Degustabox - June 2014

-
I have seen so many comments about the Degustabox food box, that I finally decided to sign up.  I used a code to get a box for £9.99 (usual price £12.99). Here's what was in the June box:
Degustabox - June 2014
  • Estrella Damm Spanish Lager (worth £4.00) - not a fan of lager so will give this to someone who is.
  • Elizabeth Shaw Milk Chocolate Amaretto Flutes - these were devine and I probably should not admit it, but the box in the photo is already empty. I did share them with someone though.  (worth £2.59).
  • Urban Fruit Pineapple - these were a nice dried fruit snack.  Again the bag in the photo is empty, as I have already eaten them.  They tasted pretty good.  (worth £1.09).
  • Bear Alpha Bites - Crunchy cereal letters that contain no refined sugar, no salt and no added nonsense.  I am probably a bit too old for alphabet cereal, but then again I am currently working my way through a box of coco pops so maybe not.  (Worth £2.69+)
  • Veetee Basmati & Wild Rice (worth £1.49).  This will definitely come in useful, so happy with this product.
  • Dr Oetker Madagascan Vanilla Grinder (worth £4.99).  I don't bake much (or ever really), but this can be used as a topping on sweet treats, hot drinks and ice cream, so will definitely be trying it out.
  • Lambrini Strawberry (worth £3.29).  This looks like a great summer drink.
  • 2 Be Fast Breakfast on the Go drinks in Banana and Vanilla Flavours.  I am usually rushing around too much in the morning to make breakfast so these will suit me down to the ground (£1 each).
  • Finally I received a sachet of Drink Me Tea:Latte (tea and frothy milk infushion) Earl Grey (no value given) - I don't drink tea, so I will pass this on to someone who will.
Overall there are 2 products that I won't use and the rest I will be able to make use of.  It's a nice way of trying new things, so I will stay signed up for the next box, to see what goodies come my way.  The overall value of this box was approx £22.14. You can sign up for Degustabox here. 

 *UPDATE - I have just noticed an offer online for a Degustabox for £8.99 plus free shipping. The code is PROMODISCOUNT.  I can't promise it will work as I haven't tried it, but its definitely worth a shot.

    Bit of a mixed bag here. I'd hate the Lambrini but most other things look ok.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it made for a better base for my foundation. It also seemed to be more hydrating. I have defini...

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes c...
