The taste of this almond, sea salt and dark chocolate protein bar is pretty good and I have tried a lot of protein bars, shakes, smoothies, etc. I find this does not have a strong “protein” taste. The PowerBars are like a delicious treat for me with the chocolate in it. They have less calories than my regular protein bar but more sugar (10 grams), although there are no artificial sweeteners. I also like how these are gluten free. I have no preference for either #PowerBarPlantProtein flavours because I find both of them to be similiar. I will purchase these as one of my regular protein bars in the future. #gotitfree from @ChickAdvisor and @PowerBarCanada -

I have a PomChi that is two years old. She loved the taste of this dog food and eats it all in a minute. I think she likes the variety of kibble and the soft, tender pieces. I like some of the added benefits of this dog food like omega6 and glucosamine, however I also see some ingredients in the list that are not included in our premium dog food. So far our dog tolerates this food well. I am undecided at this point whether to buy this again but I know my dog loves eating it.

Knorr Selects Roasted Garlic Alfredo Rice

My family had a chance to try out this side dish from @FamilyRatedClub. The preparation was easy and ready in about ten minutes, and I just needed to add water, milk, and unsalted butter. My husband and I liked it because we love roasted garlic. My three kids did not like the taste or texture of the rice and found the garlic to be a little overpowering. I think if I used this rice as a part of a main dish with chicken and some veggies instead of as a side dish my family would like it more. My concerns were about the carb and sodium intake being a little high for diabetes and high blood pressure. If I were to purchase this again, it would be as an occasional meal because of the high carb and sodium intake. #tryknorr #gotitfree -
L'Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Frame & Set

This was my first time trying a gel to fill in my sparse eyebrows. I normally use an eyebrow pencil. I loved this! I like how I can make it light and “natural looking”. I have dark brown hair and this colour matched perfectly. I love the brush and spoolie because it makes it so much easier to apply and I find the gel blends well using both. It is definitely smudge proof but it wasn’t waterproof for me. My daughter loves having bold brows and really liked this as well, finding it buildable . She has black hair though so this deep brunette shade wasn’t right for her. If there was a color that was black or closer to black, she would use this too. I am definitely purchasing this again and ditching my eyebrow pencil. -

This is a waterproof pencil eyeliner that is supposed to last up to 24 hours. I had difficulty locating this particular eyeliner and when I did, I could only find the colour grey. The grey colour looked almost blue on my skin so I wasn’t happy about that, maybe I would have liked it better in black. I normally use a liquid eyeliner so I found it a little challenging getting a smooth line. The pencil didn’t irritate my eyes even when I wore it on my waterline. It’s definitely smudge resistant. When I applied it to my waterline, it partially wore off in less than two hours. I think I will stick to my liquid eyeliner as I find it easier to apply. If you are used to pencil eyeliners you will like this. -

My family had a chance to try out this meal starter through the FamilyRatedClub. I was surprised at how fast the meal was to prepare. My husband is diabetic so we switched the corn to mushrooms but otherwise made the meal as directed. The spicy flavour went perfectly with the brown rice and quinoa but was not overpowering. The portion was just right for us, two adults and three children with no leftovers. I also liked how I only needed one skillet to make this, making cleanup easier too. I will definitively be purchasing this again for weekdays when I need a quick and easy meal. -

This is a great product. It comes with a mist diffuser unit, batteries and one refill. It is similiar to an Air Wick Freshmatic in a lot of ways. It is portable using three batteries, has three levels of fragrance and an off switch, and the fragrance is released automatically.
Pros
The oil refill lasts up to 45 days dependant on the level of fragrance you chose.
The mist diffuser is compact, about half the height of the Freshmatic but slightly wider.
It's compact size is still strong enough to freshen a large room on the strongest level.
The mist diffuser has no sound which is great so I can place this anywhere, even in my bedroom.
Cons
Instead of a spray, the fragrance is released in a mist. It is a little difficult trying to find the right placement for this unit to keep the mist away from my children, pets and furniture.
The lavender and almond blossom fragrance itself can be a little strong, you definitely need to like lavender to enjoy this. My family was not fond of the fragrance.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the mist diffuser and will continue to use it to freshen my home but I will be trying out the other scent refills.

Schwarzkopf root retoucher is a spray on hair colour that covers your grey hair and your roots. I thought it was a little difficult to apply myself because I found it hard to see what I was doing, so I had my daughter spray my hair for me. I tried the dark brown spray and unfortunately it did not match my hair colour and it was too light. The black spray would have been too dark, so I must be somewhere in between those colours. I don't have grey hair, I have white as snow "greys", so it took several sprays to completely cover it. The end result looked greasy and unnatural. I don't think I will be buying this in the future because it didn't match my hair colour and I don't feel confident enough applying it. #tryRootRetoucher #CreateYourStyle "gotitfree

I tried the unlimited kit in red, pink, and purple. I chose to go bold instead of using the pastelizer, and decided to alternate streaks of colour. My hair already had bleached ends so all I needed to do was add the colours.
The kit comes with three small tubes of colour, a pastelizer, a conditioner, applicator brush, plastic gloves and a tray to mix colours if needed. The colours were in a thick cream, making it very easy to apply with the included brush. There is not a lot of colour included so I had to very carefully apply the colour with a thin layer of dye to make sure I had enough to cover all my hair. I think the results would have been better if I had more dye, I can see some areas that could have looked better if it had a more uniform coat. I definitely needed a second box, and I only did the ends of my hair. The dye itself doesn't have a strong smell and rinsed out easily.
The colours came out so vibrant! The red was more dominant than the pink and purple but all three colours are visible. I absolutely love how it looks and I will definitely be purchasing again, although I wish it came with bigger tubes of dye. #gotitfree thanks to the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club

I love Tetley tea, and this poise-vata tea was no exception. I wasn't sure what to expect because the ingredients included Cinnamon bark, Camomile, Fennel, Tulsi, Licorice root, Orange peels, and Cardamom but this tea tasted great. I liked that the tea was caffeine and calorie free, with no artificial ingredients. -
