Free Benefit in Elle magazine!

 I've had my eye on Benefit's Dew the Hoola (£22.50/30ml)  for a while now, so when I found out there was a mini in this months issue of Elle Magazine (£4.10) I went on a mission to try and find a copy! The magazine contains a 5ml mini, which is a lovely way to give this a try without committing to the price tag. 

This is quite possibly my favourite ever magazine freebie - and there have been a fair few other the years! What's been your favourite ever freebie?

Free Eyeko with Marie Claire

I figured today I'd make this post nice and short since i'm guessing 95% of you will want to go and make the most of the sun, unless you're one of the few like me who cant stand the heat - I  blame it on being pale! This months Marie Claire magazine is offering readers a free Eyeko Skinny Mini Liquid eyeliner! In case anyone is wondering its 1.2g which according to the magazine is worth £8. The magazine itself is normally priced at £3.80,  but in selected shops it appears to be £2.50 -  this seems very random and these shops appear to range from newsagents to supermarkets. Personally I found my copy for £2.50 in Co-op, I'm really happy with this product and see myself getting a lot of use from it!

Will you be picking up this months copy of Marie Claire?

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?

REN Skincare Set with Red

REN is a name which keeps popping up on blogs lately, So I was pretty happy to pick up this freebie with Red magazine! The skin care set (apparently worth £16) contains; hand and body cream (15ml), Radiant eye gel (5ml) and day cream (15ml). Perfect for taking on your travels!

All three products contain a description and 'to use' section on the back: 

Hand and Body cream - A cream formulated with Javanese and Vetiver oil that will leave skin optimally hydrated, smoothed and conditioned. To use gently massage onto clean skin until absorbed. 

Radiant Eye Gel - To use apply a small amount to the skin around the eye, gently massage until absorbed. Reapply is necessary. Reapply as necessary.

Day cream - A moisturiser formulated to leave more sensitive skin optimally hydrated, calmed, soothed, protected and looking beautifully healthy. You use: Gently massage onto clean face and neck until absorbed.

(Hand and body cream, Radiant eye gel and Day cream)

I cant wait to try all three of these products - Maybe if it goes well I'll put in an order at renskincare.com - Its free shipping and two free samples after all! You can pick this issue of Red up for £3.90

Look Beauty Lipstick in Baby Doll

I picked up a look beauty lipstick in 'Baby Doll' in the sale this week for just £4 (Previously £7), 'Baby Doll' is probably the brightest shade I picked up, along with toffee cup and tangerine cream - Its hard to believe that just a few months ago I didn't own any lipsticks at all!

The thing I lost most about the whole look beauty range has to be the packaging - I love how its so stylish yet grown up at the same time if that makes any sense. The lipsticks come packaged in a cute little box rather than just sealed with plastic which for me is a lovely extra touch.

The lipstick itself is the prettiest I own, Admittedly my most expensive one was about £8 (I'm a high street kinda girl) But still for just £7 (or £4 on sale) The design of this is wonderful - I'm a big fan of the magnet which holds the lid on to the point of playing with it for hours because its so damn cool (Yes, I lead a sad life)

I would describe this colour as a buildable light bright pink. The formula is well pigmented and creamy which is petty much everything I look for in a lipstick. You can pick this member of the loud lips range here (Sadly they're full price again!)

Free Jemma Kidd in Red!

I was browsing today when I spotted this freebie in Red magazine. for just £3.90 you get a choice of a mascara worth £15 or an eyeliner worth £14. I picked the I-Glamour Volume mascara although I may go back for the eyeliner if I'm impressed with it.Will you be picking up a copy of Red magazine this month?

On another note, I officially finished my AS exams today - So expect loads more posts to come!
