Graze - Box #3

I decided to order another food box from Graze, which I got for free, seeing as though you get your first box free, you pay for your second box and then the third is free. Here is what I received this time, in my third box...... Use this code for a FREE box:   3L3RDY3   (you must not already be a member to use this code) And a closer look at all four.... Cracked Black Pepper Cashews “Cashews roasted with cracked black pepper & sea salt” http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1008/nuts They smell like salt and pepper (lol). And they taste like salt and pepper peanuts and they are quite nice. Contains: Cashew nuts, Salt, Maltodextrin, Wheat flour, Sugar, Spices, Yeast extract, Lemon powder, Black pepper, Sunflower oil Korean Chilli Rice Crackers “Crunchy rice crackers with spicy chilli” http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1014/crackers They smell and taste like oriental spicy crisps. You get the kick of the chilli right at the end, w...

MAC Haul #1

I have always looked at MAC products but I never thought I would buy any seeing as though they are way over priced and there are better products in drug stores, but I relented on this occasion because of two factors. One I really wanted Rubenesque Paint Pot and Two the delivery charge was FREE for a short period of time, so I decided what the hell and took advantage of the offer! As you have probably already guessed I bought a Paint Pot in Rubenesque which was £13.50. Rubenesque is one of the most loved paint pots and it is a shiny peachy colour, my swatch picture really does not do it justice. I also bought a Tinted Lipglass in a Limited Edition colour called Good Times, which was £12.50. I was kind of suckered into buying this because I saw a swatch of it in one of Temptalia’s videos and I thought I just had to buy it, so I did. Good Times is a pale mauve pink colour and looks really light and milky, it is very pretty but not wearable on it’s own for me as it looks whit...

Graze - Box #2

I decided to order another food box from Graze, which I bought with my own money (£3.49). I also get my third box FREE so I may be sending off for that one soon. In the meantime, here’s what I received this time, in my second box......  Use this code for a FREE box: 3L3RDY3 (you must not already be a member to use this code) A closer look at all four food items.... The Fire Cracker “Chilli rice crackers, spicy peanuts & salsa corn sticks” http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1014/crackers The packet as a whole smells quite spicy and savoury. The chilli rice crackers smell quite spicy and you can only smell hints of chilli, which are not strong at all. They are also very spicy on your tongue but taste great, so I suggest maybe having a glass of water with you when you eat these. The spicy peanuts smell like the chilli rice crackers, apart from you get a slight nutty under scent. They taste a bit weird and powdery, the taste is not s...

EOTD #1

I thought I would post an Eye of the Day (EOTD) shot, the picture is not brilliant, but you kind of get the gist. As an eye primer/base I used Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin. In the inner corners of my eyes I am wearing a bit of Urban Decay Eyeshadow in URB and Too Faced Eyeshadow in Honeypot. On my eyelid I am wearing Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Half Baked. And in the crease I am wearing Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Smog and for the outer corners of my eyes I am wearing Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Twice Baked. For the top lash line I just have a bit of Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Twice Baked. And for the lower lash line I have Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Half Baked next to my inner corner colour and then in the middle I have Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Smog and then on my outer lower lash line I have Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Twice Baked. I also used two coats of Maybelline’s One by One Mascara in Black on my top and lower lashes. The Urban Decay Eyeshadow’s I used were from the Vegan Palette a...

Superdrug Haul #1

I went to Superdrug a couple of hours ago and bought a couple of things, hardly worth hauling I know, but I’ve just started blogging and it’s something to blog about. I originally went to Superdrug to buy two nail polishes by NYC because there was an offer on for 3 for 2 on that brand. Plus Barry M (I collect their nail paints) didn’t have two shades similar to the ones I was going to purchase. I was going to get NYC’s Quick Dry Polish in Lincoln Square Lavender and Long Wearing Polish in Starry Silver Glitter. And I also went to get a headband because I have an interview tomorrow and I want to do something different with my hair rather than leaving it just down, because it is thick and doesn’t stay straight and in place that long, so a headband would give it some depth and break it up a bit on my head, plus it makes me look even more mature. So back to what I actually bought from Superdrug, all of three items. I couldn’t find the two NYC polishes I was after, as they were s...

Graze - Box #1

Use this code for a FREE box: 3L3RDY3 (you must not already be a member to use this code)  http://www.graze.com/ Graze is a website where you can purchase a weekly snack box, which contains healthy treats, such as, nuts and crackers. I say weekly but you can order as many as you want a week, apart from boxes are not sent for or on Sundays. Also if you want the fresh bread you can only order from Tuesday to Saturday. You get four different food items in every box unless you state you want the same thing to be sent out again. The package came this morning in a biodegradable recycled board box. When you open the box there are four sections and each has a packet of healthy food samples. Underneath the sections there is a napkin. Each food comes in a small plastic box/packet, with a plastic film lid, which you peel to open. You also get a healthy food guide and some offer vouchers for your friends. All of the packaging is recyclable, so it is very earth friendly. I quite lik...
