    The June issue of Marie Claire comes with a free 50ml pot of Coconut Body Butter from The Body Shop (which normally costs £5). I just got my issue in the mail, and it will hit stands on May 1. MC has being doing coupons that let you get the mag for £1 for several months, so I'm keeping an eye out for a new one. However, the coupon for the April issue doesn't expire until May 1, so maybe it will still be good for the new issue? FYI, I have used these vouchers to buy the mag in Boots.

    Thanks blue-eyes1955 for the voucher it arrived this morning I have pm'd you

    Clearance section has been removed from CO now so not very impressed, however did manage to get
    pantene 750ml shampoo and conditioner
    at £1.25 each (thnks pollsdolls!!) on normal shelf,

    got my bourjois eyeliner with till spit £2.25,
    no tweezers or sharpeners

    Hydro shave gel reduced to 70p (normal shelf)
    and used 100pts ACM voucher (thanks DH)

    Plus got my first till spit ( well this one anyway!).

    Trying to keep my purchases to a minimum in hope of triple points weekend next weekend ( I hope)

    Couln't resist the pantene ( your fault in making me look pollsdolls:p ) then thought it would be silly not to make purchase up to at least £5 ;)

    :A

    Just back from hanley-teeny tiny clearance near the deodrants with nothing worth buying.Grabbed the only ruby wax shooz bag left on shelf which I have been after for ages-Wanted to use it as a makeup case until I can justify buying a st tropez case but looking at my sparkly sandals my plan has now changed!Anyway actually needed a few essentials and found reduced 342 digital camera batteries for £1 today so spent £8.75 (inc shooz bag) and got the till spit for £5 off skincare.Acm gave me 300 points on the no7 mascara, get mediterranean olive and begamot bathcream for £1 and free soap from med range,save £1 on 17 mascara and 100points on timedelay skincare so will have fun with those.
    Urbun decay has offer of save £5 when you buy 2 items which is great if you fancy buying a pallete with something else.
    P.s the pixifoto lady is instore.
