Life ¦ Foodie fridays - Graze box

 

I've been wanting to try a graze box for forever and when I got a voucher code the other day I decided to go for it and order one. They usually cost £3.99 however with the voucher code this box cost me nothing.

 

Rough blend peanut butter with pretzel sticks

I liked this one but I think it was probably my least favourite out of the four I received. The peanut butter was really tasty and the pretzel sticks were nice and crunchy and had a good amount of salt on them.

 

Cherries and Berries

These were so delicious, they were the perfect mixture of sweet and sour. The cherries had a slight sourness to them and together with the sweet raisins complimented each other and it was the perfect fix for a sugar craving.

 

Billionaires' shortbread

This was definitely my favourite of the four, I wasn't sure about the combination of almonds, cranberries, chocolate and fudge but somehow it works. The cranberries were slightly tart which balanced out the sweet richness of the fudge and the chocolate.

 

Hickory smoked BBQ

This was the one I was most looking forward to however despite the fact I enjoyed it, they didn't quite live up to what I expected. They had a fairly subtle barbeque flavour but I found the corn kernels to have a slight burnt taste to them. I'd have much preferred this if it was just the cashews and the peas. Despite this for under 150 calories it was a nice snack.

 

Beauty ¦ Maybelline colour sensational shine glosses

I'm not usually a lip gloss person, the only lip glosses I don't hate are the Clarins instant light natural lip perfectors. However I'd read some good things about the Maybelline Colour sensational glosses so I decided to bite the bullet and give them a go. Now don't get me wrong I don't like them as much as the Clarins ones however I was pretty impressed.

 

They are a little bit sticky but no way near the levels that some drugstore glosses can be. The pigment of them is really lovely and they both add a wash of glossy colour. Glorious grapefruit is my favourite of the two shades, it's a peachy pink shade which looks lovely to add a slight bit of colour to bare lips or over a nude lipstick to make it a little more pink. Electric orange is a very bright true orange shade which looks amazing with a fairly minimal makeup as a little pop of colour. This one would be brilliant if you want to try an orange shade without going full on bright orange.

 



Neither of the shades have any shimmer in which is something I am really glad about as I find a lot of glosses can be far too glittery for my liking. The formula is lovely and creamy and they feel really hydrating and smooth on the lips. I find they wear for around 3 hours however electric orange leaves behind a light orangey tint on the lips. The glosses have a slight citrusy scent which I personally really like but if you aren't a big fan of scents in your lip products these probably aren't for you.

 

 

Overall I'd recommend these if you don't have the budget for the Clarins lip perfector however if you do I would definitely suggest those.

Lifestyle ¦ Cole goes to an actual ball (sort of)

 

So on Thursday night was my prom. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it all as now prom and my last day are over I've officially left school which feel weird. Today I thought i'd show you some of the pictures from the night. My dress is from Little mistress if anyone is wondering.

 

 

Beauty ¦ Best of - Lipsticks

 

Now if you're a regular reader over here you will know my obsession with lipsticks so today I thought I would show you my top five lipsticks of all time!

 

 

Bourjois Rouge edition Velvet - Pink pong

 

This is something I haven't had for a long time but it's something that has made it into my favourites very quickly. It has the most incredible shade and I absolutely love it for the summer. The formula is amazing and I definitely need to get some more shades from the range.

 

 

Charlotte Tilbury K.I.S.S.I.N.G - Bitch perfect

 

A peachy pink for me this is pretty much the perfect nude. The finish is a satin and the formula is creamy and moisturizing on the lips.

 

Seventeen Mirror shine - Beehive

 

This is a brilliant lipstick for those I don't want to wear much makeup lipstick days. It's so glossy and incredibly hydrating on the lips. Its possibly one of the most comfortable wearing lipsticks I've ever used however the lasting power isn't mind blowing due to the formula.

 

 

Mac - Rebel

 

How could I not include this lipstick. I wear this all year round however I do tend to reach for it more often in the winter. The satin formula means it's not drying like a matte however the lasting power is just as good.

 

Rimmel Kate moss - 107

 

This shade is so hyped in the blogging world and I completely get why it's the perfect mix of red and pink. Despite the matte formula it feels beautifully creamy on the lips. I also love other shades from this collection but this is definitely my favourite!
