I received this as part of the Product Review Club. I tried the lemon poppy seed after the peanut butter chocolate and while I prefer the peanut butter chocolate, this one is still quite good. It has a nice light flavour which is a nice change to normal protein bar flavours. You do get that powdery protein taste but it does have 20g in every bar so you can't win them all! It's not something I would eat everyday but great as a pre-workout (or post) boost if you're pressed for time. It's quite dense and filling so I would think even half a bar at a time would suffice. Will probably buy again! -

I received this protein bar and the lemon poppy seed to try out. It worked out perfectly as I was heading to pilates shortly after I received my box in the mail. I tried the chocolate peanut butter first (obviously) and I was pleasantly surprised! It has a really good flavour and the peanut butter isn't too overpowering. It's a really dense and chewy bar. Unfortunately you do get that powdery protein texture but it's bearable, you just remember that you're eating it for a reason! It's also super filling, I think next time I will eat half before my workout and the other half after or give yourself enough time to digest some of it before you start working out. In addition to the 20g of protein I was glad to see it also has 5g of fibre! This isn't something I would necessarily eat everyday but it's definitely a great alternative if you're short on time. Will definitely purchase again! -

Ok so I love this mascara. I normally use the Too Faced Better than Sex so when I heard Lash Paradise was a dupe I immediately went out and bought it (it was on sale too!) I take my mascara very seriously - I'm very picky about the brand, the smell (yes seriously) and the brush. I usually use 2 different kinds at once but I found I prefer Lash Paradise by itself. The formula dries quite quickly and I don't have to wait as long in between coats to apply more. I also find it easier to "manipulate" (can't think of a better word right now) my lashes with the brush to get them where I want to go. No issues with clumping or flaking either! If you love Better than Sex I highly recommend giving Lash Paradise a try - think of all the $$ you'll save! -

I was using the Anastasia brow wiz but had a hard time shelling out $30 every few months. After a very quick google search I learned the NYX micro brow pencil was a great dupe. I found the shade that was closest to the brow wiz (google should be able to help you with that) and I haven't looked back! The pencil is so tiny and precise which helps create natural looking strokes. All while paying a third of the cost! -

I started using this to set my makeup and I love it! A quick mist gets rid of that powdery look and locks in my makeup for the entire work day! It's more affordable and a better value than the setting sprays you can get at Sephora. And I prefer the aerosol over the atomizer bottles. This would also work great as a pick me up while travelling. They also sell a smaller size :) -

This is a great intensive moisturizer that absorbs quickly and doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy! its my hand cream of choice (see: not greasy) but I use it anywhere that needs a boost of moisture. I got a deluxe sample from sephora and then quickly went out and splurged on the full sized tub. It's on the pricier side but a little goes a long way! -

I got a sample of this and ignored it for a while. I finally decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! It gives your skin a flattering pink glow, and blurs out minor imperfections. I use it as a primer under my foundation and on its own after I moisturize and don't feel like putting makeup on! You can't beat the price either. Highly recommend! -

It tends to dry out quicker than I'd like, disappointing when you consider the price. I usually buy the smaller size at Sephora, I find it doesn't dry out as fast as the full size tube :)
