Real Techniques Sculpting Brush Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

Being the massive Real Techniques fan that I am I've taken it upon myself to try and collect every brush that Pixiwoo's Sam and Nic Chapman release. I've been lusting after their new Sculpting Brush for a while now and have featured it in numerous wish list post's over the last couple of months or so, so I'm super happy that I finally have it my life to review for you all today.
The Real Techniques Sculpting Brush* (£9.99) is going to be a contour lovers dream, it's been made especially to help accentuate bone structure and enhance facial features for that contoured, defined look. The bristles of the Sculpting Brush are quite dense and are shaped into a narrow oval shape, this makes it so effective for contouring as it fits right into the hollows of the cheek, around the jaw line and down the sides of the nose perfectly. Like most Real Techniques brushes the Sculpting Brush can be used in multiple ways, I've personally been using it mostly for foundation application and have been obsessed with the results. It leaves the same finish on the skin as the Real Techniques Buffing Brush does when used with liquid foundation and is so easy to blend with and really gets in those harder to reach areas because of it's shape. Contouring is something I'm only just getting really into and I find the Sculpting brush really does make this easier for me, I'd highly recommend this brush to any beginners in the contouring world like myself.
The Sculpting Brush is actually from the ‘Your Finish’ collection of Real Techniques brushes which all sport the pink the light weight aluminium handles, and also has a nice sturdy rubberised part at the bottom of the brush for easy grip and allows the brush to stand up by itself for easy storage. Like all Real Techniques Brushes the Sculpting Brush has super soft, hand cut. ultra plush synthetic taklon bristles which can be used with cream, liquid and powder products and are all 100% cruelty free which is a major plus. 
Overall I'm in absolute love with the Sculpting Brush and it's quickly become one of my all time favourites from Real Techniques, I've even just bought the Limited Edition Sculpting Set from Superdrug because I love this brush so much and not only wanted another one but wanted the other brushes in the sculpting collection too. You really cant beat Real Techniques brushes for price and quality can you, they are such reliable brushes that always perform brilliantly and wash up as good as new.

Have you bought the Sculpting Brush yet beaut's?? What did you think?? I'd love to know!!

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.
