I received PowerBar ProteinPlus Reduced Sugar Lemon Poppy Seed from ChickAdvisor for free to test and give my honest opinion.
First, I must state that I work out 4-5 times a week and I have tried many protein/energy bars for pre-workout. This one actually taste pretty decent for a protein bar. Of course with any protein bar, there will be a bit of a whey, gritty or coarse texture. It's not going to taste like an actual cake or a regular chocolate bar. I'm basing my opinion with that in mind and already knowing what to expect in a protein bar.
That said, this one is not as bad as others I've tasted considering how much protein is in this bar plus the reduced sugar. In my opinion for a protein bar they taste pretty good. It kept me full during my entire sweat session. I generally work out for about 2 hours so it did it's job keeping me full and energized.
These bars are great for pre or post workouts. I prefer pre-workouts. It does take about an hour for them to give you a kick of energy so I say eat them half an hour before workout and by the time you warm up and everything, it' will be perfect timing for your workout.
I would eat these with a glass of water as it tends to be dry (as of most protein bars)
Overall, I would have to go out and buy myself more of these to test out how the protein is working. I could only review the taste as of now because a few bars is not going to let me know if the protein is helping me gain more muscles or not.
Yes, I like the taste, doing it's job keeping me full, giving me a kick of energy. I will purchased more and work with these for a few months. They are good for on the go and no time for a meal as well. Just note, don't expect it to taste like an actual cake or a regular chocolate bar. It's pretty close tasting to a poppy seed muffin, in my opinion.

Ray-Ban Aviator, Polarized, Light Brown Sunglasses

I'm one of those people that can't leave my house without my sunglasses, at least in my handbag. Therefore I own a lot of designer's sunglasses. They are nice and of good quality but every since I bought my Ray-Bans aviators, I couldn't go back to any other sunglasses.
I bought the Ray-Ban aviators in light brown polarized and now I know why a lot of people raves about Ray-Bans. They are so light weight, super comfortable to wear. The lens are so clear as if I'm not wearing any glasses. It is also polarized so I don't get blinded by reflections.
The aviator style is very original and very versatile. I could dress up, dress down, hair my hair in a ponytail, a bun or leave it down and these glasses will suit my style. I've had many compliments on my glasses as I got them special order because I'm very picky with the color and the shade of the lens. The eye-wear store I went to did not have that exact shade of the lens and the exact color of the frame I wanted, so they had to special order them.
I'm glad they were able to do that as I'm so in love with these glasses. I've had them for over a year now and if I were to purchase another pair, I will certainly stick with Ray-Bans polarized. I might buy the same pair but maybe in black or a different color.

Anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with Marc Jacobs anything! I wanted to treat myself to something nice and of course, it would be a Marc Jacobs handbag.
I decided on the Standard leather cross-body bag because it is cute, perfect size and not too big and not too small. First a big handbag gives me anxieties when I can't find my stuff, so I wanted to stick to a smaller everyday cross-body bag.
I ordered this bag online as Marc Jacobs is very hard to find at a store. When it arrived, it came with a nice Marc Jacobs dusk bag, the bag is just beautiful. It looks nicer in person as it did in the picture.
The only downfall is because it was still in it's original packaging, when I opened it, the leather smelled really strong. It faded a little bit after a few weeks of use.
I bought the black leather bag. The hardware on this bag is very modern. It comes with removable straps, with a push lock hardware to change the size of strap and there are two straps that connects together. Very neat, way to connect the straps.
The top flap of the bag is magnetic closure. There is a front zip pocket with a slide lock for extra safety. (this makes the bag looks so sleek) Also a very cool feature on this bag. Only problem, it took me a while to figure out how the lock works and open it. I thought I had a defective bag. I like Marc Jacobs took it very seriously when he design the locks on these bags.
It has 1 inside zip pock, two slip pockets (ideal for cellphones) The entire inside of the bag is fully lined. The bag is of very good quality. All the stitching are perfect and hardware are absolutely stunning and sophisticated.
I'm very happy with this purchase as this bag is so versatile. I can dress up or down and this bag will go well with it.

I'm obsess with anything mango and dry mangoes are my absolute favorite snack. I tried many different brands and there are only 1 or 2 brands that suits my taste.
I was at a supermarket and came across H&H;Thai Honey Dried Mango! I have to admit, I'm a big fan of nice packaging on anything. This has nice packaging and was on sale so I thought I would give it a try. I'm glad I did because it taste so good! My favorite dry mangoes as of now.
I believe this is fairly a new product as I've never seen it anywhere until now. It is everywhere at almost every market now.
It has no colors, no flavors added, gluten free, fat free cholesterol free! It's not super sweet as in eating candies, just sweet enough, a little sour, but not extremely sour. It's just the perfect taste. I bought the 600g bag and can't stop eating them.
I'm just about finish this bag, going to go pick up another bag soon as they are promoting this product everywhere so it's on sale at most grocery store. Highly recommend if you love mangoes or healthy dry fruit snacks.

I saw on ChickAdvisor's Instagram post regarding new Nivea Gel Roll on Deodorant! I immediately went to the store and looked for them. I decided on Spring Mist, since it's spring and summer. I'm a big fan of Nivea ever since I got the campaign a year ago. Nivea's deodorant is really something else!
That said, I'm so glad I picked up a bottle of the invisible for black & white. The smell is so fresh and clean, great for this season. Scent is subtle, it might be a little strong right when I applied it, but within a few seconds it settles to a very pleasant scent. The gel dries instantly!
The best part, yes I purposely wore a black shirt to test out if it's really invisible because none of the ones I've tried was 100 % true to that. Guess what, no white residue, at all! I'm so loving this deodorant.
I know it's a weird thing to be picky about, but I'm very picky with deodorant. Some of them the scent drives me crazy and I can't stand it. Some of them leaves stains on my shirt. Some don't last and make my underarm area smell even worst after a few hours. Not Nivea Gel, it actually last until the next day. No more embarrassing sweat moments. I know, TMI!
This Nivea Gel Roll on in Spring mist invisible for Black & White is very true to the name! I love it! I highly recommend this deodorant and would definitely re-purchased again.

eos Organic Smooth Stick Lip Balm in Vanilla Bean

I'm a huge fan of EOS lip balms and was jumping for joy when I saw the lip stick shape ones. I actually stop using them because I couldn't stand the "sphere shape", because it's not very convenient. I like to carry smaller purses and it sticks out like a sore thump.
I find that the stick shape one convenient and easier to apply. When I was almost out of the sphere shape one, it kind of hurts to apply so I end up just throwing it away at that point. With the stick shape one, I have no problems using it all up.
Of course, I love vanilla flavor anything. The scent/taste is very subtle which I like. It is not over powering, it's just a hint of vanilla bean. This lip balms is one of the rare lip balms that keeps my lips hydrated for hours after applying. Quality is very good of course. I find that the stick one does go on a little bit smoother than the sphere shape one as it is not as thick.
I highly recommend, I'm so happy EOS made this desgin.

I received a ton of these as a sample from the gym I go to. I must say, it helps eliminate odor from my workout cloths and my husband's hockey stuff.
I use it with tide pods and unstoppable. The only downfall is they are quite expensive. With all three added, laundry could get costly. I do however only use them for my workout clothes and husband's hockey stuff.
When I first open the package, it smelled like chemicals but when put in the wash together with the tide pods and unstoppable, the smell of the unstoppable is enhanced and last much longer.
I think it's a good product, but not always necessary. I would not recommend if you have sensitive skin, the chemical could irritate your skin.
Otherwise, it's a good product to use for for sweaty, work clothes or bedding.

John Wick is a very enjoyable action packed movie. I must say Keanu Reeves did a terrific job as John Wick.
If you are looking for an Oscar type of movie, this is not the movie for you. The synopsis is pretty typical for action movies with lots and lots of violence. There are no boring moments in this movie. It did indeed kept me glued to the screen.
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie, looking forward to part 2.

Clif bars are my go to post- work out snack. I tried all the flavors and by far the White Chocolate Macadamia is my all time favorite. It tastes so good for an energy bar. It taste exactly like the cookie.
I work out for 1.5 - 2 hours at the gym so I need the energy and eating a full blown meal post-work out is not ideal for me. The 1 bar will last me throughout my workout without me being hungry.
I was skeptical but this was recommend by so many people on a forum for fitness/bodybuilding. It actually does taste very good and does keep me full for my entire workout.
The only downside is the calories are a bit high and it's a bit sweet. It's good, works well for me and I end up working off more than double those calories at the gym.

I received Kat Von D Everlasting Lip Liner in the shade Lolita as a testing opportunity and to give my honest opinion.
All I could say is, I'm in love! This is honestly the holy grail of lip liners. I actually didn't think much of it unit I actually tried it.
My lips are super pigmented so it takes a very good lip liner that is super pigmented for the color to show. This one does it job! It goes on so smooth and does not dry out my lips.
Staying power is also surprisingly amazing. It stayed on for a good half a day. There is something about this liner that makes lining my lips so easy and it is so precised. One of the best liner's I've ever tried. The color is just gorgeous.
I will definitely be buying a few more colors and re-purchasing this this one.
