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)!

Perfume Power! - Taylor Swift 'Wonderstruck'

Photo: HerWorldPlus.com I actually received this as a free sample size (1.2ml), but I decided to do a review anyway, because you get enough of the scent to be able to give it a proper review, like you would a bottle size. * Click here to see what the sample looks like * The bottle design looks very pretty and definitely something I would love to have. The charms around the neck also look lovely, but MissBudgetBeauty bought it in 30ml and it didn’t have the charms, so the charms must be exclusive to the bigger sizes, which is a shame seeing as though I tend to buy 30ml, unless I really love the scent. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Freesia, Green Tea, Blackberry, Raspberry & Apple Blossom Middle Notes: Vanilla, Honeysuckle & Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Amber & Peach It does smell really nice and not as young as you would expect, it reminds me of a fruitier Loverdose by Diesel, without the liquorice. I can smell the peach, raspberry...

BPERFECT Cosmetics X Stacey Marie Carnival Palette

I’ve had this palette for a little while now and I am interested in buying the newest version, Carnival III: Love Tahiti . I thought I would let you know what I thought of the original Carnival Palette. Stacey Marie is a makeup artist. I had actually never heard of her before I bought this palette! THE PACKAGING The palette is quite large and it is made out of black cardboard with a rectangular shape. It has bright colour powdery imagery all-over as the design. It also has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The square powder pans are arranged on a black base with the shade names printed underneath each pan in a white font. The highlighters are to the left and the eyeshadows to the right. There is also a mirror. THE POWDERS & FORMULA You get twenty-four eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME) and Shimmer (S) finishes and two shimmery highlighters. The net weight of this palette is 48g. ·      ...

Perfume Power! - Soap & Glory™ 'Eau De Soap & Glory'

I bought this because I already had the first Soap & Glory perfume and I really loved the Mist You Madly line scent. The bottle is cuboid shaped and made of opaque black glass. It has a regular perfume spritzer and the cap is clear plastic and T shaped with a pink woollen sash wrapped around the base. On the front of the bottle there is a pink foiled sticker with the Soap & Glory logo. The fragrance notes are:- Bergamot, Cassis, Magnolia, Freesia, Vanilla & Musk This perfume is a strong florally and musky scent. It is quite sweet, but not overpowering. The bottle is also a classic design, so you can re-use as decoration if you peel the sticker off the front. It is the Formula 2 scent, which is what some of Soap & Glory products smell like (The Daily Smooth, Clean Girls, Mist You Madly etc.). I can really smell the bergamot, freesia and musk. It has a sort of masculine smell and does last for a while on your skin. It is a must have if you love the Mist...
