    I personally love the bad gal but I am a dark eye liner wearer!!!
    The it stick and eye bright are ok but not essentials to be like the liner ;)

    I bought this months glamour as they claim you get a full sized Benefit eye liner/ eye bright /it stick when bought altogether would cost you £45 but on looking at the boots website the weight of the products are 2.27g, the free ones are only 1.4g, so they are not full sized products and you do not save £45, more like £22.50!!!! although i realise you still get a bargain i think it is false information and i will be emailing glamour magazine for an answer!!!

    I've looked at Eye Bright in Benefit before and from what I can remember it looks the same size. They did give away a Benefit mascara a few months back which was smaller and they labelled it a sample. Then last year they gave away 3 choices of lipgloss, and they were definitely full-size.

    edit - just checked some YouTube vids and they seem to be full-size. Maybe Boots got their stats wrong?

    I compared all three to the ones I had originally bought as soon as I got them. I also noticed the size difference, but thought this was because I had bought mine years ago so I thought they might have changed them since.
    They are as follows:
    Bad Gal 2.2g | with Glamour 1.4g
    It Stick 2.4g | with Glamour 2.4g
    Eye Bright 1.7g | with Glamour 1.4g
    Thanks MSE!!

  • I went for the eye bright. I nearly got the others but had a "want V need" moment! I don't wear black eyeliner and love my touche de clait so dont need a new concealer.

    OMG! i missed the lipgloss where was i then. when was this and what were the colour choices? i won my first benefit lipgloss through the flake comp and i love it - compared to few other glosses i have tried. i am mainly a lipstick fan but decided to try glosses and although initially not impressed with few that i tried - thought i'd try the benefit one (won a couple of their lipsticks from flake too) and i think these are the best so far!

    It was the same kind of thing, 3 different lipglosses and you had to buy 3 copies of Glamour to get them all. They were from Benefits 'Her Glossiness' lipgloss range - 'my people, your people', 'didn't hear it from me' and 'who are you wearing?' I know this because I still have mine, they had a funny sort of scent that I didn't really like, so I hardly touched them!

    I was looking for these in Newcastle city centre yesterday afternoon. WHSmith has loads of the It Sticks and Eye Brights - but no Bad Gals. The shop assistant said they'd sold over 500 copies of the magazine since Thursday. It was the only shop I could find ANY copies in though - and I went all over Eldon Square and Northumberland Street!
