Subtle peanut flavour
The Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter protein bar has a non-sweet chocolate coating. I hope the peanut butter would be a stronger flavour, but due to the order of the ingredients, there must not be too much. As a lover of peanut butter, it wasn't enough. I do like that it was not a heavy bar as most protein bars tend to be. Again, I am not crazy about the presence of palm oil because it has almost as much saturated fat as butter and is not good for you. One other thing that I didn't like was the aftertaste of sweetener.

The pros outweigh the cons with this mascara.
First, I hate the name The Colossal Big Shot Volum'Express. Small issue, I know, but it is awkward to say and write. I also find the wand is hard to hold. It feels too big and the shape is weird.
However, I love the extra length that I get. I haven't had any smudging or flaking. It's also easy to remove without pulling at my lashes.

Get a gorgeous glow!
I was sure that I would hate the master strobing liquid illuminating highlighter in deep/gold because cream products don't usually work on my oily skin. But I love this! The golden tone is gorgeous. It applies beautifully, drones tstreak and isn't glittery.nit has lasted in a hot day and throughout a workout. I can't wait to try the other shades.

6 pans, but only 1 favourite.
Unfortunately, this master came color correcting kit falls short. While I appreciate the instructions on the back and the gorgeous golden highlight on the bottom right, there is nothing else that worked for me.
The corrector S did not last on my oily skin. The concealers were too dark in the Deep kit (and the medium kit would have been too light). These were just too creamy to have lasting power. Also, the included brush didn't pick up the product so you might be better off using your fingers to apply.

Matte, but creamy
I don't like to rate lipsticks based on their lasting power because frankly I don't feel as though bullet lipsticks should last. That being said, the lipstick applies smoothly despite it being called inti-matte. It feels comfortable and wears evenly.
On my pigmented lips, it does appear to pull purple more than brown (considering the shade I have is Brown Blush) and a little cooler than I like. I would definitely try a different colour to see if I can, in fact, find my perfect nude.

Lines and defines.
At first, the tip of the color sensational shaping lip liner tugged at my lips, but after a few applications, it softens and goes on smooth. The Rich Chocolate colour is great for my skin tone and works well under lip balm, lipstick or gloss. A bonus is that it doesn't need to be sharpened.

This oil has a variety of uses.
Becel olive oil plus is a blend of 3 oils - canola, evoo and sunflower. I thought it had a very mild scent, almost undetectable. It worked in my salad dressing recipes as well as stir fry and other cooking. The one time that I did not prefer it to my usual brand was for dipping bread. The only thing that could be different is that I typically prefer a richer, stronger flavour of olive oil for dipping.

Becel margarine with olive oil is creamy and delicious.
My family and I tried this on a variety of foods (waffles, muffins, sandwiches, etc.) and each time it was yummy. This margarine spreads well, melts easily and tastes great. At first, I didn't even mention to them that I purchased a different variety of margarine. They didn't detect any difference in taste and in my mind, this makes it great because it doesn't taste 'different' or 'weird'. I can see myself purchasing this in the future.

My whole family was excited to help me try the Sanissimo Salmas Oven Baked Corn Crackers. I really like that there are only 4 easy to understand ingredients. It makes me feel like I'm making a good decision by serving them.
I found them to be quite tasty by themselves. My husband did not love them without a garnish as he thought they were a little boring. My child loved that you could taste and see the salt on them. I don't like that they break quite easily when dipped so I will listen to the 'instructions' on the box that suggest not opening them until you are ready to eat them.
The packaging is a little difficult to tear open, but because I feel they would stay fresh longer as individually packaged, I don't mind that they are hard to open.
Overall, these were a win for me and I will definitely be purchasing them.

Catelli is already a staple pasta brand in my household, but we've never tried the Catelli Smart Veggie Spaghetti prior to now. Taste-wise I don't think my family would have noticed the difference if I hadn't mentioned it.
I've noticed, just like with the SuperGreens Fusilli, that this pasta does have a chewy texture when it's freshly made. My child did ask why the spaghetti was so chewy, but it didn't bother me.
