The first thing that stands out about this brush is it's softness. It really is beautiful and expensive looking and feeling. I initially tried it with the Nude by Nature Loose Powder Foundation and it made a huge mess all over my counter and my shirt! I think its fluffy bristles are better suited to a pressed powder and not to loose powder. I also prefer my powder foundation to have a heavier coverage than provided by this brush and prefer a foundation brush with more tightly packed and shorter bristles. However, I tried it with my blush and I absolutely loved it for this purpose! It applies just the right amount of blush and it nicely diffuses the edges so it blends seamlessly into the skin and looks natural. I'm pretty sure this brush is intended to be used with the loose powder but it just didn't work for me. If you find it too messy like I did then please try it with blush because it really is incredible!

30g of protein is a lot so I was excited to give this shake a try. It tastes pretty good but is really sweet with a bad aftertaste, which made me suspicious since it only has 1g of sugar. I assumed it would be stevia or a natural sweetener but it is not. It is two of the worst chemical fake sugars. I avoid these two sweeteners like the plague so I was really disappointed. The bottom line is that it tastes good and has a ton of protein so if the inclusion of artificial sweeteners doesn't bother you then this is a great choice. For me I would not purchase this product due solely to the artificial sweeteners included.

I've been a user of the old Eos lip balm formula for years so I was pretty excited about a new improved formula. It really is a huge improvement too. Gone is the hard, waxy sphere that I've always known and it is now silky and moisturizing. I'm really impressed with how it hydrates my lips for a long period of time and feels silky and lovely. This is my favorite of the flavours because the mint gives a bit of a tingle which I love. This will be my new everyday balm and I will most definitely repurchase. If you don't like balms that tingle I would recommend the Strawberry Sorbet version which has the same lovely formula but no tingle.

I've been an Eos lip balm user for a while because i love the super cute packaging. This new formula is definitely much improved from the previous one which was a bit waxy and not very moisturizing. This new formula is silky, not sticky or waxy. It's very hydrating and comfortable to use. It also makes a great base for lipstick. The strawberry sorbet version smells like a fresh strawberry dessert without being overly sweet or cloying. I don't notice any flavour and once it's on my lips I can't smell the strawberry at all. I will purchase this again.

This creamy body wash lathered well and rinsed off easily with no residue. It left my skin feeling moisturized and not tight or dry. I used it after I got a bit of sunburn on my shoulder (yes, just one shoulder) and it didn't sting or irritate the burn at all. I think this would be very appropriate for the driest, most sensitive of skin. My favorite thing about this product is the scent. It smells like real orange blossom, not a fake perfume version. It's subtle and lovely! It's definitely the best fragrance I've ever used in a body wash. Very high end!

Absorbs quickly and moisturizes really well but it will take more than a lotion to firm my skin!
This lotion has a nice consistency and the pump dispenses a generous amount so I don't have to pump 10 times to cover each leg! I appreciate a good pump on my lotion bottle! It has a light scent but it wasn't overwhelming or offensive. The lotion absorbs very quickly so I can get dressed immediately after application. I feel that it did an excellent job of moisturizing and quenching my dry skin. The only reason I'm not giving it full marks is due to it's claim that it firms skin in two weeks. Sorry Nivea but it's going to take a lot more than a lotion to firm up this skin! It does hydrate and plump so maybe that's what they mean by firming. It's not going to stop your thighs from jiggling but it is an excellent everyday lotion!

Moisturizes my super dry hands with no stinging!
I have very dry hands that are prone to eczema so I'm pretty picky about my hand creams. This one is of a medium consistency and has a fairly strong perfumed scent. It doesn't sting or irritate my skin. It absorbs quite quickly and doesn't leave my hands feeling greasy. I just applied it and I can type immediately without making a mess of my keyboard. My hands feel quenched and look really glowy. The scent fades after a few minutes so although it isn't my favorite scent it doesn't bother me for very long. I haven't been using this product long enough to tell you if it lives up to it's anti-wrinkle claims but it does make my hands feel more youthful and look a whole lot better!

Moisturizing and leaves a great sheen on legs!
I found this oil to be very moisturizing and soothing on my dry legs and arms. It leaves a pretty sheen/glow because it doesn't really sink in. I waited for quite a while to see if it would but I finally gave up and got dressed. It didn't leave any type of a stain on my clothes so this wasn't a big deal but I do wish it would soak in to the skin quicker. It didn't leave me feeling slippery and greasy but I could definitely tell where I had applied it. Other than that minor quibble I really like this oil and will continue to use it, especially on my legs in the summer. As I've only used this for a week I can't comment on the claim that it reduces the look of stretchmarks but I'm not sure any product can do this.
I didn't notice any kind of scent or fragrance which I appreciate. I also quite liked the packaging. It was easy to get the right amount out of the bottle and wasn't messy at all. Overall I think this is a nice, utilitarian body oil at a pretty good price.

Great creamy taste in a convenient format but contains too much sugar for my liking.
I really like the convenience of the pouch. It's especially great for measuring out yogurt for recipes. The texture is very smooth and uniform and I think that even picky kids would like it. I tried out the vanilla flavour and I thought it was very tasty and creamy. It tastes more like dessert than yogurt. When I saw the sugar content I knew why. 17g per serving is ridiculously high. It's like having half a can of soda for breakfast! I usually eat plain, unflavoured yogurt so I'm not sure how this brand compares to others but for me it's just too much sugar. I enjoyed the taste but I would consider using this as a dessert not as a staple. It would be a good replacement for ice cream with some berries or cut up fruit. I think I would much prefer the plain version of this yogurt which I would assume would have much less sugar but I have not seen it in any of my local stores.
