July/August UK Magazine Freebies: NEOM, balanceMe, St Tropez, REN, Avon

Saturday, 7 July 2012


It's another fantastic month for magazine freebies!  I was especially excited to see three of my favourite brands (NEOM, balanceMe and REN) giving away some fab deluxe samples of products I haven't tried yet.  Here's what I picked up in the newsagents:-  


Elle has a 75ml St Tropez Gradual Tan Everyday Body Moisturiser in a choice of two shades; Light/Medium and Medium/Dark.  I picked up the latter one and I'm going to give this a go on my legs to see what it's like.

Harper's Bazaar comes with a 50ml NEOM Organic Hand Cream in a choice of two scents.  I went for the Complete Bliss Moroccan Blush Rose one to see how it compares with the Jurlique Rose Hand Cream I've been loving lately.

Red has a three piece REN Clean Skincare Travel Set which comprises of a 15ml Vetiver V7 Hand and Body Cream, a 5ml Active Radiant Eye Gel and a 15ml Hydra-Calm Global Protection Day Cream.  Excited to give these a go!

Marie Claire comes with a full size Avon mascara, of which there are three different ones to choose from.  I chose the SuperShock Max one to try out.

Glamour are giving away four different trial size samples of balanceMe skincare products.  As the magazine is only £2, I decided to pick up three so I got a 50ml Pure Skin Wash, a 7ml Wonder Eye Cream and a 20ml Balancing Face Moisturiser.

Have you picked up any magazine freebies this month?

    oh my god, i keep seeing all of these freebies posts and i get crazy jealous -- i don't think we have anything like this in the U.S. of A., which is totally weird because americans fall over for anything that's free.
    and those freebies are HUGE!

      The UK does seem to get the best magazine freebies from what I've seen on blogs, bit strange really! x

    The Hydra-Calm Global Protection Day Cream is brilliant. I've been eeking out a tiny 5ml sample for ages. It works so well under makeup so I've been keeping it in my makeup bag.

    I got the REN set and Balance Me eye cream and face wash.

    I need to get my hands on Glamour...I was looking forward to getting the Pure skin face wash, see if it does anything for me....I also was excited about Elle, until I saw the freebie...I don't quite think I'll put that fake tan to good use to be honest.

      I don't usually go for anything fake tan based but the St Tropez with Elle is more like a light body moisturiser that tans very gradually, so it's very subtle :) x

    You Brits get all the good mag freebies :p I'd be interested to try the Avon mascara, St Tropez tanning lotion and the Neom hand cream. Do tell us how it compares to the Jurlique! :)
