My New Favourite Snack

I can't get enough of the Barbecue Popchips, I wouldn't say they're quite 'guilt free' but I feel better about eating them than most other snacks available for my lunch break.

Someone I work with kept raving about the sweet and salty Katy's Kettle Corn flavour, he kept telling me that it's just like when you mix sweet and salted popcorn together at the cinema... do people even do that?!

Lo and behold when I went to get Popchips yesterday there were no barbecue ones to be seen, either everyone else had realised just how yummy they are or my friend had hidden them all out the back...

I reluctantly picked up a bag of Katy's Kettle Corn (and some Sour Cream & Onion Popchips, just in case I had to take the taste away!), I have to say I was actually really intrigued and tried them straight away and they are so good!

I can't really describe the taste, apart from 'sweet and salty popcorn', but it really does work.

Before you all run out and get yourself a bag (if you haven't already tried them) here's a few Katy's Kettle Corn Popchip facts:
-There are 128 calories per bag, a bag of Walkers Ready Salted has 133 calories (so no big difference there)
-A bag of Katy's Kettle Corn has 3.9g of fat whereas a bag of Walkers Ready Salted has 8.5g
-Katy Perry created the Katy's Kettle Corn 'flavour'.

Apologies for the photo of the empty bag, I couldn't wait long enough to take a photo before I tucked in!

What's your favourite 'not so guilty' snack?

My First Haul!

I've been wanting to revamp my skincare everything routine for a while, I decided that I deserved a mini shopping spree as I've been doing loads of overtime and not much spending!

Bodycare

Soap and Glory -The Daily Smooth - £2.50 - I saw this in the clearance when I was working yesterday, at £2.50 I knew I had to get one! I've tried a few Soap and Glory products but never a lotion/moisturiser, I always had the opinion that they were a 'gimmicky/gifty' brand but from the great reviews I've seen I'm starting to leave that opinion behind!

I probably won't do a full review on this as it's being discontinued, fingers crossed for them rebranding and bringing out some new products like they did with their facial skincare!

Vaseline - Spray and Go - When this was first launched I was convinced it was a 'look what we can do different' products, after all how can a 'spray' be that moisturising?! Apparently I was wrong, I've heard and read great things so I thought I'd give it a go, after all I am quite lazy in the body moisturising area!

Carex - Cola Bottles - My mum brought me Strawberry Laces Carex when she last came to visit, I loved the smell and how cute it looked in the kitchen, when I saw Cola Bottle 'flavour' I couldn't resist giving it a try (half price in Boots too!). There's not too much to say about this apart from it smells amazing!

Haircare

Umberto Giannini - Frizzi Extreme Taming Spray - £5.99 - I love my hair, but hate it's frizziness, I thought I'd found the perfect solution when I bought Moroccan Oil from my hairdresser but my sister soon discovered it and it subsequently 'disappeared'. Reluctant to spend a lot on a replacement I thought I'd give something cheaper a go, I haven't read any reviews so I'll see how it goes!

Umberto Giannini - Plump Up Volumising Mask - £5.61 - My hair is long, wavy/curly but incredibly flat so I'm hoping this will at least help me out a little (and Umberto Giannini was 2 for £8!).

Cosmetics

Barry M - Nail Paint Spring Green - £2.99 - This wasn't particularly my choice, we've got to wear green to work tomorrow so this is my contribution in the nail department. But... I haven't actually ever owned a Barry M Nail Paint (I know right!) so I'm excited to see what it's like.

Models Own - 5 Piece Brush Set - £10.00 - Theses are meant to be travel brushes but I desperately needed a lip brush and there was very minimal choice unless I wanted to spend a fortune. I needed to get a blusher brush too so I treated myself, I'll do a review when I've had a go at using them.

Facial Skincare

Boots Botanics - All Bright Refreshing Eye Roll On - £8.99 - I've suffered from dark circles under my eyes for as long as I can remember, for as long as I can remember I've also used Benefit Erase Paste. I really wanted to try something to actually get rid of the problem, not just hide it!

Eucerin - DermoPurifier Concentrate - £9.50 & Eucerin - DermoPurifier Cleanser - £9.18 - I intended to buy La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo but ended up chatting to the Eucerin Consultant. Usually I'm not swayed by people promoting a product but she really did seem to know what she was talking about and with a money-back guarantee and a two for £15 promotion I decided to try these two products out. I was also given two testers from the same range, a review will follow when I've had chance to test the range out.]


I hope you enjoyed my first haul, I tried to make it as easy to read as possible.

Have you tried any of these products?
