Love L'Octaine

So the best place to find new products to try out? The magazine isle at the supermarket.

Seriously? ... SERIOUSLY. You get to read a somewhat fashionable magazine, whilst trying out a product for free. Some of the higher branded magazines have larger sample sizes and better brands included as a gift. But if you're looking for a new nail polish brand last month Orly Polish was a gift with I believe Elle magazine, and Instyle Mag were giving away free two L'Octaine Provence products, a Shampoo and a Conditioner.

So here we are. A magazine section at Tesco later. Two L'Octaine en Provence bottles in hand, and a love affair has started.

Back in April I had a 16"pony tail of hair cut off in the name of charity. Since then I've been growing out my pixie crop, and its gotten down to my shoulders. But I have struggled in keeping my hair in good condition. I always find at a certain length when my hands are running through my hair more, I find that my hair becomes more oily, and responds less well to my usual shampoos such as Pantene, Alberto Balsam, and Cien. As my hair grew I found myself washing my hair more often, which is actually bad for the hair, as it strips your hair of the natural oils in it. So I was doing my hair no justice. Its a battle. A battle for glossy tresses.

But when I saw L'Octaine en Provence I HAD to try it. For one it was free, and secondly it was with Instyle Mag which I've never read before. Perfect excuse to spend £2.50 I think.

I have used the Shampoo twice now, (I tend to only condition my hair once a week, otherwise it weighs my hair down.) It is packed full of essential oils, which I thought would only make my hair more oily. But in fact it has worked well for me. My hair feels lighter, bouncier, and more nourished than before. I think it'll also help in trying to wash my hair less.

It smells divine too, which of course is very important. It smells like pouring Ian Snows onto your head, or walking into spa and the smell you experience after a massage, with all that essential oil, and incense. Its a calming scent that feels like you're lapping your hair in luxurious liquid.

I hope this review has encouraged you to scout out the supermarkets for your next favourite product!

Thank You Ciate!

God bless Ciate and Marie Claire.

For with this months Issue of Marie Claire, you can get your hands on a mini Nail Art set from Ciate!

A mini bottle of polish and a mini bottle of nail caviar, to get all creative and nail-art-y with. There are 6 colour palettes to choose from and for £2.25 for the magazine it is a STEAL. I don't ordinarily buy in Marie Claire, but saw the Ciate polish and ripped that magazine so fast off of the shelf that muscles were pulled!

The 6 variations ordinarily would set you back a 60 squid. So its a super bargain! Ciate have been growing in popularity lately for their beautifully chic packaging and elegant choices in colours. Plus their nail caviar has become somewhat famous!

So why are you still reading this post? You should be out getting your hands on a Marie Claire and your mittens on that polish!

I try to keep an eye out for bargains such as these, so enjoy buying multiple copies of the same magazine! I say keep the polish for yourself and give a friend the magazine to read.

FREE Bobbi Brown Kajal Eyeliner

YES FREE.

Okay so every now and again I google FREE STUFF - just out of curiosity if anything as in the past I've gotten some cute things by just filling out a survey.

Through that google search I stumbled across this gorgeous website. 'What's in My Handbag' - A site that has beauty experts telling and sharing of new products they like etc... Also it gives you a chance to sign up FOR FREE and receive products to test and try out.

Which frankly I think is great! Because it encourages bloggers to sign up - share their URL and they send you products to try and because it encourages bloggers to use it, they get that product reviewed and those reviews out on the internet for all to read.

You don't have to be a blogger to sign up - and sign up is completely free. I am so far very impressed with the site, and can't wait to receive my Bobbi Brown (first ever Bobbi Brown product) in the post soon to try out and review!

Once signed up you have your very own 'Beauty Cabinet' which is a place where you can store your 'haves' and 'wants' whilst surfing through the site and reading about products - you can click on the products you are lusting after and those that you already possess. This allows you to share your Beauty Cabinet with friends so if they are longing to know what products you use they can find them there, and find comments and reviews from people who have tried and tested the products themselves.

I've got a special little link here that if you click on will take you to get your very own free Bobbi Brown eyeliner.

So what are you waiting for - sign up and get FREE THINGS!

NAIL POLISH GIVEAWAY - Facebook

Sooo...

Instead of bombarding my Facebook friends with all my nail related updates, I thought it would make sense to start a Facebook page for NailsatNoon that way all you lovely readers have somewhere to follow when new posts are coming. And have somewhere to discuss things easily.

Also I plan to hopefully get some tutorials going on Youtube so you can learn how to re-create some of my looks.

In the spirit of giving back to you wonderful people, I thought I would do a giveaway - a chance for you to win all the Polishes used in my MOST viewed post - 'Purple Passion'. Its £18 worth of polishes. And you could WIN THEM ALL!

How exciting.

So all you have to do is head over to my Facebook page, LIKE the page, and comment on the giveaway Status. Once I reach 100 likes then I will announce a winner! :)

Goodluck and get Liking!
