This is easily my favourite item from the Bright Boost line. The gel cream provides just the right amount of moisture and provides the skin a wonderful dewy sheen. There are tiny little 'sparkles' in the gel that give the skin that extra oomph. As someone who doesn't wear make up, this is absolutely perfect. It's very subtle and leaves my face looking bright and smooth. Smells great, too. -

I love that they've made a caramel flavoured protein shake! I've only seen this flavour available in powdered form and I'm not much of a powdered protein shake drinker. I was afraid the caramel would be too sweet, but it was just fine. Reminded me a bit of salted caramel. Very tasty, good consistency and smoothness and excellent macros. 160 calories and 30 grams of protein is pretty hard to beat.

I love that these plant protein bars all incorporate nuts and dark chocolate- I'm a huge fan of both. Tasty sweet and salty combo in a nice chewy and crunchy bar (the right texture for me), with a good amount of protein. This is my second favourite of the three flavours. I like that it isn't too salty, either.

I love the chew and consistency of these bars and you definitely get a good whiff of peanut butter as you're eating it. However, it could have actually used more peanut butter flavour, as I found it too subtle here. Good amount of protein and a pretty foolproof flavour that will appeal to most people.

This is hands down my favourite of the three plant protein PowerBars. They did the salted caramel flavour well and you can never go wrong with cashews and dark chocolate. Tasty bar, great chew and good amount of protein. There is some protein-y flavour that you get with most protein bars, but I can live with that. I also love that they used cashew butter in this bar.

I'm a fan of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, but I will admit I was skeptical about their non-dairy line. I've had my fair share of dairy free frozen desserts, so I have pretty high standards when it comes to these products.
From the first bite, I was impressed. The almond base is absolutely perfect for the cherry garcia flavour. Chock full of juicy, whole cherries and fudge chunks, this was such a satisfying dessert. The flavours are impactful and well balanced. No issues with the texture, either. Honestly, you wouldn't be able to tell this is dairy free!
I had trouble capping my serving sizes each day, as I kept coming back for more and more- this is an addictive flavour. I'm very happy with this product and am confident the other flavours in their dairy free line are just as good.
The only minor complaints I have are that sometimes the fudge chunks were unexpectedly hard to chew and that this dessert is quite pricey. Most retailers I went to were selling them for $8-9 a pint.

A pretty darn good product! Birthday cake still ranks as my #1, though. While I can understand how this product's execution could make this a polarizing flavour, despite its flaws, I still really enjoy this.
There is a predominant maple syrup flavour, but it's not one dimensional. I would have detracted a significant number of stars if they had just copped out and did a blanket of maple syrup and called it day. I do get some of the pancake/waffle batter flavour and I really like that they incorporate pancake/waffle pieces in the ice cream to keep things interesting.
Some people may be turned off by the slightly fake-y maple syrup flavour or slight bitterness (from the sugar alcohol, probably), but I was ok with that. Also, considering that it's a high protein-low calorie ice cream, I'm quite happy with the product.
Looking forward to trying more flavours from Halo Top!

I've used Aveeno products before, but this is my first time trying their face mask. As I recently hit the big three-oh, I've been giving serious consideration to anti-aging skincare products. I was lucky to receive this product through the product review club.
This mask is a great first foray into that. First off, the product smells wonderful- I'd love to get a body lotion in this scent. It's light and not overpowering. The mask is easy to apply and hits that sweet spot in terms of skin moisturization. You really do feel like your skin is smoother, softer and quenched afterwards. I have combination skin, so of course I'm wary of such a product feeling heavy, greasy or pore clogging. No issues whatsoever with this mask, though! For something as nourishing as this, it doesn't leave my skin feeling suffocated.
The Aveeno mask doesn't leave my skin dry like most other brands', but feels just right. I'd happily recommend this product.

Wow! I have to say I'm pretty impressed with this product. It was my first time trying Halo Top and certainly won't be my last. I'd heard much hype about Halo Top, so was stoked to finally get a chance to try them in Canada.
I thought they nailed the birthday cake flavour very well. It reminds me of Quest's birthday cake bar, but in ice cream form. Not icy and no weird aftertaste. The only minor issues that I identified upon a second, more thorough tasting, are a) the ice cream could be less sweet, even for someone with a sweet tooth like mine and b) it melts a bit more quickly than regular ice cream. Not huge detractors, but worth noting.
The calorie/protein content is astounding. It makes me giddy that I could eat an entire pint in one sitting and not feel guilty (I have not done so yet, but it's awesome knowing the option is there...). Really looking forward to trying the other flavours, particularly pancake & waffles and oatmeal cookie. My brain pretty much screamed for me to buy more after the first bite.

This is one of, if not the, best Nature Valley protein granola bars. Excellent coconut flavour in the nut butter helped by the addition of coconut pieces sprinkled throughout the bar. Super tasty, not much of that protein-y taste that is found in most protein bars. I actually prefer this to the sweet and salty coconut bar from Nature Valley! -
