The official deal is for a 12 mths subscription of Marie Claire* for $69 which equates to a saving of 32% ($31.80) off the street price of $8.40 per issue. That to me is not a deal as I only buy the occasional issue when they have good free samples with that particular month's issue.
The real cincher here is that the first 300 subscriber get a free GHD Air hair dryer. These are top-of-the-range hair dryers in the current market today and have an RRP of $199 (but can be found on ebay for $127 delivered).
Now I've used one of these dryers before (at a salon when getting my hair done) and they are great at cutting down drying time with the 2100w motor without leaving hair feeling like it's been blitzed tinder dry. The ionic technology also helps to keep hair feeling soft and looking silky smooth, cutting down on the need to use additional styling products. It has 2 heat settings, 2 fan settings and a cool shot function. For more information, check out the official product page.
So effectively you could get a great styling product almost half the cheapest price and 12 mths worth of magazine reading. Good Buy and have already made my order tonight. Be quick since it's meant to be limited to the first 300 subscribers.
Would make a good gift for the gf (valentines day is coming up), sister, mum or yourself if there is no one out there to spoil you.
- Marie Claire is a monthly publication on Fashion, style, beauty and health, peppered with the occasional feature article covering current womens' issues. They also regularly include sample sized beauty products with their monthly issue from brands such as Jurlique, Nepolean Perdis, L'Occitane and Becca in the past.
Am I missing something here?
$125 cream is "the same value" as a $199 hair drier?!?
