I received the Chipotle Chicken Brown rice and Quinoa from Knorr and Family rated too test for free and give my honest opinion about the product.
This was a delightful meal that I had made for my family. It was very easy, simple and fast too make. All you need is chicken, some vegetables of your choice and the contents in the package from Knorr. I had whipped it all up in under 35 minutes which is something that I like because Im not much of a cook. This is a great meal too make for the on the go family who likes too make a healthy choice yet not take the whole night making a meal for their family.
The taste was very unique. It was not spicy at all. Had a nice mild zing too it which was great. It almost had an Indian type taste too it which was super good. The flavours were very powerful and worked very well with the added chicken. Next time I may add beef as well like both types of meats and I believe it would work well. I had added some peppers too this as well as mushrooms which gave it some great texture. The rice and quinoa cooked perfectly and I didn't need too add any extra water too the mixture.
I also really like that the calorie content too this meal was pretty low. 150 calories for the uncooked portion. Add the chicken and vegetables it would increase slightly all under 300 calories per serving! Sodium level is bit high for my liking but I made sure too add a lot of veggies in my mixture too counter act the sodium content. We were able too have 2 suppers with the meal that was prepared with only a single Knorr Packet which was excellent in my opinion. Im a huge fan of leftovers!
In conclusion I would defiantly recommend the Knorrs One Skillet Meals. As it was fast, simple and easy too prepare (not too mention scrumptious) I can't wait too try the other varieties!!

I received this Primer from Chick Advisor and Nude by Nature for free too test and review.
This is actually my second time only using a primer as I don't think its a necessary accessory for makeup application. I did however give it a try too see if there was any difference in the way my make-up looked and how well it made my foundation and other make up hold up.
The first thing I noticed was the smell. It was actually pretty nice. It was very fragrant, and had some nice citrus tones too it. I do believe a primer should be scent free as it may bother some people but I actually really liked it. It would make as a very nice moisturizer in this scent. It goes on evenly and smoothly and dries very quickly. It does not leave any residue or stickiness which I really like. I did notice that my foundation went a shade darker after applying this primer. Not exactly sure why. It wasn't wet when I applied it. I also noticed that it didn't make my makeup last any longer than not applying a primer.
I really like that the ingredients safe and natural! No chemicals or any preservatives! Cruelty free and lots of hydrating ingredients for the skin such as Green tea, papaya fruit, olive fruit oil, plum seed oil and calendula flower.
So with that said I don't think this is something that I would purchase as its something thats not really needed and it made my makeup darker in some spots on my face. But it does smell very lovely!!

I received this loose mineral foundation from ChickAdvisor and Nude by Nature for free too test and review.
Wow! What amazing loose powder foundation this is. I have been using loose powder foundations for the last 15 years on my skin and I have noticed this is one of the top foundations out there. Nude By Nature Loose Mineral Foundation provides such a clean, smooth, medium/high coverage. I have pale skin, with some sunspots, uneven skin tone and the powder covered all of that so well. I had too use my own loose mineral foundation brush and I found that it worked ten times better than the mineral #11 brush from Nude by Nature. My brush picked up the powder, created a really nice full coverage and blended so smoothly. If you have dry skin I do recommend that you use a primer or even a moisturizer before applying this powder. It does contain a a clay that absorbs oils and if you skin is to dry it make look flakey. I also like how the powder is contained in the case. It doesn't come all out in the lid like my other powders do. It holds everything in nicely so it doesn't create a huge mess or waste!
I love that this is a mineral based line, its cruelty free, contains zero preservatives, synthetics or talc. It also contains Australian Kakadu Plum, Jojoba esters as well as Kaolin Clay which helps control oil and shine.
I will be a loyal customer after trying this product out for free! I don't think I would have converted as I having been using the same loose powder for many many years and I'm glad I did as I actually found something better and for the fraction of the price!

I received this mineral brush #11 for free too test and review from ChickAdvisor and Nude by Nature.
The brush is very cosmetically appealing. Fits in your hand just perfectly, bristles very soft and fluffy.
When I used this brush in combination with the loose powder foundation I found that it only gave me a light coverage. On top of that I also noticed that it flung around the loose powder in my hair, so I didn't use it with that specific powder after that. I have many different compact bronzers and blushes that I use and I found that this was the best match for my brush and it worked very well. The brush picks up a lot of the loose powder and it also picks up a lot of different forms of cosmetics that you may have. The brush also does a very good job in blending the pigments and I love how soft it feels on your skin. This will defiantly be my go too brush for all my bronzers and blushes!

This is an excellent day or night cream for sensitive skin. I really like this product because it has a nice light almond scent too it and it spreads nice and evenly on the skin. It helps create a nice moisture balance within the skin and strengthens the surface barrier without irritating your skin.
This product contains Almond oil, Vitamin a and e, plum kernel oil (which is high in antioxidants).
Another great thing about this product is when you put it on your skin it doesn't make your skin itch or turn red which is an excellent thing if you have sensitive skin like I do. I also notice that I do not break out with this moisturizer.
You can buy this at Nutters bulk food or any health food store for $30

I really like this floral lotion by CND. Its provides long lasting hydration and the smell is very soft and subtle. This lotion absorbs almost immediately and does not give a greasy feel too the hands or skin. I like that you can use this for your whole body as well and feels wonderful after shaving your legs.
This is my favourite scent by CND because it doesn't smell very strong. I noticed that the other scents that they have are quite strong. Almost like a cologne smell too it but this one is just perfect. I often put this on my son before going too bed because he has really dry skin and it seems too be soothing for him.

I was pleasantly surprised that I liked this scrub! It took a bit for me to get used to the essential oils in it as I don't have a shower and had to use this in the bath, so I found myself coated the first time in a little too much oil. Once I got the hang of it, it was awesome!!
I have used it on my face but I always use an exfoliating glove and I think that helped prevent the salt from scratching my face( enough tiny holes in the glove to prevent direct contact to my face). I'm sure if I used just my hand or a face cloth it would have been too abrasive. The smell is not overpowering at all and smells good enough to eat :-) and the oils really do seem to be moisturizing my skin during this cold, dry winter so that's always a bonus in my eyes!
I have not used this product long enough to know how it works on stretch marks, so I will have to update this at a later date. But so far I am VERY happy with the product, and see myself purchasing more in the near future as long as they don't change the product itself.
The scrub itself is a dryer type so I found using the wet exfoliating glove kept the product on my hand and prevented it from tumbling off into the water. Another way to deal with that would be to use a small Dixie cup and add some scrub with coconut oil and mix it together before washing. I'm sure even adding a little water could help.
I bought this on Ebay for 15.99$ CAN

This is a great product for those who have large pores, blackheads and oily skin types. Before applying this mask you need too wash your face from all the oils and lotions that you may have on prior doing this treatment. I noticed when I had moisturizer on that it did not peel off the way I wanted it too as my skin was too oily from my products. So MUST wash your face before hand. After doing so I tried again and left the product on for about 30 minutes until it was fully dried. I like that it all dried evenly and it peeled off very nicely. My skin felt very smooth afterwards and it felt very clean. The mask defiantly took all the fine baby hair off my face, not sure if it took the blackheads out as I don't have much but nonetheless it felt very nice on.
The ingredients of the product is excellent. I don't see any artificial preservatives or parabens in the bottle which is a great thing! The only thing I do wish is that the mask came in a bigger bottle. You probably could get in 8 facial treatments with this bottle. But I do believe I will be buying this product again, as it made my skin feel very soft and smooth.
I bought this off Amazon for 14.99$ Can

I love this Rose Hip Oil from Sukin. I use it for many different things such as a cuticle oil for my dry/brittle cuticles and nails, for those pesky stretch marks, scars on my face from old acne, on the bottle of my heels because they are very cracked and dry and I also use it on my face when I mix it with one of my moisturizers.
This oil is 100% organic, preservative free, contains vitamin e and beta carotene, and has anti-aging agents from the rose hips itself.
The oil itself is super rich so you only need 2-3 drops whenever you use this product. I use 2 drops for both my hands, 3 drops when I mix it with a moisturizer on my stomach for the stretchmarks, 2 drops if I'm using it on my face and 4-5 drops in my bath water.
I buy this product at my local health food store for 22.99$CAN

This is surprisingly the best penne "pasta" that I have tasted. It is made with Quinoa Rice and Amaranth. The best part about this pasta is the fact that it is gluten free. It is great for people like myself that love pasta but don't like the healthy ingredients in the regular pasta. 2 ingredients thats it thats all!!
I love how the pasta texture is. It's not a soft texture but more of a medium texture which is excellent for me. The Quinoa rice and Amaranth doesn't take away from the typical "pasta" taste one wants in a regular pasta. I mix it with tomato sauce or cheese sauce and my son just LOVES it, even my husband loves it as well.
The only issue I do have with this product is that it costs $5.99 a package and that will only give you one meal. Next time I will go buy a larger package at Costco as I believe it's $9. But 5 stars to this product!!
