The flavour that I tried was the Mocha Fudge Brownie. Im usually not a fan of chocolatey flavours, however the "Mocha" part lured me in, and I must say I was extremely impressed. The ice cream tasted rich and delacent, it was hard to believe that it was actually *light* and good for you. The flavour actually tasted like BROWNIE, not simply that artificial chocolate taste that most ice cream flavours encompass. I brought this to my best friends "girls night" and the three of us managed to finish the whole tub, without feeling the cognitive guilt after. This ice cream is PERFECT for those hard breakups, it makes everything better(without having to pack on the pounds) and heightens your chances to meeting cute boys! I would recommend this product to friends, however I think the price tag is a little too steep to make it a regular purchase. $7.99 for a tub of ice cream seems unreasonable, even if it is half the fat. I would make this a special occassion purchase, not my regular ice cream (unless I win this weeks LottoMax!) -

I got a coupon for a free full sized sample of this lotion. I probably would not have bought it otherwise, because it retailed for about $10.99 at Shoppers when it first came out, but Im extremely glad I tried it; its my new favourite lotion. I'm always hoping that a new product will finally come around that meets all of my needs and I'll no longer be on a quest for something just a little bit better than the lotions I already use. Vaseline Sheer Infusion definately met this. It contains "Stratys-3", which accordingly is supposed to moisturize not only the top layer of skin but also from the inside. I can't stand lotions that just sit on top of my skin and feel greasy, or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, absorb so quickly that I'm back to feeling dry a few minutes after application. I tried the "Botanical Bliss" out of the 3 types, primarily due tothe fact that it smelt amazing and contained some actual botanical ingridients, such as eucalyptus and bark extract. I took this lotion on vacation with me, and after 7 intensive days of non stop tanning (with SPF of course!) I started peeling. boo. I know. I cried a little, and I thought all was lost, however thsi lotion was SO moisturizing; it restored my tan, and prevented further peeling. It really was worth it (well considering it was a FREE sample haha) but I would have honestly paid the $10.99 and been satisfied. Now I see it at walmar for approximately $5, which makes it my lotion of choice.

I went to this salon to get my hair coloured. I usually go to my hairstylist Enza, however she was on vacation at the time and I was in desperate need of a new hair colour. I requested chocolate brown hair with platinum peekaboo highlights. What I got was Orange hair with light orange highlights. Not only that but I was told it would cost me $140, and they charged me $170. I really regret not going back, or simply refusing to pay for the service, but I was young at time. Its a nice salon, but the level of skill of the colourists and hairstylists are BELOW average. -

I have the same version of this in a bronzer (medium/dark) and I absolutely love it. I cant stand the bronzers that are too shimmery, and as I like to put bronzer all over my face, and I hate when you step outside, and all of a sudden your face (and only your face) is gleaming in the sunlight. Not my thing. I love MAC bronzers, but I find they have too much shimmer to them. This Wet & Wild bronzer is matte; and it stays on for the whole day. It prevents my face from shining, and gives me a natural sun kissed look. Because its not shimmery, it does not look like Im wearing bronzer. -

I went to this Bistro in early Spring. It is located on college street, and it is the most heartwarming, and comforting bistro i have ever been to in Toronto. It has a cozy atmosphere, with an incredible selection of wines and dishes. Generally, it has Middle Eastern themed food, such as naan bread etc, but it has a modern feel. I had a Scroll, which is like a crepe which was loaded with chicken, and served with the absolute best salad in the world. The dressing was minimal but the salad had such great taste that dressing was not even needed. It is very often rather busy, and although it is not known to the public, im extremely glad I discovered it because it is now my favourite bistro, when im feeling exotic. -

I have always been looking for an "at home" hair dye kit that will get my hair the colour that i want. I have dark hair, and all the "dark brown" hair dyes that i have been using would always turn my ends black, and lighten my roots. Perfect 10 gave me a professional and even hair colouring job that I was extremely satisfied with. This has become by go-to brand, and I will never go back to anything else. The price is a bit higher than other brands, but you can get it on sale for under $12. When I think of all the money I was previously spending on dying my hair and trying to prevent it from fading, thsi product is definately a bargain, because the coulour lasts! -

Although I am not a huge fan of self tanners, i must recommend this one. Im more of an "au naturel" type of girl, but this self tanner is great when you are going out and need a nice bronze tan. The gel one is the best, because you can see exactly where your applying it; i would recommend using gloves (i use the ones that come with any at home hair dye kit) and apply it with those, or else you will have an orange brown mess between your fingers. I love this product because it has a shimmer to it and although it does tend to smell on the "chemical" side, the smell goes away within a few hours. Definately a thumbs up!! -

After all the raves ive heard about this product, I decided to finally try it, and i was utterly disappointed. I thought at first it might have been the makeup that i was applying over it, but i tried both liquid and powder foundation and neither looked good. When i first applied it in the morning it was fine, but by lunch time i has foundation patches all over my face; and i know i applied it correctly. In my opinion, this product is overpriced, and although i have witnessed it working on others, its not for certain skin types. If you have oily skin, i dont recommend it or you will end up with some serious patchwork on your face!! -

I absolutely LOVE this foundation. I like trying new things, and recently Ive been looking for a foundation that is similar to this one, but with no luck. All the foundations out there are either too heavy, too cakey, not enough coverage, wrong colour.. etc. This is my lifetime foundation, and I have just began to live with the fact that there are no substitutes that even measure up. Its a mineral foundation, which unlike most of MAC products will not make you break out, because it is all from natural substances. It is available in such a wide range of colours, that, if you cannot find your colour..there must be something wrong with you. Most of the colours will adapt to your skin colour and blend in. It also provides decent coverage (i use a dab of concealer under the foundation for any big blemishes) and it is not cakey, in fact I am told that it does not look like I am wearing makeup,, when really I am wearing quite a bit. It gives you a nice flawless finish, that will not rub off throughout the day. In general, i highly recommend this foundation, to anyone who may not have an even skin tone, or needs coverage in only specific places (under eye, blemish) -

Have you ever wished, that there would be a perfume out there that gives you that "shower fresh" feeling,* and smells refreshing and clean, whithout having overpowering perfume-ish scents? This dove body mist is amazing. Personally I find the cucumber & green tea scent (green bottle) the best. The bottle is small and convinient to throw into your purse, which makes it all the better for using on a night out. I have been longing to find a body mist that does not smell overpowering (flowery or fruity), and this scent is the perfect catch. I also use the accompanying body wash, which makes the scent stay on even longer. Definately a product i would recommend, especially during the summer time!
* please note, this product is NOT a shower substitute. =D
