Glamour n Benefit freebies

I so love a freebie in a magazine that is useful to me. If I was going on holiday the free flip flops and beach bags would have been great. Anyway the latest edition of Glamour Magazine is all about their Woman of the Year. I never really pay attention to this as the majority of the ladies featured I never know who they are or what they do. For a breakdown of winners that is very honest please check out Mad News Blog.

Benefit Bad Gal eyeliner cost about £14 and so does many of their other pencils. As the magazine only cost £2 I thought it would only make sense for me to buy couple more of this mag to make a saving. I subscribe to glamour as I make a huge saving. So I just had to buy two more magazines which I gave away to work colleagues sans makeup. I did not opt for the concealer stick as I would have had to use it on my foot bottom and what use would that be.

I like the eyeliners though I could do with some tips on the Eye Bright. Should I just use it in my waterline or just below in the bottom lash line? If I do not get an answer on here  I will have to tweet to find an answer.

Glamour magazine and Bad Gal lashes

Not sure if mentioned before but I am a regular subscriber to Glamour Magazine. I used to buy the magazine as it was small and I generally liked it. i must admit I only began subscribing because of the freebies. One of the items I got at the time was a plumping lip gloss which I hated. It made my lips feel odd and then I realised that myself and the majority of black women do not need plumper's and fillers for their pout.

Anyway as a subscriber you do not always get the freebie on offer each month. Though thankfully they have been giving out the monthly gift item to subscribers. This months magazine which I believe is the July issue comes with a full size Bad Gal Lashes mascara by Benefit.

I love the brush as the thinner spiky brushes do not look convincing enough to me. Though I will still try them out. Bad Gal feels light and not clumpy. I will be wearing this mascara all of next week to get a feel for it. Plus I think it would be perfect for my holiday. Plus its free!

I so would love to subscribe to other magazines but there must be a saving. Americans get a better deal when it comes to subscribing to magazines. Also the cost of international subscriptions to American magazines is just not worth it.
