Magazine Free Gifts

I always have to be careful not to fall into the temptation of getting a magazine I don't really want to read, for a free gift I won't really use - like the pair of (not so) flattering sunglasses or the (never to be worn) jet black gel eyeliner . However, it does make sense when offers come up that end up saving you money. Last month Beauty And the Biryani  reminded me in her blog post of the fantastic Benefit offers with Glamour magazine and I got a lovely mascara , that is now my daily favourite! Thank you for that one!

Having said that I have succumbed to two this month. My monthly subscription through my Tesco vouchers to Red magazine has come to an end and I haven't yet renewed it. I went to pick up a copy and found that they had some sample sizes of Ren - hand and body cream, eye gel and day cream as their free gift . These are a perfect size for our camping trip in a few weeks time. Whilst in the mood I gathered up the latest copy of Elle , that had a medium size tube of St. Tropez gradual Tan, which I use all the time on my lily white legs, so again well worth the price of a magazine I like to read anyway.



 I am a bit of a magazine girl - it is an easy way to relax when you have kids ! My favourites are Red, Easy Living, Grazia, Elle and  Vogue. What do you like to read if you get the chance?

Low Maintenance Beauty.

False Eyelashes , Shellac Nails and St. Tropez Self Tan


Is there such a thing as low maintenance beauty? I think we'd like to believe there is, but to get a few weeks of less input you have to do a bit of work!! So - I've invested in some extra eyelashes for the first time to avoid the constant mascara dilemma on the beach and a shellac manicure. That and some St. Tropez self tan and I feel almost presentable. The close up is a little scary -  but look at the lashes! Love them. They should last two - three  weeks before they need infilling.
