Yushio Rice Snacks

20 July 2016
RICE, rice snacks, yushio, soy&balsamic vinegar, lightly salted,RICE, rice snacks, yushio, soy&balsamic vinegar, lightly salted,

 I was sent over a big box of Yushoi  Snapea Rice snacks to review in numerous flavours including Soy &Balsamic Vinegar, Sweet Chilli & Lemon, Lightly Salted and Smoked Salt & Szechaun Pepper. These are available in a big bag 105g to share priced at £1.99  and in multipacks just like crisp, making them super easy to take with you as a snack and have a maximum of 96 calories per pack. These are free from nuts and dairy making them great for everyone.

The first thing you notice about these snacks is the colour, they are literally bright green and yes I'm kicking myself for not taking a photo. They are made from rice and green pea, hence the green colour. All of the flavours have a very light feeling to them

Soy & Balsamic Vinegar- this is effectively salt and vinegar to me i always think salt and vinegar is a tangy flavour, and these taste exactly like you would expect.

Sweet Chilli & Lemon- These are the most flavoursome of all of these as there flavour is the strongest, there is a instant zap of tangy and zest with this flavour and its almost like a sweet flavour and the little bit of chilli adds a kick to the flavour making it more fiery.

 Lightly Salted- the lightly salted flavour taste lightly flavoured with salt so aren't too over powering they just have there natural taste with hint of salt.

Smoked Salt & Szechaun Pepper- in this flavour the pepper is very prominent as you would expect this gives the flavour to this snack but it also has a barbecue flavour to it.

These are available from: Tesco, Morrisons, Amazon, Co-op, Ocado, Selfridges and Whole Foods.

Driving Lessons

18 July 2016

driving, car, driving lessons
Source: Google

Driving Lessons are something that i am always thinking about the day i turned 16 i promised myself that i would do my driving lessons but being the lazy person i am i had no job so i just couldn't fund this. As time went on this sadly became less of a priority for some reason, looking back this is so stupid i had so much free time to do them. Right now I'm currently still jobless as i am at university, still no excuse i know but I am living at home so this means that i actually have a lot of money spare from my student loan so I'm contemplating starting my driving lessons this September, actually scrap that i have to make a promise to myself that i will start my driving lessons or i never will.
For someone like me i literally wouldn't know were to start with driving lessons, it seems like a scary prospect, getting in a car with a stranger with all those buttons not having a clue were to start but i think thats just my negative and worry coming out. Although i wish i had done my driving lessons when i was 16, i am now nearly 20 and i still think its a great age to learn, i don't want to end up leaving it any longer as why not have the skill and independence to drive now?

In my opinion from friends and family that i have seen do and pass there driving lessons they have all had a great experience and loved the freedom it brings from being able to drive as it no longer means you are reliant on anyone else to be your personal transport so i honestly cant wait to start my driving lessons.

I have recently discovered a new site (book learn pass)  that makes the whole process a lot easier, it enables you to be able to book driving lessons in your local area, book intense driving courses, book your theory test, access tip. So its a great help for anyone thats starting there driving lessons or like me doesn't have a clue were to start!

Mother Pucker Review

11 July 2016

Soap and glory, mother pucker, cinnamon beige, super nude, matte,

After hearing many things about these lipsticks i decided to go and pick two up, as usual i picked up the dark, brown toned pink colours because these are 100% my favourite shade of lipsticks. These are from the Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Nudes Collection Lipstick, the two shades in matte picked up were super nude and cinnamon beige. 
I love the packaging of these lipsticks, the rose gold packaging makes these stand out and as a blogger yes very stereotypical but i love anything rose gold. I also love the 's&g' imprint on the lipstick its self all the little touches help to create a overall great impression before even trying the product. In the range there are 3 matte lip colours and 5 satin colours all in a nice shade as these are from the Nude collection. 

Soap and glory, mother pucker, cinnamon beige, super nude, matte,
Left: Super Nude. Right: Cinnamon Beige
Here you can see the two shades, they are very similar although Cinnamon Beige is a slightly more darker shade, they are both very pretty! The formula is very moisturising and creamy on the lips which is something that i always look for in a lipstick especially matte as they cant often be quite drying on the lips. These lipsticks are also very long wearing, even more than other lipsticks such as Mac and the colour payoff is so good, they are so pigmented!


You can find them from boots here.

Bakedin Mug Brownie £1.50
This was the most exciting thing in the box for me and yet I'm still to try it, it was sat there for days waiting for photos to be taken and then i went away so wasn't able to but i cant wait i love the idea of these and there idea for taking away with you.

Marstons Larger £1.70
This claims to be a big and bold larger that has been handcrafted. Although i haven't tried this yet because i don't really drink I'm sure my dad will love this.

Destroyer-Olivier Belgian Butters £1.10
This was hands down my favourite product this month, i was so intrigued by these and they are so good they are butter biscuits that look like waffles and they taste so sweet and so buttery and omg so nice.

Dolcis Shoes

2 July 2016



dolcis, summer, loafers, sandals, lace up,

The team at Dolcis very kindly sent me two pairs of shoes and I'm so grateful because they are amazing and will see me right through the whole of summer. For anyone that didn't know Dolics is a online shoe retailer, stocking a wide range of styled shoes.

The first pair of shoes i was sent was the Shelia Faux Leather Loafer in pink, what i love about these is the cleated sole because to me that just makes a shoe way comfier than it ordinarily would be. The pink colour is perfect for spring and summer to add a pop of colour to your wardrobe even teamed with a top and jeans these loafers will look amazing. They are priced at £30.

The other pair of shoes that have been sent is the Vera Gladiator flat sandal in gold these are £28, i own to other pairs of sandals that are laced up and i think I'm slightly obsessed with them and these to me looked a bit different because you don't often see them in a gold colour. These are super comfy because there not completely flat to the floor it has quite a wedge up from the floor and these are going to be perfect for my holiday, and you will definitely see them on a outfit post.

You will definitely see these in upcoming outfit posts this summer!

Soap and Glory Face Wash Review

22 June 2016
Face soap and clarity vitamin c facial wash soap and glory

Before i start ill tell you a little bit about what this product is; this is the 3 in 1 vitamin c facial wash that contains jojoba scrub beads and natural super fruit Yuzu. It claims to clean and purify the skin, remove makeup and exfoliate the skin. 
I  have been using this product for around a month now and I literally cant rave more about this product, i love it so so much. I now use this everyday and will 100% be repurchasing this, this is actually the first time that i have ever said i would repurchase a facial wash as i tend to just buy different ones all the time.I use this by applying the product on to wet skin and then massaging it into the skin before washing it off, its so so simple yet it literally is os effective. 
By just doing these simple steps it gets rid of all my makeup and leaves my skin feeling so so soft, although it does remove my makeup i use my miclear water before hand because i like this to act more like a facial wash but it still picks up bits that the miclear water doesn't. I just feel like this product really gives my skin a really good clean and its never felt as soft as it does from using this product. Even my mums gone out and bought this after how much I've raved about it and she absolutely loves it too! 
This is priced at £8 for a 350 ml product how reasonable priced is that!!

You can get it here from boots!

notebook, sticky notes, pens, stationary, born pretty store


notebook, sticky notes, pens, stationary


Born pretty store comes from China i believe but you get no import fees or anything like that and they dispatch within 24 hours which is pretty good and means your parcel doesn't take too long to arrive concerning its from China. 
Anyway i picked three things, firstly is the Sticky Notes Notebook, how cute is it? It looks like a cute little notebook from the outside and contains 5 index sticky notes and two big sticky note sections. This is priced at £1.68 how cheap!!! 

Next is the pink notebook,  on the website this comes under cartoon notebook because there are a few different designs as it randomly picked which notebook you should receive. This is priced at 70p again how cheap is this and is great for blogging! 

Lastly is the fruit shaped lollipop pen, again there are four designs and its randomly selected which one you will receive. These are super cute i think these all make a perfect back to school gift. This is also priced at 70p! 

All in all i would recommend this website to anyone its very reasonable priced, offers a great service and the delivery is also great. 

I have a 10% discount code for you all too: HYYT10

New in- Makeup Brushes

1 June 2016



I recently received these brushes from Makeup Brushes UK  a online makeup brush distributer, giving 1st class free delivery with every order. I received two makeup brushes and one set of makeup brushes.

So Eco Powder Brush 
This is a brand that i had never heard of before i received this brush so i was interested to try this out as the prices are quite comparable with Real Techniques with this brush being priced at £8.50. On first glance i loved this brush, it was so so soft i didn't think it looked that soft in the packaging so was so surprised. This brush is a powder brush so is perfect for setting makeup and i find quite good for bronzer too. I would definitley recommend this and i would love to try out some more brushes from this brand.

Real Techniques Arched Powder Brush
I have wanted to try a Real Techniques brush from the bold metals collection for quite some time now so i was literally so so excited to try this. The first thing i did was brushing this across my face because it was so so soft. This was priced at £22.50 with free delivery. I love love love this brush like i said it is so soft and the product applies so nicely with this brush, recently I've been using this to apply my highlighter and its been working amazingly!

So Echo Eye Brush Kit 
If I'm being honest i don't really use eye product its just something i don't do so I've gave this set to my mum as she loves to try out eye makeup. This costs £12.50 which is quite cheap considering you get five brushes making them £2.50 each.
