Magazine Freebies - July Issue

I'm not one to buy alot of magazines, I have my favourites, Stellar and U but other than that I wouldn't be rushing out to get one. I do feel that certain magazines these days are taken up with more adverts than articles which I find pointless. Saying that I did buy a couple this month as they included some gorgeous freebies which I couldn't resist.

The four magazines I picked up are Marie Claire, Glamour, Instyle and Red. I have to admit the latter two I hardly ever read. In Red magazine, there was a choice between a Jemma Kidd mascara and eyeliner. I went for the I-Glamour Define Eyeliner. This product has gotten good reviews online so I'm looking forward to testing it out. With Instyle, there was a choice between a mascara and eyeliners also. I went for the mascara this time, I've tried The Body Shop's Big & Curvy in the past and I really liked it. I'm going to keep this for my trip to Manchester as I do have alot to use up. I picked up my second Ciate nail polish with Marie Claire. I got my first one with this magazine and I use it all the time. I went for the shade Bon Bon which is a gorgeous for everyday. These polishes have been almost impossible to get in Ireland in the past. They are available here now so I can see myself buying a few more. Last but not least is the Benefit freebie that alot of bloggers are talking about at the moment. I'm sure you've seen enough posts on this to last you a lifetime so I won't go on too much I promise. Glamour magazine was so hard to come by, I spotted it on my lunch break and I went for The Porefessional primer. I bought this when it first came out and I loved it, I just wish it wasn't so expensive. The price of the full sized product is the only problem for me. I was actually going to pick up a few more Glamour magazines to get a few more of these but when I went back to the shop they were gone. Just my luck! I'm going to keep this miniature for my travel bag as it is the perfect size.

Have you picked up any of these magazines?
