I have a few of these lip shimmers in different shades that I carry around in various purses. Its narrow packaging makes it easy to apply on my lips without going outside lips and smudging. The colours that I have tried really pop, but the staying power isn't strong after drinking or eating. I'll need to reapply it several times during the day, especially after mealtime, if I want to maintain the same pigmentation. It makes my lips feel very moist though, and gives my lips a refreshing and almost tingling feeling after application. It's small enough that it's easy to carry without feeling bulky, but I wouldn't keep it in anywhere warm or it may melt a bit. -

I was very excited to try this as I often pluck my eyebrows instead of going to the salon and wanted something easier and quicker to use. I really liked the pen design as its sleek and trendy, especially with the rose-gold accent. The light at the end also helps with seeing the hair I’m trying to remove, but not absolutely necessary. The buzzing is louder than expected, but doesn’t actually cause any pain when being used. I moved it in a circular motion as suggested and it removed most of my hair on the first try, but I did have to go back to several areas multiple times to remove stray hairs. It doesn’t produce a perfect finish as you can see stubble-like pieces left since it doesn’t pluck the hair from its follicles. However, it is super convenient to use and I would continue to use it whenever my face isn’t being closely examined or photographed. -

I’ve been a long time user of burt’s bees products, especially their lip balm products. I like that this keeps my lips moist and it can last a long time, but like a lot of its lip balms, it doesn’t smell the best. Very natural smell, but not my preference. It also needs to be reapplied throughout the day to maintain moisture on my lips, though I find that to be the same with many other lips balms of other brands. -

The use of grocery delivery services have increased during the pandemic, but I had never tried it until now. When I received a discount of $25 for purchases of $100+ from Chickadvisor in exchange of trying out the new delivery service, Viola by Sobeys, I jumped at the chance to try it out on a busy weekend.
The overall process of buying the groceries was very simple. Once I made an account online, I could see all the items I could buy with a simple click. Items were all categorized and can be filtered and searched, which made shopping very organized and easy. I could easily add or delete an item from my cart if I changed my mind, and I could also easily see the total spend at the top right corner without having to do any math. Booking a delivery slot was also easy, although the availability was a little scarce. There was a little hiccup when trying to enter my address for the delivery, as it kept incorrectly changing my unit number. This was a little frustrating, but there was a box that allowed you to include special delivery instructions, so I was able to note the correct address.
The actual delivery process was very smooth. I received a call about 15min prior to the actual delivery, where Sobeys checked in with me to let me know they are coming. They also confirmed the special delivery instructions and clarified that it was a contactless delivery during this time. Once they arrived, I saw that all the items were nicely packed in bags and on my porch. I was told all the groceries were temperature checked and any substitutions were explained - which there was none for me.
Overall, this whole experience was very positive despite the scarce delivery slots and the address issue. It really saved time from having to physically go into the store, find various items, line up and come back home. I would definitely consider it again when I have a packed weekend planned.

I received the chocolate flavour premier canada protein for free in exchange for my honest opinion. I had froze some in popsicle form and put the rest in a smoothie like my normal whey powder. In the popsicle form, the chocolate flavour wasn't very pronounced and tasted quite powdery. In the smoothie itself I couldn't taste the chocolate flavour either. It still tasted a little powdery, until I added more ingredients. -

I received the caramel flavour premier protein complimentary in exchange for my honest review. I liked that the package was convenient and small enough to bring with me if I wanted it to. I froze some in popsicle form and that was quite delicious. The popsicles didn't taste grainy and the caramel flavour really came through. When you put it in a smoothie it also nicely complimented the smoothie. -

I received this free product in exchange for my honest reviews. This sponge came in perfect time, as my other ones were falling apart. After a few uses, I've found it to be quite sturdy. The dual side was useful as I was able to clean the stuck-on dirt from my pots and pans from one side while not scratching my bowls and plates with the other side. So far, it hasn't fallen apart yet, unlike some other ones that have fell apart within a week. -

I received this complimentary product from Family Rated in exchange for my honest opinions. I typically go to Tylenol or Advil to relieve pain, and I've found that at times my pain symptoms either don't go away until much later or the pain level is just subdued a little. I took a gelcap the other day when I had a headache, and to my surprise, it went away really quickly. The gelcap itself was easy to swallow with water, and didn't have a weird aftertaste. -

I have seasonal allergies and cat allergies, and though I'd give this a try. Within half an hour, most of my symptoms went away which I was thankful for. However, I noticed one or two symptoms persisted over the next 24 hours. They were far and few between, but I wasn't completely symptom-free. Overall, it felt like all the other allergy meds out there so far - effective, but not 100%. -

I was lucky enough to receive try the Raspberry Fudge flavour for free in exchange for my honest reviews. I love ice cream, so I was super excited to know that there are low-calorie ones I could eat as a treat!
The raspberry flavour is very pronounced, as is the fudge flavour. I like the balance of the sweetness of the fudge and the sourness of the raspberry, though sometimes the fudge overpowers the raspberry depending on the scoop. The ice cream itself tastes light and more like a sorbet than ice cream, as I couldn't really pick out the taste of dairy. It is still a good treat, and tasty enough but not so calorie-dense that I could eat half a container and not feel guilty.
