December Degustabox Review + Discount Code

Hi 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 December Degustabox...

The Chia Co Mixed Berry Oats £1.70

These Chia Co Oats are soooo good for you and taste delicious, they are made up of a blend of wholegrain oat's, finest quality mixed berries, coconut oil and they actually come with a shot of Chia seeds in a separate sachet too which can be mixed through the oats. Chia seeds are more or less tasteless but offer so much health wise, they are packed full of fibre, protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and have become super popular in health food stores recently. 

Pukka Herbs Clean Green Tea £2.39

Pukka Herbs Green Tea is said to spring clean your spirit with its fair trade clean green tea herbs, it also has a hint of Sicilian lemon in there too for a real refreshing taste. I can see this box of green tea going down a treat in the new year to help us detox after we have all over indulged at Christmas he he. 

Bahlsen Milk Chocolate and Carmel Chocolate £1.79 each

Oh my goodness these are scrummy and will go down well in my house and any other biscuit lovers house ha ha. Bahlsen make these finest continental milk chocolate biscuits with a yummy butter biscuit and oozing caramel, mmmm they so yummy!

Fry Light Infuse Garlic £2.00

Fry Light is pretty wicked stuff, it saves you using so much oil when cooking meaning less fat/grease will go into your finished meal, and now they have gone and made Infuse Oils which saves us even more time woohoo, I received the Garlic Oil option which saves all that peeling and crushing of garlic gloves but still gives that great garlic flavour all in one, what a great idea.

Popchips £1.79

Popchips sound pretty cool as they are never fried nore baked, they are actually popped with heat and pressure to make a naturally delicious crisp, oohhhh. I got a nice big sharing bag which will go down well when I'm settling down in front of the TV he he.

Bonne Maman Orange Marmalade £2.30

You cant beat abit of fancy marmalade on your toast can you ha ha, this one by Bonne Maman is made with thick shreds of orange peel and its literally packed full of flavour, its so yummy.

Gloworm x4 £6.00

The name of these little cans of drink really intrigued me, I mean Gloworm sounds so bizarre doesn't it! The little Gloworm cans are specially blended to compliment a selection of spirits but can also be enjoyed on there own over ice if you don't drink. The four flavours Gloworm stock are Raspberry & Orris which goes with Vodka, Cucumber & Apple which goes with Gin, Pear, Spice & Lime which goes with Rum and Ginger & Lemongrass which goes with Bourbon.

Eisburg Alcohol Free Wine £3.49

And lastly we have some Alcohol-Free Wine, its made in exactly the same way as the wine you love but with the alcohol removed and contains only a third of the calories, woohoo!

I did also receive another Kent's Kitchen Meal Kit which you might have seen in a post of mine a few months back but it had actually smashed in transit and had spilt out everywhere so I couldn't use it of photograph it unfortunately.

Overall I love everything in my Degustabox All in all 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 OKSV7 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.

Makeup Revolution Viper Mascara Review

 Hey beaut's!

I'm an absolute mascara addict, I honestly own about 40-50 of them because I'm always looking for that perfect mascara to make my eyes just pop, so when I received Makeup Revolutions Viper Mascara a while ago I couldn't wait to give it a go a see the results.

 Makeup Revolutions Viper Mascara* will set you back a teeny tiny £3.00 which is an amazing price for a mascara, it comes packaged in an eye catching tube that features a gorgeous snake skin design that's printed onto a luxe bronze tube, it doesn't feel or look cheap at all in my opinion. The Viper Mascara claims to be a 'Mascara with Bite' that gives you volume and lift at the same time which is exactly what I look for in a mascara, anything that opens my small eyes up is a winner.

When I opened up the mascara I was so surprised at the shape of the wand, it's so different and something I've never seen done before, It's curved but slightly diamond shaped too and is made up of natural bristles not plastic bristles. The application process of this mascara is very easy, because the wand is curved it fits the shape of my eyes/lashes perfectly which gives great ease and comfort whilst applying. I found the curve of the wand injects the volume and the lift whilst also combing through and separating the lashes and the tip/diamond shape of the wand is great for getting any hard to reach in corner lashes and great for loading up the outer corner lashes.

I'd loved the result the Viper Mascara gave me, my lashes were left lifted, curved, non clumpy and looked perfect for an everyday makeup look. The mascara lasted all day on me without flaking or smudging and I noticed it wasn't one of those mascara's that drys really hard on your lashes, which I prefer as it makes your lashes feel weightless and comfortable.

Overall I think the Viper Mascara  is a great little mascara for everyday wear and for £3.00 it's an absolute steel!

Have you tried the Makeup Revolution Viper Mascara beaut's?? What did you think?? I'd love to know.   

What I Got For Christmas 2014 ♥

Hey beaut's!!!

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, sorry I've abit quiet lately, I've been really poorly with the flu (which I'm still getting over now) so I really haven't had the energy to even turn my computer on let alone write a blog post which has been so annoying. Anyway today I thought I'd join in on the 'What I Got For Christmas' bandwagon, personally I love reading these type of posts and seeing what lovely gifts everyone receives, I know this is abit of a love/hate post so I just want to add a little disclaimer that in no way am I bragging/ showing off, I'm a super lucky lady to receive all the lovely gifts I got and I really am grateful and thankful!!! Anywhoo lets get going...

These are a few stocking fillers from my Mum and Dad, they know I'm really into the Youtubers Tanya Burr and Zoella so my Mum done well to remember and popped a couple of their goodies into my stocking he he.

I'm in love with Cheryl so I was super happy that I got her perfume gift set for Christmas, it smells extremely floral and oddly tropical too but it works really well and I absolutely love it!

 Michael's parents know how much I love a good ole Lush bath so his Mum picked me out a few individual bath bombs and bubble bars for their Christmas range, I was so happy to see the Candy Mountain bubble bar as that's one of my all time favourites.

 Michael also joined in a bought me this Christmas Candy Box from Lush containing the amazing Snow Fairy shower gel, Candy Mountain bubble bar, Rock Star soap and the cute little Butter Bear bath bomb. I don't have the pretty box or wrapping for this as I immediately ripped it all open with excitement to see what was inside ha ha.

 Some more things from my stocking that Micheal kindly bought me! I had been going on and on about how much I wanted to use my SensatioNail Gel Manicure Set again but I had used up all of the products in the essentials kit that I had, had before (I was slightly obsessed with gelling my own nails last year you see ha ha) so I'm super happy that I can now get geltastic again! The Urban Decay Naked Basics 2 I've been lusting after for agesssss, I'm a huge Urban Decay fan so anything new that they release I just need in my life ha ha. The Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation I did actually put down on my list as I really wanted it after getting a little sample in my local Mac store so I cant wait to start using it.

How beautiful is this hairdryer! Its the BaByliss Ombre and I'm in absolute love with it!

Isn't this a box of absolutely joy ha ha, Michael's parents know how much I love American food so they put me a box together full of different American sweets, cakes mixes, cereals, pop tarts plus more, I love it and I'm American food heaven ha ha!

My Vans really are on their last legs so when my parents asked what I would like for Christmas I said I'd like a pair of Converse to replace my Vans, I just love how they go with everything and are so comfy.  

And lastly the best, most amazing, thoughtful present of all, again from my gorgeous boyfriend ( he spoils me too much doesn't he ) was this iPad Mini, I cried my eyes out when I opened this! I have wanted an iPad for a couple of years  but because they are so pricey it isn't something Ive been able to just treat myself too previously, so Michael waited until I had opened all my presents and then said 'ohhh theres one more thing for you but its hidden behind the sofa', there was 2 boxes, one of which was the iPad and the other was a cute pink case for me to keep it protected in. I can honestly say I wasn't expecting the iPad in the slightest, I literally had no idea but one thing I do know is that it has not left my side since Christmas Day, it goes with me everywhere and I absolutly love it.

So that's most of my gorgeous gifts, my goodness I'm a lucky girl!!! I also received some comical stocking filler gifts, a tonne of chocolate and biscuits that I think will last me a lifetime ha ha and this year me and Michael received some money so I think a shopping trip will be in order very soon I'm sure!!!

What did you get for Christmas beaut's??? Leave me your links below as I'd love to see.
