L'Occitane Freebies with Instyle Magazine

This month's Instyle magazine offers a free 50ml St Tropez In Shower Lotion (which I'm looking forward to trying on my pasty white legs!) 

Also inside is a voucher to cut out and take in store to pick up two 15ml L'Occitane freebies!

I hadn't tried either and I'm now a convert! The Almond Velvet Balm is one of the most luxe and extra-special body products I've ever used. It is a delicately scented super rich cream which melts onto dry skin leaving it nourished and cared for. Love!

The second item is Almond Supple Skin Oil which nourishes and tightens the skin. It absorbs quickly leaving the skin feeling moisturised and comfortable.

Next time I need a body product I'm picking up the Almond Velvet Balm!

Neal's Yard Hand Cream free with Marie Claire Magazine

I am a huge fan of magazine freebies! This month's (June issue) Marie Claire has a free hand cream from Neal's Yard worth £10 (50ml).  I picked up Wild Rose scent (there is also a choice of Geranium & Orange and Garden Mint & Bergamot). The Wild Rose one is so lush I may have to try and collect a few more! (the mag costs £3.99)

It deeply nourishes the hand and nails leaving them feeling comfortable and smelling of roses - what's not to love!

Instyle mag are giving away a Clinique Smart Custom-Repair Serum 10ml - so check that out too!

Magazine Freebies! Red & InStyle

I picked up two of the magazines with freebies this month with my weekly shop today (Marie Claire has a choice of 4 hand creams - I'll pick this up too!)

With Red there is a choice of This Works body scrub or really rich firming lotion 50ml (which I chose). It smells divine - scented with fig buds and jasmine. Expect a review once I've tried it out.

InStyle are giving away a mini REN trio - Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk 10ml, Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream 10ml and Vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel 3ml.

Do you think you will pick either of these up?

In Style Magazine - October

I first mentioned here that with October's Instyle magazine you received a Clinique freebie.  I picked one up today and I chose Clinique Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturiser.  This is a 7ml pot.  Looking forward to trying it.  Have you picked up the magazine yet?

There is also a 1ml sachet of L'Oreal True Match Foundation in in Golden Beige and a carded sample of Dahlia Noir EDT by Givenchy.

Elle & Harper's Bazaar Magazine Freebies - St Tropez & NEOM

Some more great magazine freebies! My Elle magazine got a bit wet in the downpour yesterday.  With Elle there is a free St Tropez Gradual Tan - Everyday Body Moisturiser in two shades - I picked up the light/medium (75ml) and in Harper's Bazaar there is a NEOM Hand Cream in a choice of two scents - I picked Complete Blush - Moroccan Blush Rose (50ml) and it's worth £15!  If the magazine wasn't so expensive I might have bought another!  


The hand cream is gorgeous - scented with moroccan rose, lime and black pepper and is super-moisturising.  The full size of 75ml retails at £20.

Also in Elle there was a sachet of Lancome Genifique (2ml).  I love a freebie  (or two).  In Elle magazine next month there is a free Jemma Kidd eyeliner in a choice of three shades.

Just the Glamour Balance Me freebies to go.  Do you think you will pick up any of these magazines?


p.s. I almost forgot about Instyle's offers this month - out today - a free Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill sample size mascara (it's fab) and a Shiseido Cleanser! 

Palmers For Men & InStyle/Marie Claire Magazines

I was excitedly awaiting the arrival of Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula for Men!  Popped into Boots today to see if the Soap & Glory lip tint was in and came across this.

Hubby is always pinching mine so now he's  got his own for face and body.  Only negative it has a fresh smell as opposed to creamy chocolatey cocoa butter of the original.  Nice texture and melts onto the skin.  Recommended for dry areas on face and body or after shaving.  Its on offer at the moment retailing at £2.65 for 250ml.

Instyle Magazine (March) has a great booklet included "Best Beauty Buys 2012".  I want everything it contains.  There is a competition featured to win over £2,500 worth of beauty product - I want to win!  Enter here by 7 March. (also included are two 10ml sachets of Panetene Shampoo/Conditioner for Normal/Thick hair)

Leigh over on Beauty Box Swap pages posted about a great freebie with Marie Claire Magazine out 1st March - Neal's Yard Remedies Rehydrating Rose Daily Moisture worth £12.  Thanks for the head's up Leigh!
