I got the olay total effects hand cream which i think is really nice and smells lovely i've heard on here the time delay is nice too.

Thanks, I'm going into town tomorrow so will check them both out, might just get the time delay one as it'll cost a grand total of 0!

I do have lots of handcream but always forget to use it, not sure why I think I'll be any different this time! :rolleyes2

Edit: Thanks for the reply pdoff I think I'll steer clear of that then.

Just got back from yet another trip to Boots. I now have a cupboard full of skincare and another 15 vouchers to use up. I'm collecting items for a childrens charity raffle so can justify my daily visits. I've trained the kids to form an orderly line at the till with a skincare item and a voucher each!!

Today treated myself to some Olay masks using the skincare voucher and the £3 Olay voucher. Quite a novelty to use that voucher for the purpose for which it was intended.

I'm getting good at finding spare vouchers around the store too. Well worth keeping those eyes peeled as I don't think Men want them. A few SA's have happily given me spares that are laying around near the till. Apparently they can't even give them away.

I love the olay masks,how much are they minus the vouchers?

Hello everyone!!

Do you split your purchases so you can get the skincare vouchers?

I buy loads of items weekly in boots, even magazines - just so I can get points lol :rotfl:

Split? Obviously!! Last time it was £10, this time it is £5 to qualify for the voucher, so really worth it.
I buy £5 tmobile vouchers when I can't think of anything to buy!!

As for hand creams the one we are now getting for very little like the olay and time delay are good for ageing hands, spots, etc, so I find they are best at night. If you forget to use hand cream, but regret it because your hands are dry, I'd suggest the sanctury hand lotion http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1075030&classificationid=1039089
for £3.99, it smells really nice and it has a pump - if you worl at a desk all day like me, just press the pump and instant hydration. It is a little expensive, but if you add smthg you get the weekend bag for free. I got my lotion the last time the bag was on offer and the £5 skincare voucher worked on sanctuary. (I wonder if Boots checks this website... this time the voucher does not work on n7 nor sanctuary, and like last time, there are offers for both brands...).

Not sure if this has been mentioned but I had vouchers out of the AC machine for 500 points with any memory card purchase.
Plenty of mem cards in clearance between £1 & £5 including a 512mb SD card with mp3 player for £5. Most cards were compact flash but some were 64mb SD for £1.
Let me have 3 vouchers which went through OK.

Radiance balm? Has anyone tried it? I got one for me and my mother (for .50 who can blame me?) and since I still have one stop smoking voucher (still some left in queensway london) , I was wondering if I should treat myself to another moisturiser for £1 (I have 2 stored already) or a radiance balm... Is the balm worth it??

Thanks.
