IÖGO POUCH Greek Yogurt in vanilla was delicious!
I #gotitfree from Chickadvisor's Product Review Club. Initially I was skeptical, I thought the whole pouch thing was really just a gimmick. I compared the unit price of the pouch to regular containers of the same product and it was comparable, so I wondered what the point was of having it in a pouch. But when I went to try it the next morning, I noticed the picture on the back of the pouch of a cute mason jar yogurt parfait and a light bulb went off. This isn't just yogurt in different packaging, this is a delicious high quality product, made more efficient and convenient by it's clever packaging!
The first day I just poured it into a bowl and ate it plain ...YUM! It was a creamy delicious vanilla flavour that wasn't too sweet and left me full until lunch (a serving as listed on the pouch is 3/4 of a cup). However the second day I was inspired to make something prettier, so I made an Instagram worthy yogurt parfait complete with kiwi and muesli (check out my picture).
Overall I was satisfied with this product and would likely repurchase it. Although my day to day doesn't necessarily require the type of convenience the pouch offers I can see it coming in handy especially in the summer months. Taking it on a picnic for example would be perfect because it's easy to stuff into a packed lunch bag or a cooler (it is not as cumbersome and space-taking as a tub would be) and it doesn't require a spoon as you can pour it out of the spout! I would definitely recommend this product. Thanks IÖGO and Chickadvisor!

Batiste Dry Shampoo PLUS Beautiful Brunette has literally changed my life.
Not to be dramatic or anything, but dry shampoo has quite literally changed my day to day routines, thus changing my life. I don't know what I would do without dry shampoo and the Batiste line is certainly the best. Let me give you a little synopsis of how my hair routine goes:
Day 1: Wash and air dry. Wear down.
Day 2: Refresh. Wear down
Day 3: Refresh, A LOT. Wear up, ponytail.
Day 4: Refresh, refresh, refresh. Top knot OR curl into big waves and wear down.
Day 5: Wash
That's, right, I wear my thick, wavy curls down 3/4 days of the week AND I only wash every 5th day. I could definitely not pull this off without Batiste Dry Shampoo. On day 2 when I only need a little refresh by the roots, it does just that. And with the touch of brunette colour and very light scent (compared to the more scented Batiste products) you cannot even tell I have used dry shampoo. On days 3 and 4 when I wear it up, I need it to give my roots a refresh while boosting it's volume so my top knot looks great. Finally when I style it into large waves (or wear it up again) on day 4, I need it to add texture and volume without making my roots look powdery.
Batiste Dry Shampoo PLUS Beautiful Brunette does each of these different jobs beautifully. And as I mentioned before I find that the scent for this particular one is slightly milder than the more flowery and fruity other Batiste options. This is neither good nor bad, I just wanted to state it so that people know what they're getting. If you want something more heavily scented you'll want to try one of the other options.
I should also mention that I disobey the directions on the bottle somewhat -- as I have curly hair I do not like to brush it through my hair as the directions suggest. I finger comb it through the roots and when I am wearing my hair up I like to use a natural bristle brush to smooth it through the roots so that it does not upset my curls.
I was lucky enough to try this product free with Chickadvisor's Product Review Club however Batiste Dry Shampoo is a staple in my beauty routine and I will buy it again and again.

Canada Dry Club Soda Orange-Mandarin is the cure for my pop cravings!
I used to love pop. In fact I still love pop but once I drink one, it's a slippery slope and before I know it I have a whole case sitting in my house. NOT good when you're tying to keep your sugar intake low. To help with this problem I started to drink carbonated water when I got a craving for pop.
In this pop addiction world I speak of, I did not love Club Soda. I always found the flavour to be overpowering and I didn't like the lack of sweetness. However this new Orange-Mandarin Club Soda is delicious. It totally satisfies my cravings for pop without overloading on the sweetness. It's perfect for my more adult pallet. I really enjoyed drinking it and would definitely repurchase.
I received a case of this product free to try from the Chickadvisor Product Review Club.

This is an outstanding product! I received it from Chickadvisor Premium in my welcome bag. I have used two other Know Cosmetics products in the past (the no more bleeding lips and no more dark shadows) and loved them both as well.
I would recommend this product to everyone. IF you follow the instructions completely, it does exactly what it says it`s going to do. It really does seal in your lip colour so that no colour transfers onto anything else. Even through eating and drinking. Even though an entire night out with girlfriends, I was wiping my lip colour off with make up remover when I got home. Super impressed and I will definitely repurchase. If you love lip colour, this is a must have product for you!

I LOVE the everything balm. If you are familiar with Rosebud Salve, this functions much the same way. It has numerous uses. I have used to so far to cure chapped skin around my nose from constant sniffles, and on the eczema on the backs of my hands. I have also used it to smooth unruly eyebrows.
I have not given is 5 stars because I do have two minor complains. 1) I do not like the raspberry scent. I realize this is a personal preference however. 2) The pump, while it does work is somewhat tempermental and I had to fiddle with it a bit before it began to work when my bottle was new. Also it seems to take several pumps each time before the product actually comes out which can be annoying.
Overall a great product and I would recommend it.

CND CREATIVE PLAY Nail Lacquer

This was a nice line of nail polishes but I am faithful to my Jamberry nail wraps. The time consuming nature of waiting for your nails to dry alone is enough to deter me frkm repurchasing this. That being said, I was a dedicated nail polish user before Jamberry so I can give my review based on my experience with other lines.
The base coat was lovely. It went on smooth and dried quickly. It made my nails look shiny and healthy.
I did not like the lacquer at all. I found the texure of the lacquer itself to be thick and unforgiving when trying to apply it carefully (read: slowly). It was slightly chunky, I'm guessing because it was attempting to dry. However I found that it was streaky and almost clumpy. The red itself was pretty and universally flattering but I wouldn't repurchase based on this alone.
The top coat was nice but not exceptional compared to my favourite ever, Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat.

This product smells absolutely amazing! Even if it didn't work at all I would be tempted to use it just for the scent. Luckily it actually does work. My hair was super shiny after running a few pumps through it. I am excited to see how it improves the texture of my hair longer term. For 8.99 it's a great deal compared to similar products on the market so I would certainly purchase more. -

What a great tasting wine! I love red but I know that many of my wine drinking friends prefer white. I think this is a good accessible red wine as it's a blend of Shiraz and Cabernet. It's not as deep and strong as a fuller Shiraz and I think that makes it a great wine for red wine novices. I would definitely recommend it. -

I LOVE this mascara. Like seriously, all the cheering emojis. It rivals my Benefit They're Real mascara. My lashes are thick and luscious even without curling them and without any eyeliner at all. I am not crazy about the brush because I prefer it to be thicker to help me separate the lashes but I'm sure I will get used to it with some practice. -

I absolutely love the feeling of this lipstick. It is a super smooth and velvety feeling on my lips, not sticky at all. The colours are highly pigmented and look very high quality on. The tube is even cute! I think I would definitely need to use it with a lip liner but otherwise am extremely happy with how well it went on and how easy it was to use. Beautiful lipstick. -
