    I could be wrong but I don't think no7 do a skin care product for combination skin, from what I have seen it is all normal/oily and normal/dry.

    I have just purchased the oily foam wash and cleansing water as it has good reviews, both are £9 so maybe a product to add to your glitch shop :) a lot of people rate the wipes but I don't think they are worth £7 or even worth using a voucher on as baby wipes are just as good and only £1, or less if you get a cheaper brand.

    Hiya

    I just thought I would add to this that the wipes are actually good for taking off good quality mascara. I would never pay £7 for them but I find that thay are good value with the vouchers. I have quite sensitive eyes so I tend to pay extra for mascara. baby wipes do not take it off properly but these wipes actually do. I should add that I don't use waterproof as I don't like the consistency, just in case anyone is looking for a wipe that is effective with waterproof mascara.

    I didn't get on with the foam wash at all. I have oily skin but I found it dried it quite a lot; never tried the cleansing water though.

    I wanted to thank you for your posts as they have hleped me quite a lot - especially with this thread!!!!! :)

    I have a £3 till voucher off make-up plus the glossy £5 Skincare, £3 Makeup (??). I tried buying one BB cream, one tinted moisturiser and one bronzer but the £3 till voucher came up as void and attracted the SA who wouldn't go away.

    The £5 skincare voucher worked but then the SA refused to let me scan the other voucher saying it wasn't allowed and that the products had all gone through as 3 for 2 (despite skincare being BOGOHP). Cheapest I could get all 3 products for was just over £10.

    I think I am missing a voucher somewhere along the lines but still, I should have been able to get the price down to at least £7ish?

    Just a note to say to all, avoid cribbs causeway like the flamin' plague! I've just had a(nother) terrible experience in there being treated like a common shoplifter when I was only putting items through separately to get more vouchers.

    I have called head office and made a formal complaint, they said if I wanted to put the items through in a hundred different transactions and get the vouchers I was well within my rights to do so! I even had the extra vouchers taken off me!

    Horrid horrid store, I feel so humiliated :(:(

    I did 5 separate transactions at lunchtime to get 5 lots of vouchers and the SA didn't bat an eyelid. Just shows how different they can be. You've been well and truly trouted!!!
  • SA told me today that the BOGOHP and 342 is finishing on 9th July - bear this in mind if you are hanging onto your vouchers until 14th as you may not get such a bargain.

    M3tro C3ntre ss tills are still printing dodgy unclear till spits on till number 1 (far left) but they look better on till 4 (far right). I haven't tried to scan one yet that printed on till 4 so will let you know how I get on tomorrow.

    I have had the no7 wipes and do think they are really good and thick too but don't think they are worth £7. I have tried alot of cheaper wipes and they dry my skin out so I moved on to baby wipes, I tend to stick with asda brand or johnsons rather than the cheap brands (ie 3 for £1). They only used to wipe the thickness of make up off then I deep cleanse and moisturise

    I agree. They are not worth £7 and I'm not sure why anyone would pay that much for wipes.

    Re the skin wipes thing, no the No7 ones are not the best but they are ok if they are cheap. Certainly I would say Primark wipes are some of the best and they're very cheap!
    I didn't know Primark do wipes. Are they full of moisture like the no7 ones then? I will go and try them if so.
