Free Nails Inc Nail Polish and £3, £15, or £100 voucher for the Body Shop with Glamour Magazine!

This Months Glamour Magazine (December 2014) comes with a free Nails Inc Nail Polish, as well as a voucher card for The Body Shop. Every card is loaded with either £3, £15, or £100 to spend at The Body Shop in store (full priced products only). The magazine also comes with a 20% off H&M voucher on a minimum of £20 spend, and a Pantene Conditioner sample. 

I think this magazine is definitely worth picking up as it costs just £2. Two Pound! All of The Body Shop cards are worth atleast £3 so that is such a bargain in itself! 

The Nails Inc Nail Polish is worth £11 and is full size. There are four shades available. I chose the shade Marylebone Mews.

To find out how much is on your card, simply ask a sales assistant in store who will tell you how much it is worth. My voucher card was worth £3, so I picked up a shower cream which then cost me just a pound!

Maxfactor Free Gift With Purchase of £15..Worth it?

I'd seen a  few 'free gift if you spend £' deals flying around in Boots recently, including this one and another amazing one by 17. It wasn't available when I went to get it, so though I'd pick this up instead as it looked really good. I picked out two lipsticks which I'll show you in a haul soon :) (which evidentially turned out to be the exact same lipstick. Twice! What am I like!?! Just glad I like it haha) and then tootled up to the till with this bad boy.

Now, I am not usually one to make a blog post to moan about a brand in particular. Don't get me wrong, I do like the brand Max factor, I was just a little disappointed with this to be honest.  

Boots claims that this free Summer set is worth £26... no way! It wouldn't even be worth £26 if they were FULL size products, which is what it states. I'm not very impressed. 

I know this set is a free gift, and I would of spent the £15 anyway, but I just thought it was a bit ridiculous that they advertised this as worth £26. I know some people may just spent £15 to get this free gift as it looks deceiving, and as my blog is about budget beauty, I thought I would see whether it really is worth £26?

It comes with this cute tin, a little Make Up Artist Tips flyer and a £3 off Max Factor Foundation, which is quite good. 

Maxfactor Nailfinity in 549 Red Passion (36m)

I was a little dissapointed to see this product in here, as I have previously owned it  (this exact colour, infact!) about 2 years ago and really didn't like it. It is a mini, but it is probably the only half decent product size provided in this set. I will probably give this to someone, although if I remember correctly, it was a really strange texture and took ages to dry so I don't know who will want it!

Maxfactor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush in 14 Soft Pink

I'm not joking, this is TINY. They give bigger free samples out at High End counters like MAC. It actual states 'tester' at the back of the box. I am not the biggest of cream blushes anyway, so I doubt this will ever be used by me. It just looks a bit stingy really!

Maxfactor Masterpiece MaxHigh Volume & Definition Mascara in Black ((5.3ml)

This is probably the only item I was happy with and plan to repurchase at full size! I was a bit wary as I prefer bigger, fatter brushes, but with one application on the eyes, my eyelashes looked a lot longer and thicker. I really do like this, and its ideal for your clutch on a night out so thumbs up from me.

Max Factor Colour Collections in 510 English Rose (36m)

This is the smallest lipstick I have ever seen. The colour is lovely, but really, the way the lipstick is, it isn't nice to apply at all. 

I've done a little research as to how these products retail at full price if you are interested....

Max Factor Colour Collections  full size - as little as £4

Maxfactor Masterpiece MaxHigh Volume & Definition Mascara £9.99

Maxfactor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush as little as £4.93

Maxfactor Nailfinity as little as £2

The full size products you can get for £20, probably even less with a little more bargain hunting! I know I probably sound stingy as this is a 'free' gift, but I think its a bit of a swizz!

I'm sorry if this was a negative post but I like to be honest with my readers about things I've picked up! Its okay for free, but I think it is false advertisement when they claim its worth £26 when it is probably worth less than £5!

Benefit Goodies in July's Glamour

I bet you're reading this thinking ' I have read this blog post about 50 times already!' but just incase you weren't aware, in July's issue of Glamour (which is available from today) contains a mini sample of a choice of three Benefit products! Wow!

These are: That Gal Primer, Pore Fessional PRO balm, and Bad Lash Mascara. I opted for Pore Fessional as I often have awful blemishes and wanted to give it a try without breaking the bank first! 

The magazine itself is only £2, so stock up while you can!
