    Edit: Ohh, wait, I just noticed one of your products was a shampoo after all, so we still don't know if this works when a long hair shamp or cond is NOT involved. If anyone finds out, please share!

    If anyone else tries this in various combos that don't include a shampoo or conditioner, please report back! :)
    I think my first shop shows that you don't have to get shampoo to get TS long hair product the 2items I bought were not from the TS long hair range. Vouchers did beep though but SA ( manager:eek: ) overrode the till on both occassions as she said I had met criteria

    I looked at urban retreat - they have stuff at 6.95 so 3 of them and you get 1000 points but no free gift. Estee Lauder have a gwp with fragrance and it counts as one of the premium beauty. I noticed in store the 3 have to be from the same brand but on line can be from 3 different ones.

    just put beautiful perfume and 2 clinique pore thingys got 2 gwp and 1000 points.Added 2 ruby and millie eye compacts at £5 each- 500 points.Then 500 points for over £50.total 54.50 and 2218 points.Think could add something small to go over 55 to get 500 more!Edit no that does not work !
    This is the Saturday night challenge --how many gwp and points can we get on .com , spending less than £60!!!!

    it's exacly the same thing as the 9.99 kit. You just need to use a moisturizer with sunprotection the next day.

    I went back for one today and used 200points mag voucher, so effectively free:D

    Nah, the booklets with the model.me and other coupons are basically bound in like regular pages of the magazine, and leave a big gap if you rip the booklet out (very noticeable) -- and the pages of the booklet come apart if you do that, too, as they shared a binding with the rest of the mag.

    So does it look like there has been a problem with the production?

    None in my mag.
