I have a constant stash of peppermint tea in my house at all times, and this one is one of the better ones. I like it more b/c of the pyramid tea bag which looks more fun and interesting when jingling it in the cup. And I like how the tag of the bag is attached without a staple... I hate when tea comes with a staple b/c then I can't heat the whole cup in the microwave in a rush, or reheat a cup with it either. This Lipton has a good flavour (although honestly all the peppermint brands taste the same), and has good health benefits too... cooling and calming to the body. Actually the cardboard box it comes in is better than others too b/c it lifts up and down instead of having a ripped and always-open top-hatch in the cupboard. -

I'm a sucker for cute packaging like this one, and I like the results too. I love the atomic diamond cap that the tube has, it's like a little toy. It has a tiny wand that's about a centimetre long and is really easy to apply. I like that the product comes in a wand so I can use it to brush my brows into order while I apply. I like that the mascara like distribution added to my natural brow hairs, adding a little volume and darkness at a time; if you keep applying you can get more dramatic. But applying 1-2 coats gives a nice natural look. I like that it's more natural and less dramatic than with other products like pencils and powders (which can give me the fierce look). Only had one problem off the bat when I accidentally dabbed my brow (twitch) and globbed a dark spot in the browline, so had to fix that. And the price is up there, but the packaging is top-notch too. -
Nexxus® Oil Infinite Dry Hair Oil

This works for what I intended it for. I do have fine hair prone to dryness so anything I can do to lock in moisture is key. So what I like to do with this is put my hair in a pony and smooth it into the tail then I braid it up into a high bun. So this Dry Oil is good for me in the morning and acts as both a conditioning (all day) product and as a quasi-styling product in that it keeps the braid smooth without fly-aways. I love that it goes on dry and not how oils are usually meant for wet hair. At the end of the day when I take my hair down it's nice and soft and doesn't have any styling buildup either. -
Black Diamond Cheese Spread

And then I died. It comes in a Philly cream cheese looking tub, but it's nothing like cream cheese. When I first tasted it, my tastebuds went "bammo!". To me it tastes just like a really good higher priced box of Velveeta shells or the like. I'm always craving a cheesy flavour and this was so good and smooth. I had it on toast and a toasted bagel and was more thrilled than if it were a jam or cream cheese on top. It's so good you could melt it into a bowl of plain macaroni... it would then be a pricey pot of pasta, but it would taste good. It's that cheesy. -

I've been using this oil formula, and their lotion formula for stretch marks and I much prefer the lotion. This one is an oil but the consistency of it is closer to water, so it gets ALL over the place and is really messy to apply b/c it drips off everywhere. I love the coconut smell though; so yummy. I can't say it had reduced my scarring in the slightest, but it is a good moisturizer. I will say one incident with it though; b/c it's so watery the first time I used it it dripped onto my floor and dropped onto the toes of my NEW brown leather booties. I cleaned it off but the next day they were still stained with dark drip marks (oh no!). Solution: I used the Palmer's oil and rubbed it all over the entire pair of leather boots. And it soaked right in and left them consistently the same colour with no stain marks. It turned my dark brown boots into brown-black boots and they look cute and hydrated. So I don't recommend the oil at all as a leather rejuvenator... but it worked and made them smell delish. -

I liked 'em, I usually get a cheesy craving and this filled it. I like to pick apart my food a lot, so I liked eating the nacho flavouring first and it was zesty like a Doritos chip. I liked the difference of the Pringles chip though than the usual corn nacho triangle... these are just cheesy potato chips a la normal Pringles (so not strong enough for dipping... but they're not plain so no need to). They weren't overly saturated like nacho brands, just flavoured on the one side. I would say that this would be my #1 choice of flavours if I was picking out a can of Pringles. (I do have a side-note for Mr. Pringles and Company though; how come they don't design the round lid to fit onto the bottom of the container so you don't lose it?) -

These are a limited time run, maybe for the summer, yes hot dog flavoured potato chip Pringles. I found these at Walmart for $1.25 and love trying out the weird new stuff so had to get them. I really thought they'd be meat flavoured the way other snacks are smokey, BBQ, or chicken/beef artificially flavoured. Unfortunately for my expectations these do not taste like hot dogs at all, don't taste like any meat, don't taste like a grill... it's just mustard flavour, or relish if you try hard. I suggest they change the name from "Hot Diggity Dog" to "Mustard Diggity", and take the hot dog off the package. With that being said it was a nice change to the usual, and was a tasty zesty-mustard flavoured chip. -

I would get this one again, I'm still on the liquid liner bandwagon. This one has the applicator tip that looks like a small nailpolish brush and it's easy for me to use and make little jots to get the flawless liner look. I switched to this also inexpensive one from Hard Candy's version (availability was why), and I would say the two are equally comparable in quality and effect. The only difference is that I was using a trial sample of the Hard Candy one so the vial was 1/2 the size and was the perfect applicator length to fit inside of my palm when applying making it super easy. This NYC version is a longer tube and I feel that makes my hand shake more and I make a few more mistakes; usually globbing it into my eyelashes and then when I blink messing that on my lids. Other than that there's been no issues, no melting or smearing. Makes a flawless deep black impactful line, better than marker styles I'd say. -

I love it that it's chocolate and a dessert, but compared to similar bars it just didn't wow me. I much prefer the Aero Mint which I think has a more unique and comforting flavour. I felt this orange one didn't have the right blend that say a Terry's Chocolate Orange has. This one left me wanting a little bit, that the orange part didn't have enough flavour or was less sweet. It was alright, and I liked it for the fact that it was something new to try out, but I won't buy it again. For me it just wasn't an instant classic. -

I love most all of the Knorr Sidekicks. This Alfredo one is one of the better ones. I love that it cooks in about 10 minutes and it's super simple; just add milk & butter. The Alfredo is nice and creamy and the noodles are a good consistency. Perfect as a side dish, but who am I kidding, I can cook up a whole package for myself and eat half as a meal. A lot of times with Knorr Sides like this one, I add either frozen veggies (like broccoli), or leftover roasted chicken into the pot and mix them all together. This way if I'm using this as the star of a pasta meal I have more food groups covered. Kid approved too, and usually around a dollar. -
