Magazine Freebies

[ElizaDoMore]

It's that time again. What are we looking out for this month?

Glamour is doing Benefit again (out tomorrow)

Bad Gal mascara, some sort of primer and another thing which I forget, small sizes.

Easy living had a moisturiser or an exfoliating scrub by Rituals.

Oh and Instyle had Nails inc. varnish in a pale pink.

Why do they all give freebies at the same time?

I got the InStyle nails inc in the lilac - very nice colour, I highly recommend!

I just picked up In Style and it had a choice of body shop big and curvy mascara, worth £10 or a set of 2 eye liners in black and navy worth £16. Marie Claire had a choice of 3 ciele nail polishes, I think they were pink, purple and possibly nude.

I got the purple sherbet Ciate nail polish with Marie Claire.

I saw Elle today it had a Reiss vest top, looked to be coral, aqua or another colour.

I am going to pounce on the Benefit.

Red has a Jemma Kidd black mascara worth £15 or black eyeliner worth £14.

I am sick to death of freebie mascaras! Why not perfume minis/samples etc.

Looks like I am going to be buying ALOT of magazines this month

Free sunglasses, possibly with Tatler, with a white framed option exclusive to W H Smith

The Reiss vest looked v. Thin and see through in the packet. Colours are nice though and I was tempted, but looks like it would shrink like crazy once washed?

Got the Instyle mag with Bodyshop mascara instead.

Which is better to get - Red with free Jemma Kidd mascara or In Style with free Body Shop mascara? Which is the better mascara?

anniewoo, there's an Avon mascara with next month's Marie Claire too.

Don't know about the other one, but I'm not impressed with the body shop mascara. The brush is very thin and it doesn't really do much in terms of curling or lengthening.

Thank you

The sample with glamour ( benefit porefessional) is tiny! Last time they were much better. Subscribers didn't get the last easy living freebie which really annoyed me- tempted to cancel as am not sure about their revamp either.

I got the That Girl sample and it's tiny. It is meant to be woth a bit too!

I bought Glamour and chose the Benefit Bad Gal mascara.

Why do they all come together?

The vests are like The Emperor's New Clothes vests, they don't exist, or rather they do but in the most diaphonous form.

They probably all come together to compete for our dosh.

How small are the benefit freebies, 15 ml? If so then not bad IMO as it is half sized. I will try and get the porefessional tomorrow and maybe give the other primer a try too. Not bothered about the mascara.
