There are some good magazine freebies around this month! I picked up two copies of Easy Living and got two Rituals products to try out; 70ml Mei Dao Organic White Lotus & Yi Yi Ren Rich Nourishing Body Cream and 70ml Wai Lang Organic White Lotus & Yi Yi Ren Exfoliating Body Scrub. Both of these smell fresh and clean and I thought the sizes were great for popping in the old travel bag. I also bought In Style, which has a full size Nails Inc nail polish with it. There are three different spring pastel shades to choose from and I ended up getting two: Powder Pink and Bluebell. The other shade was a pale peach colour.
Whilst in town, I spotted one of those 'bargain buys' shops selling off a bizarre assortment of stuff for 50p. Having a rummage through, I found these Betty Crocker candles and bought Coconut Cream Pie and Apple Pie. Both smell really good and they seem quite similar to Yankee candles quality wise. Not bad for a quid!
Have you picked up any of the magazine freebies or come across any bargains today?
Oooh I might have to get In Style. Also, if you go to WH Smiths in Glamour there are face products from L'Oca.... I can't spell it but I hope you get the idea :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up! Will have to pop in and have a look at those tomorrow :)
DeleteOoooh I want Instyle now for those polishes. Sadly, even though I can get the magazine here in Korea they don't come with the freebies :( Total con! Those shades of polish are so nice though!

Come say hey at Ducklingtoswan.com! :)
Awww no, that's a shame they don't do the freebies over there :( x
Deleteyey I got the Nails Inc and literally threw the magazine away =S
ReplyDeleteThere is a magazine giving away a bodyshop lip and cheek tint. Not sure if it is worth getting =/
Also so sad I missed out on the Liz Earle one. I read your post, ran out and could not find it!
Love these posts. Keep them coming forever!
Yeah The Body Shop one is with Marie Claire, I already have the red lip & cheek tint which is pretty good :)
DeleteThe one with Liz Earle last month seemed to sell out super fast didn't it?! x
I need to pick up InStyle, Bluebell looks gorgeous!!

Sounds like a bargain! I wasn't sure what to expect from them either but definitely pleased!
