    Where I have looked in Ipswich they haven't even got the new issue in yet!
  • Only one gift here in N Yorkshire aswell :( Got the lipgloss as my friend loves their lip stuff and so its going in her xmas stocking but this has put me off buying in the future.

    Now they are finally hitting the shelves, copies in Ipswich have 2 free gifts (stated clearly on the wrapper but not mentioned on or inside the magazine). Not very good customer relations to treat readers differently in different parts of the country! I was fortunate enough to find copies with free mascara and moisture surge.
  • Two gifts on both sizes of magazine around here in newsagents and Tesco. Moisture Surge paired with Lip Gloss or the Mascara paired with Scrub.

    Sorry to those who are missing out :(

    In London yesterday there were 2 gifts. None had mascara and lip gloss together though so I didn't get one.

    I wanted a mascara and got it but only one gift on my mag and i'm in Maidstone, Kent, little bit angry if other areas are getting two, not really fair is it, tho will take mag into Boots and get my 5 day free sample of foundation as per mag says on page 192/3

    Same here, just checked my local shop today, and all had two products attached (as above). I'm tempted to get a Face Scrub, with Mascara. I've got a few already in my stash, but its a favourite. I'm not keen on the Moisture Surge as it irritates my skin slightly.

    Its a shame that some people have missed out.
    Oh well...

    I went into two stores in West London and both the large and travel-sized mags only had one freebie in them. I went through every one on the shelf. It seems unfair that some parts of the country are getting two freebies.

    I haven't been able to check out the shops in my area yet, but unfortunately this isn't anything new from Cosmopolitan. When they did the magazine with the free Body Shop card/lip gloss/chocolate, the stores I went to had magazines with no plastic bags or free gifts at all (they checked in the back and confirmed that they came in like that).

    I found a blog where someone was talking about the Clinique free products, and the picture they posted showed the magazine in a bag with, as people have said, the text saying 'Two products inside'.

    However, I then found another picture with the same magazine bagged but with the text 'Worth over £37'. The text in the black shape to the side changes. I haven't posted the links becuase I'm not sure if we're allowed? But these differences exist.

    I call shenanigans.
