Hello everyone!

Today I want to share with you the absolute bargain of a freebie that's available in Glamour magazine this month!

Free Clinique Pop lipstick inside December 2015 issue of Glamour magazine ft. Tanya Burr!

With the December issue of Glamour which features Tanya Burr as the covergirl, you can get your hands on a free Clinique mini product.

There are four to choose from; 

- Pop Lip Colour + Primer in Cherry Pop
- Pop Lip Colour + Primer in Nude Pop
- High Impact Mascara
- Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion+

You should know by now that I can't resist a red lipstick so of course that's the one I chose!

My THOUGHTS

I only picked this up yesterday so I can't give an in depth review of the lipstick just yet but I can say that my first impressions are very, very good. It feels like a balm so it's extremely comfortable to wear and that's a deal breaker for me when it comes to a lipstick. The dinky size of it is not only adorable but actually makes it so easy to apply. I wish all lipsticks were this size! You still get a decent amount of product and seeing as the full size retails for £16, paying £2 for it with Glamour is not too shabby a deal!

As for the magazine itself, well, to be honest it just reminded me why I haven't bought a magazine in ages. Don't get my wrong, some of the articles & interviews were quite interesting to read (Dawn O'Porter - aka one of my favourite people - writes a column) but the bulk of it was adverts and product 'recommendations'. I use the term recommendations loosely because we all know why magazines have become less popular and blogs have sky rocketed. Actual opinions. Anyway, I won't delve too deeply into that subject right now! That aside, it was nice to take the time to flick through the glossy pages. I imagine this copy will sell very well what with the double whammy of the freebie & Tanya being on the cover so if you want it, you probably don't want to hang around too long!

Hello everyone!

I currently have a few beauty products which I'm just beginning to try and I thought you might like to read my first impressions on them.

Here are some mini reviews of the things I'm testing out at the minute!

Dr Paw Paw

I'd heard so many good things about this so when I was offered the chance to try it I said yes immediately! I can see why there's so much hype around it, it really is a brilliant multi-purpose product. Containing paw paw (papaya), it claims to soothe and moisturise lips, skin, cuticles as well as hair. I've also heard it can be used as a primer so I'm excited to try it out in that way! So far I'm loving it as a lip balm and to moisturise my nails. So softening.

The only thing I'm not so sure on is how much squeezing it takes to actually get out of the tube! That said, it might just be because I have the sample size. It usually comes in 25ml tubes which would make a great investment as a little goes a long way with this. It's definitely in a league of it's own when it comes to hydration!

Impulse True Love

I haven't used Impulse in years, what a throwback product! A good friend of mine recently gifted me this out of the blue and I'm so glad she did because it smells gorgeous. What with the two scent components being freesia & tangerine, it has both fruity and floral notes which I love. The scent is surprisingly long lasting & powerful for a body spray! Plus, it's cheap as chips so I don't feel that guilt that I'm wasting money as I sometimes can with expensive perfumes. I'd definitely consider trying more of these!

Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Topcoat

This came in my Coloristiq Manicure Box (review of that here!) and as soon as I saw it, I was pretty excited to give it a go. I never usually use a base coat but I'll definitely be using this from now on! So far I've tested it underneath China Glaze Daisy Know My Name? which is a neon yellow and I was a bit worried it might stain without a base. Luckily, Sally Hansen served me well! I'm keen to try it as a topcoat next.


So those are my first impressions! Get involved in the comments below and let me know if you'd like full reviews on these once I've tested them a bit more. Just say the word! 

Have you tried any of these?

Thanks for reading,
Maeve
