Magazine freebies - Marie Claire UK November 2013

Rose Tenderness, Gentle Violet, and Passionate Jasmine

Among L'occitane's latest offerings, are these  new limited edition shea butter hand creams. Small enough to fit in your clutch, hand bag or carry on, plus they are available with the current issue of Marie Claire magazine as a free gift. The L'Occitane Shea Butter handcream is rich in formular but when applied absorbs into the skin very easily. I absolutely love it and I am not ashamed that I bought 3 Marie Claire magazines, in order for me to obtain all three of these limited edition scents. I saved 53% off the RRP, there is no shame in the L'Occitane game.

**remember these lil hand creams make great presents, there is no shame is grabbing a few to use as stocking fillers**

Benefit that Gal primer, Benefit Porefessional primer and a travel sized version of the Benefit Bad gal lash mascara are all up for grabs. **Please note that this is in conjunction with the Glamour Women of the Year Awards so there are 3 different covers on the magazine.**

Elle magazine July 2012 Edition which features the scrumptious and delectable David Beckham on the cover I offering a limited edition vest from English fashion house REISS. Colours to choose from include White, Grey, a mint Green and Coral. I am personally not a fan of freebie clothing, but its from REISS so I can see how others may be tempted. The Coral is hands down the best one, just saying. 

There you have it a good stash, I must say if anyone is indulgent enough to purchase everything listed.
