Angie100, I wasn't allowed to use bluey on bourgois tweezers today either, says on voucher colour cosmetics so was a no go for the SA. Must be one of the SA dependent ones, got Bourgois glass nail file last week using bluey.
Was worth a try though!!

Strange though because she did try a voucher and it beeped but whether it was the haircare bit she tried I don't know!!!! I got 2 sharpeners on Thurday no problem and 2 tweezers last week so will just try again somewhere else this week!

SA was nice though and gave me 3 more vouchers:p

It should be free but I think it will only work if you actually have a JK counter cause this is where the sign is saying free make up bag when you spend £15 on JK products. I have got 2 of them now and each time it comes up with the price and I send the assistant to see the sign and they over ride it on the till and put it through free of charge. The nail files and wipes also usually have cheaper SEL than they do on the normal shelves in the store so you can send the SA to check that also!!!
I got the bag on Thurday.

Trafford Centre didn't have a sign up about the makeup bag, though I walked round the JK counter twice!! No SA around to ask, so I cut my losses and just got some nail files. V nice nail files, btw... (but then they ought to be at that price!)

Yeah they look nice but mine wore down flat quite quickly. My mum has one and her nails are very thin and hers hasn't worn down so I guess it depends on your nails! OK for nothing though!!!!

The sign for the free bag was on the bottom shelf and not that visible really but as I had seen it on my last visit and got a bag I knew to look out for it. They are obviously trying to keep it quiet!!!! Nice bag but not worth £8.81!!!!

Lucky you love. They used to have a FREE GIFT sign up before the POINTS OFFER came on. It's not up at my local, or wasn't the last time I checked. If I'm better, I'll hit the sales on Saturday, but you know what this man flu can be like, I'll probably be out of action until June! LOL. Anyway, time for a paracetomol and bed.

PS. I agree the nail files are quite pants. They run out really quickly. I thought it would last a lot longer. Seen as everyone at home, including moi and my brothers are now addicted, I am going to get about 25+, they are free ain't they. Might as well.

I have a request (apologies for being a wee bit cheeky )

If anyone has an eyeliner from the current GWP I would appreciate it as I never managed to get the gwp with all the confusion about expired vouchers. I don't have this colour but would like it for my 'collection' :rotfl: but can't justify a spend to get the GWP. I may be able to swap something or cover postage

TIA

Those of us who bought JK files have gained with the points, some more than others, depending on the price and points awarded.

But, honestly, who thinks that they will continue to buy them when all offers are just a distant memory?

I thought they were great to start with, but after just a few weeks of use, I've had to throw one away. I usually do the same with an ordinary emery board, but then I've probably bought a packet of 10 for 50p down the market!

Mimi get yourself a nice fluffy hot water bottle! I love mine and cuddle it like a teddy at night!!! You will feel nice and warm and it's surprising how much better you can feel with abit of heat!

I bet they removed the signs so that they didn't have to give the bonus points and the free bag!!!!

Hope you feel better soon!

This is true, I would not pay the price for them without the bonus points!!! I bet they won't sell any for months after the bonus offer is over!!! mine wore down very quickly!
