Boots are continuously handing out £5 No.7 vouchers if you spend more than £5 in store, so over the years I have found my favourites and what I think the best ways to spend the vouchers are.
Nail Polishes
I know you probably all saw that coming, but for £2 who can complain! As you can see I mostly tend to purchase nail polishes with my £5 voucher but this may be down to my nail polish addiction. Having said that, they apply nicely and stay chip free for a couple of days, so are great value.
Make-up Brushes and Accessories
Whilst trying to branch out from nail polishes I found myself trying out their make-up brushes and accessories. I can’t say I would pay £5.75 for a pencil sharpener, however I was in need of one and at 75p you can’t go wrong.
I have only tried the 2 brushes pictured above, but they both are great cheaper alternatives to MAC and Sigma brushes, or if you are just starting to get into brushes and want to try some cheaper ones. I would definitely recommend the eyeshadow blend and contour brush, it’s soft and is great at blending.
Skin Care
More recently I have been trying out their skin care range and I have to say I am really liking it so far! Originally £7.00, the Quick Thinking face wipes are expensive especially since there are other great face wipes at over half the price. They are however great at removing your makeup and leave your skin feeling nice and refreshed. These are one of my favourite face wipes, therefore I find myself stocking up on them when the £5 vouchers are about.
Again, both of these products leave my skin feeling clean and refreshed. They are huge and therefore will last you a while, so I would definitely recommend trying out some of their skin care if you are unsure what to purchase.
I have also heard good things about their eye make-up remover so shall definitely be trying that next.
What do you like to purchase with your £5 No.7 vouchers? Let me know if there is anything you recommend!
Lots of Love

LOL, I stock pile the face wipes whenever I get a £5 voucher - they're so expensive otherwise and they're my favourite on the market. x
ReplyDeleteI have recently bought the eye make up remover with one of my vouchers it's great :D x
ReplyDeleteI bought the eyeshadow brush with mine as I am dire need of a few brushes :) It's great! Also the fake tan mousse is worth a purchase - it gives a great colour and lasts AGES! Don't do it after shaving though...it's a killer and not the best smelling one out there! xx
ReplyDeleteohh shall have to give that a go! Sounds good x
DeleteAh I never know what to get with those vouchers :)

Cute nails colours! <3
ReplyDeleteI love the make up wipes and always stock up with the voucher :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of getting the wipes or brushes this weekend :)

They are both worth a try :)
DeleteThanks for the tip, I am going to take a look at the brushes. Normally I just stock up on concealer, I am struggling to find a natural brand concealer that doesn't cause irritation so I use the Instant Radiance at the moment.
ReplyDeleteI have so many of these. I just keep throwing them away though. There's probably a few lying around in my purse, or bin... so I can get a cheap nail polish now. :)

Great post, I love those vouchers!
ReplyDeletelove the post, I'm not very clever when I use my voucher, usually get one thing which I still have to pay a load of money for :S x
ReplyDeletegreat post! given me some great ideas! i didn't even know no7 did brushes! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab idea :)
ReplyDeletei remember when I used to just throw mine away when i got them,
then when i joined blogger i learnt about the bargain £2.00 nail polishes,
The other day i needed an eyeliner and picked up an amazing one for £2.75 originally £7.75, i wouldn't pay that much but using my £5 off voucher i got a bargain :)
I may try the face wipes and there make up brushes,
Fabulous post hun and definitely helpful.
♥
Definitely agree with buying the nail varnishes - I've even got my mum hooked! xx
ReplyDeleteGreat post xx I always end up wondering how to spend these as don't have many products from the no 7 range xx just discovered our blog it's fab xx maybe we could follow ech other xx
ReplyDeleteLoved this post. I generally use my vouchers to buy brushes, and the eyeshadow blend and contour is my secret weapon for a super easy smokey eye. Couldn't be without mine!

I always use them to buy the Radiance Boosting Cleanser- it's my favourite and such a bargain when you have £5 off! I've never actually tried No7 brushes but might look into it next time I need some if they're that good xxx
ReplyDeletewow that is amazing! <3 i love the nail polish's

I also like to get brushes, as I like them and I have too many nail polishes! But last time I got the new BB Cream :)
ReplyDeleteReally love this post! Great to branch out and get away from just getting nail polishes! xxx
ReplyDeleteI've never bought anything but nail varnish with mine haha but i might branch out to a lipgloss because they're pretty good from No7 or a brush :)
