Elf conealer pen and brush

Hi everyone, I was going through my makeup and throwing lots out as there was so much I didn't use anymore or hadn't for an awfully long time!
I was testing old products that I hadn't maybe tried properly in the past and found a little gem!


It is exactly as described in the title, it's a pen (with a sharpner in the lid) on one end and a brush on the other end.

What suprised me about it was the coverage it gave.  I popped it straight in my handbag and am using it for touchups on the go as it's fab.

The brush is fairly firm but still very smooth feeling and to have the concealer, brush and sharpner on the pen is amazing.

It is still on the ELF website priced at £3.75 (I'm sure I got it in the mega 50% sales they used to do) and I feel it is well worth the price.

What little gems have you rediscovered recently?

What's in a Graze box?

Hi everyone, I really want to write a blog post on why I vanished for the summer so I'm only going to appologise and hope you will bear with me while I get back on track!

I recently subscribed to the Graze box service after toying with the idea for a while and now I have been at my new job a while I'm realising I don't get time for lunch so snacking is essential!

If you havent heard of Graze box it' a webiste that you is similar to a beauty box subscription service but with snacks and you can tick snacks you want to try soon, ones you do not want them to send and ones that you like.  The selection is fairly vast and for me it was just a way of not being repetitive in what I eat at work!

Here is my first box and the contents.




The box is slimline enough to fit through most letterboxes which makes it very easy to deliver, it also came on the day I requested it to come and came with a fact sheet about the food inside and the nutrients they contain.  What more could I want!



Excuse the glare, it's a dark day here so lights are essential!

Pina colada contains pineapple pieces, coconut flakes and mango-yum!

Salsa Mexicano is mexicanos and corriander and lime salsa-so tasty!


 
Then for the mid-late afternoon sugar craving there were two sweeter snacks (although if you choose the healthy box or use the bin option on the website they will omit any sweet choices).
 
Cookies and cream-mini chocolate cookies, roasted hazelnuts, white chocolate buttons and sunflower seeds-I love it all!
Pumpkin and ginger cake with an afternoon infusion-I love ginger cake and pumpkin seeds, I'm not so sure on the tea but I will drink it!!
 
Overall I'm really enjoying my Grazebox experience and if you fancy trying one for free you can use the code YGXQ96FD
 
Have you tried Graze box and what snacks for their range did you enjoy.
