Creamy, easy to make, and not too badly priced.
I like having this over the classic mac n cheese, but the kids like the orange Annie's better than this version.

However, no problem, it's still really tasty, and something I feel good sharing with the kids. -
Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer
This primer applies easily, an smoothly, and does an okay job at what it's supposed to do. This week my skin was a little drier than usual, and I found it wasn't quite what I wanted; it didn't get as smooth as I'd like. So based on application, and... +
This primer applies easily, an smoothly, and does an okay job at what it's supposed to do. This week my skin was a little drier than usual, and I found it wasn't quite what I wanted; it didn't get as smooth as I'd like.
So based on application, and effectiveness, it's so-so.
The tube of product is very nice looking; very classy, and high end looking.
What I don't really like is the scent; it has a hemp meets... something sort of smell to it, and I find it unpleasant.
Overall, there are other primers on the market that are the same price and better, or even less and better. However, the more natural ingredients might be the big draw for you.

I'm pretty happy to have had a chance via the review club to sample this item. I've used so, so many different creams over the years for my eczema, and dry skin.
This stuff works pretty good! It's really thick, and barely stings at all (every cream I put on has some degree of sting, so you might not have this issue!). It's not incredibly greasy, which is nice, but it is enough that you have to wait awhile for it to absorb before doing anything.
I found this to be most effective on my legs, and it worked decently on my hands, which are in a flare up. It does need to be reapplied every couple of hours, though, which can be a hassle on a busy day.
My favorite thing about this was a toss up from the easy to open jar (I have pain issues in my hand, so squeezing tubes is difficult), and the fact that it was totally unscented! There are just way too many perfumes and additives in products these days, that I often read "unscented" and it doesn't mean much lol.
Overall, for $20 ish, it's a good amount. It's slightly steep price wise for me, but I'd grab some on sale.

I tried both the vanilla and the chocolate of this product for the review club.
It's great that this is low carb, low fat, high protein, and that nutritionally not bad.
For me, it was hard to drink on a ready made way. It's like incredibly watered down vanilla flavored milk. Definitely not a shake. Although convenient on the go, it's hard to choke this one down!
Since it seems to be on average about $3/carton, I need it to taste good, too! There's no point having all that nutrition if I can't bring myself to drink it.
Another issue I have is the cost. The protein powder I buy has a bit more in it nutritional-wise, and much more cost efficient.

NIVEA Cocoa Butter Body Cream
This is pretty good lotion for dry skin. I normally buy other body butter, but this was nice to test out for the advisor club. It's nice and thick, and not too strongly scented.

This is my preferred flavor out of the 2 I tried for chick advisor. I really love lemon flavored things, and this was like a dessert item. Some people might find it a bit sweet, due to artificial sweeteners used, but I liked it.
These curbed my hunger, but didn't replace a meal like other power bars, or protein bars I've had in the past.
I immediately went to see if I could find these in the store, but the price is way too high for my budget! I buy a lot of protein bars, usually by the case, and just under $4/bar is way too steep for me. I will buy them if they go to about $2ish a bar, and in a case.

PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Creamy Chocolate Peanut Butter
I really enjoyed this protein bar. The taste is pretty good for a protein bar, and the texture is nice; it's dense, but still soft to eat. I tried to find these in store, but they were too expensive for me (over $3/bar).
