    i got mine from Boots in Preston. The EA counter lady was fab, didn't push a consultation on me either. I got a fab xmas prezzie for my mum and earned extra Boots points so treated myself to a new mascara with the advantage points.

    :D

    I went to Deepdale yesterday, and that was where the SA had gone AWOL from. Didn't have time to go into Preston itself.

    I bet I miss out now - I don't have time to go till Friday.

    This is a really good deal, told the wife biggrin.gif
  • Hi - got mine today. Bought the magazine, eventually found the voucher.
    I had to have a consultation, and buy 'something' in the ea range.
    The consultation was great, and I was given a few extra trial sizes of things. I bought a very pretty lip gloss as my 'item'.
    I had my hair cut at lunch and surprised all the other mums by looking 'smart' for a change !:rotfl:
    Dont know whether to keep it or give it to step mother for Christmas - I may just try to keep up being smart!

    I got mine today too from The Boots in Eldon Square, Newcastle upon Tyne. Spoke to a very nice lady who said I would need to have the skincare consultation but I told her I already used EA products so she just showed me some new under eye cream, gave me a sample of it to try and then gave me my eye shadow pallet. Also came up on the till at £10, not £25
    Good wine needs to breathe, if it stops breathing try mouth to mouth.

  • Boots in Horsham are out of stock but expecting deliveries. EA rep said that she would be doing a 30 minute skin consultation and would 'expect to make a sale' Phone number for checking delivery 01403 253053 ask for EA counter.

    I wouldn't mind knowing what she said about applying the colours if you've a minute to share, room512? I'm always useless at that sort of thing:o
    Maybe I should have had the consultation:rolleyes:

    The SA told me to put the light colour all over my lids and then put a darker colour halfway across the eyelid - had to admit it did look okay but I would have done that anyway! Didn't really need a 30 mins sales push to buy EA products.
