I received this product free from Chick Advisor as part of their Vichy panel (specifically the Acne line)!
The pros: The product has a light scent which is rare yet appreciated when it comes to acne treatments. I could smell the acne medication, but it was very light and in no way bothersome. The formula was non-greasy or oily and my skin did not react badly to it nor did it leave my skin looking really shiny like some medicated face treatments do. The colour of a product isn't usually TOO significant, but it is in lotions meant for acne as an abundance of chemicals can be harsh on your skin and even make your acne worse. The product was lightly coloured, looked natural and did not harm my skin. Overall, the product left my skin feeling smooth and I really believe it helped improve the look of my skin combined with the cleanser and toner. I'm really happy with the moisture it provides my skin (which is needed from the toner which dries it out a bit).
The cons: The only negative thing I have to say about this the thickness/consistency. I've not ever encountered face lotion with this kind of consistency. It was almost a bit too thick to spread over my face thinly or smoothly. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be that way to lock in moisture, so I'm hesitant to be too critical for this reason. Though personally, it is not a consistency I'm too fond of in a face lotion.

This is a great quality cereal; I love the large granola-like pieces. I also love that it stays crunchy in milk! (It's also great on yogurt).
My only complaint is the distinct flavour of coconut. I'm really not a fan of the fruit and by the front of the package, I would not ever guess that it is an ingredient in the product. Not holding it against Quaker, it's definitely a personal preference. However, as coconut has a very distinct taste, I think it should be made a bit clearer on the product.
That being said, if you like coconut, this is an amazing cereal/granola that is very versatile. It's also an excellent value price wise and I often find it on sale. The box looks small compared to many other cereal boxes, but it is a very filling cereal and a little goes a long way regardless of how it is used.

St. Ives products never disappoint! A lot of products make big claims and really don't deliver but I really feel a difference in my skin after using this product. The oatmeal makes your skin feel clean and the shea butter keeps my skin feeling smooth for quite a while. I also notice my skin has a nice healthy glow after using this product. It's definitely a great, effective product with a low price point! -

I love strong black teas that also have a smooth taste. This tea definitely delivers. I was honestly most surprised about the quality of this tea. I find teas with lower price points tend to have more of an acidic taste than better quality teas (especially with strong black teas). But to my surprise, I did not taste anything but the smooth taste of the black tea! It's a great early morning tea choice. :) -

I got to try this bar from SmartSource and have bought a few more since!
Most important to note... I dislike dark chocolate quite a bit. I always find it too bitter for my liking. However, this chocolate tastes SO amazing. It's creamy, sweet but not too sweet, and the perfect amount of blood orange flavour.

This is a great black tea. It is a stronger black tea and simpler in flavour and aroma than Earl Grey, but nonetheless, flavourful. I recommend it as a breakfast/morning to midday tea because it is stronger than many other black tea variations, though it goes very well with milk, which also makes the tea much milder. I've also tried it as an iced tea, and it's great. Definitely a good staple tea to have. -
Orville Redenbacher Popcorn Chips Buttery

I'm not too crazy about these. The concept is great, but the execution is subpar. I like the texture of them; they really do have a bit of a popcorn fluffiness texture to them, which really gives them an edge in comparison to many other chip alternatives like various brands of cracker chips. I'm a tad disappointed in the flavours though. They are incredibly mind and thus a tad on the bland side. I do appreciate that they do not taste overly salty, but I do wish the flavours were stronger. Still a good chip alternative, but I expect better from Orville. -

This soap really gets through food on dishes without having to scrub too much. Yet it is surprisingly easy on my skin. I also love all the different scents it comes in. This soap is a great option for someone with sensitive skin as many other soaps really eliminate all the moisture from your hands. -
