Barilla's Ready Pasta comes fully cooked in a microwavable pouch. I like how easy it was to heat up, just a minute in the microwave and we had some hot penne for our lunch. I just made sure to read and follow the directions. We're supposed to tear it open to vent steam, microwave for a minute, and be sure to hold the pouch on the sides to not burn our fingers. The pasta itself was good and al dente, I found the size of the penne a bit too small, but my husband and toddler thought it was cute. It was also a bit pricey, but quite handy to have. If it's a really good price, I will be getting some more.

We were all excited to try Dr. Oetker Ristorante Cioccolato pizza. We like pizza, and we love chocolate, so this was a no brainer. We baked our frozen pizza dessert in the oven according to instructions, but I think it was slightly over cooked. Not burnt or anything, but just a little too well done for me. The box suggested 10-12 minutes at 425, next time I would probably do only 8 minutes.
To say that I loved the pizza is an understatement. My husband, toddler and I shared it, but I think I ate more than half. There was a good amount of chocolate, and the crust crisped up nicely. The chocolate would probably be a bit better if it was slightly less well done.
Overall I really like the Cioccolato pizza, I would buy it again!

I was excited to try Centrum Multi Gummies Multi+Beauty. It promises to help support immune function, eyesight, bone health, metabolism, plus hair, skin and nails. It comes in a plastic jar with a child proof cap. I do appreciate it, because even though I keep our medication and supplements up and away, we have a curious toddler who likes to check everything out.
The Centrum Multi Gummies come in a 90 count jar, but the recommended daily dose is 2 gummies, so you only get a 45 day supply. It comes in Cherry, Berry and Orange. The gummies have a nice texture with a bit of bite to it, and it tastes fruity. There was a bit of a medicine-y aftertaste though, which I don't really like. Since I only have a few days to review, I can't really tell if it has helped with anything, specially my hair, skin or nails.
Overall, it's a decent multi vitamin gummy. But compared to my regular vitamin brand, it has less vitamins and minerals, and mostly less units per vitamin as well. It's also quite expensive for a 45 day supply, my normal brand costs less but has a 300 day supply. Centrum Multi Gummies Multi+Beauty would be good for someone who likes gummy vitamins.

I was very excited to try Biore's Charcoal Acne Scrub. I like Biore products and I was interested in charcoal skincare, so I was hoping it would help my oily skin.
It's comes in a squeeze tube with a flip top cap, making it hygienic and easy to dispense. The scrub itself was gray with little orange bits in it. It felt nice and scrubby on my face. I liked the citrus scent and the cooling, minty feeling. Due to it being a physical exfoliator, my skin felt nice and smooth afterwards. I felt that it cleaned well, and it rinsed off easily too.
Overall a good, affordable facial scrub for acne prone and oily skinned folks. (I would not use these on blemishes though, as it will irritate!) I'm glad I was able to try Biore's Charcoal Acne Scrub, I do recommend it!

We got Lactania PurFiltre in 3.25%, because my son drinks homo milk and it was the only type left in the store. It comes in an opaque 1.5L plastic bottle, which is supposed to help it last longer.
My son and I tried it, and it tasted pretty much like our regular homo. I'm not sure, the texture might be a tiny bit smoother, but that might just be me. I can't say anything about the longer shelf life because we had to try it out asap (having only 10 days to review).
It's a good milk, the only complaint I have is that it's so much more expensive than our regular homo. Maybe if I won the lottery! Lactania PurFiltre may be good for people who drink just a little milk, perhaps just in their coffees, who need milk to last longer.

Maxwell house max boost

We're not coffee connoisseurs or anything, our regular coffee brand at home is Maxwell, and we do take instant coffee as well. Max Boost says it has 1.5 times more caffeine. Again, I'm not much of a coffee drinker, so it tasted the same to me (and my husband). I'm not too sure about the extra caffeine either, I felt about the same. Then again, I only drink about half a cup of coffee per day maximum, since I am pregnant, and I don't drink everyday either.
It comes in a smaller tin than the regular Maxwell House coffee we buy, and a bit more expensive too. It's an okay coffee to me, but because of the price difference we'll stick to our regular blue tins.

I got Coffee Mate Bliss in the vanilla flavour. It comes in the usual flip top cap packaging that the liquid Coffee Mates come it. The spout makes it easy to pour into coffee. The label's design is nicer and simpler that the regular Coffee Mate too.
I like that the Bliss flavours don't have any artificial colours, flavours or GMO's. Coffee creamers with natural, simple ingredients are great. As for the taste, I did like the vanilla, but since I like my coffee sweet, I had to either put a lot or add my own sugar. My husband was fine with the sweetness.
It's a little pricey for me, as it comes in a smaller bottle for the same price as the regular Coffee Mates, but it was delicious.

My husband tried the Dove Men+Care Extra Fresh Micro Moisture Body + Face wash only as a body wash when he showered. He uses a specific face wash so he didn't use the Dove Men+Care on his face. I wanted to try it myself, but the scent was too strong for me so I only used it on my hands.
The packaging is simple and easy to use, a flip cap on the bottom (quite handy when using up the last drops of product). The body wash smelled strong to me, but was nice and refreshing for my husband. I felt my hands were clean but not tight when I rinsed it off. My husband said the same, he used a Japanese body towel which he said created a nice lather.
We both liked it, and a light scent lingers on my husband's skin. Overall a nice body wash, my husband said he would continue to use it.

I love love love Reese peanut butter cups, it's my favourite chocolate! I've had regular and mini cups, holiday ones and Pieces as well, but I've never had the cups with Pieces.
I was very excited to try Reese Miniatures stuffed with Pieces. I think the design of the foil is very cute. I was not disappointed! It had the same, delicious Reese taste, with a bit of crunch from the Pieces' candy coating. The chocolate was good, the peanut butter smooth and creamy, and the little pieces were evenly distributed in the cups I had.
It's a nice Reese, a bit different, but still delicious!

I've tried Gain in different scents. I love laundry products that have a fresh scent, and of course I wanted to see if it was a good laundry detergent as well.
The packaging is typical for liquid laundry detergent, it's a huge, Costco-sized plastic jug with a spout and a cap that doubles as a measuring cup for the amount of detergent you need. Original smelled very light and fresh. It cleaned our clothes well, and they smelled amazing with a mild, pleasant fragrance.
I liked Gain Original. It was a nice laundry detergent that washed well and smelled amazing. Buying from Costco meant I don't have to go and buy it for a while too.
