Does exactly what I want my mousee to do!
Okay, just like the hairspray, the first thing I noticed was the heavenly scent. It really does smell great! To me, the scent was so nice that it almost smelled more like a perfume than a hair product. That matters to me, because, well, lets face it, our hair is right by our nose, and who wants a not-nice scent right there all day? So, before I even tried it, I liked the scent.
I used it a few times, and was very happy with it. My hair is fairly long, and naturally wavy, but it's also really, really fine. So that means that it often can feel flat. And the roots especially can feel awful to me, just really super-flat and unattractive. So I really liked this mousse because it helped keep my waves in, and my hair where I wanted it to be, and, on top of all that, it gave it volume (especially at the roots! Yesssss!).
The other thing I really liked was that it did all this without making my hair feel sticky, or gunky or anything, or too stiff. My hair still felt nice and soft.
Oh, and, also, I really love the colours of the can of mousse....it's a pretty, vibrant, cheer-you-up combination of colours - a nice bright yellow, and a lovely bright magenta. Maybe that sounds like a strange thing to mention, but I am the kind of person who always notices all the details, and I'm also the type of person who likes things to look nice; if I'm going to have a can of mousse out on my bathroom counter, why not have it be something that looks nice, right?

Okay, the first thing I noticed about this hairspray was how amazingly wonderful it smelled! Seriously! It's great! It pretty much smells like perfume to me - a kind of light, floral, sweet, lovely, perfect-for-summer scent. I was impressed with that, because I really can't stand not-good-smelling hairsprays...after all, it's right near your nose, it might as well smell good, right? Next, I was very happy with how it worked - it kept my hair where I wanted it to, but it didn't make my hair sticky or anything. It held it where I wanted it to stay, yet my hair still felt nice and soft. That's exactly what I want a hairspray to do. On top of that, it added volume to my roots! I have long hair, naturally wavy, but also very fine...I love my hair, except for the fact that the roots often feel flat or limp. I actually used this one day just as a root-lifting type of spray, and loved it for that use, too. It was a win-win - it gave my roots a boost, and kept my style in place. Would for sure buy this. -

I was very pleased with this scent! The major thing I love about it is that it is just so light...nothing heavy, nothing over-powering. I really like that, because I'm not a fan of scents that are super-strong. To me, the idea is to smell lightly of something wonderful - not to be drenched in an over-powering smell! Also, many offices and work places these days frown on heavy scents (because of those with scent sensitivities), so that's another reason the light scent is great. The scent itself is...it's very hard to describe, but, to me, it just smells like a bouquet of fresh flowers (I especially love that magnolia is in there), along with other scents that are a bit hard to put a finger on, but, nevertheless, smell wonderful and add to the complexity of the fragrance (to me, it smells like there's a bit of vanilla in there, but maybe it's just me). Scent is a very personal thing, so you'd have to try it out for yourself to see if you like it, but, if you ask me, it's the perfect summer scent! Perfumes smell stronger in summer, so this is a good one for those hot, muggy days, as it won't become overpowering. Oh, and as a bonus the bottle is beautiful, with a lovely crystal on top, and the perfume itself is a lovely shade of pink. I like how feminine it is. -

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed bar tasted great, and kept me feeling full! So, I enjoyed this bar very much. I was really hoping to try this flavour, as lemon and poppy seed are both favourites of mine, in terms of flavour. I wasn't dissapointed - it has a rich, tangy lemon taste that was just sweet enough, and it went really well with the poppy seed flavor. I liked the texture of the bar, too. I also liked that it kept me feeling full (which I think it due to the high protein content of the bar, which I was really happy it had). The one small, small thing I wasn't a fan of was the maltitol as an ingredient - I do try to avoid sugar alcohols like this, since they cause disgestive/stomach issues with me. I would have preffered a different sweetner - honey, stevia, etc. But overall I was really happy with this item, especially the flavor. I shared this one with my boyfriend, and he enjoyed it, but her personally liked the chocolate peanut butter flavour better (but he liked both of them a lot, and, anyway, he is huge huge fan of peanut butter so of course he would like that one better). He has a job that involves a ton of walking around and physical work, and he actually really liked the idea of these bars, because he needs something that keeps him feeling full (and you get hungry when doing physical work). Both of us liked these a lot. -

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Cream Chocolate Peanut Butter bar keeps me feeling filled, and gives me energy! I really liked this bar, mostly because it actually kept me filled up so that I didn't feel hungry soon after my afternoon snack. The other good thing, of course, is the taste - it was a nice flavour, sweet but not too sweet. I'm also pleased with the protein content of it, because I believe that protein makes you feel full and gets rid of cravings. So it was excellent to see all the protein in here. The only tiny thing I wasn't crazy about was the Maltitol in it - I do try to avoid sugar alcohols, as I find that they can cause digestive issues. I would have preffered a different sweetener, such as, say, Stevia or something. But that was just a tiny issue. Overall, it was great! Oh, and, also, I shared one with my boyfriend and he really liked it, too. He has a physically demanding job, and felt that it would be good for him for that, because he can get really hungry while at work. -

Nivea Firming Body Lotion leaves my skin soft, glowing, and feeling younger! Okay, I really liked this lotion. First thing I noticed was that the lotion sunk into my skin right away - nothing left behind. No greasy feeling, no oily feeling, nothing. That's the first thing I look for in a lotion, because I can't stand feeling like my skin is all greasy. Next, like other Nivea products I've used, the scent is light and pleasant. This is important to me, because I'm not a fan of strong scents, and also because I don't like my body lotion to interfere with my perfume. The bottle is huge! Seriously, even if you put it all over your body on a daily basis, it would last quite a long time. I like the fact that the bottle has a pump - I just always find this easier than bottles without a pump, and it feels more sanitary, too. This might sound like an odd thing to mention, but I also happen to very much like the design of the bottle - what I mean is that it's a nicely-designed bottle in terms of colour and stuff...nice and minimalist, just a nice shade of dark blue/yellow on white. I just like thing to look nice, and if it were a tacky bottle in ugly shades of burnt-orange and pea-green, I wouldn't be inclined to buy it! :-) I mean, if you're going to have a big bottle of lotion sitting on your bathroom counter, don't you want it to look nice? Anyway, I very much like this lotion, was pleased to have the chance to try it, and plan to buy it in the future. -

Nivea Firming Body Oil feels great and makes my skin glow! The thing that I really loved about this body oil was that it absorbed quickly, and didn't leave any oily or greasy feeling behind. It just seemed to soak right into my skin. My skin felt softened after, and moisturized, but there was no oil on my skin, no grease, no oily feeling - just soft, radiant-feeling skin. Perfect! The other thing I liked is that the scent is super-light - I could smell it a bit when I first put it on, and then it just went away almost entirely. I like that, because I don't want the scent of my body oil to interfere with any perfume or anything I might want to wear. And while the scent was there, it was light and pleasant. The bottle is a good, generous size that will last quite a long time, which is a plus. It really did what it says it'll do, too - seemed to make my skin feel more radiant, right away. I'd never tried a body oil until now, and I'm really pleased with it. -

Nivea Anti-Age Hand Cream left my hands feeling soft, and moisturized! The first thing I noticed about this hand cream was that it was really nice and rich, but without being greasy or sticky in any way. I really like that! That's the best of both worlds. The next thing I noticed is that the scent is nice and light, which I prefer. The cream absorbed quickly, and my hands felt really soft after putting it on. I like the size of the bottle, too - compact, so that I can pop it in my purse if I want. It's a great hand-cream, and the fact that it's anti-age is just the icing on the cake. I'm pleased I had the chance to try it out, and will most likely purchase it in the future. I think it will be especially handy here where I live (the Canadian prairies) in the winter, when the cold air really dries out my hands. Until then, it's also a great hand-cream for summer, because it absorbs so well that my hands don't feel sticky in the summer heat. -

So, I love apple cups and I also love raspberry (it's just about my favourite flavour), so I was pleased to be able to try this, and it did not dissapoint. Much like the tropical one, what I loved is that it is different - as much as I love apple cups, it's nice to have a new flavoured one to mix things up, instead of just have the same apple one every day. Variety! The taste is fantastic - sweet, but not overly sweet, probably due to the lack of added sugar (yay!). I was very happy that they didn't add sugar. It's not needed, and, actually, tastes better without it, I think - you can actually taste apple and raspberry, instead of just sugar. Pleased with the added fiber. Will purchase in the future. Excellent snack for kids, too - just the right size, and you can feel good about giving them a health snack. -

I liked that it was different from the usual apple cups - never tasted a tropical one before. The taste was nice (sweet but not too sweet), and I was also very happy with it having no added sugar! Really, there's no need for added sugar. Real, authentic taste. Plan to purchase in the future. -
