is Propercorn the best popcorn brand?

Hello everyone

Proper-taste, proper-packaging, proper-corn. Propercorn is true to it name, so when I saw the orange case of popcorn on my doorstep, I was estatic, this is a brand I have seen marketed on Instagram and other social media and I was desperate to try the product.
If you don't know, Propercorn is a popcorn brand set up in 2011 by Cassandra and Ryan in London. The story behind the start up of propercorn is on the back of each and every bag.
The bright colours once the box was opened.

First of all the packaging of the box is incredible. With the box looking like a giant orange vintage
case. This shows how much care and detail goes into the look of the box.
The bags themselves are made out of a thick material and have lovely bright colours such as Red, Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue and a magnolia. All of the flavours are reflected through the colours of the bags. The products are all very eye-catching and unique.


Overall I got sent 6 different flavours to try out and review, these flavours are all the classic flavours and they are available on the online store, if you want a look click HERE.

The first flavour I tried was sour cream & black pepper, this is one of my favourite flavours as it has a really strong pepper taste with the taste of the sour cream coming in after. It also melts away in your mouth which I think is lovely, this makes this particular flavour of popcorn very enjoyable and flavourful. Overall I would rate this flavour 8/10

The next flavour is sweet coconut and vanilla. Unfortunately I  don't like the taste of coconut but I gave the packets to family and friends and they said they loved the taste of the popcorn as it had a lovely strong sweet taste, also the best part about this brand is the popcorn is 100% guilt free.


Lightly sea salted was my favourite flavour ever. It hasn't got the strongest salted flavour which I think is really good because then it wouldn't be as nice as it would be too strong but because of the light salt it has a nice aftertaste. I would rate this a 9/10.

The next flavour is sun dried tomato and Worcester sauce this flavour reminded me of crisps I used to have when I was younger. This flavour is lovely and strong with a nice spice. overall I would rate these a 8.5/10.

The next flavour I got sent was sweet & salty, this is a classic popcorn flavour and I absolutely love it. Even though I prefer propercorn's twist on the flavour than the usual flavour as its not too strong because sometimes it can be very strong and either too sweet or too salty. I found that this particular brand has the perfect balance of flavour. because of this I rate this flavour a 7/10.

lastly I got sent smooth peanut and almond similar to the coconut flavour I wasn't overly keen on this but my family informed me that it was really delicious as it wasn't too strong but it was very flavourful. This flavour would be perfect for any nut lover.
                                                                


firstly  proper corn for sending me these products to try and review. This assortment of popcorn would be a perfect Christmas gift. I am definitely going to be purchasing more of these products as I  personally believe that propercorn is  the best popcorn brand that I have tried as they have really good flavours, the presentation of the product is very thoughtful and clever and they are healthier alternative to other snacks. I will definitely be re purchasing more products in the future.

Amie skincare product review | B1tsandbeautyy

Hello everyone

In today's blog post I am going to be reviewing products that were kindly sent to me from the brand Amie skincare. I would like to note, yes I did receive the products free but this blog post is not sponsored and all opinions on these products are my own.


Firstly about the brand, Amie skincare is a natural skincare and beauty brand. Which specialises in making products that are free from harsh chemicals. I think one of the best things about the brand is that they do not test on animals and it's suitable for vegetarians and vegans , which makes the brand much more approachable.

I kindly got sent two full sized products from Amie skin care which I have tried and tested, to review for you.

The first product I received is a micellar water by Amie.
This is in a 200ml bottle which is great as you get plenty of product. The product itself has a lovely fragrance, of which I prefer to the leading brand of garnier micellar water. Even though it is good at taking off light makeup such as face makeup ( foundations etc.), mascaras and eyeshadow.As it can remove this makeup within one wipe,which is very good. It takes awhile to remove eyebrow product such as pomade and eyeliner. This usually take 4-5 wipes of product to remove the makeup. This may be because the eyebrow pomade I use is waterproof, which may make it hard to remove. For that reason I don't think it is as good as the leading brand off garnier micellar water. Nevertheless I believe that it's a very good micellar water and comes very close to the leading brands.

The next product i was sent is a new leaf deep pore exfoliating polish. On the packaging it states to only use it once or twice a week. So I have only used it once but the immediate results are fantastic. straight after using the product my skin felt so smoothed and moisturised. Also I suffer greatly with combination skin which means sometimes it's very oily ( my Tzone especially) whereas on other occasions my skin can be quite dry. This product is perfect as the morning after using the product my skin has been less dry and less oily, which means it helps balance out my skin. Also it has a lovely fragrance like the micellar water.

Overall I am so impressed with the Amie Skincare range. I would definitely recommend the brand to anyone, especially people with normal to oily skin. I think the micellar water and deep pore exfoliating polish are such great quality products and I would like to thank the brand for sending products over for me to review!
