Free Murad Essential-C Cleanser

I've already posted about this months magazine freebies here, At the time I wasn't tempted enough to run out and pick any of the offers up although when I spotted this in Tesco last night I had to get my copy! The free Essential-C Cleanser from Murad is a fantastic 45ml - Which is a lot bigger than I expected from a sample size. There are also a couple of offers within the magazine such as the free luxury lavender foaming bath from L'occitane worth £8 for every reader (you just have to complete the voucher and take it to your nearest L'occitane boutique) aswell as the free Murad anti-ageing serum worth £50 (although these were only available to the first 2000 people to apply)

I look forward to trying this Cleanser, It gives off a lovely citrus smell and has quite a few orange beads floating around which seem intriguing! Did you pick up any magazine freebies this month?

This months magazine freebies.

I'll be honest in saying I wasn't overly excited by this months magazine freebies like I have been over the past few months with appearances from Balance me, REN and even Benefit. But I still thought I'd post a little round up of this months offers for those of you who may be interested in them, because I haven't seen many blog posts on them yet.

Marie Claire Magazine (£3.70)

This sample size Murad Essential-C cleanser (worth £10) offer in Marie Claire is probably the offer I'm most tempted by. It surprised me that I haven't heard that much about it, although while researching for this freebie post I came across a few posts on the money saving expert in which people had said how they had seen many issues of this  magazine without the freebie. There's also an advertised free luxury serum worth £50 up for grabs - From what I can gather you have to email someone, although there seems to be problems with that too. I think I will consider buying this one (if I manage to find one with the free cleanser) and will then update you all with my findings.

Elle Magazine (£3.90)

A few months ago I got an Jenna Kidd mascara free in a magazine and was left very impressed, So when I heard Elle were giving a way a free Jenna Kidd eyeliner (worth £14) to every reader I was again tempted yet again. There's a choice of three shades; Black, copper and blue. I don't need another eyeliner although the copper one seems to be calling my name!

Tatler magazine (£4.10)

I'll be honest and admit I'd never heard of Tatler before this month. I'm a little glad I didn't because to me £4.10 for a magazine seems crazy! I know its only 20p more expensive than Elle but the fact that It's over £4 baffles me! Tatler are offering every reader a trial size version of the new Lancome Hypnose Star mascara - although I tend to hate trail size mascara's for the small length of the brush so probably wont be picking up.

Are you guys tempted by any of these lastest freebies?

Jelly Bean

I picked this polish up in this months issue in Marie Claire because the colour stood out to me more than the others (And it was a bloody good deal). Like all Ciate polishes 'Jelly bean' comes in the classic pretty bottle with an added bow to complete the look.

I wouldn't say the polish lasted a great amount of time, I recall a couple of days wear at most which was pretty disappointed for something normally so overpriced - Although even at the price of Marie Claire I've tried better polishes for a quid. If only the bottle wasn't so pretty!

In the end I paired this polish with Fantasy fire (which by the way, I had tones of images of ready for a review on until my laptop killed them!) The prettiness is too much for my eyes;

Overall I think buying Marie Claire is a great idea if you want to buy some Ciate at a lower price - But personally I wont be back for more - even if I did love the colour!

Next month in Marie Claire

Now this is one freebie I'm not tempted by, don't get me wrong, it's clear from previous posts that I do have a love for Avon. But I really don't understand this partnership with Marie Claire. For me, Marie Claire seems on the higher end of things, having a love for £1000 coats and lipsticks more expensive than most of my wardrobe. Avon just doesn't seem to mix with that image, plus I'm pretty sure knowing Avon these mascaras are probably worth £10 but on offer somewhere for about £2.

I just hope this brings in a new load of costumes for Avon, because this is a brand I hope sticks around for even longer than it already has managed to already! You can pick this issue up on July 5th.

Free Ciaté with Marie Claire!

July's magazine freebies are pretty amazing, and this one is no exception! In this months issue of Marie Claire magazine (£3.70) readers are offered a choice of three nail colours worth £9 each! I picked up 'Jelly bean' although the other colours are just as lovely. There is also a 25% off everything at Ciate for Marie Claire readers (yay!)

Marie Claire freebie!

I tried my hardest to resist this freebie after buying way to many magazines this month - Honest! But today I finally gave in and decided I needed a treat in the form of the Body Shop's lip and cheek stain!

Sadly my local newsagents only had 'Bronze Glimmer' left, although I was really lusting after 'Rose pink'. I still picked it up though - Because it was a total bargin at £3.70!

'Bronze Glimmer' is probally the shade I've heard less about in terms of blogging (Because everyone went out and brought rose pink! Thanks guys.)

I wouldnt say this shade looks pratically bronze outside of the tube, Infact the colour reminds me of my Peach Parfait lip butter - only with about twenty times more gold glitter, Not the best look in the world..

I wouldnt dare wear this on my cheeks in fear that I'd be scubbing off glitter for the next three months, But on the right skin tone i'm sure this would look lovely. You can still pick this up in Junes Issue of Marie Claire magazine for just £3.70, I also spotted that next months freebie was worth looking out for:

Ciaté for Marie Claire.

I've always wanted to own some Ciaté paint pots- The bottles are beautiful! When I saw them free with Marie Claire magazine (£3.60) I jumped at the chance!

I chose the 'My fair lady' colour, but I will be going back for the other purpley colour! Below is an image of my painted nails:

I LOVE this nail colour! I normally struggle with lighter colours on my nails, but the application of Ciaté was great! After a couple of coats my nails looked like the above picture! The magazine also offered 25% off everything at Ciaté!

Included in the magazine was also a free Dove hair therapy tube:

I haven't had the chance to use it yet but it smells great!

Will you be buying the September issue of Marie Claire?
