    I think most of the clearances are being phased out ready for xmas stock - none of my local stores have anything decent left now.

  • I know this MAY have been posted before, so apologies first. I got the Botanics Facial Wipes FREE with the mini travel size Botanics Skin Toner for £1.49. I assume this will work with ALL the travel size skincare EXCEPT it does not automatically come off at the till. But I explained that the offer signs do not specify any size, or specific product to qualify and so the SA voided the wipes off the total. I only wanted the toner so did not bother to try with anything else in the mini range.

  • When i returned 5 different items of time delay (from christmas promotion) i put on a smile and said my work colleges had made a lovely basket up for my 30th birthday i said i only used clinique and i thought the time delay was done as a joke :D
    She said i would have to exchange in that shop that didn't do clinique but i kept pleasent and asked if she could put it on a gift card to save me the hassle of going to another shop (two small kids in tow) she said "i shouldn't really but just this once" :T :T

    I did get clinique in another shop but i suppose i could have got anything.
