Review: Nail Rock Meadham Kirchhoff Nail Wrap

The first time I saw this was on the Topshop website, I thought the print on it looked pretty adorable and quite retro. So after I finished my exams I went to the Topshop in town and bought it:
The pack of nail wraps cost me £7.00, which is actually quite pricey, I didn't mind as the print as just too nice to be ignored. In the pack there are some acetone wipes, a nail filer and a cuticle pusher (wooden stick with sharp ends). I thought the things that came with the nail wraps might actually be great help in the application of them.
Once I have actually tried to put the nail wraps on, I started regretting spending £7 on it. Despite the nail wraps coming in different sizes, NONE of them actually fit my nails. This caused wrinkles on the nail wraps and extra bits coming off the edges on my nails, they are not easy to trim as it is far too easy to mess up.
Overall, this looked great on the packaging and everything, but I would not buy one again since it is just far too hard to apply. This product will be rated a 1out of 5, since it just looks pretty from the packaging, but does nothing otherwise.

Graze Box! Free code inside!

I finally got a Graze Box! :D
Having heard about this a while ago via Facebook, I have always been curious about just how this whole thing works. Apparently, what happens is that you register with them, and then you will get to rate all the food and every week they will send you a different variety of foods depending on your ratings.
So this way, you will get something different in each box, with the ones you like being sent most regularly and the ones you are happy to try sent  occasionally, the food that has been binned will never be sent.
So the box itself looks like this:
inside it are 4 compartments, with different things being sent:
I had Summer berry flapjack, Heart healthy nuts, Super berry detox and Very Nori-sh sent to me after I rated the stuff on the website. each box looks like this:



they are all nicely packed and looks really appealing! Actually cannot wait to try them out. The best thing is that whenever you decided you no longer want the box sent to you, you can cancel the next delivery, making the whole system really flexible, for example, when you are on holiday you can pause the deliveries for a few weeks, and then continue the whole thing!
Now due to this being the first box I got, I have codes for a free box that I can give out!
The code is: N1QZ51ND

Haul: Trafford centre, 15/06/2012

It's been a while! :(
I have been busy with exams and then got REAL lazy with life.
Anyways, I had a trip to the Trafford Centre today and got the following items. Again this is in no way showing off, I AM SKINT!


Item No.1: Minty coloured jumper(?), Topshop, £26

I was just looking around the shop when I found this. The colour with great, a sort of minty green with random black dots in it. The jumper is a loose fit sort of sheer so I will definitely need to wear something underneath. It can be worn so many ways, with shorts, jeans, a dress underneath or just whatever! I think it is worth the price, since there are so many ways to wear it.

Item No.2: Dress, H&M, £10

This dress has a sort of cute print on it, the main coulour being pink with tiny heart prints all over it. It was in the sales being sold at £10. I tried it on, everything fit well except it didn't fit too well around my boobs, which is pretty non-existent... It was something that has never happened in the history of my life!
Despite that, this dress has POCKETS. I always thought dresses with pockets are convenient, I hate it when I wear a dress and has nowhere to put my phone! So dress with pockets, definitely want.

Item No.3: Prep+Prime Transparent Finishing Powder, M.A.C, £18.50

I have needed a powder for ages, to set everything on my face (which is not actually a lot).
So the powder has a black packaging:
Is it bad if I liked this box more than the actual box for the powder? it's sort of sparkly....
Okay, so the powder itself appears white in the packaging (dodgy, I joke). I was worried about it being too pale at first but when I tried it on it is actually transparent and melted into my skin. I am yet to try it out on lasting power, something might be written about this later....

Item No.4: Active Charcoal Mask, Origins, £19

My clay mask from Superdrug ran out a few days (a week) ago, I decided to not buy it again because it left my skin really dry to the point where it's nearly peeling off my face (ew). So I decided to splash out and get this. It claims to clear out pores of "stuff" in it. Since it is charcoal I am sort of convinced. Again, I am yet to try this out, something might be written about it later. :)

So that's it. Apart from all those I also bought a new shirt for dad, since it's father's day soon. After this shopping trip I am not even going to check my bank account.... 

Laters!
