I was in Tescos the other day, and was walking past the magazines aisle and noticed that some of them had some pretty cool freebies. I picked up a copy of Marie Claire and two copies of Glamour.
I don't normally buy magazines but they were giving away a full size Avon mascara worth £10 with Marie Claire for £3.70 - bargain! I've never heard of her before this, but Marion Cotillard looks very pretty!
Anyhoo, enough of my waffle - have you picked up any mags with freebies lately?
How are you finding them? ☺

There was also an article that caught my eye on how a freelance journalist was kidnapped and held hostage in Somalia for 15 months, and how she used her horrifying experience to help Somali women by setting up a foundation that offers them scholarships, medical care, therapy, and education.
To find out more and/or to make a donation to her wonderful cause, visit the Global Enrichment Foundation's website by clicking here.
With Glamour, there was a choice of four travel sized products from the brand balance Me. range - Pure Skin Face Wash (50ml), Balancing Face Moisturiser (20ml), Rose Otto Lip Salve, and Wonder Eye Cream (7ml).
As you can see, I picked the first two. ☺
I was flicking through the pages and came across these pictures, and was instantly reminded of The Lovely Bones - that movie still creeps me out and makes me cry in equal parts. I have yet to read the book though, anyone know if it's as good as/better than the movie?
I also came across this! I knew about the Coke Zero vs Diet Coke thing, but I didn't know about the wholewheat bread vs wholegrain bread part! Nice to know :D Plus the part about the peppers is pretty cool too.
Don't you just love learning new things? I know I do (^__^)
How are you finding them? ☺
havnet picked up any mags lately! trying to save money. I use to buy mags just for the freebies lol.

I love both of these magazines, but Marie Claire has so many ads at the beginning! I didn't get my hands on any of the freebies this month, but last month I got Benefit The Porefessional from Glamour. I wanted to get all three they were offering, but I can never bring myself to buy more than one copy of the same magazine! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI found you through the BBU Blog Hop, by the way :)
