As a hater if most vegan cheeses on the market, I was pretty excited when people told me that these are soooo much better than other brands. I was skeptical because the ingredients are pretty similar to a few other brands I have found disgusting, but I thought the high price tag might indicate that they were better than the competition - after all, people seem willing to buy them!
Anyway, I was let down yet again. They melt way too liquidy and the exact same fake-cheese aftertaste I HATE.
For others who have been let down by the vegan cheeses available in supermarkets, I would highly recommend fermented nut cheeses. While the texture is typically soft and they don't typically melt well, the flavour FAR surpasses Chao and other starch-and-oil-based brands, and there are a lot of small Canadian companies producing really great ones that ACTUALLY taste like cheese!

I love the fine lines this pencil creates!! The formula is creamy enough to go on smoothly, yet hard enough that it's not too delicate, and lasts a long time.

I got this product on clearance and am thrilled to have it. The case is soooo cute - I love the mirrored letters on the front.
Even though I love the colours, they are a LOT less pigmented than I had hoped. You definitely have to apply with a wet brush, both to get decent colour and also to keep it from getting EVERYWHERE.
With that being said, they do have a lot of sparkle-power, so I do get a decent amount of use out of it.
Overall, I would say to look for this product on sale, or find similarly sparkly shades (since that's the main appeal) from cheaper brands, because I wasn't blown away by the quality.

I have tried both of the available scents and am in love! Especially with the Twilight one, as I much prefer the lavender/tonka scent over bubblegum, plus I love the cool-toned sheen it leaves on my skin (may look a little strange on extremely warm tones however).
The shimmer can be subtle or intense, depending on how much you apply. I use it as a massage bar and then sprinkle some of the powder over top. It melts into my skin sooo nicely and makes me so soft!
My only complaint is that one of my jars was not sealed completely around the seams, so it is really messy. However, I just apply it in bed because I like powdering my sheets anyway.

The caramel in this product was super rich and sweet, which I appreciated. It was pretty cream as well. Perhaps not particularly healthy, but I do like that it's nut-based. However, the cashew bits in it were just WEIRD. They didn't really add much... +
The caramel in this product was super rich and sweet, which I appreciated. It was pretty cream as well. Perhaps not particularly healthy, but I do like that it's nut-based. However, the cashew bits in it were just WEIRD. They didn't really add much in terms of flavour, and the texture was kind of soft and soggy. It would have been much nicer if they were pralines or something, or if they retained more crunch.
Despite this being a pretty good option, however, I have had tastier vegan ice creams -the other flavours I've tried from this line are better, and I much prefer Ben & Jerry's (which tends to be about a dollar cheaper). I do prefer this brand over coconut dream and almond bliss though.
