Recent freebies!

At the minute there are quite a few good offers running with certain products where you get things for free.

First up is, ok so this one is quite old, the chance to win a Benefit lipstick or lipgloss when you buy promotional Cadbury Flakes. I won one a while ago (I did post on my blog) and chose the 'Lala land' shade (photo below). On the colour swatch on the website it looked like a pink shade but it's actually more of a brown, still nice though but I find that I have to apply it and then blot my lips to get a more natural subtler shade. I think this promotion is running until the end of October.

Second up is when you buy More magazine you get a free Barry M dazzle dust from Superdrug worth £4.50. This is before the 15th June so be quick! Considering the magazine is £1.50, or if bought from WHSmith 80p (mega bargain!) it's well worth it which is why I bought four!

The photo isn't the best but they were too sparkly with the flash on and you couldn't really see them. They are in order: shade 23 (a royal blue), shade 44 (bronze), shade 9 (silver) and shade 82 (a mint green).

Finally is the very popular and very blogged about free Benefit products with Glamour magazine. The magazine is £2 and you get the choice of three products: it stick concealer (worth £17), Bag gal eyeliner (worth £14) or the eye bright stick (worth £14) or like me and many others you can't make the choice and get all three!
I hadn't used any of these products before so this was a great chance to try them and if I didn't like them it wouldn't be a great loss as they were only £2. So far I've only used the Eyebright which I'm impressed with but tomorrow I'm going to experiment with the other two. Who knows I might end up trawling the newsagents for some more!

Have you found any of these or any different freebies?

NOTD - Maxfactor

Maxfactor Max Effect mini nail polish in shade 1 (Ivory).

This is the fist Maxfactor nail polish I've ever used and I really like it. I used 2 coats to get a more intense gold colour (even though it's called ivory) but it's lasted all day at work and hasn't chipped which is great!

It's a really cute size so I feel don't feel quite as guilty if I only use it a few times and then never use it again, it seems less of a waste!

There are some really nice colours in the range and they're £3.49 and they're on 3 for 2 in Boots until tuesday.

My first Clinique purchase!

I saw this palette in a sunday newspaper magazine ages ago and loved the colours. They are lovely shimmery shades which are great for summer (and they aren't an eyecream, which I hate and soooo many summer eyeshadows seem to be).

It was £22.50 but I got it off my Boots points because as I hadn't tried Clinique before I didn't want to waste my money if I didn't like it and I'm kind of glad I did.

I've only used it a couple of times and I'm undecided. I don't have time to re-apply or touch up my make-up in the day whilst I'm at work so I need something that lasts all day. Fair enough they stayed on all day but I found that the colours creased and the gold undertone came through quite strong.

I was in two minds about whether to sell it or not but I'm going to persevere with it.
