If you click a link with an * to go through to a provider, we may get paid. This usually only happens if you get a product from it. This is what funds our team of journalists, and keeps us free to use. Yet there are two crucial things you need to know about this.
- This never impacts our editorial recommendations – if it's in, it's in there because we independently rate it best.
- You'll always get as good a deal (or better) than if you went direct.

ALL GONE. £115+ of No7 for £25
'Mystery' bundles available including full-size bronzer, body serum, palette & more
ExpiredMSE Update, Wed 12 Jan at 12.49pm: This deal has been very popular since we featured it in this week's MSE Money Tips email and all bundles have now sold out. We've left the deal information below for reference.
If you're a fan of No7 products, then buying them as part of a special bundle can be much cheaper than buying items individually. Boots is currently offering two No7 bundles* online only, each with £115+ of products for £24.95, plus £3.75 delivery or £1.50 click and collect (though see below for a trick to avoid delivery costs).
There's a twist to these bundles – they're 'mystery' boxes – so you won't know exactly what you're getting. Although as you'll see below, you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes as Boots is giving some pretty heavy clues, so we've taken a 'guess' at the contents.
Boots says the items and shades included won't differ per box set, so all 'Box 1' bundles are the same, for example. There's limited stock of each bundle, so go quick if it's something you want – there was a third bundle, 'Box 2', which has already sold out.
SOLD OUT No7 'Mystery Box 3' bundle* – Boots says it would cost £116.40 if bought individually
It contains seven full-size No7 products including mascara, powder blusher, bronzer, corrector, palette, body serum and lash serum.
Again, the contents is hidden (well, somewhat), but we've put our strongest glasses on and made some guesses of what we think could be included:
- No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced moisturising body serum, 200ml – normally £24.95
- No7 Laboratories dark circle corrector, 15ml – normally £24.95
- No7 Shimmer highlight palette – normally £14.95
- No7 Lash Impact Ultra mascara, 7ml – normally £13.95
- No7 Lash Impact lash serum, 6ml – on offer for £5 (was £16.95)
- No7 Match Made bronzer – on offer for £6.47 (was £12.95)
- No7 Match Made powder blusher – on offer for £4.47 (was £8.95)
SOLD OUT No7 'Mystery Box 1' bundle* – Boots says it would cost £117.90 if bought individually
It contains eight full-size No7 products including mascara, powder blush, bronzer, lash serum, palette, eyeshadow, body serum and gel cream.
Boots has (sort of) greyed-out the items in the image, but through the power of zooming in you can make out the labels of some products, and match up others to the original item images on the Boots website.
Here's what we think could be included:
- No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced moisturising body serum, 200ml – normally £24.95
- No7 Last Impact lash serum, 6ml – on offer for £5 (was £16.95)
- No7 Shimmer highlight palette – normally £14.95
- No7 Dramatic Lift mascara, 7ml – on offer for £6.75 (was £13.50)
- No7 HydraLuminous gel cream, 50ml – on offer for £8.97 (was £14.95)
- No7 Match Made bronzer, 10g – on offer for £6.47 (was £12.95)
- No7 Stay Perfect Trio eye shadow, 3g – normally £9.95
- No7 Match Made powder blusher, 3g – on offer for £4.47 (was £8.95)
If we assume all our guesses are correct (though remember, we don't know for sure), even factoring in Boots' current sale offers, the bundles would still cost £81.51 and £94.74 respectively, if bought individually, so you can make a big saving. For more offers, check out our analysis of Boots 'up to 50% off' January sale.

Use the Money Mantras
Before spending, use Martin’s Mantras. If you answer 'NO' to any, then don't buy!
Then ask:
- Do I need it?
- Can I afford it?
- Have you checked prices elsewhere?
Then ask:
- Will I use it?
- Is it worth it?
Free protection for all shopping!
There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
What the * means above
If a link has an * by it, that means it is an affiliated link and therefore it helps MoneySavingExpert stay free to use, as it is tracked to us. If you go through it, it can sometimes result in a payment or benefit to the site. It's worth noting this means the third party used may be named on any credit agreements.
You shouldn’t notice any difference and the link will never negatively impact the product. Plus the editorial line (the things we write) is NEVER impacted by these links. We aim to look at all available products. If it isn't possible to get an affiliate link for the top deal, it is still included in exactly the same way, just with a non-paying link. For more details, read How this site is financed.

Martin Lewis: Got a cash ISA? You should probably ditch it

Press the rewind button and go way back to April 2015... Possibly on the telly in the corner of your living room, I was on-air at the time urging savers as usual to use their new tax-free cash ISA allowance – because 'money was nicer in an ISA'. But things changed in 2016. -

6 May 2022![]()
I set up MoneySavingExpert.com nearly 20 years ago – when arguably the modern web was still in its infancy. With an abundance of self-belief (something I had too much of then, as I realise now) I decided not to read any books, or follow prevailing wisdom on how a site should operate – and just do it my way. -
