So I thought I would follow up from my Gluten free blog. I thought it would be helpful to give you my favourite Gluten-free Snacks, products and restaurants...  

Favourite  snacks....  

•   Rice cakes w/ almond butter( This is probably my new favourite snack!) 
•   Dates(I would say chopped are my favourite!!)               
•   Almonds(Such a great snack and a great source of calcium)      
•   Carrot Stick (Chopped them up in the morning and snack through your the day!!) 
• ....Chocolate Raisins (this would be my favourite 'sweet' snack!! Most are GF but I would recommend checking that packaging!)

Top Products                  

 I wouldn't say I was the biggest bread eater and since being gluten free I am less likely to actually to eat it but I would definitely say that my favourite bread is Genius bread!  Any other pieces of bread that I have tried are all very dry and lack flavour if you follow a GF diet you will know what I mean by 'Just wanting a normal piece of bread'.   

My other favourite brand is Eat Natural, they do amazing protein bars ( My favourite being the Brazil, Sultana and hazelnuts bar). Their gluten free toasted muesli with buckwheat is also a must have.... 

Nakd bars are also my top, they count as one of your five a day and for me they taste like sweets!! My favourite ones are Cashew cookie and Rhubarb and Custard! 

Like I said in my last post knowing what is naturally GF is always a bonus!! Don't always head to the 'Free From isle, research!! 

Best food places- 

Prezzo has to be one of my fav places, their website is very clear and they know a lot about being gluten free!! 

There Ice Cream and Hazelnut  bombe desert is Gf and is to die for!! *inserts heart eyed emoji*

Prezzo Allergen advice is here 

Pizza Hut has definitely the best pizza, having tried so many different places they have to be the number one!!! It's the one pizza that taste the closest to 'normal pizza'. Most toppings are also gluten free and I know that the BBQ dip is GF!! 

Their desert is delicious too, after querying what was Gf I found that there Brownie sundae was. 

Normally the only gluten free desert is ice cream/sorbet its is nice to have something different!! Pizza Hut Allergen Advice here 

In terms of my favourite pasta I wouldn't say I have it a lot going out. I feel it is so easy to have at home that I tend to opt for pizza however a Restaurant in my area Gigis is my favourite pasta. 

TIPS!! 

My best tip is to be prepared, researching can never harm and going in with knowledge is always best. BUT always make sure, I would say always ask and make them aware of your intolerance. Either your server or a manger can be the best help. 

 There are times when there can be things cooked/fried with a gluten product which in turns makes it not suitable. Menus change all the time as well so always check!!  Better be safe than sorry!! :) 

Let me know in the comments what your favourite Gluten Free top picks are?

Love Emma xox

The first brush is the Sephora 57 Pro Airbrush Conceal brush.. I purchased this in Sephora whilst on holiday in Milan with my family and it is a brilliant brush!! 

I use it with my concealer to cover up my problems areas and I feel it makes these area look smooth and flawless. 

The brush is super soft and very easy to use!! It is very worth the money  and I would certainly recommend!! 

The second brush is Real Techniques Bold Metallic Oval Shadow brush...

This brush is meant for your eyes and it is a very good Eye brush however I use it as a concealer brush!! I feel that this brush is the right shape and well as having the right fluffiness for a perfect concealer brush. I use this brush more for highlight rather than my problem areas. But both this and my Sephora Brush is a perfect match. 

This is my most recent purchase, aswell as it being an amazing brush, the Bold Metals collection is beautiful.. 

The third brush on my list is Sephora 73 Crease brush... 

Again I purchased this whilst in Milan! I would definitely say it was a dupe for MAC 217, I had been looking for a blending/fluffy brush for a long time and heard amazing reviews about MAC 217... I was on my way to the MAC counter as I seen this brush... 

It is a perfect shape for blending and it holds a lot of product! It creates the perfect look without shedding! This brush is very affordable and a must have in your make-up collection. 

                                                                    Number four is Real Techniques Expert Face Brush.... 

This has to be my all time favourite foundation brush! Having went through a phase of using my fingers (I know, disgusting) I found Real Techniques brushes, thanks to my sister. I firstly swore by Real Techniques buffing Brush, I loved it and it made my make-up apply really nice But then I purchased the Expert Face brush for my friends Christmas, I had forgot my brushes one day after staying over and she was really kind in letting my borrow her brush.. I was in love... The foundation went on so smoothly and it sat perfectly!! 

I automatically put it on my Christmas list last year and was super lucky to have received it!!! The brush is super soft yet it gives a very good coverage and like I said it makes my face look smooth and flawless. 

The last brush and right now my favourite is Real Techniques Cheek Brush... 

Like all Real Techniques brushes it is super soft and very good value. This came in a set name Nics Picks, and I believe it was a set exclusive.

What is your top brushes? Leave in the comments any recommendations?! 

     Love Emma xox

1. Which product do you keep still buying more of despite having plenty in your collection? Nail polish, this isn't partially make-up but I have an obsession!! I have too many, some the same colour but different brands but I just can't help myself..... 
2. What’s the one product you couldn’t live without?     Bronzer, no matter if I am wearing a full face of makeup or a minimal face I always feel that I need bronzer. I love how much it shapes your face and gives you a glow.
3. Favourite make-up brand?  MAC, as I have became more obsessed about make-up I will fall on MAC, I think their brand is very high quality! My two favourites products would have to be Natural Skin finish powder and Blush Baby blush. Although I am loving Soap and Glory at the moment, their archery eyebrow pencil and eye shadow are my favourites! 
4. How big is your make-up collection? I would say I would have quite a small makeup collection compared to others, It is however growing.. 
5. And how do you like to store it? I have  a makeup table in my room which has one full drawer plus I purchased a clear holder of Amazon which I store my every day/popular makeup..
6. How many items of make-up have you got in your handbag at the moment? Since I have been working  I don't carry a lot of makeup but my average makeup bag consists of a Mini sample of Clique Redness Solutions Makeup, Benefit bad girl lash mini, 3 collection 2000 concealer haha, Rimmel Powder, and MUA bronzer. 
7. If you could raid another blogger’s stash, who would it be? I would have to say Zoe for one reason, her Zoeva brush collection. The rose gold brushes are beautiful and Zoe seems to have quite a lot...

8. How long does your usual make-up routine take and how many products do you use? Depending on the day and where I am going it can take me 15 mins- an hour and a half! Normally if i am going out then I like to take my time and pretend I'm some sort of youtubers ahahah
9.  Have you ever bought make-up knowing you wouldn’t use it?
   At the moment I'm in between whether I can pull of Miley Cyrus Viva Glam Lipstick, it's quite bright and I'm not sure if I will suit it but I can give it a go..
10. Tag a few other make-up addicts to do the tag!
    Who ever reads this!!
