Low carb, low sugar protein bars are something that I consume quite often. They were a staple when I followed the Keto diet. I found in comparison to the others I have tried it, it was a lot softer. I tend to go for the chewier textured bars.
The flavour was really nice though, but it had a hint of protein taste that can turn some people off. I found it to taste pretty lemony, it had a bit of zing to it.
As for filling me up. I found it did an excellent job of that. It left me feeling satisfied and I could make it to my next meal without any issues.
I would buy this one again. The price is is significantly lower than other sugar reduced bars on the market.

I received the Maybelline New York Facestudio Master Camo Colour Correcting Kit in Light to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
I honestly expected this product to be horrible. I opened it and swatched the colours when I first got it and thought it was going to be too greasy with poor coverage. I was pleasantly surprised to see that each one with the exception of the shimmery highlighter blended out beautiful with pretty much a matte finish. The correcting tones were had just enough pigmentation to correct. I would have liked it if the concealing shades were a bit more thick and pigmented but it still did a pretty good job for the most part. It wasn't full coverage but evened things out. I had a little bit of creasing in my under-eye area.
My favourite thing about the pallete was the highlighter. It is a beautiful rosy shade that I found to blend out nicely.
If I could change one thing about the pallete, it would be to change the yellow in the correcting section and make it a peachy or salmon colour to correct dark circles.
I would recommend it and buy it again.

I received the Maybelline New York Facestudio Master Strobing Liquid Illuminating Highlighter to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
I love highlighters and I found this one to be just okay. I received the shade Light and found that it was a little too frosty for me. I also found it didn't blend out quite as well as I liked. It still is pretty nice though and gives a nice glow to the face. I found that applying it a little more heavily BEFORE my foundation gave me a lit from within look that was very pretty and natural.
I'm not so sure I would buy this one again. I'd probably try the medium one. I'm probably just going to stick with their Strobing Stick which I really enjoy. I would recommend it though.

I received the Maybelline New York The 24k Nudes Eyeshadow Palette to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
This is my third Maybelline palette, and like the others, I was pretty surprised by it.
I'm not a huge fan of the colour pairings, but it does offer a nice variety to come up with some pretty nice looks. The colours are very pretty and they are decently pigmented and blend pretty nicely. Some of the shades are a little harder to work with than others, but I've come to expect this from drugstore palettes. I always found that Maybelline does a great job with their metallics, particularly their bronzes and golds.
I would buy this again and would recommend it!

I received the Maybelline New York Dream Brightening Creamy Concealer in the shade Light to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
I have been using Maybelline Age Rewind Dark Circle concealer in the same shade for years but this concealer is darker and nearly impossible for me to use on my face.
I did use the concealer under my eyes to try and hide my dark circles. It had light to medium coverage. It blended out okay, felt a little waxy but it was creamy. I used a light setting powder to set the concealer. It looked fine at first, but after a bit of wear it had creased.
I probably would buy it in the future in a lighter shade just to see how well it would work to conceal and highlight but the shade I have now I would not buy again.

I received the Maybelline New York Dream Cushion Fresh Face Liquid Foundation in the shade Classic Ivory to review as part of the Chick-Advisor Review Club. #gotitfree
I have been a long-time user of Maybelline foundations and have always used the shade Classic Ivory, but I found this one darker than the others. Hopefully in about a month or so it will be a better match.
I'm not a big fan of using the sponge that is included to apply. It isn't terrible, but I find it hard to get around my face with it. I switched to using a beauty blender and I love it. It goes on so nice with medium coverage and never looks too heavy or cakey. It also builds very nicely. I find it gives the skin a healthy look without being too shiny.
I think the qualify of the foundation is awesome. It is pretty pricy and a poor value for the amount of product you get compared to a bottle. If you are someone who travels a lot or likes to apply makeup on the go, this would be perfect.

The packaging really stands out on these lipsticks and always attracted my attention when I am out shopping. I've been wanting to try them out and see how well they work, and finally gave in.
The lipstick is very creamy and glides on easily. The colour that I got, Suede Splash, was pretty pigmented. It is a very nice nude.
With that said, the wear time was very short for me. I'm lucky if I can get an hour's wear out of it. I also don't find it moisturizing. While it was creamy, my lips feel a little on the dry side after wearing it.
I struggled with the rating on this one. I have been wearing it daily when I go out because I love the colour. I probably won't be repurchasing, but will use it up.

I've been using the MoroccanOil Treatment for around 4 months now and I absolutely love it.
I can put tons of it in my hair and it never feels greasy or leaves my hair weighted down. It leaves it really healthy and shiny looking.
I apply it before blow drying and it does a great job of helping to protect my hair.
I love the smell of it too!
The only downside is the price. It is crazy expensive!

This was my favourite cookie out of the four that I was sent to try.
The cookies were on the thinner side and were crisp and crunchy. It had a great combination of flavours. I could really taste the oatmeal in it. It had just the right amount of sweetness.
The whole family really enjoyed these. I like that they have no artificial colours, flavours and no high-fructose corn syrup so I feel better about giving them to my kids.

Coconut cookies are one of my all time favourites. I was glad to see that this one had no artificial colours, flavours and no high-fructose corn syrup.
I was really pleased with the taste. It had a nice coconut flavour that increased with each bite. The texture was nice. It had the hard and slightly chewy texture that is common with coconut cookies. Some may find it too hard for their liking, they are far from being a macaroon.
I did find that it wasn't as sweet as I am used to. This allowed for the taste of coconut to come out more.
Really nice. I'd get them again.
