Graze - Box #1

Use this code for a FREE box: 3L3RDY3 (you must not already be a member to use this code) http://www.graze.com/

Graze is a website where you can purchase a weekly snack box, which contains healthy treats, such as, nuts and crackers. I say weekly but you can order as many as you want a week, apart from boxes are not sent for or on Sundays. Also if you want the fresh bread you can only order from Tuesday to Saturday. You get four different food items in every box unless you state you want the same thing to be sent out again.
The package came this morning in a biodegradable recycled board box. When you open the box there are four sections and each has a packet of healthy food samples. Underneath the sections there is a napkin. Each food comes in a small plastic box/packet, with a plastic film lid, which you peel to open. You also get a healthy food guide and some offer vouchers for your friends. All of the packaging is recyclable, so it is very earth friendly. I quite like the packaging because it is simple and displays all of the relevant information, but is also fully recyclable, which is definitely a bonus point.

Here’s what I received....
And a closer look at all four....
Lightly Toasted Pistachios
“Slightly toasted whole pistachios”
http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1008/nuts

They smell like they usually do, lovely. And they don’t really taste any different to regular pistachios, but slightly saltier, which is really nice.

Contains: Pistachio nuts and salt
Naked Goodness Seeds
“Pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds”
http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1011/seeds

They smell like seeds obviously, and slightly like uncooked rice seed. They do not taste very nice on their own, as it is like eating bird food, so I recommend that you use them in a salad.

Contains: Pumpkins seeds, Sesame seeds and Sunflower seeds
Cracking Black Peppercorn
“Crunchy rice crackers with cracked black pepper”
http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1014/crackers

They smell really nice and like black pepper and very crackery (if that’s a word). They actually smell quite spicy too. They taste a bit like ‘Snack a Jacks’ but spicy. As you take the last bite of the cracker you get the spicy black pepper taste all at once, which is actually quite pleasant.

Contains: Rice, Vegetable oil, Soy sauce (soybean, wheat, salt), Sugar, Tapioca starch, Corn maltodextrin, Chilli, black pepper, Garlic powder and Onion powder
Cheddar Gorge
“Cheese cashews, salsa corn sticks & herb crackers”
http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1014/crackers

The packet as a whole smells really spicy.

The cheese cashews have a slight and subtle cheesy scent and taste a bit like cream cheese sauce.

The salsa corn sticks smell like really spicy corn, funnily enough! They taste spicy and quite salty too and also like salted tortilla chips/crisps.

The herb crackers have a slight herb scent, but it’s not over powering. They taste a bit odd and like herbs and the texture is also quite weird and a bit like popcorn, but they are nice.

The Cheese Cashews Contain: Cashew nuts, Lactose, Salt, Natural flavourings, Onion powder, Sugar, Yeast extract, Garlic powder, Cheese powder (cheese, whey powder), Paprika, Curcumin, Sunflower oil and Rosemary
The Salsa Corn Sticks Contain: Corn, Vegetable oil, Lactose, Natural chilli flavour, Chilli powder, Onion powder, Garlic powder, Salt and Citric acid

The Herb Crackers Contain: Rice, Rice bran oil, Sugar, Tapioca starch, Soy sauce (soybean, wheat, tapioca starch, caramel), Salt, Tomato, Oregano, Onion, Pepper, Disodium guanylate and Disodium inosinate

My favourites from the box are the Lightly Toasted Pistachios, Cracking Black Peppercorns and the Salsa Corn Sticks. I would not try the Naked Goodness Seeds again because I am not crazy about seeds or salad and they don’t really serve any purpose to me.

Serial Sampler #39

I have another perfume sample to share today. Again, I can’t remember how long I have had this one, but I know I haven’t smelled it before. I always mean’t to test it sooner, but didn’t for reason, so now is the time!   It is Olympéa by Paco Rabanne and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ The divine perfume with a fresh oriental signature; it’s sparkling green tangerine top notes reveal a unique salty vanilla accord. Then it’s addictive heart of captivating jasmine and ginger Lilly scents unveils a sensual ambergris and cashmere wood base ” Launched: 2015   Type: Oriental Floral / Feminine Notes Top: Water Jasmine, Green Mandarin and Ginger Flower. Middle: Vanilla and Salt. Base: Cashmere Wood, Ambergris and Sandalwood. I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this fragrance, I assumed it would smell like an ‘old lady’ floral but I was very wrong. It smells quite sensual and it is a perfect example of a deep oriental floral scent. I can really s...

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shi...

HUDA BEAUTY The New Nude Palette

I currently own all four of the big HUDA BEAUTY palettes, and I fell for the colour story of this one as soon as I saw it. The designs for the bigger palettes always look stunning! THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple and made of nude pink cardboard, but it has Huda’s face on the front. Huda’s eyes are closed and it looks like she is wearing a fascinator, which is covering part of her face. The palette has a magnetic closing and you just lift it up to reveal the mirror and square eyeshadow pans. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen eyeshadows with a net weight of 19.7g in Matte (M), Reflective (R), Glitter (G), Pressed Pearl (PP) and Cream Base (CB) finishes. ·         Insane Pigmentation ·         Flatter any skin tone ·         Cruelty-Free   THE SHADES & SWATCHES Stripes Double 18 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Bare - soft pinky peach ...
