Boots Grabbit Bargains Part 17 - Post your finds here

Hi fellow Bootsers

I'd like to do this transaction but not sure if it would work, and my apologies, but I really can't go back through the whole thread as I'm at work. I'd like:

1 x No. 7 P & P Gift Set £20.00
1 x Highlighter thing £10.25
1 x GWP

could I use my free highlighter voucher, then the £5 off voucher so paying only £15, or would this cancel the GWP? I'm fairly new to this Bootsing so I get confused as to what I can have and in what order to give in the vouchers, sorry!

Any help would be appreciated as I'm hoping to go there lunchtime. Thanks

What kind of smell is "Insolence" - set is now £13.50 on Boots so a good buy if its a nice perfume.

There are two similar Insolence. 'Insolence' in a black and silver box and 'My Insolence' in a pink and silver box. I prefer the 'Insolence' although my friend prefers the 'My Insolence' .

The one on .com is 'My Insolence', that has 75ml of its own body lotion.
The 'Insolence that I like comes with 75ml of the special edition 'Shimmering Insolence' body lotion.

This is what it says of the perfume. I love it, it is a slightly sweet fragrance.

Guerlain Insolence Eau de Toilette 30ml


£26.00 Click to enlarge

Guerlain Insolence is the sparkle in the eye of a carefree spirit; a fearless smile, a silence that expresses many thoughts. It is casual grace, an ironic elegance. It is panache, verve and spirit. It is the new Guerlain feminine fragrance: Insolence. The INSOLENT woman? She is audacious. She makes her own choices and dances to a different tune. Free, spontaneous and truly herself, this utterly irresistable woman does not conform to stereotypes. She is INSOLENCE!
30 ml | £86.67 per 100 ml£26.00

The 'Insolence' gift sets in the shops are £17.33, the 'My Insolence' are £17.99.
Unless of course they go down.

I got the GWP and the highlighter with the P&P on Sunday. The highlighter did beep though, but the SA gave it me anyway. The £5 voucher was no problem in still giving the GWP.

Hi - sorry if this has been posted in this Boots thread before and I apologise for being off "Boots" topic.

In the press recently there has been loads of talk about a Anti Wrinkle cream produced and sold by Aldi which contains Q10- there is a thread on MSE about it LINK. I was a bit wary of it myself as I have really sensitive skin - but 2 weeks ago decided to give it a go as its only £1.89 for a 50ml jar and is available in both day and night versions. I have to say its really good and whilst upon the first couple of applications it did seem a tad too rich but after those first couple of applications I have to say I am really pleased with it and it has made my skin feel more soft and tighter around my eye area, and I am glad to say I have had no skin irritation with it - which I normally do when trying out a new skin cream.

I wont be buying P&P from boots anymore as I havent found it to be the wonder cream its suposed to be. But I wont be giving up all my other boots glitches etc. So a massive MSE saving of £14+ per jar compared to buying P&P - thats got to be good Money saving.

Anyway thought I would share this with you all just in case you missed the original thread.

i see the palmolive offer has finiished, I didn't order in the end as no one posted whether or not the shower gels were full sized or samples. I also had my order swiped out of my basket this morning but i did order the my little pony set for my niece would have liked one of those elle boxes!

My order has just arrived.....huge box, twice as big as it needed to be.
I can confirm that the Palmolive is full size. Only thing I was disappointed with was the Carex wipes, which were a lot smaller than I thought they would be. I had thought they would be like Baby wipes size, especially as they were 99p for 15. but the pack is only the size of a pack of tissues. Hope the wipes are bigger....mind you I could always take the wipes back and keep the Palmolive:D

It is 'Boots' really as you are comparing products.
I like Aldi for lots of things, in fact my computer was from there, three years ago and has been brilliant.
They may be no frills shops, but why pay for fancy shops?
It is just having the courage to try brands that you don't know.

I fancied trying it after people on here have recommended and I just realised this morning that it is one of the small miniatures in the "scent of occasion" gift set, that I got for half price £9.

I've only just put it on and I know you need to wait awhile for it to adjust to your skin chemistry but it seems a very nice smell, not too heavy but not wishy washy. At the moment for some reason blancmange springs to mind, with a hint of parma violets, don't know why maybe I'm hungry lol.

I'll see what comments I get today, if any, and let you know what I think later. hth

Parcelline have just arrived with the Palmolive order and they are full size 200ml bottles. They come in a box of 6 which is great as they take up less storage room than if they were loose. Also I have 24 vouchers off further purchases for 75p a time, even at Boots online. Only one per order though!
