Late night 60's/Rockabilly attempt!

I didn't fancy putting my hair in the usual flexi rods/flexi rollers so I decided to put it in pin curls! I searched YouTube and found some great tutorials.

 I tied my hair down with a scarf as I always do before sleeping and noticed one of the curls was peeking out of the front which I thought looked pretty cool so I decided to take a few snaps, one thing led to another and the lipstick, eye liner and concealer came out haha! Bare in mind this was before bed LOL.

                                               Eye liner: BYS Black Magic gel eye liner pot

                                               Lipstick: Luoys 2 in 1 Lip gloss and Lipstick

                                              Concealer: Revlon Beyond Natural Concealer & Highlight

Like my curtains? haha

My first Graze Box!

It came! Yay!

I've been eyeing up these little boxes on peoples posts and on adverts for a longgg time so when they started their first box free initiative I jumped at the chance (Hey who doesn't love a freebie!)

Basically you log on to Graze.com and fill in your details then they show you a list of snacks they provide, from porridge to chocolate brownies! (you can also choose from the really healthy options).

You state which ones you like, love and would not like to have in the boxes that get sent to you so you have a better chance of getting the yummy snacks you like!

I ordered mine on Sunday and it arrived today (Wednesday) and they would be every Wednesday unless I choose to cancel,

Here's what arrived!

Inside also was a guide to each sections calories and it also came with some vouchers to give to friends!

Box 1 Copacabana: My faveee! Dark & Milk chocolate buttons & Brazil nuts! Nom!

Box 2 Cookies & Cream: Not bad! Mini chocolate cookies, white chocolate buttons and sunflower seeds..loving the chocolate buttons theme lool the seeds were a bit random though

Box 3 Nacho Libre: Salsa Almonds, Cheesy Sombreros(biscuits), jumbo chilli corn....yummy! nice and fiery

Box 4 Salsa Fresca: Tomato Salsa Fresca with Cheesy Sombreros (biscuits) second fave! The dip was lovely

Have you tried any of the Graze boxes? How did you find them and what did you get?

God Bless

Summer Ball OOTN!

Most uni's have a Summer Ball and my one is no different! It is every year in June and is a lot of fun. The uni gets famous acts to come and perform and they also have things like bumper cars, food, DJ's etc!

This year our headline act was Wiley but we also had The Hoosiers among others!

I wanted to buy a new dress instead of wearing an old one and here is the one that came to mind.....

It's the Topshop fringe dress by Rare London! It comes in a variety of colours such as pinks and creams but I had my heart set on this one!

Also seen on Leigh-Ann Pinnock from the band Little Mix
(All rights reserved)

I've seen this dress range from £65.00 down to £25 and I managed to get mine for £20 from Ebay! Woohoo! (Someone bidded £8 for it but I told the seller I'd buy for £20 haha!)

Here's how it looked..

(Excuse the excessive posing lol!!) 

It is a decent length dress but as you walk it rides up which is why it looks so short in the last picture haha, the bust was slightly big so there was some pulling up involved (pulling up the dress and pulling it down...imagine! lol) but besides that I loved it and received lots of lovely compliments!

Hope you enjoyed this post!

God Bless

Food glorious food! - Soup edition

Different from what I usually post but I feel like a proud parent with the soup I just made for lunch haha! So.Yummy...

I bought a great Tomato & Basil soup from Tesco the other day and thought I would try and make my own version to use up some of the tinned tomato I have lying about and it tastes just as delicious!


Nays Tomato & Basil soup!

Ingredients

• 1 tin of peeled tomatoes (Chopped will do too! or even normal tomatoes boiled down)
• Small amount of chopped ginger (You will notice my measurements are rather vague, I usually just dash & dash as my mum would call it haha!)
• A couple shakes of dried Basil (Fresh is great too)
• Tablespoon of Mango Chutney (Random but WORKS! Adds great flavour)
• Anything to garnish (I used a bit of Rocket)
• Some gorgeous wholemeal crusty bread to dip in

Blend the tinned tomatoes with the basil, ginger, and mango chutney then put in a saucepan on the stove to boil.

Serve in a bowl with the bread on the side and ENJOY!

God Bless

Boots No7 Stay Perfect Foundation!

I recently went to MAC to take a look at some foundation and I found the most gorgeous shade that matched my skin, the coverage was great and everything was perfect....except the price lol. I'm sure one day I'll buy it but I couldn't stretch to that much at the time..so I was on the hunt for something similar!

I remembered that No7 do some great foundations so I headed there and I purchased the first one I picked up!

It's No7 Stay Perfect Foundation which has SPF 15 (always a win!) and is supposed to last all day through till night! (16 hours) and claims that it's rub resistant and non fading! Double win! (I touch my face a lot...bad I know)

Well I was sold! So I decided to buy it! And it was £14, not a bad price.

I love it! It has great coverage, gives a slightly matte finish which I love but I would suggest moisturising your face well before applying!


Here's how it looked on my hand...

Before (clean face)

During lol!

And after!

Pretty pleased! 

What are you're favourite brands for foundations?

End of exams present...to me!

As the title suggests I bought myself some nail varnish to motivate/cheer me up in exam season! Only problem is I kiiiinda bought them before my exam instead of as a reward afterwards...oh well haha!

I looked on the interweb and found some cute polishes from Miss Sporty! I used to think of them as not very good quality and I haven't bought any from them since I was a lot younger but their new lines of polishes look gorgeous! I took myself down to Superdrug where they are currently selling them 3 for 2 (Woop Woop!) and here are the colours I chose...

Tangerine, glitter and a gorgeous Teal blue!

The pictures do not do the colours justice! They are so pretty! They also are extremely quick drying (minus the glitter one which takes slightly longer) and they have a wide brush which makes for an easy application!

Tangerine & Glitter lovely spring colour!

Once again these swatches really don't do the colours justice! 

Check out the Miss Sporty range online and in shops such as Boots and Superdrug...at only £1.99 each you cannot go wrong! 

I Might have to collect them all! haha

God Bless

Body Shop & Boots!

Last Thursday was Student Shopping Night in Canterbury...woohoo!! It's a night that takes place every few terms where shops stay open till 9 instead of 5:30/6 and they have discounts from 10% right up to 30% and Body Shop had 30% off! Woohoo! They also had DJ's, food, fire displays and goodie bags! So cool!

I was surprised that I only bought two items the whole night but I suppose my purse is happy about that haha

This first thing I bought was one of Body Shops famous body butters! I was stuck between this Shea butter one because it felt amazing and a Mango one because it smelt amazing but I decided on Shea because it is literally so creamy! 

I had to get something Mango-ey because it smelt incredible so I copied my friend and bought some Mango Body Mist! It smells insanely good but doesn't linger for as long as I would like.

Body Shop were also giving out 10% discount cards for throughout the year which would normally cost £5 so a few days later I went back and bought some Mango lip butter! (I reckon you can guess my favourite Body Shop fragrance haha) 

 I was intrigued because I can sometimes have quite dry lips and I thought a butter may be more moisturising and I was correct! The only problem is it can leave a funny taste if you're prone to licking your lips like me.

Boots were doing discounts of 10% at the Student Shopping Night but when I don't take my time to look through items I can hardly ever find things :( So I went back a few days later when it was less busy and even though I didn't get the 10% off I still picked up a bargain! 

This cute pot was around £2.50 and is a sweet smelling body scrub! I love looking at the Soap and Glory line but I never buy anything so I was excited to pick this up! First of many! 

Have you tried these products or bought anything recently?

God Bless
