Quick Couscous

Red pepper couscous for 1
 

Any time I want something healthy, really quick and filling, I always go for couscous seen as it only takes about 5 minutes.
 

Ingredients

Half a cup of couscous to a full cup of boiling water (depending on how much you want)

1 - 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil

Half a small onion

1 small pepper

1 garlic clove

1 small chilli

2 tsp Balsamic vinigar

Salt

Pepper

1/2 tsp Paprika

1 tsp dried Oregano

1 tsp dried Coriander

Parmazan

First of all boil the kettle.  Put the couscous into a bowl and pour the boiling water on top cover with a dish and leave until needed. 

Dice the onion, chilli, garlic and the pepper into small cubes.  Sometimes I like to add a few olives and cherry tomatoes, if you want to, dice these small too and get rid of the tomato seeds.

In a frying pan heat up the olive oil, add the onions and chilli, sautée until the onions are almost soft and add the garlic, pepper, seasonings and salt and pepper to taste, stir and add the balsamic. Cook for a couple more minutes.  Grate in some parmazan, add the couscous and stir until it is covered with the all the lovely flavor.

All done!

I like to grate a little bit of parmazan on too or if I have it I add a dollop of cream cheese or cottage cheese.

Happy eating!

Topshop makeup

I recently scribed to ELLE magazine and with the subscription I received a free gift of some Topshop makeup and nail varnish.

It did take a while to get to me but the Make up is really good.

Bronzer

The bronzer in "mohawk" is brilliant, not too dark but obviously when more is applied, the heavier the look. I would buy it again when this runs out.

Lipstick



I do like this lipstick in "whimsical" even though its not really a colour that suits me, I would wear it from time to time but it wouldnt be a go to, plus I prefer matte lipstick and this one is slightly oily. I think that this one will be a gift for my sister.

Eyeliner

From what I have used of this "Magic Liner" it doesnt really stay on for that long I find myself re applying quite a bit unless I use a eye shaddow first, which gives the eyeliner something to grab on to which stays on for longer.

Glow

I really like this Glow highlighter in "Gleam". It gives you a really nice light bronzed glow and looks really natural, I'm glad this came and when it runs out I will definatly be buying it again. 





Nail Varnish

I do find that Topshop nailvarnish does chip quite alot from this and other experiences with topshop nail varnish. But I still buy them for the variety of lovely colours and I suppose it stays on for the night or day you need it for.
