MoneySupermarket Inspect a Gadget 7" Allwinner Android Tablet

This was a nice a little find! 

I got it from my cousin, MoneySupermarket want you to review one of five budget items: e-reader, tablet, portable DVD player, pocket HD camcorder and MP3 player. I graciously chose the tablet. It was a hard decision between that and the DVD player.

I was thinking for something to keep my daughter occupied, and myself. The tablet only being 7" is a good size for a toddler, I plan to download some children apps for her on it.

Back to the tablet! It is available in several colours, me being me, chose pink.







 It is already charged, which is really good, I hate buying new things then having to wait a few hours to charge it up. My old phone was an Android so I have no issues trying to figure out how to work it. It only has a 1 GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM and 4G memory but for £50 you can't really complain. I purchased off amazon on Friday and it arrived today, nice and quick. The average battery life is 3 hours, not a lot but will last well for a child playing a few games.




It already came with a few games installed: Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, I quite enjoy those games so that was a nice surprise. I tested out the 'Play Store' to download a free doodle app and I had no issues connecting to my wireless or downloading the app. It has flash and you should be able to watch BBC iPlayer, ITV player etc, great to catch up with your soaps if you go away. It even has a camera on the front, its not the most detailed camera but could be fun for taking a few photos of friends, if I had friends to take a photo with :P
So all in all I am extremely pleased with the tablet, especially for the price, you can't really ask for more, it may run a little slower than a smartphone but for me its just a bigger version. I would definitely recommend this to someone who was looking for something portable and wont break the bank.

April Glossy Box Review

Being new to the beauty world, I have only just heard of these kinds of boxes, but wasn't really interested because I don't go for fancy items I tend to just stick to easy things, what I know. I kept seeing really good reviews for certain products in this months box, not really knowing that I wouldn't get what I had seen elsewhere!



These boxes cost £10 plus £2.95 postage, I didn't use my own money I had built up some money on paypal and decided to treat myself. 
Personally I was disappointed when what turned up wasn't what I had seen on a few reviews. The products are good, just not what I was expecting.
The box itself is very pretty, and I will definitely keep it to store something in.

Onto the products:


Starting from the little perfume. 

So Elixir Purple by Yves Rocher France, this is the only part of the box I won't be using and I knew that when I ordered it, I am very fussy with my perfumes, I like ones that smell of sweets, a bit too floral for me.

Essie 'Penny Talk' my review of which can be found here: http://zoesbitofeverything.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/essie-penny-talk-swatch-and-review.html

Dermalogica daily microfoliant, the only time I have used these products was part of a facial, many years ago. This is described as a rice based powder. You put a little on wet hands and it turns into a paste. It feels really nice, its not coarse, suitable for all skin types. I tried it out on my hand and it left it feeling amazing, can't wait to use it properly later. 

Lipcote Lipstick Sealer, since I started using lipstick I have been toying with the idea of getting something like this, but I didn't want to buy something I knew nothing about and end up wasting money so feel quite lucky that this was here, haven't tried it out yet, haven't left the house today but next time I do I will be giving it a go.

Finally the Nip + Fab body butter in coconut latte. This smells gorgeous! I am not a fan of coffee  but it doesn't really have that much of a strong smell, out of all of the products I would probably go and buy one of these full price, they are £9.95 but they make my skin feel so soft, really impressed with it.

So although I wasn't over the moon with this box, I will make good use out of what I have, but at £12.95 its not really a risk I can afford especially when each box can be completely different to what I have seen reviewed.

Have you used a glossy box before? What did you think?
