April 2015 UK Magazine Freebies ft Marie Claire, Glamour, Balance Me and Nails Inc

If you're out shopping this weekend then I have to tell you about these fantastic magazine freebies I picked up this week.

Firstly, UK Marie Claire is giving away a Nails Inc Nail Polish with the April issue which costs £3.99. It comes in a choice of 4 shades, Fiesta (red/pink) , Fashion, Fizz (pastel brown) and Festival (pastel pink with a grey undertone) and I picked up Fashion, a gorgeous pastel dove grey colour. 

In the bottle it looks like it has a purple undertone but when on it looks more blue or lavender. I even did a NOTD for you!

I love this colour and was so impressed with the formula. It went on smoothly, was fully opaque at one coat and even better, no need for a top coat as it didn't chip in 4 days.

Shall I go back for the other 3 colours?!

Next up is Glamour magazine. This month they are giving away products from Balance Me, one of my favourite brands as it is 100% natural. I actually bought 2 copies as Glamour is just £2 so I picked up the Balance Me Shine On Tinted Lip Salve in Sheer Red and Balance Me Super Moisturising Body Wash. There is also a Pure Skin Face Wash and Radiance Face Mask available. 

So what are you waiting for? Head to your newsagents ASAP! 

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?

Glamour

First off, Glamour has once again collaborated with Benefit to offer a choice of 3 freebies. Choose from BadGal Lash Mascara (4g), The Porefessional (7.5ml)and That Gal Primer (7.5ml). Personally, I adore Benefit and have already purchased the first two on the list. I’ve searched high and low for That Gal as I’m desperate to try it but it looks like these aren’t even available anywhere in the Birmingham/West Midlands area. At just £2 for the magazine with the products worth £10, £10 and £15 respectively, it’s a bargain! Look for Kylie Minogue, Fearne Cotton and Eva Longoria on the cover.

Marie Claire

Bringing you the cutest nail polishes around, pick from three Ciate colours, taupe, hot pink and pastel purple, worth £9 each. With a cover price of £3.70, it might be worth getting them all if you’re a fan.

Harpers Bazaar

Leighton Denny is a popular freebie and you can choose a full sized bottle worth £11 in pink, orange or taupe with the £4.20 magazine.

InStyle

For the £3.80 cover price, you can choose from either a Body Shop mascara (worth £10) or 2 eye definers (worth £16).

Also worth an honourable mention is the free Reiss vest with Elle magazine (£3.90) in 3 different colours and the free sunglasses in Tatler (£4.10) in a choice of 4 different colours. Perfect for your holidays! Plus, Vogue is just £2 this month! You know what they say, buy nothing until you buy Vogue.

Marie Claire, Glamour and Red April 2012 - UK - Free Neal's Yard, Percy & Reed and Origins

I can't believe how popular the Clinique freebie post was! So to keep you guys happy, I thought I'd post on three other beauty freebies available this month.

The first is with Marie Claire UK April edition (Christini Ricci on cover) where you can get a free Neal's Yard Power Berry Daily Moisture Cream for youthful skin worth £10.50 with purchase of the £3.40 magazine. I think you might even be able to get it on the travel size edition which is £3.

Next is one that I've just bought, Glamour UK April edition (Jennifer Lawrence on cover) with a free Percy & Reed hair product. The choices are: Splendidly Silky Moisturising Shampoo, Splendidly Silky Moisturising Conditioner, Totally TLC Hydrating Mask and Quite Frankly Flawless Finishing Polish. 


I bought two copies at £2 each for the shampoo and conditioner which I've just used. The lather on the shampoo wasn't great so I rinsed three times but the conditioner is quite luxurious. Once I used my Moroccan Oil and straightened my hair it was really nice and smooth and soft so definitely give it a go. 

I've also seen that you can get a free Origins serum with April's Red magazine (Claire Danes on the cover). The gift is a 15ml Origins Mega Bright Skin Tone Correcting Serum worth £23 so that sounds like a bargain to me! Cover price is £3.90 I think.


So many magazines to choose from!! Which will you be going for?
