  • I got a £3 one. The best prezzie I could find without spending too much more (not a lover of body shop tbh) was 3 lip balms at £2 each which were on a 3 for 2 offer.

    3x Lip Balm - £6
    3 for 2 - £4

    Magazine card - £-3
    Cash - £1

    There was also a packet of small animal shaped soaps for £3.50
  • Well, local shop had a copy....I have code 49505...so that looks like £15!...another Christmas present sorted!...actually £15 is a Christmas present and a little something for me too!

    Plus, the free lipgloss, the new Cadburys finger biscuits to try and the booklet of coupoins which includesa few free competitions.

    Don't know that I'll read the Cosmo mag though!

    Thanks OP! A real find!

    Sorry to hear this.I nearly bought the one sealed with company
    magazine but had a conversation with a friendly sales assistant
    and she mentioned complaints they had received from some customers who bought the double mags only to find that these
    don't have any of the freebies inside.She explained that the double mags didn't contain any of the freebies so when customers complained she said they should write or email the magazine directly and ask them why they didn't put the freebies in the double mags.

    My mum got it, she searched around all over, and no mags where sealed apart from the double mags she got me.

    No mag was sealed in asda when i went, and neither tesco. Why is the magazine with no plastic on to begin with?. It just shows really that people rip you off. do they get delivered in plastic, or without the plastic on them?. do the shops take the plastic off the magazines?. i saw in tesco , the company magazine in plastic, with a mascara.... but cosmo had no plastic on............ its a good question, i never buy these mags to begin with, and now it shows its a load of !!!!!!!!

  • I bought this mag as it looked the most christmasy! Usually more of an OK or love it kind of girl but was very pleased when my mag had £15 voucher! I was told they were'nt vaild with offers so bought hemp handwash and handcreme. Pleased there was no min spend.The assistant in the Glasgow store was very excited it wasnt £3. The lip gloss was a bit too bright red for me but cant win them all.

    I posted a twitter complaint about the offers and not being able to use the card. I was replied to by the Bodyshop who told me I had been misinformed so I tried again and again was told I could not use the card with any offers. Twittered again and was told to call the bodyshop (given 0800 number) who I will be calling again today. I wanted some stuff but theres no point me buying anything if I'm going to end up paying more for it then I would without the card.
