This mascara is definitely a one-coat wonder. Amazing! I love the brush, there are long bristles and short ones, so you can coat every last lash. One coat is enough, but two adds a major drama factor. It really opened up my eyes and helps me look awake. I wish this was waterproof, and it did get a bit smudgy towards the end of the day, but this is my new favourite mascara.

I am really impressed with this toothpaste. After using it twice a day for 5 days, I see and feel a huge difference. My teeth feel smoother when I run my tongue over them, and my smile is noticeably brighter! I wish the flavour was more minty and the baking soda taste less pronounced. But, it definitely works.
The tube says to not use it for more than 8 weeks at a time, so I think this is perfect for giving your teeth a boost of whitening! Perfect to start on a Monday when you have a big event the following weekend.

I love the pump design of the bottle, it makes application really easy and I don't feel like I'm wasting any product.
Since using it, I've noticed my skin is definitely softer and less dry. I wish the formula was thicker (like the AM cream), but my skin feels nice when I wake up.

Since using it, I've noticed my skin is definitely softer and less dry. And I love that it has SPF in it. What I don't love is how thick it is. While my skin is softer and more moisturized, It gets greasier in a shorter amount of time. The consistency is more what a night cream should be.

This is a new Blistex product I saw in store. I was looking for a basic lip balm that also gave a bit of natural looking colour. I find that my face looks kind of blah in winter, and I don't want to wear lipstick. And other lip balms with colour (such as Baby Lips) are too expensive and don't give me the colour I want (Nivea pearl is too frosted and makes me look washed out).
Lip Vibrance makes my lips so soft, and give me some nice colour that could be my own lips...just better. Plus it has SPF 15 which is an added bonus. It protects my lips from blustery winter winds and adds a bit of pop to my face!

I received a box of the Quaker Harvest Crunch Quinoa Bars as part of ChickAdvisor's product review club.
The bars had a nice crunch to them, and I liked the chocolate on the bottom. However, I eat quinoa on a regular basis, and expected there to be a lot more nutritional value to the bars. In the small 35g bars, there is: 6g fat, 24g carbs, 1g fiber and only 2g of protein.
The bars are ok to have on hand when you need to grab something really quick to snack on, but at $3.49/box of 5, there are many better options out there.

Carter's / Osh Kosh
Carter's is my favourite place to shop for my LO. The selection is always good and the prices can't be beat - at the rate he grows, I don't want to spend a lot!

I really enjoyed this product. I use scents at home and on me, but never in the car. I've always found the little pine trees to be unsightly!
Enter the Vent Clip. It is small and unassuming, which is perfect. The scent is really nice. It is fresh and natural.
The vent clip has a dial to choose the strength of the scnet, and the lowest one is perfect. My husband thought it was too strong even then, but I like it.
My only complaint is that I cannot adjust the vent with the clip. It hasn't been an issue due to the weather, but in the freezing cold or summer weather it might be more of an annoyance.

I got this as part of the Product Review Club and I was really excited to try it. I got it just before I would be attending the Diet Coke TIFF party, so I knew that the enxt morning would be perfect for a test drive.
When I put it on, I liked how the metal rollerball - it felt cool on my tired, puffy eyes. I also felt a tingly sensation. I think it did help with the puffiness first thing in the morning.
However, the bad outweighs the good.
I did not like that it takes so long to dry. With other brands I've used, I put it on and then can pretty much apply concealer right after. This one takes a while to dry, so I needed to change up my routine and apply it, then dry my hair, then do my makeup. Not a huge deal, but anooying when I forget to do it. Once it dries, it also has a bit of a sticky residue which I did not like. I also found that it didn't reduce the colour of my undereye circles - this after using it daily for 2 weeks.
There areother products on the markey that are better (such as the Garnier eye roller). I would skip this one!
