£35 worth of free natural beauty gifts with magazines

This month I've snapped up an incredible £35 of natural and organic skincare products for a money-saving £8.90! It seems that the summer is the time that magazines like to give readers a bonus gift. This is such a great way to try new brands and products and here are two offers I've taken advantage of recently.

Marie-Claire – Balance Me freebies

The August issue of Marie-Claire, with Katherine Heigl on the front cover, has a free skincare gift from Balance Me. There's a choice of 2 gifts available Balance Me daily essentials products – either Moisture Rich Face Cream or Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm. The magazine is also reduced from its usual price of £3.90 to £2.50. so I bought both bagging me £25 worth of products for only a fiver!

InStyle – Neal's Yard Remedies freebie

The wonderful Neal's Yard Remedies Geranium & Orange hand cream normally costs £10. If you want to try it for the bargain price of only £3.90, then pop into your newsagents and get the August edition of InStyle magazine, with Cameron Diaz on the front cover.

Please let me know if you've come across any more green beauty gifts.
