    One of the Glasgow stores just told me that they had another 'drop' so have plenty in store. So for anyone who has been told they are out of stock it is always worth phoning and asking before you travel.

    I got mine in Ayr with no problems at all and with no suggestion of a consultation, infact the EA sa was lovely and telling me how it was a great freebie and was telling all her friends. I took the whole page with me, and it DOES ay an OPTIONAL consultation and a freebie, no mention of WHEN you get a consultation or having to purchase anything else. I also made sure they had them sitting out on the stand before approaching the sa so she couldnt say oos. It is in a wee red box but had one open next to it for a ticket saying £10.00

    I meant to add, the lady I soke to was lovely too, she says that the skincare consultation would only take 5 minutes, she would than give me the gift and some vouchers to come back for a full make-up consultation another day.

    Thanks to OP for this lovely treat. Burnley have them in. Served by A lovely young lady, no mention of the consultation which was a pity as I was looking forward to some pampering. [Grumpy Grandad said they probably took one look at me and realised they did not have enough opening hours in a day to make a difference Cheek]
  • got mine, and didnt need a consultation!!!!!
  • I went to get mine today!!!! By time I got into my Boots I was a soggy mess. A consultant rushed to me with tissues, BLESS her. I then got told I couldn't get one from there. My nearest was 30 miles away!!!! My boat was out of fuel I said!! I was quite upset. It was to be a part birthday prezzy for my daughter.
    :confused:
  • I went to Boots in Horsham, West Sussex and asked for the Free Elizabeth Arden Gift and produced the whole page from Prima with the coupon. The EA consultant would not let me have the Free Eyeshadow without a consultation which I would have to book as she was far to busy that day. She told me that there was "no way" she was giving away a £36 eyeshadow for free. As the RRP price is £25.00 in the article I think she was adding on the extra pounds for effect! I declined the consultation as her own makedup didn't look that great anyway & I prefer my own (less is more) look. I was mildly annoyed she lied about the RRP ! Shame On You. I politely left the store.

    Hey

    I got mine from the Boots in the Oracle in Reading today. The woman said i needed a consulation and i argued a little bit with her (nicely!) and in the end i agreed to have one. She tried to book me in for Wed but i said i could only come today so she booked me in for later that day and said it would take 30 mins. When i turned up she seemed a bit surprised and asked whether i wanted skin care or make up etc. I dont ever wear make up (the eyeshadow is a xmas present for my sis) so i said just the skin care please. She pampered me for about 5 mins then she said because i dont wear make up theres no point doing much else unless i want to. I didnt want anything else done so she gave me the eyeshadow :)

    She was a little bit off with me at first but when i went back we were talking whilst she was doing my consultation and she was very nice :) I thought it was v nice of her to let me just have a 5 min consulatation as im not really interested in makeup :)
