Freebies Ahoy xx

Hey my loves I now you've probably already seen a zillion posts on this already, but the September issues of some of our favourite magazines are packed to the brim full of freebies. Me and Mummy Lou headed to the Asda superstore this morning where I managed to pick up 3 magazine (I only paid for one though tee hee thanks mum). I'd already tried my local Tesco but so many of the freebies were missing or had been stolen it was untrue. Anyways from just 3 magazines I got this little lot and a pile of sachets including perfume, shower gels and body lotions

Marie Claire this month features a free Ciate Paint Pot Nail Polish, I got the nude shade My Fair Lady, and it also came with a 50ml tube of Dove Intensive Repair Express Treatment Hair Conditioner, I first got a tube of this free with an ASOS order and I have to say it's really good and it smells gorgeous

The Semptember issue of Elle as you'll probably already know comes with a free exclusive Mavala nail polish in the choice of three colour red, grey and the orange that I got :)

Finally I got Red magazine - I like Red it has a more grown up feel and a wide variety of article - this month's has a free 125ml sized Balance Me Body Wash , there are two varieties to choose from and I went for was Rose Otto, which has a lovely natural rose scent

They were the ones that I got but there are plenty more magazine freebies to be had this month, Cosmopolitan has free false eyelashes and Tatler has free Rigby and Peller knickers!!! This seems to be the month for freebies next month doesn't seem to be half as exciting still Red does appear to have a free novel so I'll be picking up that to read on the beach.
As well as 2 magazine Mummy Lou also picked me up a few bits including the infamous Goody Spin Pins, and a George lipgloss, and she also ordered me some clothes from Boohoo  reviews and pics to of these to com x  and of course you can expect to see the nail polishes featuring in some nails of the day soon, Any questions please leave me a comment I love hearing from your guys xx

Small Town Haulage and Goodies From 2 Lovely Ladies

Hey my beauties :) I know I gave you a haul this morning but you may have already noticed from my sidebar that I have already made a few purchases in June - Whoops!
This afternoon I popped to one of my local towns to pick up a few things for one of my besties birthday pressie and yes I picked up a few bits for me :) First up Superdrug - I picked up the other Accessorize £1.99 eyeshadow trio packs.

First up 21 - Iris a gorgeous shimmer lilac, a little bit darker than it's looking here

It also contained 4- Platinum - a gorgeous shimmery silver /grey

and finally 5 - Mermaid a gorgeous turquoise / teal shade

Swatches - again they are super soft and pigmented - I really recommend these especially for just £1.99

Next up a few Beauty UK items :) I haven't included any swatches at the moment because these products will all be included in my Beauty UK post from my upcoming Budget Beauty Series.
First up a nail polish - I haven't managed to capture the colour very well here so it's a work in progress - it's No.45 Turquoise Shim -which describes it pretty well - it's darker and more shimmery than it's looking here

Next a lipstick this is a bit of a departure for me but the times they are a changing - this is 10 Passion a gorgeous juicy blue based red

Finally I got a baked eyeshadow trio in Earth a lovely neutral palette

I also popped to Boyes and picked up a few stationery bits, and another LA Colors nail polish, this time in a shimmery aqua, blue called Radiation

I also bought a few magazine Elle with a free Reiss vest top which was tiny!! and Red which had a choice of 3 Jemma Kidd Lipglosses free. They had a nude peach, a red, and the colour I chose 15 Coral - Again not a typical LouLou colour but I'm really fancying a change - it really is a super hot coral.

So that was my little haul I also got a couple of parcels that were paid for in May x - first up a lipstick from the lovely Charlotte's blog sale - It's the Fearne Cotton lipstick from the hatbox collection

I got one for my birthday and really liked it and when I saw Charlotte was selling it I had to have it - it's a love peach /pink nude :) - Please check out Charlotte's blog if you haven't already she is lovely girls and she sent me such a sweet note with the lipstick too :)

I also got a lovely little parcel from the lovely Sinead at Dainty Dollymix from her Jewellery site -packaged in a cute little chiffon bag with sequins and sparkles her jewellery makes a lovely gift, I discarded mine before I took the pics I was that desperate to get this on my finger

It's such a pretty adjustable shell ring - it was only £3.00 and she has 8 designs to choose from I am definitely considering another one :) Thanks Sinead xx
So that was another bit of haulage eek I am still waiting for my NARS - thanks ASOS rolls eyes :( but other than that I'm pretty much done - rather scarily I am already over £20 down for June I must try harder - Any questions please let me know xx``

Magazine Freebies and A Rant :)

OK you've probably read a billion and one posts like this over the last few days but never mind I just want to make you all aware of some fabulous freebies with your UK magazine. As well as super bags in InStyle and Elle this month, you can also get a free Jemma Kidd lipgloss in Red magazine and these fabulous bits - that your probably sick of hearing about lol
Glamour magazine is giving away a free Benefit pencil in July's issue - you can chose from the "It Stick" concealer, "eye bright" eye brightener, and "Bad Gal" black eyeliner pencil - I of course got all 3 but it's not bad when you consider that each magazine is only £2 and the combined cost of the freebies is over £45 - bargain!
I also picked up another copy of Marie Claire - At the moment I am majorly hacked off - I subscribe to Marie Claire and yesterday my issue came but half the pages were ripped and unreadable:( and as per usual subscription issues don't come with free gifts! I have sent an email complaining but as yet I've had no response - come on Marie Claire IPC Media get your fingers out grrr. Anyway I ended up buying another copy to read and to get the free gift which is a free 100ml bottle of Cowshed bath and shower gel - there were several to choose from so I chose Knackered Cow - Relaxing - with lavender and eucalyptus - yum!
So lots of goodies out there for you UK readers this month - oh and if you get Cosmopolitan this month there is a free novel and inside there is a little twitter quote from me on the cosmo woman - I'm famous lol

Edited to add - I've had a response from Marie Claire - they are adding another issue to my subscription - better than nothing I suppose....

More Pre Spending Ban Purchases

Sorry for the pretty bad photos as per usual but my necklaces came -sorry they aren't too clear, and my earrings but they seem to have sent me a coral orange pair instead of the creamy white I ordered. I wasn't sure about them initially but they are really growing on me, they look lovely and summery and coral is right on trend for this season a definite keeper :)


I also got my super metallic reddy, orange havaianas from Powder Rooms Havaianas are probably the comfiest flip flops known to humanity I have quite a few pairs (erm about 10 :) )in all sorts of different colours - they are really fab. I tend to buy mine from Powder Rooms, the owner Soraya has really good prices and really good selection of colours and styles, including children's. Her shop sells some really quirky fashion, home, and beauty goodies, including brands such as Lola Rose, Ciate (the pic also features a Ciate cuticle oil pen ;) ), Billy Bag and Kings and Queens. Everything is always beautifully wrapped in tissue, and you usually get some Powder Rooms candy rock sweeties. Highly recommended and well worth a look :)

I also made my first purchase of the month today - £2.00 on Red magazine in Tesco (£3.50 if bought anywhere else this month)It also came with a free cute Cowshead Make Up Bag (also pictured)which is available in black and also in white :) - Fab - only £28 left to spend this month -argh!!!!
