Easy to apply, but I found the colour didn't last very long - it started to fade out just a few hours after application. But the process was easy and the instructions were clear. Not quite the colour I was expecting based on the description - came out closer to lavender rather than blue. -

Finally made the switch (after using or trying to find sugar free/salt free for several years) and couldn't be happier. Love this stuff! Started off with the crunchy (because smooth was out of stock) but had to get a smooth jar because that's what the kids wanted. But they love it too! This is now our go to peanut butter. It's just too bad it is more expensive - you would think that with less ingredients, the cost would be reduced. -

I was so excited when the package arrived in the mail! I had to hold myself back from trying it right away, but I wanted to give the product a fair chance, so I waited until the next morning. Upon opening the jar, the first strike against the product hit me right away with an overpowering floral/rose scent. I am not partial to strong smelling products and so was initially disappointed with this. But I soldiered on, determined to carry through with the review. The product went on well enough - absorbed quickly, not sticky or slimy. Makeup went on nicely overtop. But then, a couple hours later, my face is feeling tight and dry. I am on the third day of using this exclusively in the morning and have to say I think I am done. This product is not providing anything new or outstanding, and the smell and resulting tightness have not been cancelled out by a positive effect. I so appreciate that I got the chance to try this product, but I will not continue with it, nor would I purchase or recommend. #NIVEAMustHaves. #gotitfree. -

Such excitement when the fabulous box arrived! I was expecting a box of pasta, but no, we recieved two boxes of pasta, a lovely set of bamboo utensils, a trivet and two recipe ideas. Fabulous. So we made the spaghetti the first night, and moved onto the rotini the next night. Giada de Laurentiis has a lovely recipe for Rotini with Salsa di Limone on the Foodnetwork website that was perfect to serve with the citrus baked cod that was on the menu for dinner. Plus we got to use the last of our lemon boy tomatoes from the garden. The pasta was great - the flavour, the texture - everyone loved it. It was a perfect meal for the last dying days of summer here. -

We were so excited when the lovely box of pasta arrived! We couldn't wait to try it out. We decided on using one of recipes included in the box - one pot creamy spaghetti. A few substitutions were made, such as veggie broth instead of chicken broth, and tuna instead of ham. It was great! Everyone gobbled it up, including the kids. There was even enough left over for my lunch the next day, and it reheated beautifully. Nobody could tell the difference between the veggie spaghetti and our regular kind. It tasted just as good and the texture was great. I will definitely buy this pasta! -
NIVEA Moisturizing Day Cream SPF 15
I tried it, it was okay - but will I use again? Probably not. It's one of those things that will find its way to the back of cabinet and resurface again when I run out of a current product. I like the SPF factor, but would prefer a higher number... +
I tried it, it was okay - but will I use again? Probably not. It's one of those things that will find its way to the back of cabinet and resurface again when I run out of a current product. I like the SPF factor, but would prefer a higher number. And would definitely prefer an unscented or definitely toned down scented product. Seems a bit heavy for day use. Overall, its okay, but not on my fave list. -

Great meatless alternative. The only "chicken" my kids will eat! Also, a very good product to have on hand for a non vegetarian husband on his dinner nights. He often struggles to provide a balanced meal that does not include meat, so this gives him great options for the whole family. -
Kraft Dinner Smart
Taste great and a healthier version. Not much difference between the smart Kraft dinner and the original as far as taste goes. I find it can overcook really fast and then gets quite mushy. But as long as I set the timer for 6 minutes and no longer... +
Taste great and a healthier version. Not much difference between the smart Kraft dinner and the original as far as taste goes. I find it can overcook really fast and then gets quite mushy. But as long as I set the timer for 6 minutes and no longer, it comes out great every time. -
St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
Love it. Easy to use, not expensive yet effective. Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth without pain or redness. I will definitely continue to purchase.

COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Mascara

I am not a fan of this mascara. I think maybe the brush is where the product fails. I find that such a wide brush makes it difficult to apply with precision. I also find I have to apply about three or four coats to get the full effect of volume. While the price is good, I don't know that it is great because of the amount of product that needs to be applied at one time. It just means I go through it that much faster. -
