Yay for another box of fun subscription boxes! There’s a new subscription box in the mix this month – Graze. I decided to get the Goodies Co box and the Graze box simultaneously for a month or two to see which one I preferred. I’m planning on cancelling one of those subscriptions, but I’m still not sure which one. Without further ado, here are my March boxes!
Goodies Co: $7 // March Taster’s Box 4
Alo Drink – Watermelon + Peach: $11.94 for a 6 pack // Haven’t tried yet.
Newtons – Triple Berry: $4.49 each // I’m not a fan of these, so I immediately gave them to Pablo. I think they must have been good? He hasn’t told me otherwise.
Erin Baker’s Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookie: $7.80 for a 6 pack // I thought this tasted great, but it wasn’t very filling. Probably won’t buy these again.
Belvita Cinnamon Brown Sugar: $3.99 each // These were delicious AND filled me up! I could hardly finish them, actually.
Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserves: Taster’s box exclusive // Haven’t tried these yet.
Rickland Orchards Greek Yogurt Covered Granola Bar – Toasted Coconut: $6.49 each // Another yummy item in the Goodies Co box! The coconut and pineapple gave it a tropical taste that I loved. Great flavor, but once again, too expensive!
Jovan’s All Natural Instant Breakfast – Vanilla: $7.99 each // Here’s something you didn’t know about me: I drink a protein shake for breakfast every morning. I was most excited to try this item and it did not disappoint. It’s probably one of the best vanilla protein shakes I’ve ever tried. BUT I still think these are too expensive. If you can afford it, this is worth it!
Ola! Vanilla Almond Granola: $5.99 each // Haven’t tried yet.
Graze: $5 // Box 1
[It's important to note with these Graze boxes that you can't order the contents outside of receiving them in the box. If you have a Graze subscription, you can rate these products "like" or "love" and you'll probably receive them in one of your upcoming boxes. You have the option to receive 1, 2, or 4 Graze boxes each month. This month, I opted to receive 2. And I cannot find my photos of the first box! Thank God they keep track of the box contents for me on their website.]
Honeycomb Crunch: Milk chocolate coated honeycomb, raisins and almonds // This was my favorite thing in the box – I’m a sucker for the sweet stuff! The honeycomb was candy. Seriously. And it was amazing.
Herby Bread Basket: Mini garlic croutons, mini basil breadsticks and oregano rice crackers // Let me just tell you, this was amazing, too. You’ll definitely want a toothbrush handy after you eat this because it’ll make your breath smell all garlic-y. Not super filling, but a nice little treat.
Jaffa Cake: Roasted hazels, orange infused raisins and dark chocolate buttons // This one could have been good if it weren’t for the orange infused raisins. I liked it, but I didn’t love it.
Fruit and Seek Flapjack: Rustic rolled oat flapjack with mixed seeds and dry fruits // I was surprised that I liked this one because it didn’t look like my cup of tea. The variety of seeds really up the nutritional value, which I’m a-okay with.
Graze: $5 // Box 2
Fruity Mango Chutney: Fruity mango chutney with black pepper dippers // I was so excited to try this one, which is why I was SO disappointed with it. I can’t handle spicy stuff and this made my mouth feel like it was on fire. If you like spicy, you’ll love this!
Toffee Apple: Sticky toffee sauce with granny smith apple slices // These were my favorite item in this box! I already told you I’m a sucker for sweet stuff and this totally satiated my sweet tooth – for only 68 CALORIES! Holla! If I got this in every box, I would be happy.
Omega Booster Seeds: Sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and golden flaxseeds // I felt like a bird when I ate this. That’s all I really have to say about that.
Mississippi BBQ Pistachios: Roasted pistachios with barbecue seasoning // Some flavors shouldn’t be combined. These are two of those flavors. I ate three and then I threw this in the trash.
ipsy: $10 // March theme: The Great Escape
[I want to preface this one by saying this was my LEAST favorite ipsy bag I've received so far. If I were judging them on this bag alone, I wouldn't subscribe. That being said, I've been a subscriber for a few months now and can definitely tell you they're typically a lot better than this one. Forgive my brutal (but honest) reviews and give them a chance if you were considering a subscription!]
yaby Eyeshadow Refill: $3.29 // I received this in a teal and a goldenrod shade. These looked really bad when I wore them. The yellow shade actually made me look sick. They were also very small for a full sized eyeshadow, even if the price is only $3.29. My suggestion is to spend $1 more at the grocery or drug store for an eyeshadow that’s at least 4 times bigger and in a shade that looks a lot better.
Hydrating Mist by Juice Beauty: $22.00 // This smells like old lady perfume (you know what I’m talkinga bout). I also have uber oily skin, so hydration is not something I strive to achieve. I did try this one time and that was enough for me to realize this wasn’t for me.
Glam RX Mini Freestyle Palette: $16.50 // This is a mirror with a hollow magnetic base. Basically, this is really stupid. It’s a good concept (I think), but it’s not something I would use. I saw people store barrettes in it, others store eyeshadows and safety pins. If you need something portable to sore that stuff in, then here ya go. For $16.50, I’m pretty sure you could figure out how to store them another way, but that’s just me.
LA Fresh Travel Lite Makeup Remover, 8 count: $1.49 // These were cheap, but they work like a charm! I keep them in my gym bag now. Since they’re wipes, they don’t spill. I was able to remove all of my makeup, including my waterproof eyeliner and mascara, without a hitch. I recommend these highly!
