I was very intrigued to try Daiya's Dairy Free Fire-Roasted Vegetable Pizza after seeing it many times in the supermarket.
I will say that the taste of the sauce and vegetables were delicious. Even the "vegan" cheese is definitely worth trying out, as I didn't miss regular dairy-cheese at all. However, the main problem I had with this pizza is that the crust tasted like cardboard. I felt like I just wanted to scoop off all the ingredients and just eat them on some other carb like a tortilla or even just place onto some lettuce wraps and leave out the dry and tasteless crust. I have had gluten-free crusts before and they were very tasty, so this was rather disappointing that Daiya put a lot of effort it seems to all the other components of the pizza, but didn't make the crust very edible.
These types of products are rather expensive, as they are found in the natural frozen food section, so I think i'm saving my money and will look for another dairy-free pizza that may suit my needs better!

I purchased Burt's Bees new lip crayon in the shade Niagara Overlook. It's a light pinkish shade that provides a more natural hint of colour for those of us who are fair-skinned, rather than something really bold that would draw attention to the mouth area. If you want more colour, applying a few times seems to works well. They have many other shades, which I think will be worth trying out.
The formula is very hydrating with shea butter and other moisturizing ingredients, so it is perfect for when you need some extra moisture to your lips.
There is a lot of transfer, so if you are looking for a long-lasting, transfer-proof lipstick, this wouldn't be it. However, it seemed to last a few hours and even after the lipstick fades, leaves a nice pink tinge to the lips.
I really like the sleek tube with the crayon application, as it makes it much easier to apply and for the price, it's a great deal for the quality and quantity that you get.

SKIN-tastic!
La Roche Posay’s Ultra Micellar Water for Dry/Reactive Skin is probably the best product out there on the market right now due to its gentle formula. I #gotitfree from ChickAdvisor for providing an honest product review.
This is a great makeup remover. After soaking a cotton pad (you may need a couple of them if you’re removing a full face of makeup) with the Micellar Water, you can definitely see the amount of makeup that comes off right away without using much pressure at all. My skin was left feeling very refreshed, hydrated and moisturized, probably because of the high amount of glycerin. It also felt so soft and smooth, almost as if I did an exfoliating mask. I'm not really sure about the anti-redness claim since my complexion is naturally rosy at times, but I did notice a reduction in that awkward tightness feel, which was positive.
400 ML seems like a generous amount and not badly priced. You can also opt out for smaller sizes which would be great if you’re travelling. The only extra cost would be the cotton pads. I would have liked if this product could be used like a cleanser with my hands, but a small price to pay for an effective makeup remover like this one.
I’ve been using this all week long and it seems to be working very well. I would say this is a great addition to my skincare routine. I wouldn't toss out my cleanser just yet though because on the days where I don't wear a lot of makeup, I wouldn't reach for the Micellar Water, as I think it is more suitable for the purpose of what it states as a "makeup remover."

This particular scent from Dove was rather strong and I didn't care for the lingering smell after my boyfriend used it. I would also not recommend using it as a face wash, especially if you have very sensitive skin. However, with saying that, it does do a decent job on the rest of the body. Lathers up nicely and doesn't leave any kind of residue or irritation to the skin. It also feels very moisturizing. You don't really need any additional body spray once you're out of the shower because it stays for a while. I still find the Dove Men Aqua scent to be most pleasing from this line of body and face washes! -

I tried the Original Black Bean chips and they are absolutely delicious! Very tasty, not greasy at all and really filling. It's a healthy snack that is loaded with a lot of nutritional benefits like protein and fibre. I like the crunchy texture and even though these contain sea salt, it is not overpowering at all. I added a nice avocado mixture to scoop my chips up with, but they can also be eaten just straight out of the bag too! -

A little on the pricey side, but that is to be expected from Estee Lauder. I find that Modern Muse is such a wonderful fragrance and I am not one to usually wear perfumes because the scent can be so strong and irritating. This one is perfect. Not overly potent, but packs enough of a scent that lingers on throughout the day in the most pleasant way where reapplying is not needed. -

I really love Driscoll's raspberries. In the container, they are usually always plump and vibrant in colour. Rarely mushy and/or bruised. They have a delicious taste and when the grocery store has a sale, 2/$4.00 is a great buy. They last only 2-3 days maximum, but they are a wonderful snack and a perfect treat on top of my pumpkin pie! -

I purchased Burt's Bee's lipstick shade, Lily Lake. It's really pretty and nicely pigmented.
The lipstick glides on smooth and lasts several hours. It is also extremely hydrating to my lips, so it will be perfect in the colder temperatures. I also found a good assortment. There are many shades to choose from which would look flattering on many women.

On its own, I like a variety of Dove shampoos and separate conditioners, so it was disappointing to not have good results from Dove's Nutritive Solutions Beautiful Care Shampoo and Conditioner.
Opening up the bottle, the texture was a bit thick, and after wetting my hair and rubbing only a small amount in, I found it tough to fully wash out of my naturally curly hair without several rinses. I did appreciate how soft my hair felt afterwards, but I felt that I spent too much time trying to get the residue out.
Also, the fragrance is too strong! I don't mind a light scent sometimes, but I felt my eyes tearing up. Another negative was the lingering smell even after I finished in the shower and combed and styled my hair.
The only other positive for me was the size of the bottle because it would last a while in my household and only a very small amount of product would be needed for each wash.
Overall though, not a great match for my hair needs.

Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant has been wonderful this year, especially because of the excessively hot and humid weather lately! It is very easy to apply, no transfer residue so far and doesn't make my skin feel irritated, wet or sticky.
I am always weary when a product states "unscented" because often there is a strong and overpowering smell, but this one actually has barely a scent at all, which is great.
However, you do need to re-apply if you are doing vigorous activities after a few hours, but that's okay because it is the perfect size for a carry-on bag or even a purse.
