I really enjoyed using Maybelline Superstay Full Coverage 24HR Foundation. The pump top allowed me to dispense just the right amount of product, while also ensuring the foundation still left in the bottle is sanitary. The texture is just right - not too light, but not heavy or thick. Application was a breeze, with the foundation spreading easily with my stipple brush. The coverage wasn't heavy, thick, or cakey, but did cover blemishes and uneven skin tone. At the end of the day (10 hours), my skin still looked great, wasn't shiny, and there was no settling into my pores or fine lines. I'd definately use this foundation again! -

Ïogo Greek Yogurt in the large pouch format is a convenient way to store and serve a frequently used food. This is one of those products that you don't know you are missing until you have it.
We don't use sour cream in our home, and instead use greek yogurt daily for a variety of sweet and savoury dishes. Constantly getting out a spoon to scoop a little or a lot for smoothies, parfaits, sauces, dips, and toppings can be a minor annoyance. I found the pouch format to quite convenient, without a need to dirty any additional dishes.
This format was also helpful for serving just a bit more yogurt to my toddler. I hate scooping out too much and wasting it, and like that I can serve her a few more bites worth at a time until she is full.

Mott's Fruitsations +Fibre Raspberry is a perfect healthy snack with a natrually sweet raspberry flavour.
My 18 month old daughter has been opening the cupboards and bringing me a container of this applesauce over the past week. I had to have one myself, and really enjoyed the flavour. I like that there is no added sugar, and there's a little added fibre which is a bonus. I feel good about letting my daughter choose this applesauce as a snack.

Mott's Fruitsations +Fibre Tropical has a unique flavour that is sure to appeal to your entire family.
We decided to open our package after dinner one day, when we wanted something a little sweet. This flavour was equally loved by myself, my husband, and my daughter. It has a surprising pineapple flavour, with a bit of banana, orange and apple. I've never seen pineapple applesauce before, but it was a great combination.
At 50 calories a cup, 2 g of fiber, and 11 g of sugar, this wouldn't be an every day treat in our house. However, for the occasional healthier dessert option, Mott's Fruitsations +Fibre are an excellent choice!

While I was selected as part of the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club Ben & Jerry's campaign, I purchased this product on my own in addition to the product I was chosen to review. I really enjoyed the original flavour I had tried, and decided to give Ben & Jerry's Coffee Caramel Fudge a try.
The coffee flavour is a cross between ice cream and gelato, with a refreshing lightness to it. There are subtle caramel swirls throughout, and chocolate bits that I wouldn't quite classify as "fudge". I would love to see the fudge flavour as a swirl rather than a chocolate bit.
My husband and daughter didn't like this flavour, but it was my favourite of the three we have now tried. So much so, that another carton is now sitting in our freezer. I would recommend you give it a try as well, based on the other reviews it seems to be a personal preference. I give it a thumbs up!

Wow. Just wow. If you think you know what dairy-free ice cream tastes like, you're in for a surprise.
What you will be tasting in each spoonful of Ben & Jerry's PB & Cookies Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert? Creamy vanilla ice cream, bits of chocolate sandwich cookies, and a generous swirl of crunchy peanut butter.
What you won't be tasting? Powdery, gritty, icy, watered down imitation ice cream. If you are lactose intolerant and have tried the options currently available, you know what I mean!
At 290 calories a serving, and four servings a container, this is definitely meant to be a treat. My husband, daughter and myself each had a satisfying amount, and only consumed half of the container. While some may say the price is on the higher side, it is comparable to other Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and is lower than other dairy-free options I have purchased in the past.
If you are avoiding dairy for any reason , or if you just want a great tasting dessert, I would highly recommend giving Ben & Jerry's PB & Cookies a try. My only issue? It was difficult to track down a store that both carried this flavour, and had it in stock. If you see it in store, grab a carton while it's still there!

Canada Dry Club Soda Orange-Mandarin is a delicious way to unwind after a busy day.
As a nursing mother, I choose not to consume any alcoholic beverages. I've found that replacing a glass of wine with a chilled glass of Canada Dry Club Soda is a nice alternative that allows me to savour my drink when shifting from workplace to home life.
Canada Dry Club Soda Orange-Mandarin is no exception. I left a couple cans in the fridge in the morning, and upon returning home muddled a freshly sliced mandarin in the bottom of a glass. I poured the Canada Dry over a few ice cubes, and sipped away as I prepared dinner.
I loved the flavour, and the amount of fizz in this Club Soda. It's great on it's own, with a subtle Orange-Mandarin flavour without a sweet aftertaste. My daughter and husband each stole sips of my drink, which resulted in me making them each their own glass.
Needless to say, the case was gone by the end of the week. I'll be purchasing another this weekend, and highly recommend you do the same.

OxiClean MaxForce Foam Laundry Pre-Treater removed oil splatters from my shirt the first time I tried it.
This is a product that was meant for me. I always seem to be getting little oil splatters on my shirt from cooking, despite wearing an apron. I've tried all of the tricks - baking soda, cornstarch, dish detergent - but none of them completely removed the stain. I've lost a few favourite shirts to this dilemma.
Enter OxiClean MaxForce Foam Laundry Pre-Treater. I pumped a bit on, rubbed it into the fabric, and let it sit overnight (the directions say you can leave it up to a week). I washed in the warmest water the shirt allowed, hung to dry - and the oil splatters were gone.
I've yet to try this out on the grease and oil stains on my husbands work shirts, but I am hopeful!
I love the small size of the bottle, and how a little goes a long way. The price was comparable to other stain treatments, and I often see OxiClean on sale. I will definitely be repurchasing.

OxiClean Colour Shield Laundry Stain Remover Powder removed stubborn tomato sauce stains from my daughter's floral print sweater - without fading the colour of the flowers!
The colour safe brighteners ensured that her white floral tunic was safe, even when soaked overnight. I've used this powder as a paste to spot treat, as a concentrated soak for heavily soiled/stained/dingy items, and as a laundry booster added into the wash. I have seen excellent results with all three methods. At times a small stain will remain after washing, which is thoroughly removed after being hung outside in the sun for a day.
I've had stain removers remove the stain - but also leave a faded garment - in the past. I had no such concerns when using OciClean Colour Shield Powder. While the tub is on the smaller side, a little scoop goes a long way. I've seen this product on sale quite often, and will continue to use it for my family's laundry,
I've had many friends ask how I keep my daughters clothes, and my construction worker husbands white shirts so clean. I always tell them my secret of an overnight OxiClean soak, a scoop added to the wash, and line drying in the sun for the whitest of whites and brightest of brights.

La Roche-Posay Ultra Micellar Water for Oily Skin effectively removed waterproof makeup, while leaving my combination skin feeling clean and balanced.
Over the past ten days, I have been using La Roche-Posay Ultra Micellar to remove my makeup after work. I wear a full face of makeup to work, and like to "take the day off" once I am home. This Micellar water tackled it all - liquid liner, foundation, concealer, as well as liquid lipstick.
I love the way this micellar water left my combination skin feeling. My entire face felt smooth and hydrated, without any tightness. This is the first micellar water I have used with glycerin as an ingredient, and I think this ingredient is what sets La Roche-Posay Ultra Micellar apart from the competition.
A pump top would make it easier to dispense the correct amount of product - especially given the size of the bottle. The cost may be prohibitive to some, but the 400 ml bottle will go a long way. In my experience, La Roche-Posay products have always been worth the price point.
I'll be set for months with my current bottle, but will definitely be repurchasing once I run out. I've found my new favourite makeup remover!
