Best magazine beauty freebie you have had?

[Allthingsprettyreturns]

I am using a Rituals shower cream scrub that was a magazine freebie which I am liking so far. I a
So loved the Clinique freebies that were around a while ago.

I only buy glossies when there is a decent freebie, especially like the l'occitaine hand cream on Marie Claire, the ren triple pack and various benefit minis.

I have a dark red Ciate nail varnish which came with a Glamour ages ago, and I usually get at least one of the nails Inc ones when they have them.

The Benefit benetints that were free with Glamour a couple of years ago. I bought about three but judging by the number of magazines wihout them, people were just helping themselves!

I only buy glossies with free gifts too. Had quite a few that I have been really chuffed with and the little trial sizes have lasted longer than you think. I have loved Benefit cha cha tint, Elemis beauty flash balm, Clinique mascara and would be happy to buy full sizes when I run out.

I like the L'Occitane Shea butter hand creams. I got one a while ago, 30ml, very decent handbag size. And yes, those Clinique ones from a while back were great - perfect travel sizes. There's something about a travel size from a 'good' brand that is disproportionately appealing i think

The Ren one was fab. I don't use cleanser or eye gel but the moisturiser was great in my gym bag for ages.

I'd buy the full size, it's that nice.

Neal's Yard moisturisers - I really hope they come around again soon.

Glamour magazine did some Kate spade nail varnishes. Plus, inside the magazine was a body shop gift card, worth £3-£100. I only got the £3 one, but still a bargain.

Benefit porefessional. Brilliant.

An Astor lipstick in an absolutely gorgeous shade. Years ago now but I remember going back and buying several magazines!

Another L'Occitane Shea butter hand cream. Love it. I bought 4 magazines!

yy to the benefits bentint-I did buy the full size

also the elemis beauty flash balm ..i bought 4 magazines and am still using it!

Like chocolateteabag, the same dark red Ciate and Nails Inc from Glamour. £2 for a full-sized bottle and a magazine is so good. They seem to do these two ranges as a freebie very frequently.

Actually it was decades ago. Cannot remember the mag name it may have been Looks (not the one around now). There was a free strawberry scentd cheek and lip cream. Gorgeous! Unfortunately it was not a named make so could not re-buy.

Also got some Ren skincare. Glad I could trial it as no impressed although it has been hyped to the skies.

M using the elemis flas balm, it's dead nice.
