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.

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...
