I love the light and tropical smell but other than the scent, nothing about this product stands out. As a basic conditioner it worked fine but it left my hair limp, definitely not filled with "volume and bounty". This conditioner did not work as well as some I have purchased for a quarter of the price.
Overall, this product was average and certainly not worth the $9 price tag.

I love the smell. Its light and tropical but not cloying. Other than the scent, nothing about this product stands out. As a basic shampoo it works fine but I did not see any "volume and bounty". It cleaned my hair, and left it soft but no more than any other regular shampoo would do for a quarter of the price.
Overall, this product was ok but nothing special. Its only stand out was the smell but at a $9 price point, I expect a much better product.

This is one of the best-smelling body washes I have ever used; its scent is light and tropical and doesn't overwhelm. Based on scent alone I would recommend this product. That being said, the remainder of the product is average. The body wash itself is nice and thick so it doesn't get wasted in the shower, and it lathers up well. I didn't find it to be drying but I also didn't find it overly moisturizing. On the plus side, it didn't leave a residue on my skin, just a light scent.
Overall, I would buy this again for the scent, but I don't think it would be my go to for everyday. Besides the scent, this product is average with nothing else to separate it form other products I've used.

Love this product! Its a concentrated beef flavour so a little goes a long way. I use it in everything from stir fries to soups to stews to gravy. Any place I need a little extra beefy flavor, this is my go to. It is slightly salty but not in a bad way, just a little extra pop. I usually decrease the salt I add when using any packaged broth anyway so it balances just fine.
I highly recommend this product, it is a kitchen staple in my household.

I like this product a lot. I use it frequently anytime I need a little chicken flavor. I also add it to homemade soups and stews to round out the flavors. I use it as the main broth when I'm in a rush and making a quick soup.
I do not find this product as salty as some others I have tried nor is there an overwhelming boiled veg taste which others have.
I recommend this as a staple in anyone's kitchen.

I liked the ingredients and the taste was ok but not really something I enjoyed. I found there was a flavor that overpowered everything else.
I think the seasoning was a bit overmuch and could have been toned back a bit.
Despite following the directions to a tee, my sauce also did not thicken very much, leaving it very runny such that it didn't really coat the pasta. I even heated it again to allow some water to evaporate but no dice. I had a different flavor of this same product which thickened beautifully so it may have just been a one off for this flavor.
Overall, I wasn't a big fan and doubt I will purchase this again.

Knorr One Skillet Meals in Steak & Peppers Brown Rice and Quinoa

This one skillet meal was exactly that. It was quick and easy to prepare, the seasoning mix was delicious and the grains cooked up beautifully as directed. The seasoning was not salty nor did it have an "artificial" taste.
I really like that this mix can be dressed up or down. I made it as described on the package but doubled the steak amount and used a red and yellow pepper instead of a red and green. You could use any veg or meat and this would still be delicious. You could even just buy a package of pre-sliced veg and pre-cooked meat and use that....still be delicious. I would buy this again for those evenings when I am short on time but still wanted a hearty meal.

I really wanted to like this product. I love pesto and garlic and I find it hard to find good quality "ready to go" products which are not laden with sugar and more artificial ingredients than actual food.
On the plus side, this product is "real" food. It does not contain added sugar and its ingredient list is pronounceable, normal ingredients. Where this product falls short is on portion size and taste. First off, the package does not state recommended servings (in my experience usually 4 servings is listed on most pre-packaged sides like this) but under the Nutrition Information it lists the info based on 1/3 of the package. Based on this I assume the package is for 3 servings. I found it was just enough for 2. If you are preparing this product expecting there to be a sufficient amount for the standard 4, you will be disappointed and hungry. The second issue is with taste. This product is very, very salty. I am a salt person, I like salty things and have no sodium restrictions. This level of salt was something else entirely. Both myself and my husband found the salt overwhelming and the taste just ok. When you got past the salt, the general flavor was not great...kind of like burnt garlic with a bitter aftertaste.
I cannot recommend this product and will not purchase it in the future.

La Roche-Posay Ultra Micellar Water for Dry/Reactive Skin

La Roche-Posay Ultra Micellar Water is the gentlest cleanser I have ever used. My skin has never felt so soft and hydrated. Usually I use a cleanser and then a heavy moisturizer, especially in winter, but I've used this product on its own without moisturizer and my skin still feels amazing. I have no flaking, no dry patches, and no odd oily patches which I usually get when I use a heavy moisturizer. I also frequently have red bumps and small pimples on my chin and jawline but these are also clearing since I started using this product.
I don't wear a lot of makeup and I found this product to be a confidence booster because my skin felt so nice and looked good even without makeup. That being said, when I used it as a make up remover, it took everything away quickly and effortlessly, no muss no fuss. I do not use waterproof makeup so I cannot speak to its effectiveness in that category but for standard eyeliner, mascara and foundation, it worked great with no irritation.
I highly recommend this product for anyone with dry skin or problem skin. I have been converted and will not be going back to my usual routine...La Roche-Posay Ultra Micellar Water is now my routine!

Love it. I use this with the Aqua light shampoo and it's amazing. Normally, I can only apply conditioner to the roots of my hair because it leaves my scalp greasy. This conditioner leaves my hair AND scalp moisturized without making me look like a grease ball. This is the only conditioner I have found that I can use every time I wash my hair. I love it. -
