One of the few good things about the recession is brands try that much harder towards parting you from your hard earned cash. We in the UK have been really fortunate in terms of magazine freebies recently, and it feels like at least one magazine will include some sort of gift to tempt consumers each month. This month is particularly fruitful in terms of make-up freebies (the only reason why I ever buy magazines nowadays) and as well as Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, Red, and Marie Claire all offer freebies with their current issues.
July's edition of Harper's Bazaar UK includes one of three Leighton Denny nail polishes. Do Me A Flavour is an incredibly bright orange creme from the S/S 2011 Gelato Collection, Viva La Diva is a vibrant cool-toned red creme, and Supermodel is a purple/brown/grey (aka greige). Harper's cost £4.20, but each polish retail for £11 individually so there's still a good saving. These are my first Leighton Denny nail polishes and uh, I think my wallet is in trouble... the formula is on the thick side but they are still incredibly easy to apply and I love the glossy finish.
wow these look soo nice! i wish our magazines here in germany would do such great goodies!

The orange is so bright it looks almost neon. It actually looks a bit awkward with my skin tone haha.
@ Tamara Lily
IKR? I rarely buy monthly magazines nowadays but the free gifts have been too good to refuse.
These polishes look creamy and amazing! Whenever I'm in Europe/the UK I look forward to your magazine freebies, it's a shame we don't have them here :(

i love the orange on you :)
ReplyDeleteohh, you got all three of them. I was debating over Orange and the Muted brown, and picked the orange. The UK mags are so generous with freebies during their summer editions.
ReplyDeleteBTW, your hands are really perfect...
ohh, you got all three of them. I eventually picked the orange and I am happy to see it is not that neonly bright on as it looks in the bottle.
ReplyDeleteBTW, you have model-perfect hands...
Again with the crazy perfect nails, i must pick up the orange and greige one xx
ReplyDeleteSooo glad i found your blog, it's really interesting and inspiring to read. love the last colour of naipolish, here in belgium we don't get offered a lot of freebies with magazines, too bad!
ReplyDeletethese are beautiful! might have to pick up the magazine x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous nail polish shades & beautiful nails might I add
ReplyDeleteThe orange is unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteAll three shades are stunning! You certainly can't tell that the formula was harder to work with. And bonus that they were free! I wish I had the same opportunity here in Canada.
ReplyDeleteall 3 shades look lovely! i wish magazines in australia hands out more interesting freebies.
ReplyDeleteI love the red a bit too much!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors, beautiful swatches. :) I too am jealous of all these fantastic freebies included with a magazine purchase! Thanks for tracking each color down and sharing them with us.
ReplyDeleteThe red is gorgeous. LOVE it!
