March Freebies 2! Glamour and Percy & Reed

I tend to buy magazine depending on what they have free with them. L did a post on Marie Claire's monthly freebie that can be found here.

I was instantly draw to this months glamour after seeing it came with a hair mask. I use hair masks  all the time. I have very fine hair that gets damaged easily so I try to use masks weekly on my hair. I will be doing a post on these soon. Which masks do you use?

Gym Rat

Since January I've been going to the gym/pool/classes around 4 times a week.

My main aims were to lose weight, tone up and generally get fit and healthy again.

I get stressed out easily from Uni work and other things, so the gym really helps keep that under control, otherwise I get ill with stomach cramps and headaches, nice!

After deciding on joining Bannatynes, I threw myself right in at the deep end and had my personal training session where my really nice female trainer took my height/weight measurements etc and devised a work out for me to do.

NOTD OPI I'm a Pool for Love.

A lovely friend sent me a selection of nail polishes, you may remember by essie NOTD found here, which was another polish I was sent. What a lucky girl. When I opened my parcel I was so pleased to see this, as I'd seen some of the range and absolutely love it.

I started with a coat of my trusty OPI Matte Nail envy (full review coming soon). Then painted on two coats of the polish. In two coats it was completely covered, after one coat it was a little patchy. now to describe this beauty of a colour. To start with photos don't do it justice. It reminds me slightly of OPI Russian Navy. It's undercoat is similar to this with gorgeous pink and purple micro glitter.

Review: Chanel Perfection Lumiere

I’m currently on the hunt for the perfect foundation. I want one that lasts most of the day (I’d say all day but for someone with oily/combination skin this is hard) I prefer a dewy finish but I think I need more of a matte finish to get the lasting power. My final criteria it needs is a medium finish, preferably buildable for when I have breakouts. I’m also extremely pale adding another challenge to the hunt. If you have any suggestions for foundations that you think would be good please let me know. I’m not too worried about price, as long as I like it.

I’d heard such good things about Chanel perfection lumiere I couldn’t wait to try it. I popped down to my local boots to get a sample. After chatting to the lady on the counter I said I was on the hunt for the perfect foundation and that I had combination skin and had heard such good things about perfection lumiere. She agreed it would be best for my skin type so checked what colour I’d be. The lightest in their range 110 buff (no surprise there).  She dispensed a generous amount into a sample pot (enough for 5 days, I love this as I feel it gives you a real chance to see if the foundation is for you, and if you are about to spend £36 on a foundation I think it’s necessary).

What a Brilliant sample size. I hope I can get more like this.
