    Got one in Crawley two days ago but they didn't have much stock then.

    Didn't have to book in for a consultation or give any details, just a simple swap and lady was lovely.

    ***But to anyone who didn't get one - don't worry, it's not a very good mascara anyway and the Clinique lady told me they were bringing out a new one. It's terrible for doing bottom lashes as the way it's bent means you can't get to the outer corners

    I was pleasantly surprised as it was bigger than I expected. There is a black one and a white one and i was given the choce. The black one is a "normal" chunky brush and the white one is a curved brush. The assistant showed me the new one they are doing. It is gorgeous packaging- silver and swirly and is a teeny narrow brush specially for doing lower lashes- think she said it will retail at £10.
    I didn't have to give my details and the SA was very helpful but not at all pushy.
    PS I had an old mascara still lurking in the depths of my handbag from the last Boots promotion as I found out our Boots no longer has a Clinique counter. Thank goodness I hadn't got around to spring cleaning my hand bag!
  • Southampton have run out!
    We spend money we don't have, on things that we don't need, to impress people we don't like. I don't and I'm happy!

    I don't suppose either of the freebies are waterproof?

    went to my local debenhams (eastbourne) yesterday only to read a sign on their counter "Mascara swap samples have run out & we are unlikely to have more".
    Booo:(

  • None left in Meadowhell today either, but they did seem to think that House of Fraser would do the promotion next.
