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??

Percy & Reed No Fuss Fabulousness Dry Shampoo

Dry Shampoos aren't usually my thing at all. I've used some in the past that I've liked for a while, but they had the most overpowering scents which I can't stand. There were times that I'd spray them in my room and ended up opening the windows as the scents really get to me.  For festivals and camping, I think there great but if I have the time to wash my hair, I would do just that. Every second day I wash my hair, it's rare that it will last until the third day.

Recently I was sent some Percy & Reed products to try, No-Fuss Fabulousness Dry Shampoo (£12/€14.50) was one of them. Firstly this smells really nice, it has a light but fresh scent which is not overpowering at all. I find most of their range smells like this. Their dry shampoo is said to contain a' unique formulation that soaks up excess oil, leaving your hair looking fresh, shiny and shimmering'. I can't say it left my hair shimmering but it certainly felt fresh and looked shiny, I could see my hair lasting an extra day if needs be. When I brushed this out, it didn't leave my dark hair looking at all ashy which seemed to happen alot with prior dry shampoos I've used. This product is also great for adding volume to my hair as mine is always flat once I straighten it. This gives my gruaig a much needed boost. There is one minor problem I have and that's not with the dry shampoo, but with the packaging. When sprayed into my hair, the product itself seems to gather alot around the nozzle which could end up getting clogged. I don't see this being much of an issue though, as it doesn't take away from the product at all.

Percy & Reed have a great Youtube channel, where Paul and Adam create different hair looks using their range of products. I've learned so many tips from watching them. Also in this month's issue of Glamour magazine, there's a Percy & Reed treat included in the magazine. There are four 100ml products to choose from, a Moisturising shampoo, a Moisturising conditioner, a TLC mask or a finishing polish. I have my eye on the Quite Frankly Flawless Finising Polish. If you want to see more products that Percy & Reed have to offer, check out their website.
