ELLE December Issue Benefit Freebie

ELLE December Issue Benefit Freebie 

Recently there have been so many amazing freebies in some of my favourite magazines so I thought I would share another one with you. 

I'm not really a fan of those celebrity gossip magazines, most of the time I have no idea who the "celebrity" is. But I do love curling up on the sofa with a cup of tea and reading a fashion magazine. I love finding out about all the knew upcoming trends, what's on the catwalk, inspiration of outfits I can put together and making a wishlist of trends and products I might want to buy into. 

ELLE Magazine has been one of my favourites for years, I'm actually a subscriber. And I get so excited whenever it comes in the post. But when they have samples of new products from brands like Benefit my excitement is just at a whole new level! Fashion and beauty - my two favourite things!

In this months ELLE, the December Issue you can find the new Benefit They're Real Mascara Primer. The idea of a mascara Primer is a whole new concept to me. But we prime out skin before makeup, and our eyelids before applying eyeshadow so I guess it does make sense if you want your mascara to work that bit harder. 

What I really lie about this product is that you can also wear it on it's own just as a really natural mascara. Recently I have been loving the "no makeup, makeup" look, mostly cus I have been a bit ill and feeling a little lazy when it comes to makeup. But this mascara looks so pretty and natural and I am actually quite a fan or brown mascaras.  

The brush of this product is really nice and able to coat all the lashes with the primer, even those little bottom lashes. The idea behind this is to wear it under a mascara for even more dramatic lashes. And for a night out it does work. it even claims you can apply your mascara on up to 6 hours after applying the primer. Although I really hate the idea of putting mascara on top of dry mascara, of makeup on top of old makeup. 

So while I'm probably not going to be using this for it's actual use as a mascara primer quite so much (apart from maybe nights out) I will be using ti as a more natural mascara for everyday. A very natural brown mascara was definitely something that was missing from my collection. 

So if you haven't already I really recommend treating yourself to the December ELLE. Not only will your be able to try the Benefit Mascara Primer before it is released but the magazine is great for a chill out evening by the fire. And it features Alexa Chung who is one of my all time favourite style icons! xx

ORLY Rose Gold Nail Polish

ORLY Rose Gold Nail Polish 

Rose gold is one of my favourite colour still, not only for jewellery but also for beauty. I love wearing rose gold eye shadow. In fact I did a rose gold eyeshadow look blog post that you can go and check out here. 

Anyway, you can imagine how happy I was when I received this nail polish in last months ELLE magazine. This is such a gorgeous unique shade that looks so beautiful on the nails. 

ORLY is a brand that I have heard of before but never got around to trying. I was really impressed by the consistency of the polish and how well it applied. The brush was really lovely too although not quite as good as Essie. But what really impressed me was this shade. I honestly can't get over how beautiful this colour is. It is quite natural and not overly bold but still looks a little bit special and different. 

Did you get to try last months nail polish in ELLE? I am really impressed with the freebies in ELLE recently. I got this months through the post today and they have a lovely Benefit gift that I can't wait to try. Speak soon xx

Benefit Roller Lash Sample in Elle

Benefit Roller Lash Sample in Elle

I remember when magazine makeup samples used to be a bright sparkly pink lip gloss key ring! So glad that has all changed! Anyway, I wanted to do a quick blog post to let you know about the new Benefit mascara in this months Elle Magazine. 

I've been subscribed to Elle for a few years now and it is one of my favourite fashion magazine. It's just so beautifully laid out and crisp looking. And I love the fashion inspiration and the way high end and designer are mixed. And this one even has a lovely article about the stunning Keira Knightley. 

But what really excited me this month was the makeup sample from Benefit, which couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me as I am in desperate need of a new mascara! I love the packaging of the mascara and the mascara itself is really great too. 

I wore this out the other night and really like it. I would say that it is  lengthening and curling mascara, not so voluminous but personally that isn't something I care so much for in a mascara. The plastic brush was really easy to use and another thing that I love is that the little plastic parts mean it is perfect for bottom lashes as well. The only thing that I would say is at the moment it is still pretty wet, but I think this is my new go to mascara and I can't wait for it to try out a bit more. 

Elle magazine is on sale for £4 which I think is a total bargain for a magazine and a Benefit mascara sample. Let me know if you have tried this product too and what your thoughts were. xx
