March Magazine Giveaway Galore

Excuse the constant alliteration in the title, I couldn't help myself ;)

I am sure you are all already aware that magazines are giving away like crazy this month.

Glamour are giving away Percy & Reed hair goodies. I have not heard of this brand before and I was really interested about the product. I picked up the 'Totally TLC Hydrating Mask' in a generous 100ml. I tried this the other day and I can't really comment on how it was. I would have to use it a few more times to know.
I also picked up the moisturising conditioner and the finishing polish, which I am yet to try, but I think I may be onto something. I love the packaging, its simple and quirky.

How beautiful does Jennifer Lawrence look???

I know Cosmo were giving away Clinique goodies, but it didn't appeal to me. I was more excited about trying the Percy and Reed range.

So have a look next time you are in Tesco/Sainsbury's/Boots and collect them. I didn't get the shampoo because my hair is oily and a moisturising shampoo scares me a little bit. If you collect all of them, they are worth £43, while only spending £8 ;)

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. The sun has just made its entrance, but its Britain, I wonder how long it will last for?

Glamour Mag NOTW and a Tip ;)

Sorry that this blog post is late... but here are the nails inc. polishes I got from Glamour Mag.

(L-R) Tate, Victoria and Piccadilly Circus, two coats of each,
No flash

(L-R)Tate, Victoria and Piccadilly Circus

With Flash

I didn't get all of the colours because the other colour (the lightest one) which reminded me of a colour I have already got, so I thought there is no need for me to have it.


The colours are really nice, good pigmentation and dries quickly. But, the colour I love the most, Victoria, is a bit of a dog to apply. It can get quite streaky, so you have to be patient and apply the coats properly. You can kind of see how streaky it is in the picture above. But overall, I am really happy! Woo!


On to my Tip...
Hands up who likes to paint their nails? Yep that's me included. However, I also have a tendency to paint on my skin because I can't paint my nails neatly :( (you can kind of see that in the picture above!) Oooppsss!


Anyway, I basically paint my nails really messy, so that it allows me to get a proper coat of colour. I make sure that the nail polish is completely dry. Then when I get into the shower, once I have washed my face, had an XFactor sing off and exfoliated my legs, I use an exfoliating glove to remove the dodgy bits of nail polish. You have to be in the shower for like 5 mins or more so that your skin becomes softer (this is the beauty behind this technique)


Instructions:

1. I wet the glove
2. Then I rub it over my nail and the excess nail polish on the skin should just come off. If it doesn't then you may need to be a bit harsher or wet your skin or glove more.
3. Just keep doing this on the 'messy' nails and you will be left with a perfect set of beautifully painted nails ;) (no one will know!)

I have been using this technique for like 5 years and it has never let me down. People actually think I can paint my nails perfectly, but my secret is out now! Haha! But please make sure your nails are completely dry. I usually paint my nails the night before and hop into the shower in the morning and scrub a dub dub! :)


And the other amazing thing is that you can get an exfoliating glove from anywhere!!! They are sooo cheap and are useful for exfoliating your body and your nails ;) I got mine from Boots... Here

I hope you found this useful!

Glamour Magazine & Nails Inc

Yep, a familiar combination and they have teamed up once again. (I am not complaining!) Woo! 

I only managed to pick up one as it was the last one in my Tesco, but at least I got one ;)

I got the colour 'Victoria'. Its a dark red colour, a bit plum toned. It reminds me of the colour LC used to wear in The Hills. :)

The colours, from what I have seen on the cover, are very 'wintery' and I am sure that many of you ladies have enough nail polishes to paint the whole town a million times, but let's face it, we can NEVER have enough!

The covergirl is Kristen Stewart. Who I like and she looks amazing on the cover!

While we are on the topic of Twilight (well, kinda!) I do like the Twilight books and I am still reading the first one... I can never finish a book  in a few month's I always get distracted. And with all these Breaking Dawn trailers...its ruining the story for me! (Cannot believe she gets pregnant?!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!)

But I will do a swatch on all the colours, when I eventually get them!

Sorry for the lack of posting, my life has been crazy the past month! Weddings, uni work and general stuff.....LONG! :/ But in return,I have a few blog posts lined up, so watch this space! ;)

Hope everyone is having a good week! :)
