In this financial climate who can resist a lovely freebie or two or three? And when it comes with your fave mag what a win!  I love to live vicariously through other more glamorous women so am quite prepared to forego pretty much anything (except chocolate!) to make sure that Marie Claire makes it into my grocery trolley.

The June issue of Marie Claire features an article on men’s best and worst dates, an interview with Gemma Arterton (“the thinking man’s crumpet”!) and this summers hottest nail colours. The Avon goodies as an added bonus is music to my ears. Awesome quality at an affordable price, Avon makes up pretty much my entire bathroom cupboard. Their gel eyeliner goes with me everywhere and their glimmersticks are a must have.

You can either pick up this issue at your closest newsagent or why not subscribe and have every month’s issue delivered direct to your door and never miss an issue. That’s one less thing on your To do list.

So be inspired by the latest designer and high street fashion news, celebrity interviews, practical beauty advice and the latest lifestyle tips in this month’s Marie Claire and enjoy top quality Avon products that will make you want more!

Nails Inc nailpolish has to be my absolute favourite. You get amazing styles and great quality nail polish that lasts for ages. The only problem with it, of course, is the price. Buying this nail polish is all about giving yourself a treat.

• Click here to find out where to get free nail polish with InStyle Magazine

So, how about buying a copy of InStyle magazine today and then getting yourself a bottle of Nails Inc nail polish for free? Yes, you do have to pay for the magazine, but that is hardly as much as the nail polish and you can choose between three colours.

Indeed, there are Peach, Totes Pink and It’s Red, Babez as the three colours you can choose fromj and each has been created exclusively for the magazine. The magazine only costs £3.90 and the nail polish is worth £11. Now that IS a bargain freebie.

How would you like to try a free sample of the tasty Café Direct range of coffee? Yeah? Me too. I love their coffee, it tastes far better than the fair-trade Co-op coffee we buy from time to time and it still supports the growers and ensures things are done ethically. What a fabulous free treat.

• Click here to get your free coffee from Café Direct

When you get to the landing page you will see a movie and to the right of the movie is a button you can select to get your free sample. Put your details into their form and you should get your sample in a couple of weeks.

You don’t need to put a lot of personal information into this form, which is a rather nice change from some of the other freebies I’ve signed up for in the past, and you can opt in to receiving their newsletter. It’s a pretty good newsletter though, good read with your free coffee. Ha!

C2C are offering expectant mums a Baby on Board badge to help them find a seat on a busy train. It’s a really sweet idea that will definitely come in handy for any woman holding her back and desperately in need of a chair.

• Click here to get your free badge from C2C

It’s important for mums to get a seat, especially on busy trains, and it can be quite hard to ask someone to give up their seat for you. So C2C are offering an official C2C Baby on Board badge to all expectant mums who are travelling on route with C2C to wear in order to let other customers know that you may need a seat.

You do need to be travelling with C2C in order to get your free badge and then you need to fill in the form that is on the site and they will send you the badge in the post. What a sweet idea!

I love weird body butter creams and lotions and potions. I especially enjoy the ones that you don’t expect to be amazing, the ones that look a bit odd and turn out to be the best thing in the world ever. I have a feeling that this body butter might fit this bill for some reason and I’m delighted that I get to try it out for free. Maybe it’s the name?

• Click here to get free butter from Dirty Works

I adore the Soap and Glory range of products that look remarkably similar to this range of products from Dirty Works. I bought a Soap and Glory body scrub that smells, quite frankly, astonishing. It is my best treat ever.

Dirty Works have joined with Sainsburys Magazine to offer their new fans a mini Supreme Cream Body Butter to try out. To claim your free sample, simply Like their page and then email your name, UK address, and post code to dirtyworks@brandarchitekts.com. Done.

This is a rather nice freebie for all of you out there who like something pamperific for free. You can get yourself a free 7-day kit from Garnier as long as you get in there as fast as possible and make sure you are one of the first 10,000 people.

• Click here to get some freebies from Garnier

To claim your free Garnier Body Intensive 7-day sample kit you need to fill in your name, address, date of birth, email details and country of origin. They also ask you to give them some information about yourself like what brands you use now and whether or not you’d like to get more free samples in the future.

The 7-Day challenge is about how amazing your skin will look at the end of a week of using this body lotion. I am a fan of Garnier myself, but I can’t get this freebie as it will probably arrive after I’ve moved house. Pity, as it looks like a good freebie!

Vanish are offering a free sample of their Vanish Sensitive Gel on their Facebook page at the moment. Of course, you do have to click on the requisite Like button in order to get your free sample, but if you don’t mind, then this is an ace freebie.

• Click here to vanish with Vanish

When you click Like on the Vanish Facebook page you will get a free sample of Vanish sensitive gel. This gel tackles tough stains on your children’s clothes without irritating their sensitive skin. The product has been dermatologically designed for people with sensitive skin.

Now you can remove stains without worrying about your little one getting a rash or reacting badly to the product afterwards when they wear the clothes. The gel is safe on colours and whites, gentle on skin, designed to target tough stains, and fabulously free to try out on the Vanish Facebook page. Brilliant.

Summer seems to be the time of the Mills & Boon freebie apparently as this is the second one I’ve found in less than a month. This time you don’t end up with any strange and unexpected agreements with Mills & Boon but instead you get several free eBooks with no catch at all from WH Smith.

• Click here to get free books at WH Smith

The five Mills & Boon eBooks on offer are downloadable as eBook content and they are available in the Adobe DRM format so they should be readable on almost every single device you own including the: desktop, eReaders, Smartphones and Tablets.

The titles you get are Mias Scandal, Bought: Destitute Yet Defiant, Their Newborn Gift, Emergency: Wife Lost and Found, and Wedding at King’s Convenience. They seem to run the gamut of the different Mills & Boon genres so if you are a fan of a specific type, then one should be here for you.

Thanks to andywedge at HUKD!

I think that with all the baby freebies we’ve had going on here lately, it’s time that mum gets a look in, don’t you? I discovered this ace freebie while I was ambling about on the net this fine day and I figured many a mum would be delighted to give this free stretch mark cream a try.

• Click here to get your freebie from SilDerm

SilDerm is a new concept in the beauty and aesthetics market that apparently used to be a secret of the stars but is now available to everyone. The SilDerm range has been proven to be effective under the most stringent clinical studies, done by experts in their fields.

SilDerm for the Prevention of Stretch Marks Oil has ingredients that have been proven to significantly reduce the formation of stretch marks. It contains several unique, safe and effective ingredients such as Gotu Kola and Tocopherol.

Now you can experiment with either their SilDerm Stretch Mark Repair Cream or their Stretch Mark Prevention Oil for free. Just choose the sample you want, enter your details and it will soon be on its way to you. A very tasty freebie for mum.

Imagine my surprise when I received a free pair of knickers in the post along with a box of Always Dailies and a letter. I don’t often get posted underwear so it did make me pause. The offer also made me go, “Oooh.” You see, if you buy a box of Always Dailies (and the other promotional packs outlined below), you can get a pair of gorgeous knickers for free.

• Click here to find out more about your freebie from Always

Always Dailies has teamed up with Figleaves.com to offer women both a free pair of knickers AND 20% off from the online store. The first 2,000 customers will get the purple panties with their first purchase on the site.

To take advantage of this offer you buy a pack of Always Dailies, Simply Fits, Always Silk, Always Freshness or Always Freshelle (you can tell it is the right pack as it has the “Exclusive knickers and 20% off” sticker on it). You then log on to Figleaves.com and enter the code on the reverse of the sticker. Your purchase will then get 20% taken off and, if you are among the first 2000, you will get free knickers.

They are gorgeous by the way!

You will find these promotional packs of Always at participating stockists such as Tesco, Sainsburys and so forth. I would advise doing so instore so you definitely get one with the sticker and code on it as you can't always tell online.

Fancy grabbing yourself a free Aloe Vera Gel from the Aloe King? Well, they are running a special offer on their Facebook page so you can do just that, and you can even get it gift wrapped for free as well. Nice.

• Click here to get some free gel at Aloe King

I must confess that the name of the company makes me laugh – Aloe King. I don’t know why, but it just tickles me. Anyway, they are offering free samples of their Aloe Vera gel to anyone who Likes their Facebook page.

To get your freebie you will need to fill in a short form as well, obviously for both marketing and posting reasons, and it won’t take you very long at all. Soon you will have a tasty tub of aloe vera to enjoy.

I apologise to all the PlayPennies Dads here, this is probably not a freebie for you. And to those mums who think Mills & Boon and other such romantic novels are a waste of time, I apologise to you too. I, however, have a soft spot for these books as I discovered them when I was a teen and thought they were terribly exciting. Now you can get two free books right now and try them out. Go on, you know you want to…

• Click here to get some free romance from Mills & Boon

So, what you have here is Mills & Boon attempting to ensnare the unwary by sending them two free historical romance novels and hoping to hook them to the brand. Clever… You are under no obligation to buy anything if you accept your two free historical novels and there is no catch and no delivery charges.

Just bung them into your bag, send your order and wait for these two free books to appear in your mailbox. Good timing for lazy summer reading…

Thanks to TallerPaul at HUKD!

This is a lovely freebie for a mum! I am a fan of Dove actually, I like their ad campaign and have a soft spot for their products, probably because their soap is one of the few that doesn’t dry my skin out. Anyway, if you fancy a free sample of Dove Body Wash you only need to amble on over to their Facebook page.

• Click here to get a free sample of Dove Body Wash

The new Dove Body Wash is all about nourishing your skin deep down to keep it soft, clean and fresh. They have a new ingredient/formula called NutriumMoisture (hahaha) that is a unique blend of moisturisers, enriched with natural lips to restore the strength of your skin.

Once you have ambled on over to the Dove Facebook page, click Like and you’ll be take to the Get your free sample link. Click on this and fill in your details on the form provided. It won’t take you long and you’ll soon have your lovely free sample to enjoy.

If you fancy a free pack of L’Oreal Sublime mousse hair colour, then this is the fabulous freebie for you. You don’t have to do a lot to get this free sample, but it is definitely worth it. As L’Oreal would say, “Because you’re worth it!”

• Click here to get your free sample from L’Oreal

To get your free sample of L’Oreal Sublime Mousse you will have to register with them, or sign in if you are registered already. Then you fill in all the details required of you, print out the voucher, and then go and pick up your sample from Superdrug.

If you don’t have a printer, they have given you some other options so you are not completely left out of this lovely free L’Oreal sample. And the clever lady who uncovered this deal mentioned that when she hit the “back” button on her browser, she got a second voucher!

So, to summarise, to get your free L’Oreal voucher you need to register, fill in your details, and press print. Sorted.

This is another great freebie for this fabulous Friday – a seven day supply of Lancome Teint Miracle Foundation. To claim your freebie you need to click on the link, print out the voucher and take yourself to your nearest Lancome counter to collect it.

• Click here to get freebies with Lancome

This foundation claims to be super light and sheer but strong enough to give you complete cover.  It is a water based foundation, with almost 40% of the product made up of water, and includes all sorts of fancy extras that apparently reflect light and other such useful things.

It has had some really positive reviews from mummy bloggers who love to cosmetic, and from some of the pros. It looks really good on, and does offer a lovely flawless finish without caking. I have seen some great shots of it on women’s skin and been quite impressed.

So, if you fancy a free sample of this so-called miracle foundation then hop on over to their Facebook page and get your voucher. Then come here and tell us what you think!

Thanks to crazyterrier2000 at HUKD!

Ooooh, now this is a freebie I can relate to! I love a free sample of yummy scrummy face products. Boots and Olay have teamed up to offer you a free sample of the Olay Regenerist 3 Point Super Serum that is apparently brilliant for firmer looking skin on the face, neck and décolletage.

• Click here for some free fabulousness

To get your share of the free serum being unleashed by Boots and Olay all you need to do is fill in the form and click on Get Your Free Sample. It’s that easy. The offer closes on the 31/12/2010 and is open to residents of the UK and Ireland only. You will have to wait up to 28 days for your order to arrive and it is only available while stocks last.

I am hoping that stocks don’t run out soon, I am assuming they had quite a few set aside thanks to the long deadline. I also hope that this sample is a bit bigger than those little flat efforts you get in magazines. You honestly can’t tell if a product is working when you get only one application.

If you nab the freebie please DO let me know so we can compare notes.

If you were unlucky and missed the chance of winning a free sample of Simple’s eye make-up remover this morning, then this freebie is just for you. While not eye make-up remover, it is another of the lovely Simple skincare products that will keep your skin clear and glowing.

• Click here to nab your free sample from Simple

So if you fancy a free pack of Simple Spotless Skin Quick Fix Cleansing Wipes (that’s quite a name), then fill in your details on the page and soon a sample will be on its way to you.

The new Simple Spotless Skin range has been designed for teenage spot-prone skin (or young adults) and is a nice blend of spot fighting ingredients and antibacterial goodness. Wahoo! I have used these even though I’m not a teenager and they are really light and lovely.

So, whether you’re a grown up teenager or happen to have teenage kids that need a spot of spot fighting action (ha ha) then get your name down on this page and send off for your free packet of wipes.

Thanks to Turtlehead at HUKD!

Simple has teamed up with 30 Days to bring a mega one-day beauty giveaway to the first 300 clever souls to enter into this giveaway today. So quick! Before reading another word, click on the link below and get in there for your free pack of Simple Radiance Eye Make-up Remover Pads.

• Click here to get your freebie from Simple

Simple offer a range of lovely products for skincare and beauty and they have had some great reviews from other mums, especially the younger ones. I really like their eye make-up remover as it isn’t oily and greasy, and it really works nicely.

Instead of turning you into a terrifying mom panda, it wipes the mascara and eye shadow off in pretty much two goes. And one wipe should easily do two eyes. Here’s hoping that you were one of the lucky 300 people who made it and got the lovely free packs!

Thanks to bonnyboo22 at HUKD!

While summer may be on the out (and boy did that happen quickly) it doesn’t mean that the diets are too – why not keep that gorgeous figure going with a free sample of Birt & Tang’s slimming tea. For a limited time you can nab yourself a free sample and enjoy the benefits.

• Click here to get some slimming tea for free

The offer is running in conjunction with the BBCs GoodFood magazine so to request your sample you need only to fill in the form on the page I linked to above. This is Birt & Tang’s premium weight-loss tea called SlimArt and the value of the sample is £4.99. That’s an ace freebie! Oh, and the answer to the question is 95…

So, what exactly is in this fabulous tea? It has been specifically formulated to be packed full of antioxidants which help protect cells from irregular metabolism. It blends Puer Tea with Rosehip and WaterLily Leaf to produce the ultimate slimming tea.

I’ve gone ahead and got one for myself. I’m not sure it sounds very tasty but, hey, anything to be thin!

I think that, unless it wasn’t planned, getting a pregnancy test is one of the most exciting things ever. You’re about to find out whether you’re going to have that much wanted baby and everything is a bit giddy and nerve-wracking. And expensive! I can’t believe how costly some pregnancy tests are.

• Click here to register for your free pregnancy tests

DuoFertility are sending out two free pregnancy tests to 100 people every day as a part of their campaign to raise awareness about fertility issues in the UK. While you may not be guaranteed a test (maybe fill in the form first thing in the morning), it’s worth a shot!

At least they will be free. I really don’t understand the cost of pregnancy tests now. I mean, do we really need a digital display that tells you exactly what day you fell pregnant and all that stuff, and that costs the same as a meal for two at a decent restaurant?

If you happen to be trying for a baby and one of these tests tells you, “Yes!” then do let us know so we can shower you in congratulations.
