My family was more than happy to help me review the Catelli SuperGreens Fusilli that I received from Chickadvisor.
For this review, I decided to follow the recipe card for Creamy Green Bean Fusilli Pasta Salad that came with the review box, and yum! We've found ourselves a new meal idea. Save for a couple of changes based on what my family likes to eat, the recipe turned out well. Since this review is about the pasta, one thing we noticed is that we enjoyed the flavour of the pasta itself a little more on the second day. It could be because the dressing had a chance to soften the pasta and it didn't feel as chewy.
We have already repurchased a box.

They say that good things come in threes, but I just don't know about the Vichy double usage after-sun care. I am truly undecided about whether or not I like it. The biggest problem is that this product confuses me. Or maybe more appropriately, the advertising/description is what confuses me. I purposely have not googled this because I feel like you should be able to figure out from the package alone what the purpose of a product is. I understand that it is tan-beautifying, but what does that even mean? I get that you can apply it in the shower and on dry skin, but what is the outcome supposed to be? It says for radiant skin, but putting oil on my skin is obviously going to make it radiant and shiny. With 3 different languages on the bottle (English, French and Dutch?) I feel like they lost valuable space to explain what this does. I think it should say that it softens skin, if that is in fact the intent. Although I like the way my skin feels, I am left with that confusion as to why I would want to purchase this if I don't believe in tanning. -

I was fairly excited when I learned that I was receiving the Vichy Sun Protection box from Chickadvisor (for free) to review and it hasn't let me down! The Vichy sheer lotion bare skin feel SPF 60 is aptly named. Once applied and rubbed in, my skin does not feel greasy and save for a faint scent, it is not apparent that I'm even wearing sunscreen. In regards to body sunscreen, I don't mind a fragrance and this one is definitely tolerable. For me it is more about whether or not the product works, and this passed the test during a beach day, a park dark and a street festival. I would happily purchase this in the future. -

While this is pretty pricy for the size and my bottle arrived from Chickadvisor with what looked like 1/6 of the product missing, I still loved it. The texture is lovely and it almost feels like it dries to a powder texture. No greasiness at all. I do have a bit of a white cast due to my skin tone, despite the packaging stating no white residue, but it was easily covered up with a light coating of BB cream so personally it didn't matter to me. The scent was not over-powering, something I appreciate in a facial product. All-in-all, I can definitely see me purchasing this when I run out! -

Unfortunately I did not enjoy the Adrien Gagnon Super Energex Orange ampoules. Because of the nature of this product, I felt it was difficult to review due to many factors that effect energy levels. That being said, I tried them on a day when I had done 4 hours of exercise and also on a lazy day, and felt no difference in my energy level.
I didn't not enjoy the flavour. It tastes bland. While it is orange flavoured, the directions suggest adding it to orange juice (which I don't drink) and I think that defeats the purpose of being 'orange'. The packaging is also weird and reminds me of those packets of fake blood that you can use for a vampire costume at Halloween.
Overall, I didn't enjoy these and will not be purchasing them in the future.

I have to say, I was quite impressed with these Adrien Gagnon Nutriforme bars. My previous experience with meal replacement bars left me thinking that they are all tasteless and chalky, but these definitely changed my mind.
I made sure to try them at a time when I knew that I wouldn't have time to eat a big meal (during a dance competition) and they definitely kept me filled up until I was able to eat. I look forward to purchasing them in the future.

This is probably my favourite product that Paula's Choice sells. As soon as I started reading about proper skincare and decided to get a exfoliant that wasn't a scrub, my skin issues got better. Some people may find that this can be a little strong on their skin so make sure you use the appropriate BHA level for you. -
McCain Superfries 5 Minute Shoestring Fries
I'm a big fan of keeping these stocked in my freezer. They are quick and easy to make and best of all my child will eat them! Although I don't eat fries often, I do like the taste of these.

I feel like it is too soon to determine whether or not this product is making my skin clearer and brighter as the item suggests, but what I do know already is that I like the way it feels on my skin. The moisturizer absorbs into my skin so well. It does not appear greasy with or without makeup. The inclusion of SPF is huge bonus in my mind. I will definitely be buying it again when it runs out as I don't currently have a favourite.

Sadly this product didn't work as intended for me. It does not fully remove my makeup so it will not be replacing my currently nightly cleanser. However I love love love that it does not contain oil or fragrance. I enjoyed the feel of this product on my skin, so I have decided to use it as a toner and a morning cleanser.
