Boots No7 Skincare and Cosmetic/Makeup deals!

Yesterday I had spent over £5 in my Local Boots store and received a coupon with £5 off No7 skincare products and £3 off  No7 Cosmetics also In-store at Boots at the moment is a 3for2 deal on most No7 products!

(Hope you are keeping up with me?)

So Basically I bought One pack of Beautiful skin Quick Thinking facial wipes (£7) from the Beauty section and 2 nail polishes (£5.50 each) worth £18 and I used my coupons with the 3for2 deal and got them for £4.50...( Hurrah!!)

(The detail: The offer excludes gift sets, electrical beauty, beauty services, gifts marked with the green Christmas stickers and reduced-price items. Also, only one voucher can be redeemed per item.)

Of course you don't have to buy the facial wipes and nail polishes, they were the cheapest I could find at the time and I wanted to update my nail polish collection with the latest seasons colours!

To get this to work (You must buy at least one skincare item and one make-up item. As make-up's much cheaper than skincare, picking two make-up items and one skincare will maximise the 3for2 saving.)

To ensure the saving is big stick to the one skincare, two make-up items rule; and ensure the cheapest item isn't far cheaper than the next dearest. It's best to get the things you are missing out of your make-up kit rather than items you don't need just because it's the cheapest option.

NEW No7 Foundation Match Made Service!

I was so excited when I saw the Lisa Eldridge No7 Foundation Match Made Service video promotion, I had to go to my Local Boots Store and give it a go!

The No7 Assistant Mandi was so helpful and she was really excited about the new device which takes 27 photographs each time it clicks on 2 separate parts of the facial skin, I had my jaw line cleansed and checked with the device and it was so quick my results were Cool Ivory, Mandi the Assistant massaged in the Instant Radiance Foundation which melted away into my skin and disappeared into my face without any notice of it!  So now I can concentrate on the new Foundation Ranges which Lisa has helped develop for No7 in the exact colour match to my skin. I can choose Cool Ivory in all the ranges of foundations which include BB creams, Instant Radiance, Essentially Natural, Beautifully Matte, Lift & Luminate etc...

I had a good look and was getting advice from Mandi and the Skin assessment leaflet which helps you pick which coverage and finish you would like from a foundation.

I chose the Instant Radiance which gives dull skin a healthy glow and contains SPF15. I wanted a healthy glow and to pep up my skin and because my skin is dry the Instant Radiance will be gentle enough not to make my skin sting and be flakey from any skin that usually becomes dry from the applying foundation to my face.





No7 Instant Radiance Foundation SPF15 30ml  £12.95 RRP

No7 Instant Radiance Foundation Tester

Instant Radiance Foundation blended into skin.

I got home and tried my new foundation out and I absolutely LOVE it!!!! The effect it gives the skin is medium coverage with a natural radiant finish. I highly recommend buying it and I paid £9.95 for 30ml because I had a No7 voucher which entitles you to £3 off  make-up or £5 off No7 skincare products.

Get to Boots and try the No7 Foundation Match Made Service ASAP!! You will not regret it! (hope not!)

Tesco Vitamin E Range Review

I have been addicted to buying lipsticks and lipglosses of late and I'll try to do a post with all of them in, I have been buying old classic colours and new glosses out on the budget market, But here's a review of 3 products I bought from my local Tesco Extra Store which is the "New Vitamin E Range"

Vitamin E (L-R) Eye cream, Illuminating Lotion & Moisture Cream

Vitamin E (L-R) Eye cream, Illuminating Lotion & Moisture Cream(with Flash) 

Vitamin E Eye Cream SPF15

Vitamin E Moisture Cream SPF15


Vitamin E Illuminating Lotion SPF15 (without Flash)
Vitamin Illuminating Lotion SPF15 rubbed into skin

Vitamin E Illuminating lotion SPF15 (with Flash)

honest opinion and I can't say I like any of them apart from the Illuminating Lotion, I can only apply a small amount of any of these creams/lotion to my skin as my eyes sting for England!!

 I feel that someone else may Love these products but myself, I cannot! If it stings or has a strong scent I am not even going there!!!!

I bought these for a bargain price of £1.66 each but I thought that if they are for the face that they would be fine to use but they're too strong for my skin and the scent is over powering.

I was impressed with the SPF15 and the Illuminating lotion is nice and shimmery on the skin but I will only use it on the skin on my body and not on my face as My eyes stream and sting so bad I have to wash it all off  and put cold compresses on my eyes!! I may be the only one who is having this reaction but all I can say is You can only try and see!
