Glamour Fast Beauty App

I'm always looking for new apps to try out when I'm bored and I thought I'd share one of the beauty related apps I found since we all have that interest in common. Many magazines have realised apps and this one is from Glamour. I think it's been out for a while but I've only had it for a few weeks and best of all it was free!






The first section of the app is 'Get the Look'. As the name suggests, it gives you tips and tricks on creating classic looks such as the red lip and smokey eyes. Each look has a short video which takes you through what to do and what products to use. As someone who loves watching make up tutorials on YouTube, I have loved browsing through the videos.










'Update your look' is the next section of the app. It gives you a step-by-step guide on achieving trends such as  'The Coral Lip' and suggests different products that would be perfect to use.








You can then add the products suggested  in the how to guides to your wishlist. I've found this to be a good way to create myself a little shopping list for the next time I'm in Boots or Superdrug. The picture help so you know what to look out for and it gives you a price so you know what you can expect to pay. When it's added to your wishlist you can also click 'purchase' which will take you to a website where you can buy the product if you want to get it online. 



What are your favourite beauty apps?

Thanks for reading.

Percy & Reed in Glamour

Hello! So I have a wonderful 4 days off work thanks to the Easter bank holidays so on my way home yesterday I decided to treat myself to a magazine. There's not one magazine I'm subscribed to or have to purchase every time a new issue comes out. I'll just randomly decide to pick one up and my decision of which one to get is usually based on which one I think has the best free gift that month. This time I decided to go for Glamour as it comes with a free Percy & Reed hair product.


There are 4 Percy & Reed gifts to choose from including:
  • Shampoo
  • Conditioner 
  • Finishing Polish
  • Volumising Oil

I picked Glamour up at my local Sainsbury's and there was only a few copies left. The leftover copies had either the Conditioner or the Volumising Oil as the free gift so I went for the "Smoothed, Sealed & Sensational Volumising No Oil Oil (for fine hair)" (Wow, catchy name...)


According to the Percy & Reed website, the full size version of this product (60ml) is £14 so I think it's a pretty good deal to get a 30ml sample free in a £2 magazine. Personally, I've never tried any Percy & Reed products and I'm always looking for ways to give my hair a little boost so I'm looking forward to giving this a go (it also smells great).

Have you ever tried any Percy & Reed hair products?

Thanks for reading.
