This month's new magazines have hit the stands and they're causing something of a buzz thanks to their very generous beauty freebies! I've picked up two of the most popular ones to give you an idea of what's available, plus I've included a full round-up of everything else on offer.
InStyle Magazine - (Sophie Turner cover - July 2016 edition) £2.50 Tesco exclusive
Free with this month's InStyle magazine, they are giving away a whole range of Eyeko goodies. You can choose from Eyeko's Black Magic Mascara, Brow Gel, Skinny Liquid Eyeliner, Fat Liquid Eyeliner and Skinny Brush Mascara. Both of the eyeliners are full size and the other products are all generous travel sizes.
I went for the Fat Liquid Liner as I haven't tried that one before and it looks a like a chunky marker pen which is interesting. I've reviewed several Eyeko products in the past and really rate them, especially their Black Magic liquid eyeliner which is amazing (read here), so if you've always wanted to try something, now is a great time to do so. For even better value for money, Tesco are offering the mag for just £2.50 as a Tesco exclusive. Bargain! I may have to go back for some more...
Elle magazine (Bella Hadid cover - July 2016 edition)
£4.10
Elle have got everyone talking with their magazine freebie which is a world exclusive for Benefit's brand new Goof Proof Brow Pencil which hasn't officially been launched yet. The freebie is a mini version but it gives you a good idea of the product and is obviously a perfect way to try it out before deciding whether you want to splurge on the full-size version or not.
There has been some controversy though as Elle has chosen to wrap the mag up in an orange plastic cover which means you don't know which shade of Goof Poof you're going to get but I have a little tip for you! If you press the end of the product into the corner of the plastic wrapping, you can see through to the number at the top - go for 6 if you're a dark haired brunette and 2 for the blonde/light taupe shade.
In addition to the Goof Proof Brow Pencil, you also get a card for a free brow wax at any Benefit Brow Bar at Debenhams. It doesn't make it clear on the front, but this is only available when you purchase a brow wax first and then you can book the free one afterwards. Still a good offer if you get them done anyway!
Other magazine freebies this month include:-
- Marie Claire with a choice of Elemis Hydra Boost Day Cream or Hydra Boost Night Cream (each are 15ml travel sizes).
- Red magazine has a full size Rodial Eyeliner Duo (you get one black and one brown).
- Harpers Bazaar is giving away a travel size of Balance Me Restore & Replenish Face Cream.
- Tatler have some free sunglasses with are available in three different colours.
- Glamour has four full size ModelCo makeup products - choose from mascara, lipgloss, eyeliner or lip liner - check out my review including swatches of the lip liner here.

I'm not normally a magazine buyer but after reading this, I would definitely whiz out to my local tesco to buy both 'InStyle' and 'Elle'. Thanks for telling us about this bargain:)

Enjoy! xx
DeleteI didn't realise the Benefit pencil came in shades - I thought it was just a brunette shade. Might see if I can find the number 2 now! xx
ReplyDeleteYep there are two shades available! x
