This is the only Naked palette that I own, and I think it's the only one I need. Combined with my Modern Renaissance palette, I can create virtually any warm or cool-toned look I desire. I'm not sure why the Naked smoky was discontinued because I think it's quite versatile and flattering. I'm not complaining though, because I was able to pick mine up at Nordstrom Rack for $24.99. You can't beat that price for a high quality eyeshadow palette! The packaging is solid and edgy, and the brush that's included is pretty good, too. The glittery shades only really work if you wet your brush, and you do get quite a bit of kick-up in the pan, but I'm not too concerned about either of those things. If you're able to get your hands on one of these palettes at the discounted price, and you like to create smoky looks, I say go for it! -

I got this product for free for review purposes from ChickAdvisor. Firstly, it tastes really good! I love the chocolate drizzle overtop, and the satisfying crunch. As a vegan, I also appreciate that it is made with plant protein. However, I do have some issues with this bar. The size and taste remind me of a Quaker chewy bar, but the nutrition facts are more like a Clif/meal replacement bar. For the high calories & fat, I would prefer a Clif bar over this one because I find that Clif bars satiate my hunger more effectively. I was uncertain whether the PowerBar was meant to be a meal replacement or just a snack, because the nutritional value is halfway between the two. I packed one bar with me when I went to the library, hoping it would stave off my hunger while I studied, but I ended up having to go buy myself a lunch anyway shortly after. I also think it could do without the chocolate coating on the bottom; the drizzle is enough. All that being said, it's a great tasting bar, and I'm excited to see what other vegan protein snacks PowerBar comes out with in the future. #gotitfree -

I don't find that these have a very noticeable flavour, but I put them in my oatmeal every morning because it adds some extra texture and nutritional value. Hemp seeds are high in a multitude of vitamins and minerals, and are a great supplement if you live a vegan lifestyle. The bags are quite large, so although they are pricey, they last a long time because you only really need a couple spoonfuls per serving. They are a bit high in calories, but that's to be expected when it comes to seeds/nuts. -
CLIF Bar White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Energy Bar

These bars taste like candy. Which isn't surprising, because their nutritional label is pretty much on par with a candy bar. These are high in calories, fat, and sugar. They are great as meal replacements or if you are an active person who is always on the go, but they are not meant for the everyday consumer. My favourite flavour is White Chocolate Macadamia. I appreciate that most of the flavours are vegan! -

When you put this on your lips, it isn't going ANYWHERE. I bought the shade Lover, which is a beautiful, pinky colour that goes with a lot of eye looks. I got mine on sale for $10, which I think is a good value for what you get. This lipstick is perfect if you hate liquid lipsticks that are drying, since this one dries only slightly and leaves a more velvety finish. I also appreciate how it stays on even when I drink, or eat greasy food. The only downsides are that it is VERY difficult to remove at the end of the day (I've heard micellar water works well) and that it makes your lips stick together a little bit (but not so much that it's uncomfortable). At the end of the day, I think this is a great product from an affordable brand, and it's totally worth your money if you don't mind a bit of stickiness. -

I got this product for free from the Product Review Club. This was my first time trying a loose powder foundation (I exclusively use liquids and pressed powders), so perhaps there's a learning curve, but I found it a bit difficult to use this product. When I put my brush in the powder, dust kicked up everywhere. I like the fact that a tiny bit of powder goes a long way, and I think this container will last me a long time. I absolutely love the packaging; the gold lid is beautiful and looks stunning on display on my vanity. I think the powder did look nice once I got it on my skin, but I think I just still prefer pressed powders because they are easier to control and much less messy. I can just imagine accidentally knocking the jar over and powder spilling out everywhere! #gotitfree -

I received this product for free to test out as part of the Product Review Club. I didn't really like this primer. It feels very greasy and doesn't dry down after application, making my foundation more difficult to apply. It also doesn't minimize my pores, which I like my primers to do. That being said, I love the lemon-herb scent (it's refreshing!) and that a little bit of product goes a long way, so it's good value for your money. If you're like me and you prefer mattifying/blurring primers, I would go with Benefit's Porefessional instead. #gotitfree -
Nude by Nature Mineral Brush 11
This is a fantastic brush! I love how soft it is and how effectively it applies/smoothes out my powder foundation. The matte black handle is also looks very classy and high-end. It's a great addition to my brush collection. #gotitfree

I was fortunate enough to be chosen to review this product for the Review Club, so I #gotitfree. Batiste has always been my go-to dry shampoo brand, but I always opt for their "Blush" scent. This was my first time trying "Lotus". It has a pretty, feminine fragrance, but I still think I prefer Blush because it is less overpowering and more subtle. The packaging on Lotus is very attractive; I love the colours! I highly recommend Batiste if you want a good quality dry shampoo for a relatively low price, and Lotus is a good choice if you like floral scents. -
McCain Red Skin Wedges
Delicious! The outside is crispy while the inside is perfectly soft. Works really well as a side dish with steak or chicken. I will definitely be purchasing McCain wedges again!
