Magazine Freebie's // August.

This month I decided I would pick up a few magazine's & review the freebies that they were giving away. Buying magazine's is something that I haven't done in quite a while so I have found it quite a treat for myself. It's the little things in life ;) I decided to post this near the end of the month so that I have chance to properly use the products & give my honest opinion's!  Im aware that I have put August this is because of the way magazines are done a month in advance :) I haven't lost track of the months just yet ;) 

Glamour Magazine: 

Freebie - Clinque Chubby Stick - 07 Super Strawberry. Worth £17.

 

Glamour offered the choice of 3 different Clinque products:

(click the links to buy online) 

• Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm
• High Impact Mascara
• Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+

  Normally I would've gone for either the mascara or moisturizer as I am not someone who wears lipstick,but seeing as it was free what was there to lose if I didn't like it?! After all,I had heard such good things about it!  

It is packed with shea butter,mango seed butter & jojoba seed oil & helps to protect lips. All 18 different shades can be layered to create the blend you want. The thing I liked most about this product is that the crayon like barrels make the colour easy to apply,no mirror is needed,so you can apply on the go! It's also not very bright which I prefer & it just gave a lovely pink tint to my lips. I will definitely use up the freebie but don't know if I will buy it as i'm not really one for lipsticks & have millions of lip balms lying around the place! 

Elle Magazine: 

Freebies - Malin + Goetz Skincare Travel Pack. Worth £10.

As someone who normally gets in from work at 11:30pm at the earliest,I don't really have a skincare routine,I take my make-up off with wipes & apply some Benefit Total Moisture Cream then collapse into bed. I have recently wanted to have some sort of skin care routine so when I saw this giveaway in Elle Magazine I decided to pick it up. It grabbed my attention because I had never heard of Malin + Goetz & i'm always up for trying out new things. 

Check out their website here:

So,for the past few night's I have been giving these a try and I have definitely felt a different to my skin! It just feels alot more cleansed,fresh & smooth! I've noticed a difference when putting on my makeup too! I may possibly go back to these at some point! :)

TRESemme 7 Day Smooth System Review!

1: Apply a generous amount of the shampoo to wet hair & then follow with the conditioner & leave it on for 2-3 minutes.

2: Towel dry hair & then apply approx 8-10 pumps (for medium length hair) of the heat activated treatment & then comb it through. 

 3: Blow dry hair completely for the best results. 

4: Straighten hair to activate the thermal technology, divide into small sections & use your straighteners on their highest setting. Repeat 3-5 times over each section. 

Annnnd voila! Smooth straight hair!

After 5 days with just using the shampoo & conditioner,none of the heat activated treatment which they say lasts 7 days between washes... It was still smooth & straight!!

Review

My hair being naturally curly & frizzy,I am always on the look out for new hair products to tame the frizz. Although I have just recently started wearing my hair curly I still like to tame the frizz! The weather has been getting warmer so I have been straightening my hair more as I get to warm with my mass of curly hair. I had heard so much about the TRESemme 7 day smooth system that I decided to give it a try! I wasn't expecting any miracles but the set was a bargain in Tesco so I couldn't resist!

The first day I used it i definitely felt the difference in my hair,straight after I blowdried it! It was smoother & not as frizzy,yay! I then straightened it & fell in love,it had worked! I'm not someone who washes my hair everyday as my hair doesn't need it! I was expecting my hair to get greasy very quickly with all the product i had applied but again,it suprised me & I actually went 2 days without washing it & even then it didn't reallly need to be washed,I just did it because I felt dirty! 

This time I only used the shampoo & conditioner as they state you only need to use the heat treatment once every 7 days. I was ready to apply some but again,my hair didnt need it! 

By day 5 my hair was still smooth & straight as you can see from the pictures above! 

Yesterday I washed my hair & this time applied the heat treatment which achieved smooth locks again. Next time I think I may try not using it to see if it lasts that little bit longer! 

I highly recommend this to anyone who wants smooth straight princess hair :) It honestly feels like I have just stepped out of a salon,without the dent in my bank balance! 

It looks like Tesco have stopped the deal on them now but its worth checking in-store anyway! :)

Buy these products.

Give Me Iron!!

Hi Guys!

So,today I had a few errands to do which I had to literally drag myself out of bed to do! I needed to transfer money to my friends bank account for our spa break we planned last night!! A post will be up about that when we've come back!! Anyway,I had loads of trouble doing it online,which I thought would be quick & easy but I ended up having to take a trip to my bank,on a saturday which is always the worst! Luckily I have a bank outside of the city centre so I didn't have to experience the hustle & bustle of Plymouth city centre on a saturday! I avoid town at the best of times! 

After finally sorting my banking problems out I did a slight detour to Boot's,oops! I have an excuse though,I needed some iron tablets as im anemic but am far to lazy & busy to book an appointment to the doctors to get more iron tablets. I decided to buy some that I have used before & got on with them well. These are the Boot's own Multivitamins with iron,which i feel is better than just iron tablets anyway as they contain more essential nutrients. They actually contain 14 essential nutrients! I'm hoping they help a little until i can find time to get a doctors appointment!
