Well they are already appearing on ebay. Pity, means less available for those that actually want it

I dont approve of this ebay thing - mostly cos companies who get a whiff of this may stop giving them out. but I dont really feel that it means less are available for those who want it. One of the ones I got from Boots- the guy there had a whole drawer full.. they seem to have got plenty of stock in.Besides you only have 10 days acording to the offer or while stocks last.

Imo the Glamour one is better if you don't live or work in a large city as at least it came with the magazine. I had the Full size High Beam once and it lasted for ages, so I should get a good few use out of the freebie ones as I only use a little bit each time.

For me the Grazia one isn't worth my while as I would have to make a special trip and pay for travel costs and car parking, and with no guarantee that they'll have enough stock for everyone.

Good point - tho i dont live in a large city and we have 2 Benefit stockists in our small town.

i just made a trip to get the benefit stuff at a counter and knew nothing about it and didnt seem to have anything. Will try another and will then give up i think, really want it tho!

Just to let you know Edinburgh House of Fraser (princess st) had no stock yesterday.
I managed to get mine from the large Princess St Boots. As soon as i showed them the voucher they knew excactly what to do! I love it

Just an update for Wimbledon people.

Went into Debenhams this lunchtime only to be told Benefit counter girl was off today, all kits had gone yesterday and none left today but told to come back tomorrow when she was back in and they *should have* more stock in.

They did mention to try Elys (department store) - but Benefit girl was on her lunch break - no signs of any kits around but plenty of promo stuff re these items.

So, let's try tomorrow!

Just to specify - it seems it *should be* the department stores listed on the Grazia advert/voucher. No others. I just showed anyone (including Elys) the page from Grazia.

All participating stores should have this freebie in stock, I think so be extra pushy and badger them. I would!

Well how stupid am I? On the way to taking my little boy to playschool I called into the Co-op to get mag. Well, with him helping himself to handfuls of Ben 10/Waybaloo/ZingZilla magazines I just grabbed my "Glamour" magazine that mentioned Benefit on the front. It was £2 but guessed it might've been £1 at WHS as special. So........not only do I have a more expensive magazine, I have the wrong one and the Benefit freebie that was supposed to be in the mag and has been NICKED!!!! On top of that I went all the way to Tesco to get the glitched beers and got that wrong too!!!
Cup of tea time me thinks.......:(

dimummy - that's horrible!!! Have a hug xo

I got my copy, plus an extra one for my mum (she hardly spends any money on beauty stuff for herself, bless her) - then trotted off to Boots in Donegall Place and got two sets. The girl was lovely but said that the sets had almost run out. :eek:

I hope everyone gets one. TBH, Grazia are being irresponsible saying that there is 'one for every reader' in HUGE letters on the cover if there aren't actually enough to go around.

Thanks again OP, I wouldn't have known about this if you hadn't posted it.

Thanks for my hug hun, see a freebie that made me smile .

Is there anything that Grazia will do if I manage to get the correct magazine and no sets left? Anyone encountered this before?
