If you love traditional potato chips (honestly, who doesn't?) you will love popchips.
Why?
a) They are only 120 calories per serving (about half a bag or so) with 4 grams of fat, zero grams saturated fat, no trans fat and no cholesterol.
b) They are neither baked or fried. According to the website "We don't fry it (unhealthy). We don't bake it (undelicious). We take wholesome potatoes, add a little heat and pressure, and pop! It's a chip."
c) They taste great!
I'm pretty sure that Shopper's Drug Mart is the only place in Canada that you can get them, and I have only seen three of the seven flavours they make. The original popchips remind me of Munchos, but sans all the fat and calories while the bbq is similar to the sweet bbq taste of lays.
The bag may feel way too light, but try them, you will not be disappointed.

This is a 3 in 1 cream to powder stick that can be used as concealer, foundation and power.
I use mine as a light foundation, but find that it isn't really that great as a concealer. The stick is small, but I like the texture of the product and how easily it blends into your skin. The product blends well, without accentuating any blemishes or lines. I tend to have a hard time getting the right colour, but I was able to get the perfect match with this (I use nude) I am quite pleased with this product. My only complaint is that it is pretty small and won't last very long. It goes great with Mark matte-nificent oil absorbing powder.

I have found that this drying cream is one of the few products that claims to help heal pimples that actually works. After getting a sample of it I was hooked.
I tend to get under the skin type pimples and this cream seems to be the most effective way to reduce the redness and help stop them before they take over. I put it on at night and by the morning most of the problem has disappeared. I also love that it can be used under makeup to treat the area during the day as well. I am pleased with this product and will continue to use it.

I have trouble finding the right products for my face, either the colour doesn't match properly or the product accentuates my skin issues (dry here, oily there) but with this power I have no problems at all.
It goes on smoothly and disappears. It has a slight tint of colour so if I am feeling lazy, a bit of this does the job to even me out and blur any imperfections. The price is great and it has a nice mirror and sponge type powder puff in it.

I have been using these for quite a while now and absolutely love them! Firstly, they last a very long time. I have switched out colours in my pallet (I have the large one that holds four eye shadows ) but I have yet to actually finish a colour and I tend to use them everyday.
I love that they now have matte shades along with the shimmer. Definitely worth trying, you won't be disappointed!

I often have trouble finding the right moisturizer, one that is going to moisturize enough without leaving me too oily. I found that this eye cream is perfect for me and did not result in any sort of breakout. Since receiving my samples I have become a huge fan of Mario Badesu and have bought a bunch of different product including this eye cream. The price is a bit high, but the quality and customer service is well worth it.

I just received four shades of this lipstick from the review club (thanks chick advisor!) and I am really excited about them.
The shades I got are:
- totally toffee
- plaza pink
- born with it
- sweet nectar
First off, they smell great! As most women can probably relate to, I hate the smell of most lipsticks. These have a slightly sweet smell (slightly vanilla-ish) without that chemical like plastic smell many other lipsticks have. They apply like a dream. The texture is smooth and they glide on like a lip balm. They are not even the slightest bit sticky or thick feeling. The colour is buildable allowing you to go for a more sheer look to a full colour.
Out of the four I received I would say that the "plaza pink" (a pink shade) is my favourite, while "born with it" is very close to one of my current favourites (from a different brand) that has been discontinued.
I am very happy with these lipsticks and will definitely be telling friends about them and will buy them in the future!

I got a sample of this when the company was doing a promotion. I didn't expect it to do anything, but I thought that I might as well give it a try as the sample was enough for almost two weeks.
PGX is essentially a fibre supplement that you take before meals with water. The pill absorbs water and then expands helping you feel full after having eaten less food. Since it is a fibre it also helps balance your blood sugar.
I found that I really did start to get full at lot sooner than without PGX. I have yet to buy more, but I think I will next time I see them on sale (I have seen them as low as $19.99) since I was happy with them and think they can be helpful in weight loss and management.

I have a print copy of the calorie king's fat and carbohydrate counter and I love it! It has the nutritional stats for pretty much any possible food item you can think of, it is amazing. It also has a restaurant guide with popular picks from a ton of different places. It makes it easier to eat out and eat in general when you know what the stats are. A great little book to have in the car. -

I think pandora is quite possibly the neatest thing on the internet (second to chickadvisor that is!) You create your own "radio" station by imputing your favourite artists and songs and it makes what really is the ultimate playlist. It finds artists and songs that are like what you choose so you get to hear songs you already know and find new music. Best of all it is free! -
