Full size Benefit lipgloss worth £13 with a £2 mag

Felt I had to share my story with you. After reading your posts, I decided to get a couple on the way home for my wife and daughter. Aren't I nice? Anyway, went into WH Smith in Kings Cross, and a young lady and I both picked up the last two at the same time, only to find some **** had NICKED the lip gloss from both of them! Damn cheek! They're only £2 and still they nick them! The guy stocking the shelves said "Are you looking for Glamour mag? They'll be out in about 5 minutes." "My train goes in 6 minutes" I replied, so he went and got a boxful. I bought the two, then rang my other daughter from the train, and managed to get one for her from the Co-op on the way home.

I got some strange looks buying them for my GF - I said they weren't for me ... how could they be? They wouldn't match my skin tone?

It tells you which colour on the top of the Benefit box itself, white lettering on a black circle. you would think it was obvious but I spent ages trying to find out myself.

As a man with a logical mind.....:rolleyes:

.... The boxes are the colours of the gloss. You need to be able to see all three colours to tell though. The names are on a sticker on the top end of the box, and you can read them through the plastic cover of the mag. The bright pink is called "Who are you wearing"

does it come in a box so you could give it as a gift?x

As long as the recipient doesn't notice "Exclusively for Glamour" in big letters on the box, yes. :rotfl:

I thought so......................I was looking so intently at them, I think the shopkeeper thought I was going to run off with them.

Thank you!

I managed to get one last week in the colour I reeeaaally wanted. My DD rather naughtily sneaked it to school yesterday and promptly lost it out her pocket:mad: . I wasn't happy and told her off - and then felt like crap cos it was her birthday:o .
