Degusta Box August 2016

Here is this months Degusta box as always I feature the Degusta food subscription box every month, so here is Augusts box.

Tabasco Sauce £1.99- This is a sweet and sticky BBQ sauce perfect for marinating chicken, especially ribs but is also good to use just as a sauce. It has a very rich flavour that is very strong and smoky but if your a BBQ fan you will love this. This is available at both Tesco and Asda.

Clipper Tea £1.59
This is a green tea that gives off a very light and subtle taste compared to a lot of green teas or so I'm told as if you've read my blog for a while you will know I don't drink any hot drinks at all!

Aromatic Thai Noodles £2.49/Moroccan Couscous Nutripot £2.49
How handy are these little pots, perfect for work or college or just generally on the go. What is great about these posts is that they provide 50% of your daily vitamins which is impressive for a pot this size.

Dorset Cereals Bircher Muesli £3.49
Using tired fruit and its to create a creamy muesli this doesn't disappoint, it is one of my favourite muesli I have ever tried. I love little touches like this free spoon with the box it makes the experience with the brand that little bit better.

Get More Multivitamins £1.45
These are a range of multivitamin drinks in different flavours providing natural flavours with no added sugar. I received the lemon & lime flavour which was very light and refreshing.

Oloves £1.00
Personally I don't like olives but how much is this little packaging, again perfect for on the go. These are seasoned with chilli and oregano and are low in calories.

Mahou Cinco Estrellas £1.20
Estrella is a premium larger from Madrid, if you ever go on holiday in Spain which i recently have you will notice its is their choice of beer. It is a lovely tasting beer, with a mild taste to it.

Geetas Curry Paste £1.00

Willy Chase Fit Corn £2.19 
Willy Chase popcorn comes in a variety of flavours, i recived the goats cheese red onion & time flavour. I love popcorn and I loved this popcorn, it tastes very strong in onion flavour but I really enjoyed them.

Rakusen's Snackers £1.29/ £1.49
If you know me then you will know I'm a big snacker an I knew these would be something that I would love, they come in a gluten free pack which is amazing for those who are intolerant to gluten. I added a little butter to these and they were the perfect snack.

Timeless Truth- Face Masks

Timeless Truth are online company selling face masks, they literally have such a wide range of them for all different skin types and to help a range of skin problems out there. I accidentally asked for the wrong one being stupid as i am but i tried it out anyway because it sounded equally amazing my sister however did receive the one i wanted which was the Charcoal mask and loved it, she will have a review up on here blog here. 

The mask I reviewed is the TT Herbal Rejuvenation Immortelle Mask which aims to minimise lines and ageing using hyaluronic acid. If your worried about the acid I can assure you its fine, I have very sensitive skin and have eczema and this is fine for me. You are told to leave this on the skin for around 15-20 minutes which i did and straight away I could tell the difference it left my skin feeling all soft and literally looked so clear and glowing. No face mask has ever left my skin feeling as good as these I am genuinely so impressed by them. 

I was also sent the Hydra Intense Bio Cellulose Eye Mask, these are meant to reduce the dryness around the eyes and also puffiness whilst generally hydrating the eyes. These felt amazing on my eyes, I felt as though they not only brightened but all made the area under my eyes feel a lot smoother and softer!

Born Pretty Store

I recently got the opportunity to review some items from Born Pretty Store. For anyone who hasn't heard of Born Pretty Store, its basically a online store selling absolutely everything you could possibly think of in one shop from stationary to nail art to clothes and jewellery they have it all.

I decided to pick some jewellery, you may have see previously I selected some stationary so I'm slowly but surely making my way through all the categories on there. Now I selected four rings and one pair of earrings, which are all so reasonably priced

The first ring I got is this V ring, I used to see these everywhere a while ago and I love them I think they can make quite the statement to quite a plain outfit. This is available in silver and in gold for 70p! You can find it here.
Next is this waved ring which I love but could kick myself as its the wrong way round on the picture as it has rhinestones all over it, I actually think this is my favourite of them all and its literally priced at £2.59. You can find it here. Ow and for all you rose gold lovers, its also available in rose gold. The next ring is very similar and has rhinestones scattered, I like both the waved rings worn on the same finger. This is avaliable in gold and is priced at 91p!!
The last ring I got was this star ring, how cute is it as you can tell I love silver rings and this is no exception, this one is no longer available on the website but I'm sure you will find so many rings you love if you have a look.
Overall sizing of these rings were perfect for me, some of the things you are able to adjust where as some you are not but I would say they do come up at about a size small.

Lastly is the earrings, I love these, you don't actually see the gold colour from the front you just see one pearl on its own then it has all the other pearls underneath the ear lobe, it looks adorable and so much more than the 70p which it costs!! You can find them here. 

I have a 10% discount code for you all too: HYYT10

Spectrum Brushes - 10 Piece Essential Set

I was literally so excited to recieve a email that Spectrum wanted to work with me as its one of them brands I always look at and put something in my basket and be like oh no I shouldn't, I am trying to save so as you can imagine when these arrived in the post I literally was so happy.

This is from the attention seeker range and is the 10 piece essential set, this stet includes the following:
*Buffer brush
*Powder Brush (domed)
*Angled Brush
*Concealer Brush
*Fluffy Shader Brush
*Tapered Blender Brush
*Angled Blender Brush
*Angled Brow Brush
*Lip Liner Brush
*Angled Eyeliner Brush

This set comes to a total of £39.99 for 10 brushes which basically works out at £5 per brush which is super cheap. Lets talk about the pattern of these brushes, how cute are they? Literally like a unicorn. Also these are vegan and cruelty free so bonus.

Now onto the brushes them selves, on first feel of them they are very very soft on the skin and they literally feel amazing they apply my makeup great without leaving any stroke marks at all. My favourite of them all has to the buffer brush i use this to apply my contour and buff it into the skin, and its does just that really well, I've found with other brushes previously they don't buff the product in as much as i would like so this has become a fond favourite of mine already. Another favourite of mine is the angled brush, I have been using this for my highlighter and it applies it really well and this too has become a fond favourite of mine that I now use everyday.

Overall I'm very impressed by these brushes most of these (apart from the eye brushes because i don't use them daily) have become part of my daily routine and i would 100% recommend these to anyone they are such quality for the price. You find this set here.

Propercorn

Proper corn very kindly sent me some popcorn and when i opened the very colourful treasure chest like box and it had so many packets in it I was like woahhh! There were so many flavours that i had never heard of before too so I was very excited to try out these new flavours, i KK five different flavours to try including:

Lightly Sea Salted- These were as they said only lightly salted they weren't strong in flavour really just tasted like there was a sprinkle of salt over the packet but still pleasant as a light bite.

Sour Cream & Black Pepper- These were my second favourite out them all, the black pepper was quite prominent in this flavour and the sour cream gave a creamy flavour to them there just so nice and so different to any popcorn that I have ever tried before.

Sweet & Salty- This is my favourite flavour its more sweet than salty but you can taste the bitterness of the salt coming through and it makes the nicest flavour, I'm literally eating these as I am writing this, literally these are my new obsession I would go as far as to say that its better than the popcorn you get in the cinema.

Sweet Coconut & Vanilla- Straight away opening this packet you smell the flavour its very strong in both flavour which an be a bit overpowering but both flavours come through to great a really nice combination.

Fiery Worcester & Sun-Dried Tomato- This one is as you would expect very strong in tomato flavour, but the Worcester gives it almost a heat and makes it spicy in a weird way but it works well together.

Smooth Peanut & Almond- the peanut flavour is definitely the most dominate flavour in this packet as the almond helps to keep it a kick but definitely is very strong in flavour. Again this one has a very creamy flavour to it.

Overall there would be two of the flavours I would 100% buy again because I love which are the Sweet & Salty and the Sour Cream & Black Pepper as they are amazing and I would definitely recommend.

Believa- Cleansing Milk

This Believa cream is a cleansing milk, this is a gentle cream that can be used on cracked, itchy and dry skin, with me having eczema I thought it would  be great for me to try this out. 

I have been using this as a moisturiser twice a day once in the morning and once in the night as I have to keep my skin moisturised at all times to keep my eczema at bay. I have to say that its as good as my Dermol moisturiser that I use on a daily basis, it leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and moisturised as it should even though I don't have eczema on my face I have been using it on face as a daily moisturiser similarly twice a day and it leaves my face feeling amazing so soft and refreshed. 

The only thing I will say about this product it probably isn't the cheapest on the market as although its priced at £15.99 this is only for a 250ml bottle. 

Overall I would definitely recommend this cream, to anyone with or without a skin condition as it leaves your skin feeling amazing.
