Scrummy Snacks!

 Whoever said healthy food doesn't taste good was wrong, so very wrong. I know the majority of us reach for our favourite snacks in between meals to keep the hunger at bay, however this can be seriously unhealthy for your body, especially if its full of artificial sugars and such like. However your mid-morning snack can be super healthy now because of the Nakd bars!

Nakd bars are basically fruit and nuts squished together, which sounds very gross. Whereas actually they are so yummy, and pretty much the best snack out there for you. I have taken snaps of some of my favourites- Cocoa Orange (like chocolate orange!), Cocoa crunch, Banana bread and Banana crunch. The Cocoa ones are very popular and pretty much nearly always sold out! 

I think these would also be great post/pre workout to give you that boost of energy you need.

Have you had a Nakd bar? Do you prefer them to other snacks?

Collection Eye-shadow Pencil

This post was due about a month ago, but this product was put to the back of my mind, assuming that i reviewed it. Honestly, i am so dippy sometimes you wouldn't believe. This is the Collection Eye-shadow Pencil which is £3.19 from Boots.

Firstly, I love the whole concept of this idea. The whole quick, in a rush, whack it on and go. As the packaging goes, its simple but intriguing for sure. I chose the colour Hot Chocolate, a deep brown, perfect for the natural smoky eye. 

 The amount of product is appalling to be honest. The top is all you get, you can't roll it up any more, this was really disappointing as the product itself is good. 

This eye-shadow stick is very pigmented and has a lovely colour. Also it blends very easily for the perfect smoky eye, as i mentioned before, gosh i am totally obsessed with the smoky eye!

I might do a blog post showing you how i apply this, comment if you want me to!

 As you can see from the swatch below it is very pigmented, creamy and packed with colour!

Christmas Essentials #8DaysToGo

 8 Days until Christmas, now to the 24th of December is when those last minute shoppers rush around all the stores, pushing everyone out the way to get their choice.

Anway i am writng my Christmas Essentials, these are my personal opinion but if you have any different comment below and tell me!

First is this Jenny Colgan book, Christmas at the Cupcake Cafe. To be fair i did read this late November and fell in love with it. It you are into all that lovey-dovey thing this is so a book for you.

A onsie, at home i wear nothing else. They are so comfy, it is a bit of effort to pee as you have to unzip it all and you are naked on the loo. Aside from that these are great, definitely a recommendation from me. This particular one is from New Look and is super comfy.

 The Red dress, Christmas is the only occasion where you can wear the same red dress to everything and no one cares. Atrocious i know, but it is an all round wearable dress. This is another one from New Look and is definitely great. Also is comes with a jewelled collar, so no need for a necklace. Genius.

Last but certainly not least is the Cadbury's Hot Chocolate, this is my evening saviour in Winter. However you cannot forget the marshmallows otherwise it just isn't as good.

Those are all my winter essentials, what are yours?

May Favourites!

I know i am a tad late on doing this but i have some amazing products that i have loved this month so i really wanted to share them with you! (Also i have a cheeky book in my favourites assortment aswell)

1. Hoola Bronzer - £23.00
As some of you may know, who live in England, there has been spurts of sun throughout the month of May. Unfortunately i was not lucky enough to get that sunkissed look on my face, but this bronzer definitely made it look like i did. I just gently brushed this over my cheekbones and forhead giving me that beautiful sunkissed look. Obviously you can build it up, but whenever i attempted to build it, it looked like someone had smeared mud on my face?!

2. Clinique Chubby Stick - Mega melon - £16
I have nearly used this up as i have been wearing it everyday this month! I love it, it's moisturising with long lasting colour. I am very fussy what i put on my lips, it has to be moisturising or i don't like it, so this was wonderfully moisturising. Definitely going to repurchase this product.

3.Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks - Pale Pink - £18.00
Again, great shade for summer/spring as it adds light colour to your lips and cheeks! I love to pair this with my Rimmel nude lipstick, it just makes my lips look naturally pink and pretty. On my cheeks i only apply a little on the apples of my cheeks to give me a healthy glow.

4. Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. £8.99
I have done a review on this, so don't need to go into too much detail why i love it! Just it is amazing in sunlight, a light foundation. Also its gives a sparkly effect making you glow in the light!

5. Chocolate Wishes - Trina Ashley £6.99
My last item is a book this is such a fun easy read! Perfect for the holidays in the sun, where you do nothing but lie on a deck chair all day! Sadly this holiday i have been revising for exams, but when i wasn't this took my mind off everything, just great fun! If you love girly romantic/comedy type books, pop into tesco or local bookshop and purchase this!
