Benefit make-up palette worth £16.50 for the price of a mag
31 October
What's the deal?
A top chat forum spot! In the latest issue of New Woman (NW) magazine readers are invited to claim a free Benefit Cosmetics make-up palette worth £16.50. There are three palettes to choose from and as the mag costs £2.80, you'll make a saving of over £13.
What you need to do
First check here to find your nearest Benefit counter. Then, simply purchase the December 06 issue of NW magazine, making sure the 'Style Stalker' supplement is attached.
How to get your palette
The offer's printed on the last page of the Style Stalker supplement, so take this with you to the Benfit counter to claim your free palette. Some counters have advised you must agree to have a makeover as well, so be prepared for this possibility.
Ts & Cs
1. Only one palette per customer.
2. Available whilst stocks last (so go quick with all those MoneySavers out there grabbing it

It mentions it in the free magazine Style stalker on the last page. NW readers get a free walk-ins welcome worth £16.50, each palette contains eyeshadow, cream blush, lip shine and mirror. Simply take this style stalker page to your nearest benefit counter to claim your free make-upper makeover and walk-ins welcome palette, one gift per customer while stocks last’
The top 3 palettes are the ones you can choose from. If anyone in your family/friend group loves make-up get this, I love Benefit make-up, and it is worth £16.50 so you can essentially get all the girls one of these for the price of the mag which is £2.80, that is not alot to spend on a FAB gift, plus you get a magazine to read!! It is supposed to be one per customer but if you buy several magazines and go to different outlets, such as Boots, Debenhams, House of Fraser etc they won't know
I have already mentioned this in the magazine thread but I don't think it will get enough exposure so I am putting it up here for everyone to take advantage of.

This is great! thank you! i have a benefit makeover booked on saturday so i shall be taking the mag to my makeover at boots then i may pop to debenhams afterwards too! Thank you!!
I have bought one of these pallettes in the past the pink one is great!
Great post! Just a heads up for people that there are benefit counters in some larger debenhams stores, independent department stores and very few large boots stores. Benefit palettes are great so I'm certainly not going to miss out!

cheers for this ! going to boots tonite (special event)will drop by W.H. Smiths on the way
the palettes are:
Look Me Up & Comb Me Over (Dreamy Peaches)
Heels Low, Hair High (Sugar Nudes)
I Can't Hair A Word You're Saying (Petal Pinks)
You should be able to check these out on the Boots site or Benefitcosmetics.com (got a feeling they might be UK only products though so perhaps not on benefit.com).
Stockists: 0901 113 0001 or go to benefitcosmetics.com
Edit: In fact the link in Kat Chambers post takes you straight to them - they're the top three.
every time i go in for freebie cosmetics or samples they are 'out of them' so this time i think i'll go to boots and ask if they have any before buying the magazine.
once burned, twice shy...
I went to Debenhams, House of Fraser and Boots all within 20 mins of each other and picked up one of each of the palettes. They keep them in a draw, so you won't see them for sale as they are limited edition. Just hand over the last page and they give you the item and that's it, simply, quick and easy. It is fantastic!
I get a lot of freebies from magazines and this is by far the best!! Good luck and enjoy everyone!

Were the SAs happy to just give you the palettes without having the makeover?
Oh god I just had a makeover to get my free palette...They tried to sell me products and booked me in for another eye make-over..It was a nice makeover but I couldn't afford all the products at the end anyway...I was told in debenhams and boots you have to have a makeover to receive your palette..This is in Doncaster...
No, I didn't have to have a make-over and it doesn't say anywhere on the page that you MUST have a make-over to receive the palette. I simply handed over the page and they asked which one I wanted, I told them, then they handed over the palette and then I was gone, in and out in less than 3 minutes, this was the same at all 3 stores.
If the SA says you must have a make-over I would say, sorry I don't have time, I will come back for my make-over another time, I will just take my free palette please. They can't force you.

Oh no - I just got home and ripped open my mag to find that I have picked up the November one instead of the December one with the offer in. There are two free Benefit make-up bags in it - although they look like cheap plastic pencil cases!
I think the magazine is total rubbish, so don't know if I want to spend another £2.80 on the December one and then find they have run out of samples!
