July Magazine Freebies

It's a bumper month for magazine make-up freebies! The big brands that are tempting consumers this month include Ciate, Benefit and Jemma Kidd. The July 2012 issues of Marie Claire, Glamour and Red are all on sale throughout the month of June, but don't wait around to claim your chosen gift!

Marie Claire Magazine (RRP £3.70) is offering a free Ciate Nail Polish worth £9. Choose from three new-season shades in 'Bon bon' (Nude), 'Jelly Bean' (Bright Pink) and 'Purple Sherbet' (Lilac).

These Ciate Paint Pots come in beautiful packaging with a uniquely shaped bottle and a long, easy to apply brush. I picked up the beautiful 'Bon bon' shade which is a classic opaque nude with a hint of lavender/dirty pink.

Glamour Magazine (RRP £2.00) is giving away a best-selling product from Benefit. Select one of these three luxe-minis: 'The Porefessional' which according to Glamour is worth £10, 'That Gal' worth £15 and 'Bad Gal' worth £10.

The Porefessional is a silky, lightweight balm which quickly minimises the appearance of pores & fine lines. I would highly recommend this for flawless foundation application and long-lasting results.

That Gal face primer contains light-reflecting pigments for a brighter, smoother looking complexion.

Bad Gal is a mascara for full, voluminous lashes. It's famously big brush can be a little too clumpy if not carefully applied, but this would be useful as a travel mascara.

Red Magazine (RRP £3.90) is offering a choice of two products from the Jemma Kidd make-up range worth £15 each. Pick up either the 'I-Glamour Volume Mascara' or the 'I-Glamour Define Eyeliner'.

I managed to get the I-Glamour Mascara which separates the lashes nicely whilst lengthening and adding volume. "The mega-black formula is enriched with Vitamin E and Glycerin to help condition and strengthen lashes, whilst providing the perfect texture to coat and lengthen with every application."

The I-Glamour black eyeliner offers a soft texture and a handy smudging tool on one end. "This pro eyeliner adds definition without dragging or discomfort, whilst also allowing essential play time, followed by smudge-resistant results throughout the day."

Which freebie are you hoping to get your hands on?

Update 5/6/12: I've just found out that the July issue of Harper's Bazaar, featuring Florence Welch, is giving away a Leighton Denny Nail Polish! Choose from one of three hot summer shades in Coral Reef, Plush Pink or Supermodel.
