almond,
kallo



So here is another Degusta Box, i say this every time i write one of these posts; Degusta box are a monthly subscription service that send out a box of food of different varieties every month.

So lets get into what i got this month, firstly was this chocolate. This chocolate is personalised and said "Thank you from db" i literally thought this was the cutest thing ever, the people at Degusta had included this to say thank you for working with them, they literally are the nicest people i have ever worked with and i thought this was so thoughtful.

Pechkeks Fortune cookies £1.00
These are such an unusual product, not because they are fortune cookies but the fact they are actually black? i don't know about you but these are the only black fortune cookies I've ever seen i think its so bizarre but yet so cool! Also these cookies give you a fortune that is quite direct and more truthful.

Pomegreat drink £1.49
This juice is very sweet in taste just like pomegreats so it was what i was expecting, this drink is lovely in the sunny weather as its very refreshing and fruity.

The wonderful company 0.90p
This month featured brand the wonderful company, the products from this brand were almond and pistachios, theres not much to be said about these really they were both very nice and tasty according to my mum because i actually don't each nuts!

Beloved Dates £3.50
This date nectar is gluten, dairy and wheat free which is amazing! This makes great toppings for things like porridge and wheatabix and alls things like waffles and pancakes. This has a very sweet taste to it as you would expect.

Get Fruity £1.00
This is a fruit and oats bar, that are 100% natural. I received the strawberry flavour. These were very tasty and the flavour was quite strong, not too strong it was nice because it was very flavory.

Cranes £1.00
This is a 4% alcoholic that is made from crushed cranberries, as you can imagine this is very sweet but its so nice for the sunny weather as theres nothing better than a fruity drinks and bonus its very low in calories.

Jack Daniels £1.99
This is a honey barbecue glaze infused with the flavours of Jack Daniels. This is great for putting over ribs as it creates a sticky sweet sauce, this can also be used on burgers, wings, wedges etc.. This is available at Tesco!

Giveaway, competition


I recently received this chocolate as a thank you for working Degusta Box, which i was surprised at and i thought it was so cute and kind of them to put this in this months box.

Anyway on to the actual chocolate, this chocolate is made by a company called Morse Toad, if you haven't heard of them before they are a online site were you are able to personalise chocolate and there are also a range of ready made designs if you like them too! The thing i love about this is the attention to detail, even down to a little card insert where you are able to add your own image and add a personalised message to the card which i think is adorable!! You are able to create a design with up to 4 rows of chocolate inside which is 44 characters, so you can fit something quite lengthy in there!!
One last thing i love about this is that you can get it sent right to your recipients door without any hassle at all!

Farfetch Wishlist

22 May 2016

I have put together a wishlist from FarFetch based on the idea of a Paris holiday. 

For anyone that doesn't know Farfetch is a fashion boutique that has over 400 fashion boutiques. The boutique features designer and highly fashionable clothing, shoes, accessories and makeup/skincare. 
There website is amazing i literally fell in love with so many things but i have put together this Wishlist like mentioned earlier based on the idea of traveling to Paris. 
As i see Paris as a very fashionable yet classy city i picked some very classy dresses that i would love to wear of a night with a red shoe and lip to match. Also to add to the look i would pair a classy Chloe bag. 
For the day time look i would keep it cool and simple but yet still classy with the gorgeous light blue shorts paired with a white top and some sandals.

Top 4 Lipsticks..

17 May 2016


I thought id put together my top 4 lipsticks, these are the lipsticks i wear the most and always look for in my collection. As I'm writing this post I've taken the first picture and forgot to do swatches by the time your reading this you will see if i was lazy and didn't include them or i actually went and took them.
The first lipstick from this picture is the Ciate lipstick from there limited edition collection with Olivia Palmero in shade Praline. First of all isn't the packaging really cute? I love little details like the bow on the lipstick and there is also one on the top of the lid. This lipstick is a satin finish lipstick, its so sooo soft and creamy and has such a good colour pay off. I love the colour of this, i tend not to wear this on a everyday basis but on more of a special occasion. You can still get these here from Feel Unique.

The next lipstick is by Mac, my favourite brand for not everything but definitely for lipsticks. This shade is Whirl, i received this as a christmas present having wanting it for some time and i love it, its one of those lipsticks that suits my skin tone which i find hard with darker lipsticks as I'm very pale. There isn't much else i can say about these really as i have no negatives about mac lispticks, i love the matt range and i think its actually the only range i own as matte as you can probably tell is by far my favourite type of lipstick. 

Another mac lipstick that is my favourite is Honeylove, i think this is the perfect everyday shade it is so wearable on a day to day basis for work, college, uni, drinks etc.. It does look quite orange toned on this picture although i would say it has got a slight orange ting to it i would still class it as one of my nudes. 
Lastly is this Nyx lipstick, this lipstick was the first lipstick that i had got from Nyx haven seen this was a dupe for a mac lipstick i wanted but i cant think for the life of me what one it was. This is from Nyx Matte lipstick range in shade whipped caviar MLS15, I'm not going to lie I'm not fussed on the packaging it feel kind of cheap and plastic but for the price who can complain, not me! These are quite soft and the colour pay off is really good the only negative thing about these is that they don't last long at all, i find it needs reapplying quite frequently.If you want to get your hands on one of these i bought mine from boots for £6.50 ill leave the link here

New In: Ted Baker Sunglasses

5 May 2016
ted baker, ted baker sunglasses, sunglasses

ted baker, ted baker sunglasses, sunglasses

I thought i would share with you my new purchase, I have always loved Ted Baker even when i was younger my mum always used to buy it so i suppose its something I've inherited.  
Tortoise shell is my favourite print on sunglasses, its always the colour I go for and it was no different with this pair, i spotted these straight away and they had to be mine.
I was lucky enough to find these at the bargain price of £24.99 from Tk Max which is such a good price considering they are £150 on the Ted Baker website. We just need the sunny weather to reach the UK so i can make use of these haha!

Whats the best bargain you have ever found in Tk Max?


Degusta Box- April

29 April 2016
Its Degusta Box time again as some of you may know i get these every month from the lovely people at Degusta Box. So without further or do here is what is in the box...


smarties, milky bar,


pimms, green lady,


parle, rusk

popchips, limited edition

canderel

bebeto, fruit strip,

veetee, rice, wholegrain

The first thing i got in this months box Canderel sugar, personally i think this is amazing sugar without calories and you wouldn't even notice the difference! Although this is £3 so is more expensive than other brands but its worth it.

Next is Pimms with a hint of strawberries and cucumber, i gave this to my mum and dad as i try not to drink alcohol. They thought this would be so lovely in summer as it was very fruity and refreshing. 

Next is the Levi Roots coat 'n' cook sauce, this is one of the only things from the box that i haven't tried yet but i can imagine that this would be gorgeous over ribs.

Popchips!! I love pop chips i always have the barbecue flavour but i hadn't tried these again, these are limited edition sea salt and garlic crisp weren't as flavory as the others i have tried but they were still lovely they always seem like such light snack. These are priced at £1.99.

Rejuvenation water is another item from this month ox, this is priced at £1.99 this is full of amino acids to fuel the immune system so its water thats even better for you than normal water.

Vestee microwavable rice is my favourite rice so i was so happy to see that these were in this months box they literally are the fluffiest rice that you will find. This priced at £1.29.

This is my favourite things from this months box; Smarties sharing block and Milkybar milk & crunchy. I am a big big smarties fan and despite this i had never tried the sharing block, the smarties in the chocolate are like a little hidden surprise. The milky bars are new, again I've always been a milky bar fan but these are nicer than i thought its literally like biscuit and white chocolate mixed. 

Next is Bebeto fruit strings, i was so so intrigued by these as they were a concept id never seen before. There are 7 individual packets of different fruit flavour strings i haven't tried these but they look so interesting and smell amazing and make the perfect snack on the go. 

Next is the Parle biscuits, Parle Rusk is amazing its like french toast and is gorgeous with butter I've nearly ate the whole pack whoops... These are such good value for money too as there under £1!!

Lastly is Green Lady this is a sparkling tea, something i have never ever heard of but this uses all natural ingredients and is a healthy drink. This is something personally i don't think id like as i don't even like normal tea but it is a very interesting concept.

Review: Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector

17 April 2016

Clarins, lipperfector, lip balm, Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector, rosewood.

I thought i would review this Clarins instant light lip balm perfector as I have realised I'm always doing hauls but i never review any of the things i actually buy so that is something i wasn't to do more often. Anyway i received this as a gift from my sister from christmas having wanting it for quite some time it is available here for £18.50, mine is in shade Rosewood(eek best name ever, pll fan).

I think these are great for a everyday use as they are very sheen glossy colour rather than a stand out colour matte lip but this makes it really easy to apply and stays on your lips for a long time. The one thing i love about these is how soft and hydrated they leave your lips feeling. Another thing i love about this product is the packaging i just think it looks very sleek and you can tell that this more of luxury product well compared to a normal lip balm i would say its on the luxury side.

Overall i would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants the "your lips but better" type of look as this is perfect for of a day time.

Degusta Box

7 April 2016
Its Degusta Box time again!
This months box was the favourite box I've had in a long time. 






Brioche Pasquier £1.40
These are a new out, they contain creme patisserie, these come individually wrapped making them easy to take out with you for a snack during the day and for £1.40 you get 8 which is good value for 8. 

Weetabix On The Go £1.50
This is a breakfast drink, perfect for on the go. It works by combining all the energy and fibre that weetabix provides in this drink along with 20g extra protein. I received this in both strawberry and blackberry flavour, personally i think the strawberry is nicer but thats just my opinion,. 

Good Hemp Original Milk £1.49
This is a diary free alternative to milk, so is great for anyone who intolerant to diary especially as i always see people struggling to find a alternative that actually tastes like milk and i have to say this does a pretty good job.

Metcalfes Skinny Popcorn £1.50
I received this in flavour Cinema sweet, this is my favourite flavour of popcorn and it literally taste so so similar to cinema popcorn. Its great that it is so tasty because it has 67% less sugar than any other popcorn on the market. If you love sweet popcorn then you have to try this!

Kent's Kitchen Stuffing £1.85
This stuffing is perfect for roast dinners, personally i don't like stuffing so I'm giving this to my nan as she makes Sunday dinner for the whole family every single Sunday. This is also great because its made from all natural ingredients.  

Chewits 35p each
I love Chewits, for some reason they remind me of when i was little, they have been out for 50 years! The blackcurrant ones are my favourite they are so juicy and sweet i love love love them. 

Parle Biscuits 39&59p
This is another brand i hadn't heard of before getting this box and so far i have tried one of these packs of biscuits the hide and seek chocolate chips ones and they are lovely. Im interested to see what else this brand does as so far i like what i tried and i feel its a rea;;y reasonable price. 

Pipers Crisp £2.00
Im surprised i haven't tried these yet, because I'm a huge huge crisp fan i eat them every single day without fail which is bad i know but i love them. These crisp have won so many awards that I'm so excited to try them in the yummy cheddar and onion flavour. 

Lindt white chocolate bunny £2.50
This was my favourite thing in this months box, i love Lindt bunnies there so cute but i didn't even know they did it in white chocolate till i received this box and I'm huge huge white chocolate fan! This is the only chocolate bunny i got this year so ill cherish it haha!

Kallo Cakes £1.00 & £1.89
Kallo was a brand i had never heard of before i received this box, in the box there was multigrain cakes and rice cakes. The multi grain cakes are the perfect snack when your a bit peckish equally the rice cakes are too. The rice cakes have milk chocolate on the back of them making them that little bit sweeter but still are low calorie. 

Karyatis Crackers and dip £1.99
Karyatis is a brand looking to bring a touch of the Mediterranean to you. This product has a red pepper and tangy feta dip with rosemary crackers. This is perfect for a snack or even if you were putting together a Mediterranean inspired tea then this could be a little starter.

Naked Noodles...

1 April 2016
This month is national noodle month, I didn't even know this existed till this year and when given the opportunity to work with Naked Noodle for national noodle month i jumped at the chance as i am a huge huge noodle fan! 

nakednoodle, noodle, chow mein,




Naked Noodle challenged me to turn these snack pots into a meal, so i took on the challenge. 

I recieved a package of three snack pots; Chinese Chow Mein, Cantonese Hoisin Duck and Singapore curry there are 5 other flavours available including: Thai Sweet Chilli,, Malaysian Laksa, Thai Tom Yum, Vietnamese Beef Pho and  Japanese Teriyaki. 

For the challenge i used the Hoisin Duck flavour noodles, these were very rich in flavour and the hoisin sauce is very prominent in these noodles as it is very strong. For my challenge i added some actual duck to my noodles and i also added some chills to add a stronger and a bit spicier flavour to them and it did turn what could of been a little snack perfect for on the go and for lunches in to a substantial meal and I would definitely recommend these to anyone
