Gift Guide: Elgento Candy Catcher

This weeks Gift Guide is a fun novelty gift perfect for all ages and it is the Elgento Candy Catcher, £19.99 (was £39.99) available in Robert Dyas.
The candy catcher is packaged in a bright attractive box.
The actual candy machine is wrapped in plastic to protect it.
Inside the machine is a mechanical grabber which you can manoeuvre using the levers to grab as many sweets as you can in one minute while the music plays.
Also included is 24 plastic coins which you insert into the coin section to start the game.
There is a section at the top of the lid where you can pour in sweets or any small prize. The less sweets in there, the more tricky it is to win a prize! The candy catcher takes 3x D batteries in order to operate which aren't included.
I had so much fun playing this with friends, it was really tricky to get a sweet which is half the fun! When you successfully manage tor retrieve a sweet and drop it into the shoot, it applauds you which I think was a really fun touch. Overall, I think this would make a great gift for kids (the recommended age is 3+) or adults and would be an awesome addition to have at parties, small gatherings etc. To make it even more fun, you can set up a game in order to win the coins rather than sharing them and this will make it a bit more competitive!

How To: Apply False Nails

Image
Hey guys Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails. You need: False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc) Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 ( www.superdrug.co.uk ) Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick Nail scissors (curved work best) Emery board 1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic. 2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off. 3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove

MUA Cosmetics Review

Hey everyone Last week for my birthday, I went shopping and while I was in Superdrug and I  picked up some things from MUA (Makeup Academy). There are some products here I haven't tried, one product I have but not this particular name. I actually fell in love with this brand when it was a very small company when everything was £1! Then the company expanded which made me very happy and so I tried   these products and I have mixed reviews. The first product I am reviewing is the BB Cream. This is £4 in the MUA online store ( www.muastore.co.uk ) or in Superdrug ( www.superdrug.com ). I wanted a BB Cream because I find foundation is too heavy and is bad for your skin and I started to go off tinted moisturizer. Anyway, for the price in general is OK for the product. I bought Shade Medium last week and I think this is a bit too dark for me even though the medium and light shade are very similar. The BB Cream is easy to blend. For me, this is going to be mixed with something light
