    Went to co-op today and they had the mag, but only 1 clinique product in each mag. Wonder if it depends where you buy it.
    went to boots, tesco and m&s today. all of them only had one product and all were either lipglosses or mascara. I looked through about 100 mags. really wanted to the moisture surge

    It should def be 2 products, sounds like a massive error in your area - could you contact them to complain? A few near me only had product but often they get nicked out of mags anyway.

    They def issue loads more of the face scrub I've noticed - I guess it's the cheaper product. I only remember the last Clinique being Glamour around this time last year - have they done another one somewhere in between?

    I've been in 5 or 6 different shops and they've all only got one item in each :(
    I think you were very lucky to get two.
    Errrr...come back later ;)

    Had a look around Middlesbrough today and most of the stores had only lip gloss, some of them had lip gloss or mascara. Could not find either the scrub or the moisture surge. None had two products.

    I was up bright and early this morning to stock up on the moisture surge and i went to 2 large supermarkets, a small market and a petrol station shop and all of them only had lip gloss and mascara.
    In asda the kind lady opened all 5 boxes that they had delivered this morning and they all had either lip gloss or mascara.
    I wont give up just yet
    On ebay people are selling the sample moisture surge (same as freebie) for about £7, so i will keep looking and hopefully get 2 ( with mag) for the price of 1 (ebay).
    good searching everyone

    All the ones local to me (up North) were just one product - lipgloss.
    Not so much bothered that they only contain one product, more miffed because nowhere seems to have moisture surge!

    Hmm, this sounds all like a bit of a con - new mags from the boxes with only 1 out of 2 products - it clearly says on the front of the mag (or the binding - haven't got it here) that it should be 2 products. I am really annoyed too that they send out boxes of just the same product and not even any moisture surge in there. There are TONS near where I work in the smaller newsagents at canary wharf. I would love to collect them all up and post them to you but I'm sure that would get very complicated and probably breach all sorts of privacy regulations so I am sending you all hugs instead and if anyone can get there, good luck to you.:(

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Don't do what I did and pick up the handbag sized issue because there's only one free sample in there oops! :( I may have to go and get another (full sized) mag for two more samples!
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

    Well I checked in Martin's email link and that only seems to refer to ONE product but on the front plastic cover of my mag it definitely says '2 products inside' - this is not on the actual mag just the cellophane (?) wrapping. I tried to post a pic and failed!!

    On my wrapper it says "collect all four" but it doesnt say how many products you get with the mag. I think I need to get my MP involved with this ... he is always ranting on about how the North is treated differently from the South, didnt think it would ever apply to magazine freebies ... shocking thing to do to us already deprived Northerners!!!
