This flavour was good, but in comparison to the Banana Cream Pie and Dark Chocolate, I'd say this flavour is my second choice. I find the name of the ice cream to be misleading as the flavour is labelled as Double Churn Chocolate Cheesecake but it tasted as if there was a lot of chocolate and a very very mild cheesecake flavour. My friends also seemed to enjoy the ice cream as well...however they were quite dissappointed when they found out that the ice cream is supposed to taste like chocolate cheesecake. In any case, I'd recommend this flavour to anyone who is looking to enjoy a bowl of rich and creamy chocolate ice cream. If you are looking for a cheesecake flavour ice cream, I'd recommend trying another brand. -

I have a confession...I actually hate banana ice cream desserts. However, I received the lovely Breyers package from the Product Review Club and thought I'd give it a try and offer the dessert to friends when they came to visit. Although this flavour would not be my first choice, I personally found this dessert to be delicious. The ice cream had bits of graham crackers and the banana flavouring was rich and creamy. On the other hand, almost all my friends LOVED the ice cream! After tasting the ice cream at my place, a few of my friends went straight to the supermarket to pick up the ice cream for themselves! -

I was fortunate enough to be chosen to review the ice cream by chickadvisor. I was expecting to receive a small package with the coupons for the ice cream but instead, I received a nice packaging from the Breyers marketing package the contained three bowls as well as spoons for me to share with friends! I highly recommend this product to dark chocolate lovers as the ice cream is rich in flavour and not too sweet. Non-dark chocolate lovers, give it a try as well! The flavour is quite original as it is uncommon to find dark chocolate. Add a bit of whipped cream and strawberries for a very delicious looking dessert! -

I really don't understand why this product won the award as "best of Sephora", seems like I am the only one who dislikes this product. This cleanser did not do anything for me. It never removed my make-up and it felt as if I was just slathering on product on my face, rather than a cleanser designed to clean my face. From my experience, I had to apply it to my face 2-3 times in order to remove any make-up on my face. . . but that's just me? -

I bought this eyelash curler 5 years ago and I'm still using the same one! Quality wise, the curler lasts long - no need to replace the curler because of its durable wear.
In terms of design, the curler is great especially for Asian eyes because the curve is smaller than other brands and I never have to worry about pinching. Every single use never disappoints me as I always get what I want, perfectly curled lashes that makes my eyes look bigger!

I am in love with this product! I have been suffering from acne, scarring for a few years now and I've tried every possible treatment on my face. Unfortunately, nothing has been effective. The weeks prior to my purchase of the clarisonic, I started to break out really badly, to the point where I seriously considered going to the dermatologist because my face was just covered with small pimples and blemishes but after careful research, I decided to shell out the money to purchase this skincare brush. I've been using the brush for about 3 weeks now and I am amazed at how well my face has cleared! The bumps that I had before purchasing the clarisonic brush were completely gone and the texture of my skin was a lot smoother, more even and brighter!
The only downside to this brush is excessive use will greatly irritate your skin and dry it out, so I'd recommend using it once a day at night before bedtime. Another con to this brush is that there is only one button to turn it on/off, change the timer settings and that can be really confusing and frustrating because you have to change the settings by following the beeps (which I found to be confusing).
Of course, this brush is really really expensive but I would not consider it a downside to the brush because I think it is worth every penny (given that it will last me a few years and not break down!). Just think about all the expensive acne products you had to purchase, how quickly it'd add up and yet it still would not treat your skin problems and you'd realize that the price is quite reasonable for such an investment after all.

This foundation is great for everyday coverage that is intense enough to hide the flaws of your skin but at the same time light enough so that you don't feel caked/layered with product on your face. I tend to apply this product by using a foundation brush so that I don't waste the product and I definitely recommend this application method for this foundation.
The pros:
Light coverage for a flawless everyday complexion
Stays on very well
The downside:
The bottle is an aerosol can so sometimes no product will spray out
The price is quite steep for the foundation and it doesn't last as long as other foundation
Overall, I'd still recommend this product to those who want light coverage for a flawless, everyday-wear look.

PLEASE NOTE: My review is for the use of Bio-oil on your face to improve complexion and reduce the appearance of scars.
I have been suffering from the occasional breakout that would often leave a lasting impression on my face in the form of a scar/blemish. After trying several products to reduce the appearance of the blemishes/scars on my face, I turned to bio-oil because I read so many great reviews about the product.
My experience:
Bio-Oil is extremely oily and the first time I put it on my face, I made sure to follow all the instructions properly (massaging techniques, how much to use, etc) and I noticed that it took a really long time for my skin to absorb the oil! So I went to sleep with it on my face and by morning, I woke up with really soft and supple skin! However, after a few more tries, I found that I was breaking out way too much so I completely stopped using it.
The pros:
-Skin really is soft and supple the next day. Great for those with dry skin
The cons:
-Inadequate instructions on how to properly use the product. For example, it states that it should be used twice a day, I don't see a problem with using it at nighttime before bed but what should I do in the morning? Should I use it before I moisturize and put on makeup? Should I even moisturize? I tried various ways to use it such as go without moisturizer and just put make up over the bio-oil product - that did not work out too well as my foundation ended up looking really blotchy/funny. I tried to use it under my moisturizer and that just made my face really oily.
-Further elevated my breakout problems. I literally had 5-6 a day during the week or so I tried to use it on my face.
The bottom line: It probably is great for other stretch marks on various parts of your body, but if you have normal-combination skin, I'd be skeptical about trying it on your face.

The selling point in this product is that it creates 9x the volume instantly with no clumps, Patented MegaBrush Collagen Formula plump lashes one by one and that it is washable. Because of the brush (and maybe the formula), this mascara does an amazing job with creating volume while keeping the lashes separate. Best of all, my lashes were left soft, supple and very natural looking. I also like that the product comes off so easily since it’s not waterproof, but it did not smudge or cause droopy lashes at the end of the day like some other non-waterproof mascara brands I’ve tried in the past. What I don’t like about this product is the smell as it gives off the impression that there are a lot of chemicals in the product but its tolerable, since the pros far outweighs the cons.
Overall, I’d recommend this mascara if you are looking for a product that is easy to apply, natural looking and reasonably priced for everyday wear.

It seems like it's a problem only I am facing, but the headband I purchased from Lululemon was too big for my head. It's so big that it just doesn't stay on my head - AT ALL!
I'm 5'5 with an average built so I'm not too sure if the headband I purchased was a defect in that it was bigger than it should have been, or if Lululemon's headbands are bigger than other makes.
