what is this? would someone explain pretty please

If you buy a minimum of 2 clinique products during this promotional 2-3 weeks period, aka Clinique Bonus Time, then you receive a 'small' giftset, ranging from between 6-10 items, all sample sizes and to try and test or use in holiday washbag or give as presents!! (smaller retailers have around 6/7 items in their gifts, Boots/JLewis/HofF/Debenhams have about 7/9 items and Selfridege/Harrods/Harvey Nichols have about 9/10

the items could be either skincare or makeup (sometimes you may have to buy at least one skincare item and so far as far as i calculate the minimum price for a clinique items is around £10/£12 for a lip/eye liner or concealer or soap). usually majority of items are full price and if the giftset do go down in price then i think that no matter how many items are inside it still counts as one item.

the items basically consist of some kind of cosmetic bag, mascara, full size lipstick/mini gloss and maybe other 'goodies' like a blusher, eyeshadow, makeup palette with few colours of lip/eye, or creams and potions and they could be worth at least £40-50 min if you work it out per ml and per £.

its exciting (lol) to find out what the gifts are especially as makeup is part of a girls obsession:D :eek: !

you could have a look at the diary dates to see when the times are but the gifts are usually a 'secret' until the time (it's good to shop around to know when CBT to pick up a gift with a lipstick colour not tried or eyeshadow not in our collection!!)
