    Yes, any brand :)

  • I'm intrigued about the foundation..... what do you mean about a £10 off offer at EA counters??

    Agreed. I'm sure Clinique anticipate the demand.

    It's been a long time since I thrown an old bottle of foundation out when it comes to an end - simply because of the £10 off offer at the Elizabeth Arden counters (also on atm).

    Even an old clinique one?

    There is another thread about this. If you bring an empty foundation to Elizabeth Arden counters you get £10 off a new EA liquid foundation or £5 of a compact.

    Anyone done this without an appointment yet?
  • yes, I've just collected mine and no appt needed. Had to wait in a small queue at clinique counter and was asked to fill out a form with name,add, and phone number, gave in my old mascara(has to be a large one) and then was asked which mascara I wanted and then was asked if I'd like to book an appt for a free complimentary facial.

    Still had some left at the big Boots in Chester first thing this morning, didnt make an app but I did give my details and i also had my eye make up done free :T

    (A less good result with the foundation in Debenhams. I thought that you would be given a £10 voucher which you could bring back on another day but instead they want you to buy the foundation there and then - reduced to £19 but even so if I am buying a new product and a pricey one as well I would always sample it first, leave it on for a day or if I get a sample sized I would road test it over several days.

    Still I got my foundation done in Debenhams :D

    So I got 2 free make up lessons and some useful info about products and applications etc

    Just been in and got the lengthening mascara in exchange for a full size one. It was very easy. Filled out a quick form then she asked if I wanted to book an appointment (something to do with makeup) I said no thanks and that was that!

    Was going to go in first thing this morn but didn't want to look that eager so went at lunchtime instead. They had a big box full of old mascaras on the counter- I didn't think they'd have got that many in within a few hours!
