Makeup Academy (MUA) - Eyeshadow Palette - Heaven And Earth

Hello Lovelies!
 
So whilst shopping in Superdrug the other day I came across a hidden gem ~ the MUA Heaven and Earth Palette. I have always been a neutral eye shadow kind of gal so when I saw these colours I knew that this was the palette for me. I have been interested and almost bought the Naked 2 palette (and might still buy) but this.....this is just amazing. It has a set of twelve eye shadows in a range of colours: Gold's to Creams to Browns to Purples. Absolutely stunning. I am in love. I seem to say that about everything don't I?
 

 
 
It has extremley simple packaging, a black rim with the logo in silver writing in the centre. The middle part has a clear lid so you can clearly see and identify each colour. It clasps in the centre at the front and when you open it you get not only the twelve eye shadows but a brush in its own little compartment - woo! It is also super handbag friendly. It fits in my smallest clutch bag - perfect for night time emergencies girls... ain't I right?
 

 
 
The colours are perfect. They all have a slight shimmer to them which I love but it's not for everyone. Most of the colours are very highly pigmented but some of the lighter shades need a couple of coats but all in all the shades are extremely opaque.
 
 
 
Overall this is possibly the best - for it's price - Neutral palette that I have ever come across. It's cheap as chips at £3.99 from Superdrug and a great addition to everyone's makeup bag.
 
Bye! X

Healthy Breakfast | Fruity and Fun!

Hello Lovelies!
 
A big hassle in life for me is finding the balance between healthy and hefty. I am very happy with my size 8/10 but I don't want that to change. However, I am not willing, as a complete chocoholic, to give up all the bad for you goodies....
 
So I decided instead of changing my snacks out of my routine that I would change them up. A good way to pacify my sweet tooth is by eating fruit therefore my most recent breakfast has been this fruity and fun cocktail (not an actual cocktail - alcohol is not a good breakfast option children)
 
Here goes!
 
What You'll Need
 
 
7 Strawberries
7 Raspberries
12 Black Grapes
1 Kiwi
1 Banana
1 Apple
1 Nectarine
A knife
A chopping board
and finally a plate
 
 
Method
 
 
1. Wash all fruit.
2. Take apple and slice continue to chop into little chunks
3. Do the same with the nectarine
4. Continue onto the banana and slice it
5. Take the kiwi and skin it then chop into little chunks
6. Take the tops off of the strawberries then cut into quarters. Then add all fruit into bowl and your finished!
