I received a tube of Benzagel from Chickadvisor to try and review. This stuff is amazing. I have been suffering from painful and humiliating hormonal acne breakouts for a few months now and every product I've tried has either not worked or made my break outs worse. I tried Benzagel and it honestly improved my acne overnight. I still had acne but it was not enlarged, painful nor as big as it was the night before.
This product is honestly worth every penny, and its not that expensive, as it has improved my confidence with my skin and has finally given me hope to combat my acne and win against it!!

This product did not perform as it said it did. After using it for a whole week, my acne had not gone down. I also felt a minor burning sensation from using this product which claims to be for sensitive skin. The price of the product is definitely not worth the ineffective effort of the product. -

I received this product for free to try out. I have been using it for 1 week now and I have not noticed a huge difference in my skin. All my pimples are still there. Although they are less inflamed, this product did not remove my acne.
That being said, I find the product itself to do a good job at preventing future breakouts by efficiently cleaning my skin without being too harsh or having too strong of a scent.
My conclusion for this product is that it is a good cleaner however, it did not clear up my acne and for the price of it, I do not think it is personally worth it.

This ice cream does not disappoint in flavour or texture. The creamy rich full bodied tastes of the ice cream just melts the instant it enters your mouth. The rich taste of the ice cream makes you think you are eating some overpriced deluxe style of ice cream when in reality, it is rather unexpensive.
The flavor of the butterscotch is perfectly spread out in the ice cream so that it is not too overpowering of the delicious vanilla flavor yet it is present in each spoonful of ice cream.
would definitely recommend this ice cream as it is delicious, creamy, and an amazing flavor.

This flavor would probably be my least favorite out of the 3 bars I was sent to try by this brand. That being said, it still tasted good but it lacked the oomph that the other two bars gave with their distinct combination of dark chocolate and salty nuts.
The nutriiton in this bar, like the other two, is not ideal since it is fairly high in sugar, but I have seen a lot worse nutritional content in other brands of bars claiming to be healthy.
Overall, I think this bar is delicious and would be great in moderation due to its high amount of protein which does not taste as bad as most would expect from a protein bar.

I am a total sucker for dark chocolate and I believe this bar perfectly captures the rich and intense flavor of the dark chocolate by pairing it with the mild yet salty almonds. The flavor of these bars are phenomenal HOWEVER, they are definitely not healthy and should not be consumed on a regular basis as they are fairly high in sugar.
I would have this flavor of bar again but as a dessert rather than a nutritious snack as there are plenty of other nutritional bars with fewer grams of sugar and more protein, but in a pinch I believe these bars are much better than a few other health claiming bars which contain way more sugar than a candy bar.

PowerBar Plant Protein Cashew, Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate

I was stoked to be selected to try out all three of these flavors as a free sample. My favorite flavor would be the salted caramel as it paired nicely with the robust nutty flavor of the bar. The taste and texture of all these bars are similar to Kind bars. They contain varying textures between the smooth chocolate and the crunchy nuts which I overall enjoyed.
The nutritional value on these bars, however, are not ideal for a nutritious granola bar and are more closely related to that of a bar I would eat for a treat, not for a nutritious meal. Although the protein content is fairly high in these bars, especially for being a plant-based protein bar, the sugar content is way too high to be consuming these bars on a regular basis.
As indicated by the ingredients on the back, sugar is one of the most common ingredients listed, making me wary of consuming these bars on a regular basis.
Overall, I would recommend these bars if the options for vegatarian plant based protein bars are limited. They taste identical to Kind bars and all of the flavors pair well with the nutty base, however, the sugar is too high for them to be deemed as 'healthy' as I have seen other protein bars with far less sugar in them.

This dairy free ice cream tasted so much like their dairy version that I honestly thought I had purchased the wrong ice cream and had gotten the dairy one instead. It is just as creamy and delectable as the dairy version and I guarantee if you did a taste test, you would not be able to tell the difference between the dairy and non dairy versions.
That being said, this ice cream is no more healthier than its dairy counterpart. If you are looking to cut back on sugar/calories/fat and think that the dairy version has less of this compared to the dairy version, look elsewhere. It is just as high, if not higher, than the dairy version and is therefore no more healthier. It is also just as pricey as the dairy version which is way overpriced to begin with. For the little amount of ice cream inside a tub, it really is not worth the price when there is an abundance of other flavors out there.
All this being said, if you enjoy the unique flavors of Ben and Jerrys ice cream which is specific to their brand only, I recommend indulging in this expensive overindulgent dessert every now and then as a treat to yourself.

Living in Canada, my skin suffers from harsh winters, which last over 6 months, and requires extreme moisture to prevents cracks and pain.
This lotion was made with quality ingredients and had a silky texture without being too greasy on my skin, however I found it was not quite as moisturizing as my other lotions I have used in the past.
The smell of the lotion was amazing when I first put it on, but after 10 minutes the smell was no longer there which is another dissappointment of this lotion.
Overall, I will probably stick to my previous lotions but if you are someone who does not have excessively dry skin or do not like the smell of overpowering lotions, I would highly recommend this product for you.

As someone who deals with anxiety with school and who works out regularly, I sweat a lot. Unfortunately, many times my sweat will stain my clothes or give me horrendously" embarrassing pit stains" in public. If none of those happen, I find my deodorants either leave white specks or give off some funky fruity flavor.
This deodorant went above and beyond all my concerns. It went on smoothly and clearly and the smell of it was so mild that it smelt natural on me. It lasted all day and did not require additional applications beyond what I applied that morning.
I will definitely be purchasing this deodorant as my new go to from now on.
