Make up and beauty freebies for all readers are about the only thing that magazines still do better than blogs and this month there are quite a few fab finds on the mag racks and I'm bringing you a couple of my top picks.
Glamour continued its glorious association with Benefit which is shaping up to be an annual event and this year brought us pocket-sized BadGal Lash mascara, That Gal primer and the one we've all been waiting for - The Porefessional!
If you haven't grabbed yours yet move fast as the shelves are emptying out. I always find the mini BadGals to be a bit of a dud - while it's a full sized brush, the formulation is always pretty scarce and much drier than the full size. I personally don't find That Gal much use as I need a primer to stop rather than enhance my...er...natural glow.
The Porefessional is normally £23.50 for the full size 22ml which is for me is little eyewatering. However having tried out this mini version I'd definitely consider buying it when I run out as it really does mattify and smooth your skin, drastically reducing the appearance of gaping pores. I like it under liquid foundation but you can achieve totally passable skin with this and a swipe of something like MAC Mineralize Skin Finish Natural. If you've got an eye for a bargain, picking up 3 Glamour Mags will get you 22.5mls of the glorious substance for the handsomely cheap sum of £6. I've picked up about 7.
Marie Claire has bumped uglies with Ciate again to bring you two lovely shades, a lilac called Purple Sherbet and BonBon a taupey neutral the likes of which I cannot resist!
What beauty freebies did you nab this month?

I picked the Glmaour with the POREfessional because I already have a full sized one and love it and I have tried BadGal Lash and That Girl primer and disliked both of them.

Ah i got both of these freebees! although I got a really nice lilac shade of nail varnish instead of the brown one but I love yours and wish I'd got that too!!! The benefit 'porefessional' works really well and Ciate is such a good nail varnish brand! So pleased!

Just found your blog whilst browsing, very informative and interesting. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTo very frank with you I am not a passive reader or love to read that much but your blog just caught my eye at first glance I thought it was as same as the other blogs but after reading it completely my thought has changed, now I was thinking to become a regular reader. Thanks for changing my perception and do share more and more.
