Glamour with Benefit

Hello I know I should told you all about this at the beginning of the month which I do apologise for not doing. But I though I better tell you anyway before the month is out. The thing I am on about is the partnering between this months Glamour magazine and Benefit cosmetics. 

There is three different front covers this month with three different benefit cosmetics. 

The front covers are that of Eva Longoria (Above) Kylie Minogue and Fern Cotton and the three benefit cosmetics on offer are 'The POREfessional', 'That Gal' and 'BADgal Lash Mascara'.

I got 'That Gal' which is a face primer and is one of benefits to sellers. At full size this retails for £21.50 where with Glamour the sample size is only £2 a saving of £19.50, which is always good in my book.

I like trying a sample size of cosmetics that are over £10 as I believe if you don't like the product then you are wasting your money on cosmetics you will not use and sample size are brilliant to take away on holiday as they don't take up to much room in your bag. 

So have you brought Glamour and if so what Benefit cosmetic did you get?

After I wrote this my mummy came home with another Glamour magazine for me and this time came with 'BADgal Lash Mascara' thank you mummy and I will be using this want I go on holiday this summer.

See You Soon

Cosmopolitan And Clinique

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a brilliant Thursday and you have wonderful sun like it is down here in the South-east England. 

The reason for today's post is to share with you that this months Cosmopolitan magazine 'April 2012' with Holly Willoughby on the front as a wonderful freebie that you can enjoy. 

Retails for £3.50 

The freebies it comes with comes from the brand Clinique and you have a choice of four products which are High Impact Mascara RRP £15, Super balm Moisturizing Gloss £13.50, 7 Day Scrub Cream £17 and Moisture Surge £30.

Okay I know I am meant to be on a magazine buying ban over lent but I wasn't the one who brought this for me, my lovely mummy brought it for me while she was shopping yesterday as a treat I do love her for this. 

The free gift that my mummy got me was the Clinique Moisture Surge. 

This is a trail sizes and it normally retails for £30 which I do feel is quite a lot for a moisturiser but I do like the trail size so it may have to be on my wish list for birthday or Christmas. 

The moisture surge is fresh and light weight and can be used under or over make up or as a five minutes moisture mask. It comes out as a clear gel which is easy to rub in to the skin and feels your skin feeling soft and moist all day. I think I will use this as a traveling primer as it so small and lightweight to carry. 

Did you buy Cosmo and if so what product did you get?

See You Soon

Glamour And Percy & Reed London Hair

Hello everyone hope you are all having a wonderful Monday. Today I wanted to share this with you all that in this months Glamour magazine 'April 2012" comes with a freebie that you may enjoy. 

I know I am meant to be on a magazine band for lent but I didn't buy this, my lovely boyfriend brought this for me so its still okay.

You may or may not already know that this months Glamour magazine comes with one of four free Percy & Reed London Hair product. You can choose from Splendidly Silky Moisturising Shampoo or Conditioner,  Totally TLC Hydrating Mask or even a Quite Frankly Flawless Finishing Polish. 

I choose the Totally TLC Hydrating Mask out of the four, but I was thinking about buying them all and if you do want to do this it will cost you £8 for £43 worth of product as each product arrange from £10 - £12 for a 100 ml. 

I never heard of Percy & Reed London Hair before I got this magazine but that's why I like when magazines like this give you a freebie has you get to try a product from arrange of different companies. 

This Totally TLC Hydrating Mask is meant to help to restore your hair vitality and making it soft and more manageable. The smell of the product reminds me of hand cream so if you are not a fan of hand creams this may not be a product for you. 

You place the mask all over the hair working though the roots to ends till the hair is covered then you will need to wrap your hair in a towel and leave for 10 minutes then raise thoroughly. Its states on the back of the bottle that by treating the hair at a higher temperature to helps to open the cuticle allowing nutrients to penetrate the hair more deeply. 

I will keep you informed how I find this product and if it does anything to my hair. 

See You Soon

Yesterday I finally subscribed to the famous Glossy box service, this will be my first ever beauty box I would have received and I can't wait to see what I get, its like Christmas all over again which is a weird concept given the beautiful weather we are having down in the South-east of England.

Lately I had lack of funds due to one reason of another but me being me this doesn't stop me shopping. I love charity shops for many reasons such as you find pieces that may not have thought about and I can truly say this has been the case with me lately and also the things you do find and like will not cost the earth.

3) Haul  

I know you all are most likely saying at I am already doing one haul as well but I believe that the things I have found in the charity shops are worthy of there only haul.

Elle/Soap And Glory

Hello, I though I would share this with everyone who is out there, that this months Elle magazine March Issue 2012, has a wonderful free gift that you may enjoy. 

You may or may not know but this month's issue of Elle comes with a free mascara from Soap and Glory, the company that has brought you products such as Hand Food (Hand Cream), The Righteous Butter (Body Butter) and Clean On Me (Shower Gel) 

I do love Soap and Glory beauty products but I can honestly say I am a Soap and Glory Make-up virgin, so I will be popping my cherry with this month free gift. 

 This is a wonderful way of trying new products that you may or may not be interested in without spending a fortune as the magazine itself cost only £3.90 and free gift this month is worth £10. 

Don't know about you but I would be annoyed if spend £10 on a mascara and didn't really like it but spending £3.90 doesn't feel as bad. Plus you get a magazine that you can read that is always a bonus in my eyes. 

I will kept you informed of how I find this product and if it lives up to its name of 'Thick and Fast' and you never know maybe buying more Soap and Glory make up after this. 

See you soon
