My First Issue Of ALLURE Magazine And My Free Gift

Hi guys,
                I hope you are having a wonderful start of the week so far. If you don’t feel that you are, put some lipstick on, take out your high heels, and act like you are going somewhere. Believe me, It works! I usually don’t talk about magazines on this blog, although I am subscribed to a lot of them, and they are my primary source of inspiration for this blog. I wanted to share my subscription to Allure magazine with you.

             I paid $10.37  for 12 issues. I guest that’s what you get for being an Allure beauty enthusiast.  While I was so pleased with the the first issue, I cannot say that the same was true for the subscription itself.  I was led to believe that I was getting a free tote bag for my paid subscription. I did get the free tote, but it was not what I expected.What I got was a cheap handbag. There is a difference between a good bargain and some cheap stuff. The bag was cheap…cheap material, cheap look, and cheap feel.  Please stay away from this deal. It is not in your advantage.

                Aside from the free tote scam, the magazine itself is great. I love every article, especially the one about Ashley Olsen – the cover story- she is just fascinating. They also have some tips on which mascara does what  to your eyelashes.      

                  There is a great article about wigs, from where they came from to how they are made. For example, 1958 was the year Carita designed wigs for a Givenchy  runway show. It was a great fashion statement, and it saved her time as a hairstylist.

               Allure is a great magazine. It is very informative. Their contributors know for sure what they are talking about. But stay away from their FREE offers.

    Glad you like the magazine. Deals like the one allure is offering with the free tote is often always too good to be true.

    I want the Street Fashion Checked Long Sleeve T Shirt. I looks so comfortable and is so cute. It would be great for my week end wear. I can't paste the link.

    We just got a cheap bait and switch gift from Allure on my wife's subscription. Totally feels like a ripoff. When I googled and found this site, I was amazed at how many people that work for Allure come in and post positive comments about the magazine and try to deflate the "free gift" ripoff.
