Good & Simple Fruit + Fibre muffins make a perfect mid-day snack and grab-and-go breakfast! Since they are individually wrapped, it makes it easy to pop one in your bag to bring to work when you're short on time. Each muffin has a good amount of fruit pieces, and a nice sprinkling of fibre bits on top that gives them a nice, light crunchy texture. I really enjoyed it warmed up in the microwave: it gives it an oven-fresh taste!

Prior to receiving this brush, I purchased the RealTechniques (eyeshadow) Starter Set, and Multitasking Kabuki Set (foundation and cheeks). I found the brushes to be really soft and versatile and had complete faith that this setting brush would be of the same great quality. The brush itself is great for using for hilighting but I find it most useful for setting the concealer I apply under my eyes as the brush itself is smaller and precise for that kind of application. As for the price, $9 isn't bad for the quality you get. However, I highly recommend buying these brushes in sets as they are always cheaper than buying them individually.

After many years of using acetone-free nail polish and having to really scrub at my nails to remove polish, this polish remover really changed my experience. Although the bottle says it's formulated for shellac, I use it on non-shellac polish and find that I only need to wipe my nails twice before the polish, top coat, and base are all completely gone. I only have to use a light hand, and don't have to waste 2-4 cotton pads that I normally have to use with my acetone-free polish remover. Better yet, it doesn't seem to dry out my nails or my fingertips (which is a problem I experienced with most nail polish removers I've tried in the past). I would definitely recommend this polish remover to everyone!

As a student, I was always buying hot coffee or tea at school and finding that it cooled too fast and I was wasting a lot of money. I decided to buy a Thermos travel tumbler that I could just pop in my backpack or bag without having to worry about it spilling, leaking, or the loss of heat. This tumbler by Thermos did the job for me! It keeps my hot beverages hot for 5 hours and my cold beverages cold for pretty much the whole day (especially if I add ice cubes). It's very easy to clean because it only comes in a few pieces. The vacuum seal lid works perfectly every time; I especially love that you only have to press a button to drink from it, opposed to unscrewing a lid.
Even after I broke it by dropping it on a really hard concrete floor (which would break almost anything), I decided to repurchase it again because I love it so much. I have saved so much money using by using this Thermos!

I bought e.l.f.'s matte lip colour in Wine from Rexall for only $4-5 including tax. At that price I wasn't expecting anything groundbreaking, but it exceeded my expectations in every way. The formula is extremely pigmented and goes on your lips very easily. The packaging has a precise pointed tip that slightly smaller than a crayon and allows for accurate application. After blotting the colour, I find that it doesn't bleed or transfer onto your teeth. It is also very long-lasting, and only really needs to be retouched after eating. In fact, the colour stayed on my lips even after eating more so than my other lipsticks that I bought at quadruple the price! Even though it is a matte colour, it doesn't dry my lips out like other matte lip colours do. I would definitely recommend this product and would love to try some of the other shades available! -

When I first heard about this product, I was really intrigued by it. How could a plastic box with a crisper tray and filter make a huge impact on the longevity of my fresh fruits and veggies? As someone who lives alone, I often have to be very mindful when it comes to buying fruits and veggies as they can go bad pretty quickly if not consumed within a few days of purchase. I would often be tempted by "buy two for $X" deals on boxes of berries, but then end up having to throw out the second box because they would just go bad before I could get to finishing them. With Rubbermaid FreshWorks, I don't have to worry about this anymore!
A couple of weeks ago, I bought two boxes of fresh strawberries, chucked one box in my Rubbermaid FreshWorks container unwashed (it fit perfectly) - and started eating strawberries from the store box. By the time I finished the first box, the berries were starting to get mushy and wrinkly. However, my Rubbermaid FreshWorks boxed strawberries looked as good as new! They continued to look and taste fresh for an entire week when I finished them a week later. Normally, if stored in the store box, they would look wrinkly and shrivelled at best - or mouldy and inedible by one week after purchase.
I'm really glad I was able to try Rubbermaid FreshWorks as it'll save me a lot of money in the long run!

Know Cosmetics No Bare Brows

I love this brow pencil; it's best I've used so far. Compared to the other products I've tried before, it lasts way longer and is more value for money. It's also really convenient that it comes with sharpener and brush caps because you don't have to go rifling through your makeup bag to find them. The colour works well with my hair colour and you can build the colour up if you want darker brows. However, I can see how this medium-brown colour might not be totally universal for girls with red or light blonde hair. I've never used wax before, but now that I have, I see the use for it.

Before using Vim Power & Shine Bathroom Spray, I didn't realize how much water residue and soap scum I had in my shower. After spraying the inside of my shower, I let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing away at it. Since it turns out that I have quite a bit of build up, I had to repeat the process a couple of times before all it was back to its original state. However, this spray made it a whole lot easier to clean than the sprays I've purchased prior to trying this. I did find the scent to be quite strong for my liking, but less offensive than regular bathroom cleaners that usually smell of straight bleach. I would definitely recommend this product!

This Vim Power & Shine spray is great for using on the countertops and stovetops that often get caked in food - from crusted-on tomato sauce, to cut veggie juices, it works really well for getting rid of everything! I even tried using it to clean up the floor under my oven, which I'm ashamed to admit hasn't been cleaned in an unspeakable amount of time. This VIM spray seemed to melt through everything that was crusted on and made it super easy to wipe away. My only complaint is that the smell is really strong, so I recommend using it while the vent or fan is on. Other than that, I recommend it is a great kitchen spray!

The raspberry flavour of Mott's Fruitsations +Fibre is my current favourite flavour! Although I love the classic applesauce flavour, the raspberry flavour is a nice change. The fact that it doesn't have any added sugar, but has added fibre makes me feel less guilty picking this up for a sweet snack. I definitely reccomend this to everyone, especially to parents who have kids that prefer having sweet, but healthy snacks!
