Free Benefit Gift with Glamour?!

So hopefully you all know this, or may be getting this as I write!

Glamour Magazine is giving away FREE Benefit gifts with their July issue Magazine!!!
If my friend Kirsty hadn't reminded me I would of missed out on this freebie! Seeing as I'm the most indecisive person in the world (everyone who knows me will agree) I decided that I couldn't just pick up one magazine with one freebie.
So... I picked up two. Oh dear.
Although! Glamour magazine is £2! So at this present moment, I could afford it! Plus... £2 for about £20 worth of products? VERY good!

(excuse the low quality picture!)

I picked up the magazines with the Benefit 'High Beam' and 'Posie Tint'.
I'm gonna be honest and say, I've actually never used a Benefit product. Which probably seems quite weird! So I thought this was a perfect opportunity, to pay a little price and try a product!
I always use a lip and cheek stain, so the 'Posie Tint' seemed like a good pick!
Now I'll probably compare this and my beloved Body Shop one!
The other magazine was with 'High Beam'. This is a 'luminescent complexion enhancer'. Again I've never used this nor have I tried a highlighter/illuminator before! So this will be a completely new one for me!

First impressions...


Very cute packaging! 
Posie Tint's packaging looks so glamourous, so I can't wait to try it! 
High Beam; bit weary as I've never tried a highlighter before! 
Both of these are only 4.0ml, so they are perfect if you just want to 'try before you buy' (even though you've paid £2) Also great if you just want a mini version in your make-up bag! I'll probably keep mine in there if I like it! (I'm yet to try both!)


Posie Tint is more Pink than I thought it would be! But it does say 'poppy pink' on the box! 
High Beam looks exciting now. Nice shimmery silver/peach colour! 


This is probably the worst swatch as my camera wouldn't focus :(
But on the left is Posie Tint and the right High Beam.

Now I've undone both of the packages and checked them out, I am excited to try them! 

I'm not sure why I've never tried Benefit products. Sometimes the names of what the products are called, put me off. I don't really like it when things have weird names, I'd rather they just say what the product does! But that's just my personal opinion I guess! 
Who knows, my mind might be converted after trying these! 

And for £2? You can't really complain!
If you've tried these 2 products please let me know what you think of them, as I am a Benefit newbie!

Speak soon!

  6. That's a great deal!

    I haven't tried any Benefit products yet, they are too expensive over here in my opinion, so too bad :p

  7. you know my love of high beam, perfect for my skin tone as it blends really well with my other makeup. I still really like the more waxy highlighter in the smoking eyes kit though, although highbeam is much lighter and nicer to wear :) xx
