I cook everything from scratch! Absolutely everything...except these fries (the wedges variety are also delicious).
Using these saves me a good 30 minutes in the kitchen and they're way more delicious than anything I could whip up myself!
There is ACTUAL potato inside, not just air (as many fries seem to be potatoless). The outside is crispy and SUPER tasty.
I eat these a couple of times a week and I can imagine I will continue doing so for a long time.

Made with natural products AND for an affordable price.
This is hands down, the best dry shampoo I have ever used.
Most leave my hair feeling...odd. I can't quite describe it but as if there is a chalky film covering it and in the end, I'd rather just re-wash it.
But this is the first one that makes no other difference other than what it is designed to do. Remove some of the oil.
Leaves no white stains in my super dark hair either, so it's a winner!!!

Got this as a sample in one of my subscriptions and I love it!
It has many uses;
Mascara on it's own - This is tinted so you can use it by itself without using a black mascara on top. It's subtle and works for a 'natural' dressed down look.
Day Mascara/Night Primer - If you're going out after work and have no time to redo your makeup. You can use this subtle colour and lift during the day, it doesn't dry out your lashes so you can put mascara right on top of it once you finish work for a quick perk up!
Purely as a primer: This is how I use it. I put it on my lashes before a night out and as soon as it dries, I layer on the black mascara (usually roller lash or they're real by benefit) and it lengthens your lashes noticeably.
Only downside is that it's a lot of money to spend on a product which is not 'necessary' in my book.
I probably won't be buying a full size for this reason only, it essentially doubles the cost of my eyelash products and I can't quite justify it.

Benefit Cosmetics They're Real! Mascara
Another great review for a Benefit Mascara. They can do no wrong... Great lift, and I love the little ball of spikes at the end of the brush, really let's you get into the corners and great for the bottom lashes. This does not clump your lashes... +
Another great review for a Benefit Mascara.
They can do no wrong...
Great lift, and I love the little ball of spikes at the end of the brush, really let's you get into the corners and great for the bottom lashes.
This does not clump your lashes together and lasts a good while without drying up.
If Roller Lash hadn't won my heart, this would be my mascara of choice.

LOVE this bronzer.
I use it for nights out as it's pretty brown!
Probably too dark for my pale skin as an every day thing, but I won't go on a night out without it.
The price is relatively good, and I've tried much more expensive bronzers that weren't half as effective.
Only problem is, I found that the bronzer breaks up into tiny pieces when there's still a good 1/4 product left, which is annoying!

Bourjois Paris Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder
I've been using this bronzer for about 10 years solid. And I've only probably ever purchased 4. That's how long it lasts. I moved to Canada from the UK 2 years ago and I still have a good 1/2 of this bronzer left after HEAVY use... +
I've been using this bronzer for about 10 years solid. And I've only probably ever purchased 4. That's how long it lasts.
I moved to Canada from the UK 2 years ago and I still have a good 1/2 of this bronzer left after HEAVY use every...single...day.
I can't find anywhere that sells it here, but it lasts so long that I'll be making a trip home before it runs out anyway.
It smells lovely and it's super cheap, around $12 I think...
Not too orange, almost subtle, I often top it up with extra darker bronzer for nights out but it's great for everyday usage.

People seem to hate this shampoo (cleansing conditioner)...I don't see why.
I got the Chaz Dean cleansing conditioner pack which I ordered from the infomercial.
It made my hair thicker, and saved time using one product instead of two, but it's EXPENSIVE.
And I feel that they scam you somewhat, the don't warn you that you MUST cancel your 'subscription' to the service or you will be billed again next month.
Luckily I realised this and cancelled in time, but I'm sure many don't.
If it wasn't so expensive I'd purchase it again, but if you use the amount (around 30 pumps) they advise you to, you'd be going through bottles every two weeks or so.

Bed Head Tigi Urban Anti+Dotes Resurrection Shampoo and Conditioner
Love love love this shampoo. So happy I finally found it! It makes my flat, super fine, lifeless hair look thick, shiny and bouncy! I thought it would stop working after half a bottle like all other shampoos but it continues to amaze me :)

Love this foundation and have been using it for ages.
As with all MAC foundations comes in every shade you can imagine, and the ladies are good at matching you with your perfect one.
You can build quite a thick coverage, which I need cause I hate my freckles.
It makes your skin look dewy, not too matt!
Only problem - they test on animals!!!
This has become too much of a negative point for me and I am afraid I am going to have to change it up!

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin-E & Peppermint
It's more expensive than the average lipbalm but so worth it. I've tried most flavours and all smell so good and the texture is amazing. I won't buy any other lip balm!
