Free Benefit Cosmetics Dews The Hoola in next months Elle magazine. (September cover)


Out Weds 3rd Aug
£4.10
RRP £9.95

Official MoneySavingExpert insert Tue 2 Aug: The September issue of Elle (Kristen Stewart on the cover) is on sale from Wed 3 Aug to Mon 19 Sep and costs £4.10. The freebie is a Benefit Dew The Hoola liquid bronzer, 5ml, worth £3.75 based on the full-sized 30ml product in John Lewis - so only worth buying if you'd purchase the magazine anyway. Elle has told us subscribers should also receive the freebie.

Big thanks to sampan26 for the original spot!

    Sounds great- Hoola is a bronzer isn't it?

    Yes Hoola bronzer, but this is the liquid version. I thought it would be dark/ orange but gives a nice soft glow, or build up for dark :)

    I have to wonder how they justify saying 'worth £9.95' on a national magazine. I had a look yesterday and - although in a bigger box - it's the same 5ml size as I've received previously as a sample. By my calculations, based on the full size 30ml bottle retailing at £22.50, it's worth £3.75! Still a good freebie and I like Benefit products but I find their claim a bit misleading.

    By our calculations, too, edawn! I guess if you're a subscriber and pay less per issue but still get the freebies it's worth it, or you'd buy the magazine anyway :) Have updated our insert above to reflect the new information - thanks!
