PowerBar Plant Protein Cashew, Salted Caramel and Dark Chocolate
I recieved this as part of a sample kit, and was pleasantly surprised by the bars. They are quite tasty, although I did notice a faint aftertaste. I found the bars fairly filling, which was great for work when I don't always have time to eat lunch.

Schwarzkopf Root Retoucher - Dark Brown
I was surprised at how well this covered the patch of grey hair I have. The colour blended well with my roots. It is essentially paint for your hair, so don’t run your fingers through it too soon after first using it

CND CREATIVE PLAY Top Coat
I found this top coat did nothing to protect my polish. The shine is great, but in terms of stopping chipping, it did nothing. It also took forever to dry, which resulted in smudging

CND CREATIVE PLAY Base Coat
This base coat did the job as any base coat, although I did find that it took forever to dry. I think it's pretty standard -- not bad, but not spectacular.

CND CREATIVE PLAY Nail Lacquer

I got this product as part of a review package. The colour "peony" is a bright pink, which I loved. But I was disappointed in how quickly it chipped on my fingernails, even with the base and top coat. However, my toes are still bright and cheery, but as we all know, polish on the toes lasts significantly longer than polish on the fingers. I wish the quality of the polish was as good as as the colour. I also found it took three coats to really cover my nails. -

As someone who tends to bake her own if she's going to have a muffin, these are pretty good for a store-bought muffin. They are definitely moist, the banana flavour was tasty, and I appreciate the fact they are individually wrapped. If it came down to one of these muffins, or buying something from a coffee shop, I'd go with these. -
Good & Simple Cranberry Orange + Flax Bars
I really wanted to like these bars. They are moist, they smell amazing, and they'd be perfect for throwing in my purse before running out the door to work. But I found as delicious as they smelled, the taste was lacking. There was no flavour, and... +
I really wanted to like these bars. They are moist, they smell amazing, and they'd be perfect for throwing in my purse before running out the door to work. But I found as delicious as they smelled, the taste was lacking. There was no flavour, and if I'm going to be eating carbs, I want it to be worth it. -
GLISS Oil Nutritive Weightless Oil
This oil claims to be weightless, but I did find that it seems a little heavy on my wavy/curly hair. But it did help control frizz, and it's great for when you have to get bedhead under control without time to rewash your hair. It smells nice, and... +
This oil claims to be weightless, but I did find that it seems a little heavy on my wavy/curly hair. But it did help control frizz, and it's great for when you have to get bedhead under control without time to rewash your hair. It smells nice, and my hair seemed to catch the light a lot more when I used it. -
got2b Volumaniac Bodifying Hairspray
This really held my hair well, but didn't leave it feeling overly crunchy or helmet like. I also found it doesn't seem that have that super chemically smell that you get in a lot of hairsprays.

GLISS Oil Nutritive Conditioner
I found this conditioner to be odd -- it doesn't seem to really penetrate any tangles from shampooing, yet still leaves my hair pretty limp. I still found knots when I combed through my wet hair. However, while my hair doesn't seem to have much... +
I found this conditioner to be odd -- it doesn't seem to really penetrate any tangles from shampooing, yet still leaves my hair pretty limp. I still found knots when I combed through my wet hair.
However, while my hair doesn't seem to have much body after using the conditioner, it is really soft. So I think it depends on what you are looking for -- volume or softness. I also have to give it points because I seem to have fewer split ends. So this may be a case of using this occasionally, but not continually.
