    Would this work with the glitch and what should i expect to pay?

    TIA

    yes, that will work, and with one shiny voucher (remember to separate the 2 halves and scan them individually) you will get one of your 3 products free (the cheapest), one half price, and get £8 off the total after discounts.

    Where are people getting the shinny voucher from- I seem to have missed that bit?
    Hope I manage to get some today before this finishes
    Aj

    the shiny/glossy voucher is the one from the manned tills, so you spend £4 or more on toiletries in Boots, and pay at a manned till. With your receipt you'll get a glossy No7 voucher.

    could you use a bronzer? Best deal for you will be a mascara and bronzer pallette or bronzer pearls -

    ie (just example prices, you may decide on differet mascara) -
    mascara £11.00
    bronzing pearls £9.95 (but half price on current bogohp deal) £4.97
    total = £15.97 - £8 glossy voucher (remember to separate the 2 halves and hand them over separately) = £7.97 to pay.

    If you have to use a manned till they might not take both vouchers, so hand over the £5 off one first.

    Even though the vouchers run out on Sunday, I suspect this deal (bogohp etc) may end today, so you'd be best to do this today.

    you might get more than one £2 off mascara/lipstick acm voucher - I had 4 of them :rotfl:.

    You won't be able to "rinse and repeat" unless you have a glossy voucher for each transaction, so you may need to spend £4 at the manned tills more than once.

    with one glossy voucher, one ss tillspit, and one £2 off mascara, you can buy a tinted moisturiser, or a bronzing pearls, or a bronzer pallette, or a BB cream, plus the mascara of your choice (check the website for the prices). If after your calculations (ie bogohp on the cheapest of the 2 items you are buying, and then £16 off with your combination of 2 glossy halves of the voucher and the ss tillspit) you will have a negative balance, just buy a conditioner or something like that, to add to your basket, to take the total over a negative balance.

    Then, if you want to rinse and repeat (as you'll get another ss tillspit from your shop above) you'll need another glossy voucher too. If you have the 3 No7 vouchers, and no £2 off mascara voucher, you can still pay pennies if for example you buy a tinted moisturiser (£11.50) and mascara (£11.00) which after the bogohp and £16 off in vouchers would cost £1.

    does your mineral powder count as skincare or make-up on Boots website?

    you need to buy a glitchy item in every transaction to make the most of the skincare 342 deal.
