May Degustabox Review + Discount Code

Hey beaut's!

I have a subscription box review for you all today but it's a subscription box with a difference.... it contains yummy food and drink, so say hello to Degustabox*. Degustabox works very much like how beauty subscription boxes work, for £12.99 a month (postage included within the £12.99 price) you will receive 9 to 14 surprise food/drink products, many that are completely new to the market! So if your abit of a foodie like myself  and you love subscription boxes your going to love this beaut's!

 Anywhooo onto what yummy treats I received in my May Degustabox...

Sweet Baby Ray's Honey Barbecue Sauce £2.99

I'm obsessed with BBQ Sauce and I have to say this one by Sweet Baby Ray's is amazing!!! It has a sweet and smokey blend which is so tasty and it's ideal for using as either a marinade for your meat or just as a dipping sauce for your chips and wedges. 

Schwartz Marinade In A Bag £2.19

I love the idea of these Schwartz Marinade In A Bag, it's just so easy to use and creates no mess at all. All you have to do is pop your meat or fish into the bag for 30 minutes and then it will be ready to sizzle in the oven or BBQ! Their are 6 yummy flavours to choose from but I received Honey & Soy flavour which I cant wait to use as I imagine it will make all the meat sticky and just delish!

9 Bar 'Fruity' £2.00

9 Bars are something I'm quite familiar with because I buy them alot when grocerie shopping, they are amazing if your like me and love to snack throughout the day but don't want to eat rubbish that's really bad for you. The 'Fruity' is stacked with nutritious seeds, dried apricots and dates and is then topped with carob which is used as a substitute for chocolate but tastes just the same, yum!

Daelmans Stroopwafels £2.00

Wow these waffles are tasty! They have the most amazing creamy, caramel filling and taste the best when they have been warmed for a minute or two over a hot beverage. If you like sweet waffles and caramel sauce you'll love these that's for sure. 

Fuel 10k Protibrick £2.69

The FUEL 10K Protibrick's are the first protein boosted wheat biscuits ever, they are high in fibre, low in both sugar and fat and are slightly bigger that your average wheat biscuits and have the ability to keep you feeling fuller which all sounds very good to me. After trying the FUEL 10K Protibrick's I have to say they taste extremely similar to wheatabix but did keep me feeling full, alot more so than when I eat regular wheatabix so I'm actually really impressed with these.

Green Coco Juice with Banana 80p

 I love banana's a fruit but I actually hate banana flavoured things so I wasn't really looking forward to giving this and try and actually I have to admit my taste buds absolutely hates this, uhhh it was yukky! However if you like banana flavoured drinks then this will be right up your street but for me personally I didn't enjoy this. 

Slim Pasta Lasagne £2.49

This Slim Pasta Lasagne is a low in calorie alternative to to regular lasagne that lets you savour your favourite lasagne dishes whilst keeping you on track for weight loss success. It's practicly free from everything and sounds bizarre but amazing all at the same time so I cant wait to try this and see if it's still really tasty.

Maggi So Stir Fry x2 £1.49

I'm always cooking Stir Fry's so this range of Maggi noodles goes down an absolute treat with me and both of these wont last in my house for long that for sure. Both flavours I received contain full recipe's of what other food you need to add to the noodles to make the perfect stir fry noodle dish which is always helpful and makes cooking dinner super quick and easy.

Sarsons Balsamic Vinegar £2.00

Balsamic vinegar is an essential for me because I love my salads so I always use it so it was nice to have another bottle to stock up in my cupboard, I find it just so useful for making yummy salad dressings and you can make homemade pesto with it to.

Overall I love Degustabox, I think it's such a great take on a subscription box, I love the whole element of a food surprise and getting excited about what meals or cakes I can whip together, it's fab! You can find Degustabox on Twitter and Facebook for more information, pictures and promotions. 

Degustabox have kindly given me a discount code for all of my beautiful readers, all you have to do is pop UGVO7 into the promotional code box and you'll receive a £3.00 discount when registering. And don't worry beaut's, theres no commitments with Degustabox meaning you can cancel your subscription free of charge before the 10th of any month, but I mean why would you cancel monthly surprise treats ha ha!

What do you think of the Degustabox concept beaut's?? I'd love to know your thoughts.

May Glossybox Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

So its that time again... Glossybox time!!! This month Glossybox have been getting into the Summer mood and have bought us a 'Summer's Calling' themed box with the promise of three full size products and two samples. I must admit I wasn't blown away by this months contents, but next months box is going to be festival and summer inspired apparently so I'm definitely going to stay subscribed so see what Junes box holds. 

 Anywhoo lets see what I received inside my May Glossybox...

MeMeMe Enchanted Eyes Dual Ended Eye Wand in Midnight Storm | Full Size | £6.95

Blue eyeliner is a key trend for Spring 2015 so this dual ended eyeshadow stick is all you need to achieve that look. One end of the eyeshadow stick is a deep metallic blue shade and the other is a metallic turquoise shade, both of which do contain some minute glitter sparkles but nothing too over the top. The texture and consistency of the eyeshadow stick is lovely,  its very light and creamy which can be blended without much difficulty at all. The only downside for me with this is that the shade is very wearable for me because I'm stuck in my neutral ways and would of loved it to have been gold or bronze, never the less I'll still give a go somehow as the formula seems gorgeous!

Collection Field Day Lipstick in Pink Rose | Full Size | £2.99

Collection recently launched their new Field Day range and I've been dying to try something from that range so I'm super happy to have one of the lipsticks to try. I received the shade 'Pink Rose' which is a gorgeous pastel pink shade with a matte finish, it's the perfect colour for daytime wear during Spring and I cant wait to start using it.

Etre Belle Aloe Vera Ultra Moisturising Gel | Full Size | £15.93

The Etre Belle Aloe Vera Ultra Moisturising Gel seems perfect for using in the summer months or whilst your away on holiday as it not only soothes the skin but cools and hydrates too. It has a watery gel consistency that's very easy to work with, all you have to do is apply a sufficient amount to face and neck in upwards motions and voila... You'll have soothed skin before you know it.

Zerreau Towel Off Shampoo Foam | Sample | £7.95  for Full Size

Now this sounds interesting and claims to be the next generation of dry shampoo, ohhhhh! The Zerreau Towel Off Shampoo is in foam form not a spray like usual dry shampoo's, to use all you have to do it pump out a generous amount of the foam onto your hand and then massage it in directly on your scalp to lift the dirt and grease, immediately remove the foam with a towel by using a towel drying motion. I have used the foam once so far and did like the results, it smelt lovely just like sweet apples and left my hair shiny and refreshed with no stickiness so I'm looking forward to working with this more. 

SASS Intimate Perfect Skin Concentrate | Sample | £12.00 for Full Size

The SASS Intimate Perfect Skin Concentrate is a skin treatment to use post-shave or post-wax to soothe the skin and reduce hair regrowth. It contains salicylic acid and fruit enzymes which delicately exfoliate to ensure ingrown hairs are a thing of the past. I love the sound of this product and cant wait to give it a go, anything to help prep my legs for exposure in the warmer months is good to me!

 What did you think of this month's box beaut's?? I'd love to know.
