Natural collection

Hi my lovelies this is just a quick post to show you my natural collection concealer,cover up, and lipstick. I have already tried out all these products so I can give you my honest opinion. Now I don't tend to wear foundation but concealer is something I always love to apply as I get a very red T-zone. I have tried a few concealers, I still haven't tried the collection 2000 one as I'm not sure if it's worth it. However I'm sure it's better than this one as I'm afraid this concealer doesn't provide much coverage, it's in the shade fair yet it had orange undertones. 

I'v never tried a green cover up stick but I really do enjoy this formula and I think it work well to combat redness, after application you apply concealer on top so that you don't look like an alien. The lipstick is such a gorgeous colour (cranberry) it's my new summer time fav! I'll be getting lots of use out of it as it brightens up my features. The staying power isn't too bad for the price and it doesn't leave any dewy texture on your lips after a long day.

All these products are from Boots at £1.99 each, and 3 for £5. It's not a popular brand but if you need some on the go/travel makeup for summer than it does the job nicely.

Speak to you soon! xx

Graze

My discovery of graze was when I saw someone on instagram post a code for a free box. Well being one for healthy food and since I'v been trying to tone my body it caught my attention. When I visited the website I was overhelmed with the amount of snacks they had to choose from. I found out that you can get a regular subscription but you can cancel any time (even after your free box). The box it comes in is biodegradable and they give you biodegradable leaflets telling you about their business and what you have in your box (as well as expiry dates). There is also a little napkin provided, basically they give you everything you need to be happy.

You can go throught the list of snack and choose which is to your fancy and which you'd wish for them to never send you. So for me I searched chili and clicked 'bin' for all in that category as I'm not a fan of spices. The next part was easy just enter your details and they give you an estimated arrival time. The boxes are made to fit through your letterbox, but be careful as mien is oval so I had to pick up my box from the post office. To avoid this you can pick your delivery date.
So far I'm very pleased and will not be cancelling, I think it's perfect for revision season so that I snack less on chocolate. I think I'll keep it up for the following years between the months of January-June.

What I'v tried so far:
Scrumptious Blueberry Swirl: This is super lovely and sweet. It has bluebeery yogurt raising,rasperry cranberries and blackcurrent. To me the dried blackcurrants taste likt the sweet Black Jack and the red one like the sweet Tutti fruitti. The yogurt raisins are quite nice but I'm more of a chocolate raisin girl myself. But to provide a nice alternative to nuts, breadsticks and savoury foods this is perfect.

The British Barbecue: I love the rosemary croutons in this, so delish. The seeds had a lot of flavour and a hint of spice (but not hot). The basil breadsticks were also a lovely addition, nice and savoury. Great if your not looking for a toothache.

Billionaires shortbread: Fudge,almonds,chocolate buttons and cranberries; what a combination! The almonds are without skins and are a great source of vitamin E. The berries add to the chocolates sweet flavour, and the rest is all a bit 'naughty'. 

Apple and cinnamon flapjack: Mmmmm these taste so good at my school they have greasy oily plain flapjacks in comparison these taste like they were made in the clouds. Compact bites with a burst of apple and touch of cinnamon entwined with oats, so lovely. I usually put both these flavours in porridge so it's like my porridge in a bar.

If you want to get your free box, use the code P4JTYWT

Exams Exams Exams

Things have been so hectic recently, it's crazy! My fellow year 11's out there will understand how I feel. Basically revision has been like a tidal wave especially since my school decided to not give us study leave!!! So unfair as many other schools left 2 weeks ago, it sucks but I always said I would take my own study leave one way or another....
Yeah so I didn't go to school today, I have 3 free periods so what was the point? I had so much to catch up on. I normally have 100% attendance so mi madre wasn't best pleased to say the least (eeep save me!) but I'v isolated myself in my room so I can finally get a good chunk of work done. On Monday I had an RS exam, Tuesday a Biology exam (so unbelievably hard-B3) and tomorrow I have my Spanish reading and listening exams.
Berry/cranberry juice smoothie
To be honest I'm finding it really hard to keep calm and can't wait for it to be over. On the plus side I have been exercising as I have prom to look forward to!! Also I got my first penpal from Singapore which is aweesomme.

What do you do to relax?
