Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Cherry with Pomegranate
I found the cherry and pomegranate to be an odd combination, not something that I'd buy again. I did like that it was healthier and good quality chocolate, but this was my last favourite of the three bars.

I find I reached for these around 3 p.m. to get me through the final little bit of the work day. This had the right amount of bitterness to not want me to crave more and more sugar, as I sometimes do with other sugary treats I'd reach for around that time of day. But the price is up there, and I'm not sure if I would buy these, they are fairly expensive. If I was looking for a healthier alternative on the go at a gas station or something like that and these were available, I would buy them then. -
Brookside Dark Chocolate Fruit & Nut Bars - Blueberry with Acai
I liked the taste of the fruit in this one, and I'm not normally an Acai person. The chocolate is very good quality, I just find that I classify this as more of a "treat" than a snack that I would take in my lunch every single day.

This is an okay product, but I expect more when paying Smashboxes prices. It's hard to notice, though that may just be because I have quite pale skin. I do like the pink undertones though, and when generously applied can be flattering in a very subtle way. If you want a dramatic strobe or highlight, this isn't for you. -
Clinique Moisture Surge CC Cream
This isn't my daily because I like more coverage, especially in the winter and spring when I'm fairly pale and all spots show. But in the summer or for skiing, or cottage days when I'm going to be outside and don't want to put on any makeup, this is... +
This isn't my daily because I like more coverage, especially in the winter and spring when I'm fairly pale and all spots show. But in the summer or for skiing, or cottage days when I'm going to be outside and don't want to put on any makeup, this is the only product that I use. It covers more than other CC creams I have tried, but still has the SPF 30 that I'm looking for in a CC cream. -
Benefit Cosmetics Dallas Palette
What I like about this is that the long shaped brush that comes with it is perfect for a quick contour job. But I find the colour is slightly too dark for my pale skin, so if you're fair skinned or have fairly pink undertones, it may look harsh on... +
What I like about this is that the long shaped brush that comes with it is perfect for a quick contour job. But I find the colour is slightly too dark for my pale skin, so if you're fair skinned or have fairly pink undertones, it may look harsh on you. Would buy a similar one from Benefit again, but in a different colour. -
Maybelline New York Colossal Volum' Express Mascara
This has a small brush that makes my eyes lashes look kind of stringy, not at all full. If I try and put on a second coat to make them look a little fuller, it gets clumpy.

Vichy Normaderm Corrective Anti-Acne Treatment 24h Hydrating Lotion

This is my go to moisturizer. I was using it at night because that's generally when I moisturize, but I've started using it in the morning because I find it works as an excellent primer for my makeup and helps my foundation blend in well to my skin. If you watch for sales, you can also get a kit that includes the face wash that goes with this for about the same price as the moisturizer solo is for. -

This palette is great - my only gripe is I bought the larger Naked 3 palette that has more colours with some shimmer and more selection, so I find I don't reach for this as often. That said, I recently went on a three week trip and the Naked full palettes are too big for my travel preferences, so this is always my travel go to! I have been using this and the Naked 3 exclusively for the past year, I really don't need anything else. -
