I really like Activia's line of low calorie yogurts, especially the Vanilla. I've tried the original and there is a bit of a taste difference given the substitution with sweeteners, but it's great overall! I use it in my fruit & yogurt parfait topped with granola every day, and it makes for a healthy treat.
I hope that Danone comes out with addition low calorie flavors soon!

I really like Quaker Rice Cakes as a quick snack on their own, or covered in peanut butter, fruits, and yogurt...there are a million possibilities! The caramel & chocolate version has a nice light caramel taste that isn't too sweet, and there are mini chocolate chips in each cake for added deliciousness.
I've also tried the mini versions which are great for kids and adults alike! The minis are also great to use with chocolate fondue and yogurt dips for parties.
I'll keep buying these again and again!

I'm a big fan of Betty Crocker cake mixes and frostings and I've been a longtime user of the original frosting. I have now tried the whipped vanilla, cream cheese and chocolate frostings and they are a welcome addition to my baking. I find them much easier to spread, and the uses are just as versatile. It depends on the type of frosted look and taste you are going for though however. If you like a stiff frosting, then the original is probably the best option. However, I especially like the whipped frosting for whoopie pies and desserts that are lighter.
The taste is fantastic, and I've even used these frostings melted as fondue for fruits, pretzels, marshmallows, etc.
I would definitely recommend giving this a try!

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Sunscreen SPF 70

This is a light-weight, broad spectrum high SPF sunscreen that is great to use on the face and body. It's not at all greasy, nor as heavy as other sunscreens, but it does leave the typical white residue behind. I do have medium-dark skin so I don't burn; however, I do have dermatologic issues that require me to wear to sunscreen on a daily basis throughout the year. I have put this underneath my makeup as well, and it doesn't lead to any creasing.
I would definitely recommend giving this a try!

Marzeetti Sriracha
This dip is amazing! I love Sriracha and this dip has a zesty and spicy flavor that goes well with veggies, crackers and all appetizers in general. I would definitely recommend giving it a try!

As someone who considers themselves an icecream connoisseur, I've tried MANY different ice cream products all around the world. I decided to try Nestle's line of 'Sundaes' in a tub - Overall, I was unimpressed. This particular review is about the Chillin Chocolate Brownie, which consists of vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce swirls and chunks of very dry 'brownies' on top. I wasn't particularly impressed, and I won't be buying this again. I have also tried the Strawberry Shortcake and Caramel Chocolate Drama, and I was just as unimpressed with these. Basically, if you take a McDonald's soft serve doused with either the strawberry, chocolate or caramel topping...then freeze it a bit longer, voila, you have this product, which you could just as easily create at home, and better I'm sure. -

YSL's Vinyl Couture line for 2016 has come out with a number of shades including gold & silver which are amazing, as well as green, blue, pink, purple and aubergine. I myself tried the sparkly shades and I was so impressed. The mascara doesn't clump, and is long lasting, adding a sparkly finish to your eye makeup. I would recommend giving it a try! -

I was hesitant to buy this product as I've never heard of this UK-based brand, but I decided to give it a try. I am so impressed with the quality of the foundation, the fact that it actually lasts 12+ hours, and it is of high quality, despite the incredibly low price that I paid.
The foundation comes in a pump and goes on quite smoothly. The only downside I found was that after getting it in my eyes, it did burn, but I've had no issues with it aside from that. I often find it difficult to find shades of foundation/concealer to match my medium/dark skin, but I found that this product actually adapts to your own skin color in a way.
I have tried applying it with my fingers, with an airbrush sponge, a foundation brush and various other methods, and each time I am quite pleased with the results. It didn't crease or cake on my skin, which was fantastic for me, because that has been my experience with many liquid foundations/concealers.
I would definitely recommend giving this a try! I bought this in a department store in Canada, so I'm not entirely sure where it would be available in North America on an ongoing basis, but if you can find it, stock up!

This body butter is rich and hydrating, all at a very reasonable cost, especially in comparison to more expensive brands which have the same efficacy really. It goes on quite smooth and quickly absorbs. The scent of cocoa butter is light and not at all overpowering. This body butter is great especially in the winter months when your skin could use the extra hydration! -

I love the Smartfood brand of Popcorn - it's so addictive! I recently purchased the Creamy Dill and was pleasantly surprised at how flavorful it was. The nutritional information states that there are 250 calories per 4 cups, and I never eat that amount anyway, so it feels like a guiltless snack, especially in comparison to chips and other fried snacks.
I would definitely recommend giving this a try, and I can't wait to test out the other flavors as well!
