Marie Claire Magazine-Free Body Shop Lip and Cheek Stain!

Hola! So today I was on the way to my Nans, and decided to go on a hunt for new magazines out(with a free gift.. still a child at heart!) and I discovered Marie Claire. I've bought this magazine a few times, and its Fab! But normally wouldn't buy it, today however, it came with a fabulous free gift which made me go ahhh!

'The Body Shop Lip&Cheek Stain'! I have never tried a stain before this one, and with this item normally being £10.00 from the Body Shop, I had to get it. The magazine only costs £3.70, with the free gift worth a tenner! Wooohoo! There are 2 lovely colours to choose from, a dark plummy red like I chose, and a pretty springy pink! And as I am so impressed.. I'm off to buy the other one tomorrow! I thought I would do a review on it, and I definetely urge you to go and pick one up!



Firstly the magazine itself, its 289 pages long!!! And very thick, which always looks good when you pick it up off the shelves. Theres lots of gorgeous adverts for new make up- which are amazing! Also in it, are fashion tips, offers, story's, pictures, much to my fancy! I love this magazine, and I think I shall become a frequent buyer..;). Especially since the subscription only costs £18.00, and we get three OPI nail polishes worth £33.00 aswell as Marie Claire! So glad I bought this-and it will keep me from going bored out of my mind tonight!


Next up is the thing I was most excited about, the lip and cheek stain! My first thoughts where that its great.. and my thoughts now, still great! Even from swatching I can tell its much better than other lip tints ive had a nosy at in shops. The applier on the end is just like a lip gloss applier, perfect for lips! At first when you put it on it looks quite strange, but use your finger and rub it in, and it soon turns out to be a gorgeous pinky/red colour, just like a lipstick. 


As for applying it to your cheeks. Dab a small amount on at first, and it will look quite watery and very hot pink, then rub it in on your cheek, and you'll get a gorgeous natural looking blush tint! Overall I rate this product a 10/10, THANKYOU MARIE CLAIRE!  x x x 



Toodles! x x x
