These were a little disappointing as I thought the flavours of the freeze pops would be the same as the Crush soft drinks. They come in only three flavours - orange, cream soda and lime. I was really looking forward to trying out the orange flavour, but it came nothing close to how the classic Crush tastes. It's just your standard orange freeze pop flavour. My favourite was the lime. This had the most pronounced flavour and it tasted like a really good lemonade, even though it's advertised as lime. The cream soda flavour was okay - just a standard sweetness. Overall, they were a refreshing treat and delicious, but not what I had expected in terms of likeness to the product being advertised. They were also very scarce in terms of how much product was in each individual portion. Once frozen, the ice only filled up a little more than half the plastic packaging. You definitely need to eat more than one to really feel satisfied. Kids would certainly love them, though, so I'll give it an average score. -

If you have brown hair and brows or want a good, inexpensive contour eyeshadow, you need to add this to your makeup kit. It is so versatile. I've used it to achieve a smokey eye look, to fill my eyebrows and I've also applied it as a liner to my lids. The consistency is smooth and it has the right pigmentation, without a lot of fallout. It's the perfect medium/dark brown which will compliment any other shade(s) you choose to pair with it. This is a great, multi-tasking product! -

This vinegar-based, cayenne pepper hot sauce is so versatile and delicious. You can literally put in on any food to add a little kick. I don't find it to be too spicy, so if you have trouble withstanding hot sauces, this one may be good for you. There is also a stopper at the bottle's opening which allows only a few drops to come out at one time. I feel that this makes it easier to control how much spice you want. This is great stuff! -

The concept behind this lotion is that it's supposed to give you long-lasting hydration that can be felt for up to 7 days. It's labelled for dry, dull skin and this one in particular came in the Cocoa Butter variety/scent. I can say that the lotion is very easily absorbed into skin and doesn't feel greasy at all. Your skin feels instantly smooth and satiny. The cocoa scent is pleasant and not overpowering. Upon the first application, my skin was moisturized but I did have to continuously reapply otherwise, it would not maintain the hydration it claimed on the label. After continuous use of the product, I obviously did notice my skin had more radiance and looked hydrated, but if I forgot to apply it for one day, I would still go back to having dry, dull looking skin. Therefore, the seven day claim, to me is bogus. It also says it includes natural ingredients, which is good, but it's a shame that it also contains parabens. Overall, it's a good cream if you need to instantly improve the appearance of your skin, but if you're not going to apply it every day, then look for something else to maintain your skin's moisture. -

This is my favorite cinnamon flavoured gum. The taste is very intense at first and it feels like a burning sensation on your tongue, but I really enjoy it. You can say it's more of a spicy cinnamon flavour. Some may find it too intense, but as you keep chewing, you get the sweetness too. Chews well for hours and the taste does linger. The gum itself is in a square shaped tablet form and it pops out easily from the packaging. -

I can really say that this is the best toothbrush I've ever tried in my entire life and I've tried everything from the dollar store variety to expensive battery operated ones. Nothing beats this in my opinion. The concept behind it is that it is meant to massage and stimulate your gums with the use of rubber bristles that are placed alongside your regular standard bristles. The product is just as described! If you have sensitive teeth and gums like I do, you'll be very grateful for how gentle this brush feels. The rubber bristles really do feel like your gums are being massaged and the brush itself flexes to fit the shape of your teeth and mouth, even in the hard to reach back areas that can get neglected at times. I was actually surprised it worked so well considering the brush head is wider than your standard regular toothbrush. I do believe, for this reason, it is able to reach plaque much better and therefore, in the long run, improve the health of teeth and gums. The medium bristles did not feel harsh at all. I usually buy toothbrushes with soft bristles to avoid bleeding gums, but this didn't give me any trouble at all. Toothpaste also washes away easily from the bottom of the brush head as there is a tiny space in between the bristles where water can pass through and clean any residue that was left over. Worth paying more for! This toothbrush is so amazing!!! -

This granola bar is really delicious. The dark chocolate chunks are huge, in fact, the biggest I've seen in granola bars, ever! Mixed with the bits of dried cherries, almonds and cranberries, this makes for a great flavour combination. I just love getting the piece of chocolate mixed into the bite. Very filling as a snack and a substantial size, which I find to be bigger than the standard granola bar. The only downside is that it can taste a little dry, so much so that it constantly feels like it's stuck in my throat. I need to drink lots of water afterwards, but I guess that's to be somewhat expected with this type of snack. I would still repurchase, just for the chocolate! -

Since the product hit the shelves, this has become one of my go-to blushes. It's highly pigmented so be careful about not using too much at once. Just gently tap the brush and build up the colour on your cheeks. It does contain sparkle, but it's not to the point of it looking weird on your face. It creates a nice, glowing look instead. The shade, itself, is a warm coral pink.I feel the shade compliments most skin tones and is a great dupe for NAR's Orgasm blush at a mere fraction of the price. This is definitely a blush to have in your repertoire, whether you're a beginner or an expert at applying makeup. -

I received a sample of these Tic Tac candies and have really enjoyed eating them. The concept is that the flavour will change from cherry to cola as the candy dissolves and this is exactly what happened. I especially thought the cola flavour was true to taste. It really made me think I was sipping the soda. The two flavours combined go really well together. The candy, itself, lasts for about a minute before completely dissolving. It doesn't freshen breath like a mint Tic Tac would, but if you need a sweet pick me up, it will do the trick. -

I received this product for free as part of the Product Review Club.
This cream is so luxurious, yet light and fresh at the same time. I really felt special and pampered using it. It instantly made my skin look hydrated and dewy in all the right places. My combination skin felt and looked even. Dryness was no longer evident and the oily parts weren't overly shiny. With continued use of about 3 weeks time, I'm seeing a smoother complexion and my skin looks more plump and healthy. It is a fragranced moisturizer and although I could have done without the scent, it's not too overpowering for it to become a bother. I would have liked it to have an SPF included, so as to skip that extra step. Glad that there are no parabens though. A tad expensive but very well worth it!
