I've tried all of the colors, with the exception of the blue, black and lightest nudes - including the new nudes they launched recently. If you can get these on sale, these are the most affordable liquid lipsticks that exist. They last a decently long time, and will come off a little with meals. They are drying, though with a name like stay matte that's to be expected. These are relatively comfortable to wear due to the texture of the formula, which is a light and whipped texture. The applicator is pretty standard and is long and slender, and doesn't make it easier or harder to apply. My main gripe with these is with the darker colors - all of the darker colors are patchy upon application. Most liquid lipsticks have this problem, but these are a little more noticeable as the formula is so thin. These also have a bit of a fake sweet scent, as well, so that might bother some people. -
PowerBar Plant Protein Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter

I received this product to review from the Chickadvisor Review Club. I like that this is plant based, though I don't find it to be too different from other energy or granola bars. Of the 3 this is my least favorite flavour, though if you like peanut butter, this is similar to other bars with added peanut butter. Texture is decent, chewy, not too crunchy - similar to other granola bars. The bar is filling - like most other granola bars. Its a good option to consider if you aren't into artificial sweeteners. It is on the pricier end for energy bars though. -

I received this product to review from the Chickadvisor Review Club. I like that this is plant based, though I don't find it to be too different from other energy or granola bars. Though I liked the almond flavor better, this is not bad - it is a little too sweet for me though. Texture is decent, chewy, not too crunchy - similar to other granola bars.

I received this item courtesy of a coupon from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club. I think this is a great option if you are lactose intolerant, however, if you are used to regular ice cream, you'll notice that the taste is a bit off immediately that the dairy is missing. It tastes a bit like watered down coconut drink. Almond chunks are fine, nothing unexpected there. I also feel like the ice cream melts slower than regular ice cream. The fudge is also extremely soft, mobile and tacky - I don't think I've every had ice cream where the fudge is like this (can be a good or bad thing depending on your preference for fudge in ice cream.) The ice cream is also the same price as a typical pint of Ben and Jerry's. Given that I'm not lactose intolerant, I'm not sure that I would repurchase this, as the taste is a bit off an affects how much I enjoy the ice cream, but it is a great option for those who are lactose intolerant. They certainly got the texture right. -

I received a sample of this item from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club. I've also purchased and repurchased this item throughout the years - but have now found other ways of cleansing that are superior and cheaper. This is probably the best cleansing wipe that is available at the drugstore. It is really effective for getting makeup off but it does smell really strongly so it's not the most sensitive skin friendly (despite the claims). Good to have if you're a lazy person who forgets to take off their makeup at night. -

I received a sample of this item from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club. This has dimethicone in it, so it can clog your pores - but it contributes to that "smooth, hydrated" skin feel. It does sit decently under makeup though - so I'd use it for that, and not as a moisturizer. It is on the pricier side for a drugstore product especially for the amount (~50ml) that you're getting. Also not the biggest fan of the HA due to the drier climate, might work better in a humid climate. -

I received this product from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club. I was pleasantly surprised by this sunscreen. It dries down, is moisturizing, isn't sticky, and doesn't leave a white cast. It is very light, but its still more of a cream and not a gel. It reminds me a lot of some of the other asian sunscreens out there that are leagues above western sunscreen. It dries down enough that you can put makeup on after it without concern that things are going to slide around. Not the biggest fan of the HA in it, as it's not the best for drier climates - but that's probably why it dried down so well. Other neutrogena sunscreens have been greasy despite claims that it is not - this one is one of the few that actually isn't. -

I received this product as part of the Chickadvisor Product Review Club. I have pin straight hair, that likes to be straight and doesn't hold curls. This product helped my hair hold curls for a good 4 hours before I noticed drooping. This is probably because the mist sprays out super fine. I also have dark hair, which means that sometimes hairspray leaves a noticeable residue. This product did not do that. I don't know if its different enough from other decent hairsprays that I have. For the amount that you're getting for the price, its a little expensive - i'm not sure if i believe in the whole smaller can same amount of mist - it moreso has to do with the nozzle. -

Once Maybelline released the un-unudes shades, my opinion of these liquid lipsticks changed. The un-nudes shades are much more wearable and compliment skintones so much better. The original shade collection was very bright with a couple of very light nude shades. The darker shades aren't patchy, and the heart shaped applicator makes application go a lot smoother. These are pretty comfortable to wear, but they remain tacky on the lips. These wear pretty well, though they aren't the most long wearing formula out there. If you can catch these on sale, they're a pretty good value. -
