*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. The Popmaster Card Game* is based on the Ken Bruce National Radio show. This popular quiz is a game in which players compete against each other to test their music knowledge with a series of music-themed trivia questions. This set contains over 200 questions, so is great for family get together's or when travelling, to pass the time.  There are 69 question cards with 3 questions and answers on each card. Its really simple, all you have to do is shuffle the cards and place them face down on the table. You can either have one player ask all the questions or the person to the right of the first player draws a card from the top of the deck and asks the first question to the first player. If the player answers the first question correctly, then they score 1 point and move on to the second question.

  *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. When we were kids me and my sisters loved to make our own perfume by collecting rose petals and putting them in a bucket of water. If I recall correctly, it never worked out very well, but we had great fun anyway. The  Kikkerland Huckleberry Make Your Own Perfume* kit comes with a bottle and atomiser lid, a mess bag and some labels. All kids need to do is pick some flowers, put them in a mesh bag, let them soak in the water filled bottle and hey presto, you have made your very own perfume. Its a tad more hi-tech than back in my day, but its great fun to do. Huckleberry is a line of toys and tools which have been designed to encourage kids to interact with the outside world. Social media and online gaming can encourage kids to stay holed up inside, stuck to their screens, rather than appreciating nature and the world around them. This great little kit allows them to appreciate and learn about flowers while creatin...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I think we can all agree that travelling can be boring and monotonous, especially on long journeys, so I do love a good travel game. Cheatwell Travel Wild Guess* is a game of facts and figures, where guessing the closest to an answer scores points. The aim is to have the most points after 20 guesses. Its just so simple. The facts and figures are weird and wonderful, so the chances of someone knowing the correct answer are slim, so its a fun guessing game. Here are some of the questions on 1 card: Approximate the number of million people that share your birthday (I guessed 22 million and the answer is 20 million - not a bad guess if I do say so myself) Length of Noah's Ark in metres (I guessed 100 metres and the answer is 144.6 metres - again not too far out) Year the dodo became extinct (I guessed 1875 and the answer is 1662 - I don't really know much history I have to say, so I was pretty far out on this one) Habit...

I have tried quite a few primers lately and none of them have been anything more than ok. I had some vouchers to spend, so I decided to treat myself to some Charlotte Tilbury products (see my review of the Beautiful Skin foundation here). One of the products that I bought was the  Charlotte Tilbury Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer .  Now its pretty pricey at £40.00 for 30ml, but as I don't wear foundation daily, I know that this product will last me a decent amount of time. What sold me on it was that it has SPF 50 and it also contains hyaluronic acid. So not only does it hydrate my skin, but it protects my skin as well. Its easy to apply and leaves my skin feeling smooth and hydrated and it makes applying the foundation on top a breeze. My foundation sits well on top of it and it helps maintain the glowy finish that I like. Leigh 💜 I purchased this product with my own money
