Marie Claire Magazine Freebie (April 2015)

I do love a good magazine freebie especially when it is full-size Nails Inc polishes. As I have mentioned before Nails Inc is one of my favourite nail polish brands and I love when magazines offer them as a freebie. 

I am trying to cut back on buying nail polishes as I have so many, but I couldn’t resist such a bargain although I was pretty restrained and only got 1 shade.

There are 4 shades on offer and they are all very spring appropriate. The one I picked up is called Fiesta which is a gorgeous bright pink. The other shades are Fizz (a pale pink), Fashion (a lovely lilac) and Festival (a pale nude).

I’m hoping I’ll be able to find Fashion as that is the only other shade I am interested in as I don’t have many lilac shades in my collection. I’m not too keen on Fizz as I don’t very often wear pale pink shades. I probably won’t get Festival either as I find nude shades really hard to wear as they often don’t look right with my pale skin.

Which shades will you get?

June Magazine Freebies 2014

This month there are some amazing magazine freebies to be had. As I have said in the past magazine freebies are a great way to try new brands and products out for less. Magazines often offer brands such as Nails Inc. and Benefit so it is a great way to try things without having to spend large amounts on a full size product that you might not like. 

So I thought I'd start with a couple of freebies that I myself did not pick up but you may be interested in. Cosmopolitan and Tatler magazine have a variety of sunglasses to choose from. The only reason why I did not pick up this freebie is because I wear prescription lenses so I wouldn't be able to see out of the sunglasses if I had bought them. The only other freebie this month is in Glamour magazine and it is not one I'd recommend. It is the Eyeko Skinny Eyeliner in blue or black. I got this last year and it is one of the worst eyeliners I have ever tried so I would suggest that you give this freebie a miss. 

The first freebie I did pick up was in Red Magazine. They had a choice of 4 different nail polishes from Mavala. I haven't tried any Mavala polishes before so I was excited to pick up this freebie. They had 4 colours to choose from a red, a blue, a nude and an orange. I chose the shade Waikiki Orange (169) as I don't have many oranges in my collection. I am yet to try this polish but I am really looking forward to try it to see what the quality is like.

Red Magazine: £4

The next freeibe I got was in Marie Claire. They had Ciate Caviar Manicure sets. If you've followed my blog for awhile you may be aware that I do not like textured nails and I really don't like  Caviar beads as they are too messy so you may be wondering why I picked this up. I picked it up for the polish that comes in the set as I really like Ciate polishes and I can always give the beads away to someone else. They had 6 sets to choose from and I went for the red colour which is called the Sunset Shimmer set. It comes with a polish in the shade Play Date and the Caviar beads in the shade Cloud Nine.

Marie Claire: £3.90

Harper's Bazaar had full size Leighton Denny nail polishes this month. I really like Leighton Denny nail polishes after trying one last year which I got in a magazine. The one I tried was called I Love Juicy and it came as part of a duo with a base and top coat on one end and the colour on the other end. There is a choice of 6 shades I got the shade Lolly Pop as this was the only colour my Tesco had and also it is a pink and I love pink nail polishes.

Harper's Bazaar: £4.20

The last freebie I have to talk about is in Instyle Magazine. They have a 30ml sample of the REN Hot Cloth Cleanser which comes with a muslin cloth. I like REN skincare but I can't afford to try out there products too often as they are quite expensive. This freebie has come at a good time as I have nearly ran out of my current cleanser.

Instyle: £3.90

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.

Magazine Freebies (August 2013)

This month magazines are on fire with their freebies. There are tons to pick up and hopefully there is something for everyone.

Instyle 

They are giving away a small Rituals Volume Mascara in Perfection. I love mascaras I am somewhat of an addict as I am always buying them to try and find the best one. This one is a small 3.5ml sample which will be great for travelling.

Cosmopolitan 

They are giving away some Nip + Fab products. You have a choice from the Dry Legs Fix, Bust Fix and 365 Body Glow Fix. The dry legs fix was the only one that appealed to me and I can't wait to try it out. It smells really nice as well. 

Glamour

I love Glamour magazine they seem to team up with the best brands. This month it is Balance Me I was so excited as they had some products last year and I loved the moisturiser that I got. This time you can chose from the Super Toning Body Wash, Shine On Tinted Lip Salve, Pure Skin Face Wash and Moisture Rich Face Cream.  I picked up everything as the magazine only costs £2 so you are getting 4 products for £8 which is less than what the products are worth so it is a good deal. 

Marie Claire

I was happy to see Eyeko Liquid Eyeliner as I am on the hunt for a good one as I have the MUA one but I'm not a massive fan so I will see how this goes. If you have any recommendations let me know. 

Harper's Bazaar 

Lastly is a free sample jar of the L'Occitane En Provence Precious Cream I love this brand as I have tried a couple of their hand creams so it will be interesting to try some of their other products.

Magazine Freebies (July)

Today I thought I would share with you some of this months magazine freebies. I have said this before and I will say it again magazine freebies are a great way to try new products and get a flavour for lots of different brands that you probably wouldn't normally buy.

In Marie Claire they are giving away a mini Ciaté Caviar Manicure Set. The set comes with the polish Cookies and Cream and the caviar Shooting Stars. I can't wait to try this out I have never tried caviar nail art before so it will be interesting to see what it looks like. Also with this magazineyou get a mini sample of the Oral B toothpaste, I love getting mini toothpaste as they are great for travelling. 

In Glamour they are giving away Model Co. products. You can chose from a lip liner, eyeliner, mascara and 2 lipglosses (Strip Tease- a nude and Pink Berry- a pinky red colour). I am very excited to try out these products as I have never heard of this brand before.

Instyle have the Neal's Yard Remedies Power Berry Daily Moisture. I really like this brand as I have tried one of their hand creams and it is really moisturising. I also like this brand because they use organic ingredients and don't have any parabens.

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.

I haven't done one of these posts for awhile as there hasn't been many freebies. But this month there are plenty for you to chose from.

Glamour Magazine £2
Brand: Percy and Reed
Products: shampoo, conditioner, finishing polish and volumsing oil
What did I get: I chose to get the shampoo as none of the other products appealed to me except the shampoo and conditioner. I am yet to try the shampoo but when I do and if I like it I will pick up the conditioner as well.

Marie Claire £3.80
Brand: Neal's Yard Remedies
Products: hand cream
This hand cream smells really nice it has a really sweet smell. This an organic product so is it contains natural ingredients and it doesn't have any nasty ingredients such as parabens.

Cosmopolitan £3.60

Products: lip balm, daily moisturiser and mattifying moisturiser
What did I get: I chose the lip balm as you can never have too many lip balms. I really like this one it is really moisturising and is great on my dry lips. I think I'm going to pick up another lip balm and possibly the day moisturiser as well.
