Wanna Try The New Lancome Mascara?

Like every girl I love, love, love mascara. So when I saw that Tatler Magazine were giving away sample size's of the new Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara I immediately snapped up a copy ! 

 I don't like to spend a great deal on mascara's as generally you can only really get 3 months worth of use and I feel that you can get just as good from drugstore brands. When I see magazines giving away sample's of high end mascara's I always take the opportunity to try them to see if there really worth the hefty price tags.

Lancome Claim:

The new Hypnose Star Mascara is designed with a dual-sided wand to give you bags of volume and curl - the flat side of the wand is designed to hold more product whilst the round side allows you to get right to the roots of your lashes to give curl. It also has a'black diamond' (whatever that is ? ) effect to give your eyes a spectacular look.

The Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara retails at £21.00 and is available in most Department Stores, as well as online and in selected Boots. If you were thinking of purchasing this mascara why not get a copy of Tatler Magazine first and see if its really worth the money ?

Just wanted to give you girl's the heads up ! So let me know if you manage to get a copy of the magazine and what you thought of the mascara. Hope everyone had a lovely day. x

Freebies & Samples: Making the Most of Them

Sorry guys but this is another Magazine related post...I promise there won't be anymore for a good while. I managed to get hold of two more 'Glamour' Magazines and got hold of the 'that gal'- brightening face primer & BAD gal Lash samples (even though I've tried BAD gal...I couldn't resist the cute sized sample)! Girl's get hold of your Glamour Magazine QUICK because there are still some out there ... 

Also with 'Glamour' Magazine, this month there are samples (sachets) of Pantene Shampoo - you can never have too much shampoo...

I ended up getting three sachets of the Pantene shampoo because of my compulsive purchase of 'Glamour' Magazine(s) this month. Instead of keeping the sachets as they were I cut them up and put them in a plastic travel bottle - I find if I use the product straight out of the sachet I end up wasting half of what's there to start with AND you would be surprised as to how much you get if you give it a bit of time.
This is just an idea of how to make the most of your samples & great to have if your going away for a couple of days! x

Magazine's Anonymous ?

Ok, Ok, I hold my hands up ! I'm addicted to buying magazines ... for the freebies. I can't help it ! There are always good product giveaways - products that aren't normally in my budget or I don't think are worth the price, even if I could afford them I can't always justify the prices at full size so it's a great way of trying products you normally wouldn't have the chance to!

I always try to post about free magazine giveaways because I know most people are in the same situation as me, however my magazine binge is becoming an unhealthy habit and the worst thing is I know I won't stop... all in the name of beauty hey ?
Red Magazine 'July 2012' - £3.90 : 
Jemma Kidd Make Up School I-Glamour Volume Mascara in Black  Normally: £15.00 (Saving: £11.10)

Harper's Bazaar 'July 2012' - £4.20 :

Leighton Denny Nail Polish in Coral Reef Normally: £11.00 (Saving: £6.80)

Red Magazine and Harper's Bazaar aren't normally magazines I reach for but seeing how good the freebies were I caved in. Setting aside the endless pages of advertisements I was very impressed with the contents of both magazines, so thumbs up. 

Sorry for another 'magazine' post but I thought you guys would appreciate the head's up - you can get a really good deal! I hope you all had a nice weekend. Let me know if you managed to get your hand's on either Red Magazine or Harper's Bazaar for your freebies and as always if your spot a 'magazine freebie' let me know. x
