It's that time of year again ... Benefit Freebies!

Thankfully these three were much easier to track down than last years freebies seen here

This years magazine came with large sample sizes of the cult cheek products:

• High Beam
• Posie tint
• Bene tint

And with Glamour magazine only costing £2 per issue, you can't really say no :P

Have you managed to grab all three yet?

Benefit Freebies ... A Saving of £39!

Tired of these Benefit posts yet?

Pretty annoying how i could only find the Lily Allen cover :(

Benefit Bad Gal Eye Liner - RRP £14

Benefit it Stick concealer - RRP £17

Benefit eye Bright stick - RRP £14

And a few sucky swatches ...

Did you manage to pick up all three?? It took me a trip to 4 different shops to be able to get all of these!

Benefit Freebies :)

So i was reading through Glamour ... which is only £1 this month so go and pick up a copy :) ... when i came across a very interesting page

If you regularly read Glamour you will know that every year they give a free benefit product with the magazine. Two years ago it was the "Her Glossiness" lip glosses and last year it was a travel size tube of Bad Gal Lash Mascara :)

This year it is however the choice of:

The Eye Bright Pencil which is a pink toned eye brightener that retails for £14

The Bad Gal Pencil which is a thick black eye liner that retails for £14

The it Stick, which i cannot find on the website so I'm not too sure what it is, but it says it retails for £17

The issue is out on June 10th. I think i am going to get the Bad Gal liner, and maybe the Eye Brights. I'll looking into the it stick and decided on that when the magazine comes out :)

UPDATE: tor has informed me that the it stick is a concealer, and i love concealer, so i might just end up getting all three :)

Spain Haul

If you follow me on twitter you may know that my mum has just spent the last week in Spain with my grandparents and my aunty. I wasn't expecting any presents, so i was VERY pleasantly surprised to receive all of this:

First was two issues of Nylon, because she went on holiday with my aunty who's husband gets Nylon for me because he works at a newsagents :)

Whenever i go to a foreign country i always try to pick up some fashion magazines while i'm there. o when my mum was in Spain she get me Spanish Glamour, Elle & Vogue :) These will all be included in my next "The Month In Covers" post!

You may not know this, but Zara is a Spanish brand, so obviously the selection of clothes is so much bigger in Spain and the prices are considerably cheaper :) Firstly my mum got me this really cute loose t-shirt with a little zip pocket:)

I then got a little kind of dusty pink vest

and a little grey cropped vest
which she bought because they were worn together on a model instore and she thought it looked really nice


and then a new bag which i am currently using for school which i love :)

And then these were actually the only things i had asked for. They are my favourite lip balms and the only place i know where to get them is in the spanish airport she flew back from :) I wasn't expecting to get four so this was a very nice surprise! From left to right we have orange, peach, strawberry and vanilla. I think the orange one is my favourite :)

January 2010 magazines .... it's just weird!

It is so strange to see the words "January 2010" on the spines of these magazines!

like ... its really is 2010 soon. :S

buy yeah. Helena Christensen is wearing Burberry :) Christopher Bailey is easily my favourite designers so well done Elle :)

And there is this really cool thing in Glamour about businesses that are doing well in the recession (like hair dye companies) and the ones that aren't (like greetings cards companies) It said that Clintons have racked up £72million in debt since 2008 (i think) :O

And also Glamour is only £1 this month so go and get it :)

I've notices Harpers, Vogue and Marie Claire are on sale atm so i need to get them soon :)

I LOVE MAGAZINES!

Magazine Haul - With a free Nail Polish!

To feed my crazy magazine addiction i picked up the latest issue of Glamour today. It has an amazing interview inside with the people that play Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett and the pictures are really coool :)

But the main reason i got it was for the fre nail polish which i have done a post about here on my nail polish blog

I've noticed that for the past two years now Glamour have given away something from benefit and a nail polish from nails inc. every year :) I hope they keep that up!
