Snact Fruit Jerky Review- Apple And Mango

Hello Everyone,

So I recently contacted Snact who provide fruit jerky. Today I am going to review their fruit jerky in 'apple and mango'.

"Mountains of delicious and nutritious fruit get thrown away for being the wrong shape or size. We rescue this fruit to make our healthy snacks. 100% fruit. Vegan. Gluten Free. No additives or preservatives. Less than 65 kcal per bag. Made in the UK."- Snact

January is typically a month used to kickstart a new eating plan or diet. To help you on your way with a new lifestyle change I find healthier snacks packed in a way junk food would be really helps me shred the pounds! So today I am bringing you the ultimate in what I like to see as heathy food but packed in typically naughty crisp style packaging!

The key to any successful lifestyle change or dare I say diet, is that you need to feel you are not restricting yourself or cutting back. This I find helps if you find treats which are lower calorie and more nutritionally beneficial but isn't always your conventional apple or cucumber sticks! This is where Snact is perfect! If you are a 90's kid like me, I am sure you remember the fruit bowl fruit flakes or fruit winders, partially fruit but mainly sugar. Well imagine them tasting as good as they did, but 100% natural. This is what we have here!

The apple and mango version have 60 calories per pack, these are a fab on the go, throw in your handbag kind of snack. I also love that they claim to save fruit by taking all the not so pretty fruit the shops won't sell, and squishing into yummy snacks! I hate food waste so this is something that makes Snact stand out from other fruit snacks!

Fruit jerky is the perfect description as they do remind me of jerky, or giant fruit flakes, though not jelly like in texture and taste much fresher than fruit flakes. The flavouring is very concentrated, which is fantastic as theres noting worse than bland or artificial fruit flavoured food! I wish I could find more of these to try in store as I am a nightmare for craving things.

If you can get hold of these, pick some up, you will not regret it!

You can also get these in other flavours like Apple & Raspberry and Apple, Blueberry & Banana.

Snact also sent me 10% discount for their online store code is below along with their website.

I hope you enjoyed this little blog post. I shall talk to you all soon.

Until then!

Bondi Sands Self Tanning Review!x

Hiyya Everyone,

Today I am writing a review for the 'Bondi Sands' tanning foam and spray. I recently contacted them asking if I could review their products. I've never tanned in my life as I am so scared of using the stuff in-case I turn out like a orange but  I heard so many good reviews on their products I decided to give them ago and I was surprised with the results.

Bondi Sands is an Australian brand that had a vision of ensuring everyone could have a salon quality tan at home and at an affordable price.


Self Tanning Mist

So the first product they sent me was their 'Self Tanning Mist' in light/medium.

Since I'm a chicken, I just tried the Self Tanning Mist on my legs first to see if I could make this work. I had been worried about walking around with that awful potato smell thanks to the tanning mist, but it has a Coconut scent which actually conceals any trace of the self tanning that has occured.

The spray nozzle was really easy to aim at my legs but I foolishly started at the bottom and worked my way up to my knees and hips. I would recommend doing it the other way because then you don't over-tan your ankles when the spray sinks towards the floor. Because I am an impatient lass I only had the Self Tanning Mist on for an hour, but you can leave it on for six hours to get a darker tan. You can also re-apply the Self Tanning Mist 30 minutes after the first application to get an even more intense result. 

Seeing as I am a fan of the natural look I loved the result of my quick tanning hour session. It was so easy, a beautiful coconut fragrance followed me everywhere I went and my legs felt moisturized thanks to the Vitamin E that the Self Tanning Mist is infused with.

I was so pleased with how easy it was to achieve and how much better my legs looked. They literally glowed.

 

I used two coats of the mist and I didn't have to do any touch-ups and it was all so simple. I'm happy to say that I am no longer scared of self tanning! I like having the Self Tanning Mist up my sleeve for when I want the to tan up in a quick flash since the perfect tan can be achieved in an hour. 

The Bondi Sands Self Tanning Mist is suitable for all skin types, retails for £14.99 in Superdrug and on their website.

Self Tanning Foam

The next product  they sent me was their 'Self Tanning Foam' in light/medium. 

The first thing I noticed when using this tan was the fantastic you-could-eat-it scent. Instead of that classic fake tan biscuit like smell, this stuff smells like a thousand coconuts. Even after I had applied it, my bedroom smelt like coconut for days. 10/10 for the scent.

So here's what the foam looks like on the mitt. Being a usual gradual tan girl, I was quite scared when I applied this foam to my leg which was 10 shades darker than my skin. But don't fret, you wash it off. I started on my legs, using the residue for my feet, then I worked my way up my back, tummy, chest, arms and neck and finally a tiny bit on my face. I would say the foam is easily spreadable if you're quick with it, however if you notice a streaky patch a few minutes later, it can be quite difficult to blend, requiring more tan to even it out. After 1 hour I washed it off and I had a very light tan.

The next time however, I tanned before bed and slept in it, washing it off the following morning. This gave me a much more deeper tan. I love the fact you can adapt the tan to your own preference, having a light glow to a deep tan with the same product. One thing that I also noticed was whilst the tan was settling, it wasn't totally dry. When I sat on the toilet seat I left marks from my tanned backside (it did come off the seat), and a bit on my bedding. This isn't too much of a problem because the whole point is to rinse it off, but I would recommend wearing loose clothing after applying the product. On the upside, the product isn't at all sticky, and you can pretty much carry on as normal. To be honest, I think all the faff is worth it for a beautiful outcome! It's very even, no funny smells, not too orange, and even looks natural. I can finally see what all the fuss is about. Another factor I love is that this lasts a good few days, possibly even a week without re-applying. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a salon quality self tan, and I would say the price is worth it. I will definitely carry on purchasing the Bondi Sands tan. You can purchase this at Superdrug and their website for £14.99.

And that's all the products they sent me.

I hope you enjoyed reading this 'little' blog review, If you have tried these products I'd love to know your views on them.

Until then!

My Christmas Wish List 2016!x

Hiyya Everyone,

Long time no speak...
Basically I've had some trouble with my laptop and had to get it fixed so that's why I haven't been blogging but now I am back. I will have a few reviews up for you soon but today I thought I'd do my "2016 Christmas Wish List".

So obviously I'm 19 and I don't really care about if I get presents or not. I rather spend Christmas with my family and friends, but obviously everyone has something they really want for Christmas no matter what age you are.

So here is my list.

Superdrug

So I'll start with what I've seen in Superdrug.

1. Zoella Just Crackers

I find these super cute. The crackers contain Body Wash, Body Lotion, Lip Balm and Hand Cream which are all in a Vanilla and Gingerbread scent.

RRP: £11.00

2. Zolla Gingerbread And Bake My Day Gift Set

I love this gift set as its perfect for Christmas as it has that gingerbread scent. The bottle of the fragrance is like super cute with all the little gingerbread men on it. I have smelt this scent in store and it smells so divine and smells like my mum cooking gingerbread men in the kitchen which is always a overwhelming scent.

RRP: £11.00

Boots

Now I'm going to list everything from Boots.

1. Zoella On My Travels Back Pack

Now this has to be number one on my list from boots. for starters I'm a BIG bag collector. I love the bag as it is simple...just grey with nothing on it so it will go with any outfit. Also its a back pack so its easy to carry around. The bag comes with Zoella's pencils, mug & inspire key chain.

RRP:£50.00

2. Ted Baker Mini Beauty Bag

Now I like this because of the fragrance mist it comes with. I smelt a tester of it and it smells BEAUTIFUL. It also comes with a lip balm and body lotion.

RRP:£12.00

3. Yankee Candle Christmas Cookie Candle

Second to last on my "Christmas Wish List" has to be a candle. This one smells so yummy haha. I could sit there all day smelling it. For people who don't know what it smells like basically its like walking into a bakery and you smell the cookies but its a very sweet smell which is lovely but can get a tiny bit sicky.

RRP: £21.99 (large jar)

Now the next present that's on my wishlist isn't from Boots but it's  something I've wanted to do since this certain person started singing.

Justin Bieber Tour 2017

 I've always wanted to go to one of his concerts every since he started his career. I'm a HUGE fan of his. Not everyone likes him I know but everyone has their own opinions but personally I think he is amazing and has a brilliant voice.

RRP:£45-400+

That's everything on my wishlist for this year. Let me know in the comments below what you would like for Christmas and I will speak to you all soon.

Until then!

Laura Geller Review!x

Heeey Guys,
Today I will be writing a review about 3 beauty products which I've been trying over the past few days and thought I'd share them with you. 

I recently got hold of the company 'Laura Geller' which is currently a "make up" organisation. They are a very high brand but there products are amazing.

Here's all Laura Gellers Information

I wasn't 100% sure if the company would accept bloggers as they are such a high brand but lucky they did and I got accepted and I am very happy. 

The lady I spoke to was called Rachel and she was really lovely so I just want to give a HUGE shout-out to her for accepting my request and for being lovely.
Also want to say a big thank you to Laurel who took over when Rachel wasn't 


When Rachel contacted me she was lovely enough to let me pick the products I wanted to try.
So I went for 3 things that I knew I would use on a everyday bases.

I currently took this picture myself.

As you can see by the picture above I currently picked a primer, foundation and concealer.
The foundation and concealer are baked and the packaging is a nice marbled effected ( as you will see by pictures further on in the blog post) and is just beautiful.

I am going to review each product separately so that you guys know my thoughts and feelings on the products. Also there will be links to each product available and also the RRP.


Laura Geller Spackle Classic Make Up Primer

"Revive your skin with Laura Geller's best-selling Spackle® Under Make-Up Primer, which retexturizes the surface of your skin to achieve a flawlessly smooth finish.Spackle® is made with natural plant extracts and the powerful anti-oxidants, White Tea and Centella Asiatica Extracts. These ingredients protect the skin along with Aloe Vera Gel. Spackle® also helps the skin retain moisture, feel softer and look smoother. It is lush, incredibly lightweight and suitable for all skin types."- Laura Geller

So if you are into make up you know that a lot of primers are for using under your foundation to make it last a little longer during the day and to give the foundation a smooth base.

Photo taken by me!

The content was cloudy with an iridescent shimmer. It felt a little oily on the back of my hand but I'm not one to jump to a conclusion quickly so thought to test it on my skin first.

I wasn't really keen of the oiliness of the primer on my skin to be honest with you, I was hoping it was going to have a consistency of a moisturiser.

You don't need much of this primer as it is very spreadable so a little bit goes a long way. It takes a while to sink into the skin which I personally don't like as sometimes when I do my make-up I'm usually in a rush and don't have time to wait around.

On a positive note it really holds the foundation in place. I found my foundation lasted a lot longer then it usually would do. I find that it lasts about 8-9+ depending on the weather. A drug-store dupe for this I would say for the amount of time it holds the foundation, would be 'Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation'. This primer is the same as it holds the foundation on for a lot longer then other primers out there and is also a affordable one if you cannot afford the Laura Geller one. If you are looking for a more oil based primer then I definitely recommend this primer to you. I wouldn't recommend Spackle to those with oily/combination skin thou. I would only recommend it to women with dry skin as it gives a complete moisture boost and seems to work better on dry skin.

Packaging wise is very simple. It comes in a clear squeezable tube with a black lid along with the Laura Geller logo on it and red lips-which if I was in stores and seen this I could guarantee it wouldn't really make me want to buy it as its a tad boring to me as I like my 'bright' 'eye-catching' packings, which is a shame because the product is so good.

I give this primer a 4 out of 5 stars ****

RRP: $32.00/ £21.92

Laura Geller Baked Liquid Radiance Foundation- Porcelain 

"The next generation of Baked, now in a full-coverage liquid formula! Loose pigments are coated in Almond Oil, then baked in Italy on terracotta tiles to create perfect spheres of color that lay evenly on skin. Blended with skin-loving, moisturizing ingredients, this foundation delivers weightless, creamy color correction with a natural skin finish. The long-wearing, streak- free formula leaves skin glowing and healthy looking - like radiance in a bottle!"-Laura Geller

This is my own photo which I have taken.

The next product I want to talk about is the foundation.

The packaging to the foundation is amazing, I find it really attractive. It has a marbled look to the lid which is my favourite and is so gorgeous.  The bottle is glass so you do have to be careful if your going to be carrying it around in your make up bag as it may smash and that's something you don't want happening. This also has the Laura Geller Logo on.

So the formulation is baked with colour correcting pigments which really help with my skin as I do have a lot in-colouration going on. It also contains almond oil as well as other hydrating ingredients. 

Personally I find this foundation very low coverage. I've read many reviews saying that it's a 'high coverage foundation' but my perspective is that its doesn't give much coverage unless you layer it- which I'm actually pretty upset about as it sounded amazing by reviews I've seen online.

The texture runs very creamy and thick and is very easy to blend. The colour I got is 'Porcelain' which is a tad be lighter then my skin but to be honest I really like it as it makes my skin look healthy. Sometimes I like mixing the foundation with my moisturiser just to make it tinted and it works amazingly. The downside to this product is that you MUST use press powder to set it after or else it will get on to your clothes and is horrendous to get off- which I personally hate in a foundation to be honest.

The wear of this product is okay. If you wear the foundation without a primer it doesn't really stay on that long. I find that it "melts" off your skin within 3-4 hours and makes your skin look patchy and horrible which in a 'high-end' foundation really sucks because I'd expect it to last a lot longer then that for the price of it. If you wear it with a primer I find that it holds a lot better and lasts longer during the day- I'd say about 6-7+ hours, depends on where your going and what you are doing. 

For someone who has dry skin I do find that it gives my skin a little moister but not much.

Overall thou its a nice light foundation- not the best coverage but I can personally forget about that after applying powder.

I give this foundation a 4 out of 5 stars ****

RRP:- $38/ £26.23

Laura Geller Radiance Cream Concealer- Porcelain

"Color correcting under eye perfection – in a pot!This first ever Baked cream concealer doesn't settle into fine lines & wrinkles. Designed specifically to conceal and brighten dark circles and hydrate the delicate skin around the eye, with botanical oils and treated pearls to create a subtle luminescence, this innovative formula delivers creamy, concealer perfection that makes eyes look fresh, youthful and radiant!"- Laura Geller

Photo taken of the debenhams website.

So the last product I am going to talk about is the concealer.

The packing of the concealer is the same as the foundation. It has a marbled effect lid to it which yet again I find gorgeous. It's in a glass tube so again you do have to be careful carrying it around in your make up bag as it can smash. This also has the Laura Geller Logo on.

Formulation wise, It's a nice creamy constancy which is always good in a concealer as I hate it when they are very stiff to apply. 

I have to say I really do like this concealer. Yet again I got this in 'porcelain' which is a really nice light shade and is great for brightening up your eye area. The concealer gives great coverage which is brilliant as I suffer with dark circles under my eyes and usually a lot of break outs.  I find that applying this product with a brush is much better then applying with your fingers because you can more of the product- even thou you only need a pea size dot on each area. It's very bendable which is amazing especially for the eye area. 

Same as the foundation, you will have to use a primer with this concealer as I find if you don't it kind of like "moves around" your face- basically "melts off". With a primer it gives its full benefits of covering dark circles, pimples and also I found it covers my pores on my nose as well. You can wear the concealer under or over the top of the foundation either way it compliments the foundation really well and still gives amazing coverage. 

Overall I love this concealer and I've got to say its my new favourite concealer in my whole concealer collection.

I give this concealer 5 out of 5 stars *****

RRP:- $24/ £16.58

Link:- http://www.laurageller.com/baked-radiance-cream-concealer.html


So that is all the products I got of the lovely Rachel. Yet again I want to give her a big thank you as I really enjoyed trying and reviewing these products for her.

Also another big thank you to Laurel for contacting me when Rachel wasn't available. 

For people who live in the UK this is an American brand but you can purchase the products at many UK based stores. All links are below. Be warned all the prices will be different depending on how much the store wants to sell it.

I'm Back!!!

Hello Lovelies,
Guess who's back....

I know I've been away for about a year now but I wanted to take a break from blogging for a while and focus on my YouTube channel. Now I have decided to come back to my old blog (as I did start a new one but thought there was no point as I have this one).

So hopefully soon there will be more reviews, tags & wishlists coming your way so stayed tuned for that.

What have you been up to while being away?

Well as I said i have been focusing on my YouTube channel a lot as I really want to go far with that and actually want to do it for a living. Also recently (starting may time) I started travelling with a circus and have met and amazing guy there who I have fallen deeply in love with :) So far so good I guess....

I've also been battling my depression and anxiety a lot so that's a bummer....

apart from that I've been curled up in bed watching things on my Ipad and editing videos. 

So I will be back to reviewing things now everyone, hopefully you all stay live to my blog.

I will see you all very soon ;)

Love ya

Kylie xoxo

Choc Shot Review!x

                     

A little while ago I came across a product called 'Sweet Freedom'. I was very surprised to have not heard of it. I had tried so many sugar alternatives and here was something I could buy easily in my local supermarket. I wrote to 'Sweet Freedom' and they sent me this new revolutionary liquid chocolate, based on 'Sweet Freedom' and not containing refined sugar or anything that will cause intense sugar highs to review. I enjoyed sampling and testing it out and it was so good that I regularly buy the Choc Shot now.

                    

Recently I've been testing this "bad-boy" out, trying it on different things.

What with winter coming soon, lots of people ask me 'how can I make porridge more bearable?' Porridge is a love it or hate it kinda thing, but a bowl in the morning really will stave off hunger and cravings so it's a really good staple for me... some people love it just as it is... others add stewed fruit, banana, cinnamon, honey all kinds of things, but if you love chocolate... you need this bad boy! You literally only need a few drops of it, depending on how big of a chocoholic you are, but it give porridge that sweet choccie kick that's yum! It's so comforting and its exactly what you'll need on the dark winter mornings ahead of us!x

                         

This  stuff can be used is SO many ways... add a dash to warm milk and you've a fat free chocolate with no powdery lumps going on... If chocolate orange is your thing you can add a bit to your toast and marmalade... Its perfect to add to ice cream.

Drizzle it over meringues and yoghurt, or make a coffee into a mocha or even a few drops on a pancake... it's a winner for all the sweet teeth out there... and with Halloween on the horizon we'll need to keep our eye on the ball with the chocolate goodies incoming, this is just the thing to have into cupboard to get your 'fix'! I mean the Christmas tins of roses are out already!

Overall I think this liquid chocolate is amazing and so handy. Plus it saves you money ;) 

Here's a list of where you can buy Choc Shot- http://www.sweetfreedom.co.uk/index.php/where-to-buy

It also comes in other flavours such as Choc Spice Orange, Coconut Choc ect. I got given the Orginal Luquid Choc.

You lovelies should totally should give this stuff a try.

Until then!

Zeo Carbonated Soft Drinks Review!xx

Hello Lovelies,
Firstly I want to say I am very sorry for there not being a blog post in a while. I've been very caught up in moving and my YouTube channel and also been in hospital so I haven't had time to review and didn't really have nothing to review to be honest. But now I'm back with a brand new review for you.

So about a three or four ago I contacted a company called "Zeo". Unfortunately when I contacted them myself they didn't have anything that I could review. Then about 2-3 weeks ago I had a email from "Zeo" asking I if would review their products for them as they have revamped there company, and of course I said yes.

So here are the products "Zeo" sent me. These are glass bottles which I am not very keen on but it is a very sturdy packaging.

"Zeo" make delicious, lightly carbonated fruity drinks that come in six different flavors. I was lucky enough to be sent the Peach and Grapefruit, the Zesty Lime and the Blood Orange and Citrus flavors.

The lovely people at "Zeo" recommended I chill them before drinking so as soon as I got them, I popped them in the fridge and waited patiently for them to chill.

Zesty Lime- The zesty lime flavor didn't really have much taste to it and tasted a little watery. So I didn't really like this one much.The colour of the drink was a nice cloudy colour which represented the lime.I give this flavor 3 stars out of 5 ***.

Peach & Grapefruit- This one was my favorite. It was had a strong but not over powering flavor and taste's amazing on a nice hot summers day(I drank this one on a boiling hot day). The only down side to this flavor is that you could taste more peach then you could grapefruit,which i wish you could taste both combined together. The colour of this drink was coppery reddish colour. I give this 4 stars out of 5 ****.

Blood Orange & Citrus- This flavor had a very strong citrus taste which I didn't like at all. If it was a sweet citrus taste then I may of liked it a bit more. Also you can't really taste the orange in it which is kind of disappointing. The colour of this drink is a nice light orange colour. I give this 2 out of 5 **.

There are 6 flavors,which are:-

• Peach & Grapefruit
• Zesty Lime
• Blood Orange & Citrus
• Mixed Berry
• Spiced Cola
• Cloudy Lemon

I really want to try the "Spiced Cola" as I love cola flavored stuff.

You can get this flavors in 275ml bottles, 750ml bottle known as "share size" bottles & 250ml cans.

Here's a link for a 50p off coupon for 275ml bottle-  http://www.drinkzeo.com/discount-voucher-275/

You can purchase "Zeo" from Ocado ranging from £2-£5-  https://www.ocado.com/webshop/getSearchProducts.do?clearTabs=yes&isFreshSearch=true&chosenSuggestionPosition=&entry=zeo

I just want to say thank you to "Zeo" for letting me take this opportunity to try their products out. I really enjoyed putting my taste buds to the test.

If you are wanting a little bit more information about "Zeo" then here's there website- http://www.drinkzeo.com/

Until then!

Sorry!!xx

Hiyya Lovelies,

I writing this blog post today because I need to apologies for the lack of blog posts there has been. As you all know (if you watch my YouTube channel) 1-2 month ago I found out I was pregnant- I was really happy and overwhelmed and was overjoyed I was gonna have my own little baby to look after and set my mind to. Unfortunately about 2-3 weeks ago (from the date of this blog post) I got rushed into Singleton Hospital (South Wales) because I was suffering with bleeding and terrible cramping pains (never want them pains again)....so you all probably can guess what happened....yes I had a miscarriage...Apparently to my doctor I suffered the miscarriage at 7 weeks of my pregnancy but only start getting symptoms at 11 weeks. I am now getting through things slowly and carefully and hoping to try again very soon. But the main reason why I was telling you guys this short story is because it was the main reason why I stopped YouTube and Blogging. I wanted the best for my baby and wanted to focus on the pregnancy and getting my own place before the baby came. But now (obviously) I am back to blogging and back to Youtubing and I just want to say to you guys and girls- Thank you so much for supporting all the way through, I've really appreciated all the support I've gotten..especially on my Instagram (follow me at @kylie_baby_97). 

Also I have been diagnosed with "Social Anxiety" which I'm still getting use to. As you know most girls like going out shopping, spending the "dosh" and just having fun in town or where ever they go. I'm one of these girls but every time I go out by myself I get really paranoid like someone is trying to attack me from behind or sneaking up on me and I start panicking and getting really bad panic attacks. Unlike most people they can talk to random people or strangers as we call them and have a really good conversation with them. I find it hard to communicate with people and I cramp myself up and get a little nervous and scared. I explained this all to my doctor and she is getting to me help and support with this and has diagnosed me with "Social Anxiety". This isn't a full diagnostic but hopefully we will get a full one soon.

Once again I am very sorry for the lack of posts on my blog and videos on YouTube but hopefully everything should be back to normal in a few days/weeks.

Until then!
