Graze - Box #17

I received this box on Tuesday 21st July and it was yellow this time. My last box was blue so I am guessing it will be a different colour each time. The very old Graze boxes were just plain brown.

Here is what I received this time:-
Sweet Mustard Pretzel
- Sour cream and onion cashews, pretzel bites and mustard breadsticks (129kcal)
| Contains: Sesame Seeds, Gluten, Mustard, Milk & Tree Nuts |
The sour cream and onion cashews are not very nice in my opinion. They are quite sour, a little vinegary and then sweet. The pretzel bites are very nice and are only very slightly salted in taste. I love pretzels anyway! The mustard breadsticks do taste kind of sweet, the mustard isn’t too strong and I wouldn’t say that they taste spicy at all.
Lemon & Poppy Seed Cake with an Afternoon Blend
- Zingy lemon & poppy seed cake, paired with an afternoon infusion tea (79kcal)
| Contains: Gluten & Eggs |
I have had this packet before and it is my favourite Graze cake. It isn’t too lemon strong; I actually wish it tasted more lemony! The poppy seeds just add a little texture to the sponge. I’m still not overly keen on the tea as it smells herby and tastes like regular black tea with a kind of fruit kick. I find that black tea tastes dry and it is not for me. Flavoured/special teas are wasted on me; I only really like regular tea (Typhoo or PG Tips) with one sugar and a little semi-skimmed cow’s milk.
Smokehouse Veggie Protein Power
- Sweet chilli broad beans, hickory smoked almonds, almonds & roasted pumpkin seeds (171kcal)
| Contains: Tree Nuts, Soya & Gluten |
This is also a new packet to me, but I have obviously tried some of the snacks before in different packets. The sweet chilli broad beans have a slight crunch. They don’t have a really strong taste, they do taste sweet and you get the after taste of chilli, but I wouldn’t say they actually taste of chilli. The hickory smoked almonds are delicious, I got them in a packet in my last box and the regular plain almonds in this packet don’t really have much flavour. I definitely prefer the hickory smoked version. The roasted pumpkin seeds are very light and they do taste salty.
Spicy Sriracha Crunch
- Sriracha flavoured peas, salted corn & salted corn hoops (115kcal)
This too is a new packet that I haven’t tried before. The sriracha peas are quite crunchy. I have never have sriracha before and I can say from tasting these peas, I am not really a fan!. They do have a bit of spice, but it is bearable (I’ve had hotter curries). They also taste garlicky, which is why I am not a fan. These are a definite no and pass! I love salted corn, need I say more? The salted corn hoops taste nearly exactly the same as the salted corn, just less sweet. This was an ok packet, but I didn’t enjoy the peas.
There seemed to be something I didn’t really enjoy from each packet I received this time! I didn’t like the sour cream and onion cashews or sriracha peas and I wasn’t overly keen on the afternoon infusion tea or the roasted pumpkin seeds. I still enjoyed my packets overall and I am glad I got a cake. I can’t wait for my next box. I really want to try a Graze Cookie packet (fingers crossed)!

Yesterday I picked up the new edition of Glamour Magazine, well three copies of them actually! It is the July 2013 edition and you get a choice of five free MODEL CO products and four different magazine covers ( Rebel Wilson , Zooey Deschanel , Myleene Klass & Daniel Radcliffe ). I have never heard of the MODEL CO brand before, but judging by their website, they are marketed as high end. I’m not sure what size the items in the magazines are, but I have listed the full sizes and prices below.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Riviera Palette

This palette has been around for a while now and I always thought it looked stunning, but I just didn’t buy it. I recently decluttered my make-up collection and I allowed myself to get this palette (I almost bought the Amrezy one instead). I didn’t know it was still available and I found it purely by chance. I thought when it was first released it was classed as a limited edition product! The packaging is the usual ABH slim rectangle shape and it is wrapped in a sort of sparkly blue and white striped denim material. The palette and brad names are printed in a sparkly gold font. The palette has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. There is a small mirror and the square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a metallic azure blue base, with the shade names printed in a small gold font. You can purchase this palette for £46.00 ($57.00) from AnastasiaBeverlyHills.co.uk, AnastasiaBeverlyHills.com and FeelUnique.com. You get fourteen 0.73g eyes...
