I know that everyone is doing 'Summary' posts at the moment but this one is going to be a bit different. I'm going to do a Friday Summary every single week and it's going to include a little summary of my week but most importantly I'm going to include the press releases and information that I have been sent throughout that week. This is also going to include any discount offers, promotions etc that I know about so I do hope that the Friday Summary will always include at least one thing that interests you!
I get sent lots of press releases from companies, brands, and girls who I really get on with but I always hesitate to just whack them straight onto my blog. It's boring, people scroll past them (I know I sure as hell do) and, well, I'm going to steal a twitter quote from Nicola here:
- I believe she sums it up pretty well!
But hopefully by condensing them all into one post, and including the press release and offers that I feel are GENUINELY interesting and worthwhile then I will retain a sense of personality about my posts and I will be sharing all the information I receive throughout the week with my lovely readers!
-All dressings are finally off the boobs! Yay!
-Leave two weeks TODAY for New York, Miami and Orlando!
- Pictures above are from a night out at 'Tiger Tiger' with my friend Ally.
-Found out I'll be working next week at the Excel in London as a hostess!
-Started going to the gym and eating healthier in preparation for the beach.
-Saw 'Just go with it' (so-so) & 'No Strings Attached' (MARRY ME ASHTON.)

Megan Fox for Armani
Find out how to recreate Megan's look...
"The signature red, Rouge d'Armani 400 and Luminous Silk Foundation N° 2 add smoulder to Megan Fox's porcelain skin, explains Linda Cantello, Giorgio Armani International Makeup Artist, the talent behind Megan Fox’s fascinating look. The laser cool blue of her eyes is accentuated by the modern smokiness of mixing two shades of eyes to kill intense eyeshadows (N° 2 and N°11). Finished with eyes to kill excess mascara (N°1). Her look is drop dead seduction."

I am sharing the codes and information with you because I love these three brands, I love their products and I want you to know about them!

thank you for this post and for your honesty, glad to know your boobs are doing well (that sounds funny but you know what i mean lol) x
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about press releases.
ReplyDeleteThe same stuff regurgitated, not cool!
So jealous your going to America,
hope you have an abfab time.

I really like the sound of this new addition - and I know what you mean, blogs where there is nothing but press releases give alot of bloggers a bad name :)
ReplyDeleteyou hair looks gorgoeus by the way!! x
Love the new Friday Posts!
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of using this post to share press releases and new products, really quite refreshing to see it all straightforward as opposed to with huge chunks of "review" haha (: So jealous of your upcoming travels Jen! xxx
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of a Friday summary with the best offers you've come across! Your hair looks stunning btw, very jealous of you travels the weather will be lush! x x
ReplyDeleteI agree with the quote. I like to see the press releases, but I like to read blogs that have a personal touch and original content. I like the way you did this post. Also I'm bummed about the Illamasqua deal ending on March 9...the new line comes out March 10 :( I guess they did that deliberately though.
ReplyDeleteThat quote sums up my thoughts exactly. Love the hair, thanks for the link to the tutorials as well, I need to get that Babyliss conical wand!
ReplyDeleteI like this idea! It really annoys me when blogs are filled with discount codes and stuff for websites they've probably never even used before, just because they've got offered free stuff from there.
ReplyDeletelovely post! very jealous that your off to america!! xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.... great idea, I like it. One little problem though, the Phil Smith code is not working :(
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely :) jealous your off on travels soon! :) Like the sound of the sea salt hair spray- Beach hair is always a winner in my eyes! x
ReplyDeletePress release after press release which i see on a LOT of blogs "consistently" is boring, i for one only have a handful and only choose those which brand/product i genuinely like, no point otherwise. Each to their own though, i haven't got a problem with anyone who does this, let them be.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I recognise you from my sisters fb ;).

Great idea for a post! i hate blogs which are purely 'announcing' new products..no reviews/opinions etc! only 2 weeks til u head off to the USA..how exciting!!!xx
ReplyDeleteHaha totally agree with Nicola's quote I cant stand product whores, they irritate me! Cant believe I didnt spot you at Excel as I did Pro-Beauty but then again I was totally rushed off my feet as Im sure you were too! xx :o)
