I loooooved the packaging that the sharing kit arrived at my home it. They sent 3 bowls and beautiful spoons, I was very, very, very impressed.
Me and the gang just finished testing the 3 flavors I chose: this one, Maple Walnut, and Chocolate Cheesecake. Believe it or not I'm still waiting on my chicken breast (we're having a barbeque and testing the flavors, haha).
Anyway though, the things I loved:
1) I LOVED the fact that it wasn't overly sweet. Especially for a person like me who can't take a whole lot of sweets in one sitting and someone like my aunt who has Type 2 Diabetes, she had one or two small scoops and she was good. I don't know if they did that purposely or if it was just something that happened, but I like it.
2) I LOVED the fact that it wasn't... okay well, you know how you can tell from your lips when an ice cream is fatty and heavy? I never got that with this ice cream, it was perfectly light and airy. It just sort of added to the decadence of the flavour, I appreciated that a lot.
3) I LOVED the flavor itself, like it was intense. For all of those hard core chocoholics out there, it'll haunt your dreams and it will be the source of your midnight cravings. Ladies this is serious break-up ice cream going on here, haha. I'm a newly converted chocolate lover, I don't know where it came from but I've had like these huge cravings for some chocolate.
Things that a few of us didn't like was that the chocolate flavor was so intense that like for my friend Emma, she likes chocolate but she's not hardcore or anything and she said "It's almost bitter, it's so chocolatey". I can understand where she'd get that completely, like it could almost be a turn off.
I gave it the half rating, taking everyone that tried it into consideration.

Um.. I don't even know what to say except that it GAVE me pimples and I started breaking out almost immediate after using it.
That being said, I'm thinking that it probably didn't work for me because I didn't have severe enough acne, I don't know. From the commercials, I saw people that had the same type of acne I had, and it worked for them. The only answer I would have to that is that, each individual is different and ... their chemical makeup is different so not everyone will respond the same.
I personally wouldn't recommend it to any of my girlfriends, but I wouldn't stop them from trying it either because even though it made my situation worse, it clearly has worked for some people so.. yeah.

This movie is a great pick-me-up if you just want to sit back, relax, and laugh your ass off. Take your kids and make a night of it. I actually called some friends up and we made a totally girls night of it, it was great.

I loooooooooooooooove this series. I started reading it in high school actually, trying to find my next Harry Potteresque fix, and I was pleasently surprised when I came across this book.
First of all the fact that it was a series pretty much sold it for me, I'm a series junkie, I neeeed something to come next that is just as amazing and stunning as the first. I love growing with the characters, it's intense, hahaha.. totally joking, sorry.
Anyway, I feel like there isn't a person out that that can't relate to the characters in this book. Becky tries so hard , she bubbly, but her unfortunate addiction to shopping sort of muck things up for her. Luke.. oooh, Luke, he is soooo smooth and chill, a bit intimidating because of his success but once you get to know him he's suuuch a hopeless romantic, you can totally tell. Everyone has had a Luke in their lives. Susan is the best friend you want to be, or like the girl you're totally jealous of and almost envy, but you can't for long because she's soooo sweet!
All in all, it's worth driving alllll the way to the bookstore and you won't be disappointed.

Blistex Complete Moisture

I personally don't use anything other then Blistex as far as lip balm is concerned. It's pretty much perfect for everything. If you want to go nude but still have smooth and soft lips. It's also great as a base to apply product over top of it. I've actually found myself with more the one tube of the stuff: one by my bedside for before I go to bed, one always in my coat pocket/purse, and then one on my make-shift makeup table in my room.
Winnipeg has been pretty harsh on my skin and most definetly my lips, they were always peeling and split, sometimes bleeding and this got to work on them really quickly. I don't think I've ever own so much lip balm...

Okay, so if you don't already know, I have acne issues and I'm pretty much try anything that says it's going to get rid of my acne. Still waiting.
I was kind of disappointed, but there were aspects of the product that I really liked: I looove foam cleansers, I personally think it's the only way to go and I feel like it's really digging down deep to cleanse my skin; I also really liked that there was no harsh scent associated with the product, and finally I really liked that it make my skin feel soft after washing, but while it did help with some of the blemishes around my mouth, it did nothing for the main problem area, my forehead.
It's worth mentioning that, I did get some pimples during the process (not related to the product but PMS (it's great isn't it?)) and it did reduce the redness considerably, and in some cases got rid of the pimple all together in a few days but I was also using another exfoliator at the time.
Long story short, it would probably work better for someone who's skin wasn't so difficult.

I bought this to accompany the foam cleanser (sorry, I got the name wrong, but you get it). I actually love the idea of the treatment but again, it didn't work for me personally. I loved that it was really light weight and that it made my skin feel smooth (cheeks and mouth area), but again it didn't work for me at all.
That being said, it almost did everything it says: didn't clog my pores, absorbs quickly, softens skin, it also calmed my skin down as well after washing. Every so often my skin gets irritated by some cleansers, and it was nice to have that aspect.

Well I should start by saying that the only reason I bought the product was because Shoppers Drug Mart has a service where if you buy the feature product, you get your makeup done for free and it was my Prom so I had to go the extra mile.
I thought the product was awesome and made even that much greater by the fact that even though I cried "laughing", the product really held its own. It didn't smudge, flake, and I didn't get it on my eyelids (which probably has more to do with me then the product itself, I just thought it was worth mentioning). Plus it' made my lashes reeeaallly stand out, I loved it.
Unfortunately, it was mysteriously lost when I lent it to my mother.
P.S That's a picture of me at Prom

I was kind of disappointed once I had used this product for a while and seen that while after washing (meaning while my face was still wet) it felt really good, but once I dried my face, it was just that... really dry and tight, even after I had moisturized I to this day have not seen any improvement in my skin. I still have the really aweful blemishes and acne in my t-zone area.
I will say that, I did like the microbeads but that was about it. It doesn't work any better then anything else I've tried and it sooo thick. It definetly wasn't worth the $9 I paid for it.
