Elle Magazine and Benefit's Roller Lash Mascara (March 2015)

As I am sure a lot of you know Benefit is launching a new mascara. The new mascara is called Roller Lash. I have tried Benefit’s They’re Real and I really like that so when I heard that they were launching a new mascara I was very interested.  For me personally £20 for a mascara is a lot of money so I didn’t think I would be able to try the new mascara but this month’s Elle Magazine has a free sample of the new magazine. If that isn’t good enough the mascara hasn’t even launched yet so you can try it before it hits the stores. 

This mascara is designed to curl your lashes, it has been designed so that it will capture every single lash. I have only used this once so far so I can’t give a full review but I do like it. I will be doing a full review as soon as I have tested it a bit more.

Elle Magazine is in stores now and it is only £4 and very good deal in my opinion.

Have you picked up the new mascara?

Magazine Freebies: December 2014 Elle Magazine

Today I have another fantastic magazine freebie to share with you. Earlier this year Benefit released a new eyeliner as part of their They're Real range. The new eyeliner is the first of its kind, it is a push up gel eyeliner that is meant to make applying eyeliner easier. I have heard mixed reviews about this eyeliner which is why have been reluctant to spend £18.50 as that is a lot of  money to spend on an eyeliner that I may or may not like. This month Elle Magazine has a sample of the eyeliner which is the perfect way to try it out without spending too much money. 

I am yet to try this eyeliner but I am really looking forward to giving it a go and I will share my thoughts on it as soon as I have tried it out. If you have been thinking about trying out this eyeliner I recommend picking up the magazine as it is only £4 and it is a much more affordable way of trying out the eyeliner.

June Magazine Freebies 2014

This month has many great magazine freebies. In the summer months magazines always seem to have some great freebies and today I thought I would share them with you.

First up in ELLE Magazine you can get a sample of the Benefit Porefessional which is probably one of the most talked about primers in the blogging community. I have never tried this primer but I have tried Benefit's That Gal which I really like so I have high hopes for this primer. The magazine costs £4 so this a great way to try a product for much less as the full size costs £24.50. 

Next up is Instyle and they have a very exciting freebie to over. They have 3 colours from the Nails Inc Brazilian collection and I picked up 2 of them. The shades are Sugarloaf Sunset (pink), Copacabana Coral (red/coral) and Sao Paulo Streets (creamy nude). I didn't want Sao Paulo Streets as it was not a colour that appealed to me. This is a great opportunity to pick up  full size Nails Inc polishes which normally retail for £11. The magazine costs £3.90 but if you pick it up in Tesco it will only cost £2.50 which is an even better bargain. Next month has another exciting freebie it is a sample of the Ren Hot Cloth Cleanser along with a muslin cloth which comes out on the 5th June. 

In Marie Claire there is a skincare sample set from Aromatherapy Associates from their Hydrating range. The set includes the Renewing Rose Cleanser, Triple Rose Renewing Moisturiser and Rose Face Mask. I am looking forward to trying these products. The magazine also has a 20% off code all Aromatherapy Associates products from the website. Next months issue has 10 mini Ciate Caviar sets to choose from.

Magazine Freebies- March 2014

This month there are a couple of magazine freebies that I wanted to share with you.

First off is an actual first in beauty; a product launch via a magazine. Elle Magazine are offering the Percy and Reed Wonder Balm which came out on the 15th March I believe but you could get it before this date if you got the magazine. I don't believe that any other brand have done this so it is quite exciting and brands are clearly realising that magazine freebies can be a very good way of promoting themselves and their products. I've heard quite a lot about Percy and Reed but haven't actually tried anything for myself so am quite looking forward to trying this. This product claims to moisture, shine,smooth,define and soften which is quite a lot of claims and I am looking forward to giving this a try.  

I have tried a few things from Neal's Yard Remedies and my favourite product is the Bee Lovely Hand Cream  which I got in  a previous issue of Marie Claire. I am looking forward to trying out this gloss as it uses organic ingredients such as orange oil and white tea. It will be interesting to see what this is like as it claims to moisturise the lips as well.

Benefit Freebies With Elle Magazine

The January edition of Elle Magazine has some amazing freebies at the moment. This month they have some Benefit goodies. They have 3 products to choose from: 2 lipglosses in the shade Dandelion and Coralista (these shades match the blushes with the same names) the other product is the They're Real mascara which I already own and love. This is a great opportunity to try out some products before committing to a full size version.

I picked up the 2 lipglosses as I already have a mini version of They're Real and I have a ton of other mascaras to use so I thought I'd better not buy another mascara. I love the packaging of these two lipglosses I think that they are so cute.

As you can see from the above swatches they are cute colours and they will make a nice addition to my collection. Also they smell really good and because they are quite small they will be easy to slip into my handbag.

June 2013- Magazine Freebies

This month there some amazing magazine freebies that I want to share with you. As most of you will know magazines are a great way to try some great makeup and skincare brands for a much lower price. I recommend that if you plan on picking up more than one magazine that is the same so you can try all the free products (please say I'm not the only one who does that) then use self service or buy them separately as you get some strange looks and I've had people in the past asking if I meant to pick up more than one. Anyway onto the freebies. 

This month Marie Claire are giving away some Avon products. As far as I'm aware you can only get Avon products from a representative or online you can't buy them in the shop. At least you can't in the UK. So they are giving an Avon eyeliner in Black, a brow pencil in Dark Brown and a lipstick in Smitten Red. I have included swatches of the products below so you can decide which one to get or you could get all 3 like I did. I've only used the products a few times so I can't give a full review of them but I can definitely say that they are worth picking up. I especially like the eyeliner and lipstick. Also the magazine gives a free sample sachet of the Avon BB cream.

I'd also like to mention that next month they are giving away a Ciaté mini polish and Caviar kit which will include paint pot in Cookies and Cream and a Caviar polish in Shooting Stars. This comes out on June 6th. 

Instyle magazine were giving free Nails Inc polishes this month. There are 3 colours to choose from You're A Peach, Totes Pink and It's Red Babez. I decided to go for the red as Totes pink looked very similar to Elizabeth Street that came in an issue of Glamour magazine. The peach colour didn't appeal to me as I'm not a massive fan of peach colours. I haven't used this yet but I'm sure it will be good.

Next month they are giving a Neal's Yard Remedies moisturiser. I have a hand cream by the same brand which I got in Marie Claire which I really like so I can't wait to try this moisturiser. 

Probably the most exciting freebie is this mini Benefit They're Real mascara. I have been wanting to try this mascara for ages but at £19.50 a tube, it's a lot of money of money to spend on a mascara. This is a great opportunity to give this a try. I have used this and I really like it. It made my lashes look amazing, I'm even tempted to buy the full size but I'll have to use some of my other mascaras first. 

Next month Elle are giving away some fake tan in 3 different shades to choose from. I won't be picking this up however as I don't like fake tan.
