I was granted the opportunity by @chickadvisor to #tryitfree and a girl can never say no to free pizza! The product this time around was #DrOetkerCanada and their momenti single serve pizzas.
Sadly I felt this one missed the mark and I probably would've been disappointed if I paid money for it. Essentially it was crispy bread with little flavour, with a few toppings thrown on top. And because the spinach was frozen in clumps, when it cooked it became wet and that doesn't make for a pleasant mouth feel. Despite the crust appearing thick, it was actually very light and airy, but the bite as a whole felt heavy. Instead of a red sauce it was a white sauce, which added to that heaviness, as it could have used some acidity to brighten it up. Overall I think the concept is good, but they need some serious tweaking of the product itself before I would actively seek this out and purchase it.
I hate to leave a not so positive review when a company has graciously given me their product for free to try it, but I also believe in leaving an honest review! I'd give this one a 5/10.

I received Schwarzkopf Hair Mascara in Dark Brown to try for free from ChickAdvisor.
This product is a very interesting concept that replaces the harsh chemicals that are required for root touch-ups in between colourings. The product itself is somewhat in between a mascara and an eyebrow gel, though the application doesn't go on as strong as a regular eyelash mascara. The brush is a good size and very solid, so you don't have to worry about the end bending or wobbling out of place. This allows for a very precise application. I have very thin hair and the product went on well, allowed me to build up the colour, and didn't look chunky or fake.
Out of curiosity I also tried this on my eyebrows to see if I could use it as an eyebrow colouring that would match my roots perfectly. You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. It dries harder than a brow gel would and leaves your brows feeling stiff.
My one complaint with the product would be that you really, really need to wait for it to dry completely before you touch it, otherwise one little touch and you get the product all over your hair. It wouldn't be great if you wanted to put it on before styling your hair. I would probably recommend this product more to hide greys around your temples and hairline, and down a very distinct part. Otherwise it doesn't completely replace actually touching up your roots with colouring.

I bought this because it was on sale, as the regular price tag is a little bit out of my budget, but honestly I might buy it again even if it's not on sale. I love it! The pencil end goes on so smoothly and is even to control, without making your brows look really heavy or fake. The coloured gel is awesome to hold the hairs in place when you're done and make it really easy to shape your brows. -

I should have looked at the label before I bought it, but I was in a rush. When I finally got a moment, I was astounded at the amount of sugar in it. 55g of sugar! That's over twice the recommended amount of sugar an average woman should consume IN A DAY! Just because this isn't "added" sugar doesn't mean it's healthy for you.
The idea of having a protein smoothie available to go is also nice, but the problem with this product is that you could feel the protein powder on your tongue. It's almost a weird mix between powdery and grainy.

It is a tasty option that actually has vitamins and minerals that you need to maintain proper health. That being said, it is incredibly high in sugars, which does not help so much. The other thing I noticed is that despite being made with fruits and vegetables, there was no fibre. It would be much healthier to make a juice or smoothie at home, but this is good on the go. -

This stuff is almost annoyingly addictive. A loaf never lasts long in my house and it's one of the few things my family will eat with raisins. Whenever a slice goes in the toaster, the whole room starts to smell like cinnamon. The taste is always consistent and it's always a good price at my local grocery store. -

This stuff is great! Its title of "multi-purpose" is extremely accurate. It's the one brand that I trust to use throughout the whole house, it doesn't have an overpowering smell, and it doesn't leave behind any streaks or film. It works on the first go and you don't need a lot of it to get the job done. -

This is the kitchen cleaner I absolutely swear by. I have never found something as good as this stuff. All my appliances are stainless steel, so they get finger prints and smudges on them a lot. A light spray of this stuff, used with a microfibre cloth, and the smudges are gone in an instant. -
