Nowhere on the tube does it say whether it's a hand/face/body cream

Anyone know??

here you are.

MamaG · 25/02/2009 15:00

ooh i'm going to go buy marie clare now, thats a good gift

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 25/02/2009 15:02

bloody hell, that's the exact size it is - fantastic freebie - £9.50 !

If it's available in the shops I might buy more - mine is on subscription so I may only have got it because of that

what - with the mag itself!!!

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 25/02/2009 15:06

yes, just came through the door today - I've had my subscription for about 8 months so it wasn't a free gift that you get when you sign up (had that, it was 'Covet' - SJP)

I cancelled my subscription so I'll be gutted if it's not on in the shop now!

MamaG · 25/02/2009 15:13

I think it will be in the shop cornsilk. Usually the same gifts whether bought in a shop or on sub

cornsilk · 25/02/2009 15:13

I'm getting one on the school run then - yay!

MamaG · 25/02/2009 15:14

xxx posts!

kettlechip · 25/02/2009 15:21

Spooky, got mine in todays post and have just put the cream all over my hands (thought it was a hand cream) and was admiring their lovely scented softness. But £9.50 for that little tube..!

cornsilk · 25/02/2009 16:10

got mine!!

Wizzska · 25/02/2009 16:30

Got to get one. Thanks for the tip. What a great gift.

MorrisZapp · 25/02/2009 17:02

I got it too. To me, it looks and smells like ointment of some kind. Seems an odd choice for spring? Always nice to get a freebie though.

Did anybody get the Caudalie hand and body set with a magazine sub? I'm still waiting for mine to arrive and wondered what was in it.

TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 25/02/2009 17:14

Am rushing out to get Marie Claire this evening! I Love Neals Yard products

MorrisZapp - Frankincense is one of the best essential oils for skin care and I use it all year round with my clients.

cornsilk · 25/02/2009 17:22

Are you a beauty therapist?

MaryBSearchingForaJob · 25/02/2009 17:30

Agh, went to get one and they've still got last month's MC in the shop! They told me tomorrow or the day after!

TheRealMrsJohnSimm · 25/02/2009 17:51

No Cornsilk - I am an aromatherapist but I do facial treatments as part of my work.

OP - thanks for the tip on this.
I hasted to town right away and have snapped up a copy of MC. Says on my cardboard outer that it's a face cream, I should think so too, given the size.

LauriefairycakeeatsCupid · 25/02/2009 18:17

I have just been to 4 shops in my area to get more and they all said tomorrow

will be hastening to sainsbo's in the morning
