Beauty, Bargains and Beyond

If you like Nails Inc nail polishes, then watch out for the April edition of Marie Claire (out now), as they are giving away a free Nails Inc nail polish with every magazine. There are 4 colours to choose from Fiesta (hot pink), Fashion (lilac), Fizz (pale pink) & Festival (nude) and they are all perfect for Spring.   Photo from Marie Claire Website These polishes have been created especially for Marie Claire and cannot be purchased anywhere else.  I love them all, but I think I will definitely buy the lilac and hot pink colour, although the pale pink and nude look really nice too. So tempting.  The polishes are worth £11 and the magazine costs £4.  Which colour will you pick up? Leighlee This is not a sponsored post

I wrote about the freebies available with the December 2014 issue of Glamour magazine here .  I have now bought all 4 Nails Inc polishes that are available free with this months Glamour Magazine.  There are 4 shades available Marylebone Mews (nude), Hanover Square (burgundy), Tate (red) and Wigmore Street (purple).   Leighlee I bought the magazines with my own money

I just picked up the December 2014 issue of Glamour Magazine which includes freebies from Nails Inc & The Body Shop.   There are 4 shades of Nail Inc nail polish to choose from.  I picked the dark red shade called Tate (there is also a nude, a dark purple and a burgundy colour available.   T here is a Little Card of Christmas Wishes from The Body Shop on page 101. This card is worth £3, £15, £100 or even £1000 to spend in The Body Shop. Take the card into The Body Shop to find out how much it's worth. The magazine also includes a discount card for 20% off H&M and a Pantene Pro-V Breakage Defence Conditioner sample.  Not bad considering that the magazine only costs £2.  I think I will pick up the other 3 shades of Nails Inc Polishes.  Let me know of any other magazine freebies that are out now.

I have just received the May 2014 issue of InStyle magazine and there are a couple of freebies worth mentioning.  There is a voucher in the magazine to pick up a free L'Occitane Almond Milk Concentrate worth £11.  You can pick it up at your nearest L'Occitane Boutique before 30 April 2014 while stocks last. In next months magazine  they are giving away Nails Inc nail polishes worth £11 each.  The Brazil Collection includes 3 limited edition shades - Sugarloaf Sunset is a bubblegum pink, Sao Paulo Streets is a pale neutral colour and Copacabana Coral is a dark coral colour.  I am seriously tempted to buy 3 magazines to pick up each colour. Next months magazine is on sale from 1st May.  Let me know if you see any freebies in any other magazines. Leighlee I bought this magazine with my own money

Here's part 3 of my Sephora haul.  Whilst most of my purchases were gift sets I couldn't resist buying these individual items as well. Nails Inc Nail Polish in Baker Street  10ml $9.50.  I've been wanting this polish for ages but never got around to buying it, so I'm pleased I finally got it as its a lovely colour.  Sephora Collection  Fishnet Hair ties set of 8 $8.50 .  I love these hair ties and have bought them from Birchbox before where they are £10 for 6  (I got them for free by using my Birchbox points).  I hadn't seen this style before so I thought I would buy them. Sephora Outrageous Prisma Chrome Sparkling Metallic Eyeshadows in Outrageous Metallic Beige and Grey .  These were in the sale for $7 each. They are gorgeous metallic colours and I cant wait to try them out. Sephora Makeup Brush Shampoo and Daily Makeup Brush Cleaner  both 60ml and $7 each.  The daily one is for a light clean and the sha...

I couldn't resist buying Decembers Glamour magazine when I found out that there were free Kate Spade Nails Inc nail polishes in 4 gorgeous colours and The Body Shop Joy cards worth at least £3, especially as the magazine only costs £2.  Ok, its not technically free as although I would normally buy 1 Glamour magazine I wouldn't buy 4, but its a free Nails Inc polish  for goodness sake  (which normally costs £11),  I cant be expected to resist that surely.  So yes, I did buy 4 magazines to get the 4 colours and I also got 4 £3 Joy cards to use in The Body Shop.  So all in all I felt like it was worth getting them.  The nail polish colours are fab and will be great to use for Christmas nights out. The colours are: Big Apple Red - A great bold bright red Uptown Glamour - A gorgeous metallic gold shimmer Soho Silver - A lovely metallic silver shimmer New York Noir - A dark black (I am impressed with this as it applies nicely in just 1 coat) ...
