May 2013 Magazine Freebies

It’s another bumper month for magazine freebies guys! I love trying out new products and brands this way and I’ll happily rush to the shops to get hold of my favourite products before they all sell out.

This month Red magazine have teamed up with Aromatherapy Associates, a brand I’ve never used before, to offer 3 great products from their Rose range. I picked up the Hydrating Rose Face Mask and there was also a cleanser and moisturiser on offer for just £4 each when they’re worth over £50 altogether!

Next up Grazia has a voucher for a free Kiehls product inside the Cara Delevinge issue to redeem at your nearest Kiehls. The products on offer are Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Masque, Creme de Corps Body Moisturiser and Actively Correcting and Beautifing BB Cream SPF50.

Cosmopolitan is offering a free Phil Smith Be Gorgeous Total Treat Argan Oil Hair Transforming Cream with this month's issue worth £5.50.

Marie Claire is also offering a free Ciate nail polish in either metallic gold or a nude colour as well as a bonus tube of Jergens. 

I’m pretty sure there’s some more out there at the moment, I think I saw that InStyle had a Cowshed product too. 

Have you guys spotted any other great freebies this month?

Glamour Magazine and Nails Inc Freebies December 2012

Oh hello fabulous freebie! Glamour has teamed up with Nails Inc once again and brought us four full sized bottles of Nails Inc polish for just £2 a bottle. With an RRP of £11, I bought all four bottles, it would be rude not to.

The colours are Motcomb Street, Elizabeth Street, St James and Glamour Glitter.

Motcomb Street looks black in the bottle, but it actually comes out a dark green colour, very similar in fact to the Barry M Gelly Nail Effects polish in Watermelon. Elizabeth Street is a translucent ballet - pink colour which can be layered for an opaque finish. St James is a stunning true pillarbox red colour that may well become my go to red, whilst the Glamour Glitter is a special edition clear micro glitter topcoat in gold.

Inside the magazine there are so may freebies too! There’s a one use sample of Thierry Mugler Angel Eau De Parfum and Elie Saab Le Parfum, Rimmel BB Cream Sample, Nivea Express Hydration Primer and Max Factor Face Finity All Day Flawless 3 in 1 foundation.

And all for £2!!!

Thank you Glamour!

November 2012 Magazine Freebies - Marie Claire In Style Benefit and L'Occitane

Do you ever feel like it's feast or famine when it comes to magazine freebies?

Some months there's nothing, and other months I end up blowing loads on multiple copies of the same magazine just so I can get the gorgeous products they come with.

This month was a definite feast! I purchased In Style and Marie Claire (three times, I'll explain later!).

First up is In Style with Naomie Harris on the cover.

I bought this for the Benefit products it came with as I wanted to try out Sun Beam. For the £3.80 cover price there is a choice of Benefit Sun Beam, Cha Cha Tint or Benetint. These are all 4ml in size.

Inside, there's also a voucher for a free sample of Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara which I've pictured with the magazine.

Next up is Marie Claire with Taylor Swift on the cover. I knowingly purchased this twice. The first copy I got is the full sized edition which came with the L'Occitane 30ml Mango Flower Hand Cream. In some places it seems you also get a free 50ml sample of a Dove product which doesn't seem to be advertised in the magazine. I got Dove hair Therapy Conditioner Colour Radiance.

I then bought the travel sized edition to get the Rose Petals Hand Cream.

When I actually started reading Marie Claire I realised it was looking really familiar. Which is when I realised I'd started a subscription for Marie Claire (it was a special offer of 3 issues for £1) but had received the magazine ages ago and forgotten all about it. Needless to say, the subscription version doesn't come with a freebie which is one reason why people are often put off subscribing.

Marie Claire is also meant to come with a three sample packet of Tresemme Split Remedy Shampoo, Conditioner and Leave In Treatment, but I only received this once with my travel sized edition from in store. But I'm glad I;ve got one sample at least and I'll definitely be trying it out.

Which magazines did you get this month?
