I quite fancy trying the Poppy King lipstick range myself, though I could be really sensible and invest in a new eyeliner brush with it.. Not sure of its quality though so I'll have a look next time I'm in Boots.

I quite often give mine to someone brandishing no7 goods on my way out of the shop, otherise i lose/forget about it Blush

Pascha · 23/02/2012 16:29

I've never yet remembered to do anything with it.

Methe · 23/02/2012 16:31

Make up brushes

mrsmartin · 23/02/2012 16:32

They usually include ruby and milly in the no7 offer so I either get an eyeshadow brush (can never have too many and they are only £5) or the No7 eye make up remover (which is very good!!).

Beanbagz · 23/02/2012 16:33

I've never been able to use it as my skin reacts to so much stuff that i play safe & buy Clinique.

I wish they'd stop giving my vouchers i can't use Sad

Fluffy1234 · 23/02/2012 16:34

Nail varnish every time.

boogiewoogie · 23/02/2012 16:38

A shame Beanbagz Sad.

That's very kind Byeck :)

bath soak

Lulumama · 23/02/2012 16:39

usually cleanser or facial wipes or the odd nail varnish. I don't ever like their lipstick colours, or the nail varnish unless it is vvv dark or clear. their lipsticks are odd , aren't they? and the eyeshadow too. Or is it me?

SardineQueen · 23/02/2012 16:48

Nail varnish
And I always regret it as imo it is poor coverage and little staying power. Then i go and do it all over again Confused

Their tinted moisturiser is quite nice
mascara not bad either

SardineQueen · 23/02/2012 16:48

brushes is a good idea

mrsmartin · 23/02/2012 17:04

They also do packs of 3 cleansing cloths for £5 - not exciting in the least but can never have too many and if they're free...

MrJelly · 23/02/2012 17:09

I use Boots no 7 cleanser, exfoliator and moisturiser so usually just use it towards that - however, if I do want to treat myself, a nail varnish (although the range of colours is a bit bland) or mascara if I need some.

EllenParsons · 23/02/2012 17:11

I have spent them on nail varnish a couple of times. Last time I used it on an eyelash curler.

Are they giving them out again at the moment then?

TaurielTest · 23/02/2012 17:11

DS loves the nail varnish displays with all the colours, so I let him choose us one. He went for a classy dark pink that got us a lot of compliments Grin

beachyhead · 23/02/2012 17:14

Yup, got one today...

FriendofDorothy · 23/02/2012 17:21

I nearly always buy their facial wipes. I also like their eyeshadows.

AmethystMoon · 23/02/2012 17:24

Facial wipes here too. I don't use them every day ( I try to be good) but they are fab for when I am very tired or travelling.

MooMinCow · 23/02/2012 17:26

the skin renewal microdermabrasion scrubs (face version and the body one) are fab and last for ages. leave skin so smooth (but go gently to begin with!)

they do a smoky eyeliner (looks like a liquid liner but is actually a powder) is lovely too. comes in black, brown and shimmery grey.

wildfig · 23/02/2012 17:26

the No7 eyeliner brush is pretty good, and the foundation brush is excellent - Lisa Eldridge uses one in her online tutorials.

The lipsticks ARE weird, aren't they? I love a lipstick but none of the No7 colours ever call out to me. The only one I like is that orangey-red Siren.

MooMinCow · 23/02/2012 17:28

oh and their concealer brush is fab too. looks like a mini foundation brush.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/02/2012 17:28

Shower gel for dp or make up brushes. I hate No 7. I always used to get Ruby and Millie stuff but think they've stopped doing it now.

Lulumama · 23/02/2012 17:28

@wildfig, glad it's not just me. I love make up and browsing all the different ranges, but I have only ever bought and liked 2 No 7 lippies, both v similar colours, a kind of nude. I might invest in the dermabrasion stuff though, it has good reviews

privateplane · 23/02/2012 17:31

They do a shower gel thats usually with the bath products on a seperate aisle.

Think it's about £8 not worth it but smells ok for £3 with the voucher so usually get a couple for holidays

MissBeehivingUnderTheMistletoe · 23/02/2012 17:56

Foundation brush is vv good

I like their exquisite curl mascara

The illuminator is good (designed by Lisa Eldridge)

And I got a great slatey blue/grey matt eyeshadow pallette there recently
