March Magazine Freebies!

Three amazing gifts are included in Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire and Glamour this month. I enjoy getting products with magazines as it's a great way to decide for yourself what products you like before forking out money for them.

Here are the three magazine gifts I got...

Last but not least in Glamour, there are four Percy & Reed hair care products to choose from. I went for the Quite Franky Flawless Finishing Polish (100ml). This is a really generous sized product, so I can see this lasting ages as you only need to apply a pea-sized to your hair. I'm expecting really good things from this as I did a review on their No Fuss Fabulousness Dry Shampoo recently which I really liked. There's also a seperate beauty guide in the magazine this month which shows gorgeous products that were used to create red carpet looks.

There's four luxury Clinique gifts to choose from in Cosmopolitan. To be honest I'm not the biggest fan of this brand. I had a bad reaction to one of their products back in my school days. I chose the magazine with the Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief. It's advertised towards people with oily skin so I'll see how it goes. I think the fact that this product can be used in different ways drew me towards it. I'll let you know how I get on with this.

Last but not least in Marie Claire, there's a full size Neal's Yard Rehydrating Rose Daily Moisture cream for normal skin. This is a brand that I've heard great things about but never tried before. I'm looking forward to trying this moisturiser but bear in mind I do have oily skin, so I don't know if this will be right for me. 

What magazines have you picked up this month??

Marie Claire September Issue

Like everyone else this month I purchased Marie Claire. On the cover is the gorgeous Anne Hathaway. I can't wait to see her new film, One Day which is released this week. Unfortunately I haven't read the book but if the ads are anything to go by this will be a Summer hit. Hopefully I can get the boyfriend to tag along with me.

 Of course when I seen the gorgeous Ciate nail polish freebie with this month's issue I couldn't resist. Last month, I got a Ciate lipgloss with the magazine which I've been using alot. There are 2 different shades to choose from and I picked My Fair Lady. It's a gorgeous nude colour which would be perfect for work. Expect a NOTD very soon.

There is also a Dove Nourishing Oil Care Express Treatment Conditioner Sample with this issue. Has anybody used it yet?? I can't wait to try this out. This product is a conditioner and a treatment in one so it seems to have a lot to live up to. I haven't tried anything from the Dove Haircare range yet so I'll let you know my thoughts. As this is a travel size product I will probably wait until I go away to use it.

Have you purchased this month's Marie Claire magazine??..What nail polish did you get??

Weekly Round Up #5

Here are some my highlights from last week........

Monday I met my boyfriend in town. We went shopping and I picked up some lovely goodies.
 I brought all my empties Back to MAC and picked up another lippie to add to my ever growing collection. A lustre lipstick, it's in the shade Patisserie.

   I don't hear it mentioned enough  which is strange as it's a gorgeous neutral pink shade. I'm loving it so far.

While at MAC, I purchased the Mineralize Charged Water Skin Hydrating Mist from the Semi Precious. I've never tried the Fix+ spray so I snapped up this to try it out. While in town I also picked up the OPI Texas Lil Shooters Collection (not pictured above) which you can see here. After shopping for what felt like a age, we finshed off our trip by heading to Yo Sushi! were we had a lovely dinner.. Yummy!!

Tuesday As I wasnt working I spent the day studying  for my theory test and checking out college courses. I'm hoping to do Event Management in September but I haven't found a course yet that suits my schedule. I work weekday mornings so I have to do a Part-time course at night. Even though I'd probably much prefer to do a Full-time one. Who knew it was so hard to find a Part-time Event Management course...I most certainly didn't. I'm really looking forward to my theory test cause afterwards I'll be able to drive officially. I was given driving lessons for my 21st birthday way back in February which I haven't used yet. I'm really looking forward to taking them though even if I am quite nervous.

Friday I went to Hollister as it finally opened. It was so busy all day so I went down in the evening and it was like empty so I had a look around and I picked up some bits which you can check out here!. I really liked the shop and I love the layout and interior. While I was in Dundrum I also went to McCabes and picked up some goodies that were so inexpensive. I couldn't possibly leave without them.

 Saturday Enroute to picking up my nephew I popped into Boots in Liffey Valley. A while ago I was told that Stila was opening a stand instore. Of course I went in to look at the stand and left with more products which I hadn't planned on doing.You can check out what I purchase here. If you haven't been to Boots in Liffey Valley it's huge and has to be the biggest one I've ever seen.

 Sunday I was working 12 to 6. As I work in town I  go shopping alot which results in me spending money on little things which certainly adds up without me knowing, I arrived in a bit early so I went into Brown Thomas.  I spotted a new stand at MAC for their Sized To Go Collection. I wasn't expecting to see this instore as I heard it was just going into airports as they are travel sizes. I really like this collection as I think it's a good way to try out products and it's also handbag size.

I got the Fix+ spray (€9) and the Cleanse-Off Oil (€9) I can't wait to try these products out. I've heard such good things about the Cleanse-Off Oil so I have high expectations.

After work my boyfriend picked me up and we went to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
 I was so looking forward to seeing this movie and I wasn't left disappointed one bit. I really enjoyed it and most importantly it stayed true to the book. I don't want to say too much about the movie cause some of you may not have seen it yet. I was so sad to see it come to an end!! At least we have Twilight to look forward to.

I picked up this month's Marie Claire Magazine for the bus journey home. A Ciate lipgloss comes free with this issue and I love it so far. Inside the mag you also get a £10 voucher for the Ciate. That's not all on the lipgloss packaging there is also a promotional code for 15% off your total order when you shop online.If their lipgloss is anything to go by I will be picking up some more products!!

What did you girls get up to during your week??
