Out of all the protein bars I have tried, these are by far the tastiest. I opened these up the minute I received them in the mail because I was so excited to give them a try. I was initially a little disappointed because the bar was very hard and difficult to bite into, but the taste was really good so I kept going despite the difficulty. I tried the other protein bar I received a few days later and found that it wasn't as difficult to bite into this time, so it may have just been the cooler temperature they had been stored at en route to me. I much preferred this chewier texture. The taste of the nuts in the bar is very strong and prominent, which I very much enjoyed. The dark chocolate and cashews made for a very rich flavour.
In terms of price, I think it is comparable to other protein bars I have purchased in the past, so I think that's fair.
Nutritionally, 230 cal is a little high in calories, but this is understandable granted cashews are usually a little higher in cal count. 8 grams of fiber was great to see. 10 grams of sugar was kind of high for my liking, but I don't think the bars would be quite as tasty if they were any less sweet, Lastly, 10 grams of protein is lower than I would like for a protein bar, but still proved to be successful at curving my hunger.
Overall, these protein bars have a wonderful flavour. I would recommend this to family and friends because it was able to silence my hunger and act as a great midday snack. I was impressed with this product depite the high amount of sugar used in it.

I have to say, these protein bars are by far the tastiest I've had and I have tried quite a few different brands out. When I first received my free sample in the mail, I was dying to try one, I opened one up right away. I was initially a little disappointed because it was so hard to bite, but the taste was great. I tried the second bar I received a few days later and found it to be softer, so it may have just been the cooler temperature they had been stored at. I much preferred this chewier texture. The taste of the nuts in the bar is very strong and prominent, which I very much enjoyed.

Nutritionally, it is slightly high in calories, coming in at 230 cal, but this is understandable granted nuts are usually a little higher in cal count. 8 grams of fiber was great to see. It comes in a little low at 10 grams of protein. 10 grams of sugar, was a little higher than I would like.
Overall, a great taste I really did enjoy. I would recommend this to family and friends because it was able to silence my hunger and act as a great midday snack. Impressed with this product aside from the high amount of sugar used in it.

I just bought this wax for the first time last week and I think this wax is hands-down the best wax I have ever used. It is so easy to heat up, so easy to spread on, does an amazing job of ripping the hair out, and does not leave a sticky residue. Any remaining residue on the skin rinses away unbelievably easily with water. Sugar wax is definitely the way to go. My only complaint is that it did not come with enough strips to complete the jar. I already had some at home, so it wasn't a big deal. But again, this is a great set because the strips you can wash and reuse. Really a great product. I have already returned to buy two more jars of it. -

I'm not a typical user of facial wipes, but I got these in a free beauty box once. I was previously accustomed to using liquid makeup remover, but I was pleasantly surprised at how efficient these were at removing makeup. They smell wonderful and are so gentle on the skin. Aside from being a little on the pricey side, they are definitely a great product that I would recommend. -
Tampax Anti-Slip Grip Cardboard Applicator
I have always liked Tampax products. These are great because they are super absorbent and I have never experienced leaking with them. I like that they are flushable, as well. I don't really trust any other product, so I definitely recommend this one.

I was really excited when I got this perfume because I am a big fan of Jimmy Choo. It had a really nice light scent, which was not over-bearing that I liked. I'm very sensitive to smells, so whenever I buy a perfume, I have to be very cautious. It didn't smell overly flowery which was also a bonus. I am not a fan of anything that smells too sweet. Unfortunately, it falls short on the lust factor because the first day I wore it around my boyfriend he told me I smelled like an old lady. I guess if you have an appeal for a sophisticated scent, it could be right for you. I still give it a thumbs up. -

I have to say this product is a little on the pricey side and I can't always justify buying it, however, it makes your clothes smell absolutely amazing. Really makes a huge difference on the final scent of your clothes. Can't say that ordinary fabric softener or detergent cant compare with results. The scent it not over-bearing either. I would definitely recommend this product. -

Pros:
The come in an assortment of colours, they're fairly priced and can often get them on sale for a few bucks during the summer months, pretty durable as I have never had a pair break on me, last pretty long and take quite some time to wear down the soles.
Cons:
Where the thong attaches at the side irritates my foot so it might take some time to break them in
Overall, beats any dollar store flip flop, so definitely worth it for a simple pair.
