EATS: The Breakfast Club!

Hey Beauts,

Whilst I am not a huge fan of breakfast foods, I have to say I am a huge fan of The Breakfast Club. The food is gorgeous and presented so well. The industrial-esque theme of the décor is stunning and the staff are so friendly. Not to mention the smoothies, the quirky-ness, the Mayor and the huge fridge. Everything just fits together so well, yet not at all. It's brilliant!


Located at various locations around London, Spitalfields is the only one I have actually visited and after some research, it sounds like the best restaurant too. If you turn up and say to a staff member that you are 'here to see the mayor', you will be escorted off through a giant fridge door to a secret underground bar whilst you make your acquaintances with the mayor. As crazy as it seems, it is pretty fun and definatly a unique experience as the decoration in the secret room is different, but really cool.

As for the food, the portions are quite big and/or very filling as you can see above for about £10 a plate. The BBQ bacon and chicken sandwich was great for a savoury lunch, whilst the pancakes and berries were absolutely delicious for those with a more sweet tooth. Especially as the vanilla cream was to die for. As for drinks, well, the 'Big Breakfast' smoothie is super yummy. A bit like a thick strawberry milkshake but oh so good!

I definatly reccomend going and cannot wait to visit again, even if I am on a diet. Have you ever been? What would you reccommend? And do you know of any other amazing restaurants in London? I would love to here what you have to say in the comments below.

Eye Kandy Glitter Review!

Hey Beauts,

So it is that time of year again, and IMATS tickets for London 2015 have been released! Whilst I won't be attending this year, I had the honour of going last year with a close friend who is a make-up artist and had a brilliant time. One thing I just had to pick up when I saw the display was some Eye Kandy glitters. I think I speak for everyone when I say Glitter is stunning and us girls are drawn to glitter like a dog is to a bone. 

Spearmint - Sizzlin' Cinnamon - Candy Coin - Double Bubble - Confetti - Marshmallow
Double Bubble & Candy Coin - Spearmint & Sizzlin' Cinnamon

The kit included 6 glitters of my choosing, a brush and some liquid sugar. It was a long time ago now, but I think it cost £30 which is a fantastic price for what I got. Full price on the Eye Kandy website it is £30 for the same set but it only includes 3 glitters and not of your choice, singular glitters being £6.50 each. So I would definatly say it is worth picking this up at IMATS if they are there again this year with similar deals. I have to start off by saying these are fantastic. I don't wear them that often - maybe on the odd night out - but when I do, they are stunning. It takes a little bit of getting used to, figuring our how much liquid sugar to use with how much glitter, but once you have that sussed you are ready to go!  I find it applies really well and you can customise the glitter mixtures to make them as opaque as you want. If you really want to, you can even mix colours (as pictured above) to custom create your own shades. I really like combining Double Bubble and Candy Coin for a beautiful rose gold shade that really is stunning on the eyes.

However, as with any glitter you do want some great packaging to really make sure the glitter doesn't get everywhere. Well, this packaging isn't that great and I have already had my fair share of spillages to deal with. I find working with these over the sink works well as you can just wash away any messes you create really easily. Just make sure you screw the lids on tight when you have finished.

As you can tell I really do love these (Who doesn't love glitter?!) and they come in some really stunning shades. I highly suggest checking them out, even if it's just to look at some pretty glitters! Have you ever tried them out before? If so, what do you think of them? I love creating looks just for the fun of it even if I'm not going out the house at all. Would you be interested in seeing them if I posted them in other blog posts? Let me know below, I love reading your comments and thoughts on these products! If you aren't already, remember to follow on GFC and BlogLovin' so you don't miss out on future posts.
