Magazine Freebies!

This month seems to be a great one for magazine freebies! Today I went to buy Cosmo, totally for university research purposes, and saw it had a free V05 frizz free cream, and then I just fancied a flick through More! and didn't even notice the free Models Own nail polish until I got home!

Luckily I picked up Raspberry Crush rather than the Nude Beige type colour, as it looks exactly the same as my Topshop Big Smoke. Apparantly you can also get one of two Models Own lip glosses instead, if you're not a nail girl. I'm definitely going to try out that colour tonight!

"Frizz Free Creme: For the smoothest, glossiest frizz
free finish. Heat activated formula for use with
straightening irons. Helps protect hair against
heated appliances."
Full size Models Own Nail Polish in Raspberry Crush

I don't know about you, but free gifts always make me so happy, and like buying the magazine was worth it!
Let me know if you've bought either of these mags and enjoyed the freebies, or any others that are around at the moment!

Collective Haul!

There have been some great online sales recently and I still have some boots vouchers so I have done a little bit of splurging this week - but I'm done until Christmas now I swear!

Glamorous Dress
Topshop Metallic Jacket
 I'm iffy on this Glamorous dress to be honest, but it was only £9.99 and I've worn it and taken the tag off so I don't really think I can return it... I don't know, it's just more synthetic material than I like and it clings to my lumps and bumps, eh.

I love my Topshop jacket, though I have absolutely no idea when I'm going to wear it. It's a lot nicer than that picture shows, it's a metallic dusty pink and it fits nicely - I will find a suitable outfit!

Look Beauty Blush - 'Flirt'
I went for this blusher over Sleek's Rose Gold because it's a bigger palette, and it's more coral toned than pink, as most of my blushers are more pink based I fancied a change. It's really pigmented and I'm looking forward to blending it with my bronzer.

NYC - Lights Camera Glitter
Revlon - Scandalous
Maybelline The Falsies Flared
VO5 Hot Oil Moisture Soak Elixir
Lipcote
Little bit of everything here, two nail polishes that I really wanted, the Maybelline mascara I've been meaning to try for ages and then the V05 Moisture Soak which my hair is in dire need of, and Lipcote which I've been searching for!

Anndddddd onto the six lipsticks!!
Kate Moss for Rimmel Matte Lipsticks - 107 and 110
 I'm in love with this collection, I want them all, the Matte's especially! I went for 107 which is a dark pinky red, and 110 which is a bright coral - the texture is just gorgeous.

MUA Lipsticks - Shade 10 and 16 (Nectar)
 Then these MUA lipsticks kind of look similar to the Kate Moss ones but Shade 10 is a lot pinker than 110 and Shade 16, Nectar is more muted and pale (though it doesn't look it in the photo)
Sleek Lipsticks - Peaches & Cream and Papaya Punch
These are my first Sleek lipsticks and it's a bit of a hit and a miss. Papaya Punch is gorgeous, the coral colour, the matte finish - amazing. Peaches and Cream however... eh. It doesn't really stay on my lipsticks and I think it's a bit too yellow for my skin tone - I will persist with it!

So there's my haul guys, probably my last one for a while! Let me know what you think, have you tried any of these products or do you want more of a review on them if you're interested in getting them in the future?

Mini Boots Haul!

Eco-tools Buffing Brush £9.99
Collection 2000 Colour Match Foundation £3.99
VO5 Give Me Texture Instant Oomph Powder
 and Tousled Style Spray 2 for £5

I didn't have too much money to spend, but I managed to get a few of the items from my shopping list post. I absolutely fell in love with this Collection 2000 foundation, I can't believe it's on offer for only £3.99!

I've decided that when my MaxFactor runs out I'm moving onto Bourjois Healthy Mix for my heavier coverage foundation. The texture is just so gorgeous and it blended so nicely when I swatched it on my wrist. I also tried the Revlon Colorstay foundation but for £12.49 I don't know if it's worth it, and I don't know if I exactly match either the 2nd or 3rd shade. I'd rather invest in MAC Face and Body that I can get matched to my skin tone and that will last a lot longer, but that won't be for awhile anyway.

I'm excited to have a buffing brush to add to my collection, hopefully it will give more even coverage than just a standard foundation brush, and Eco-Tools are pretty good quality for the price.


Boots had an offer on 2 V05 styling products for £5, so I decided on the Instant Oomph Powder and Tousled Style Spray to work with my naturally wavy hair. I also thought these products would be fun to try out with my new Remington Pearl Pro Styler - a little bit of an impulse buy from an old Fleur DeForce video but as it's half price on Amazon, how could I resist?

I hope you enjoyed my little haul, as always if you have any comments or questions you can leave them below, or chat to me on twitter!
