Calvin Klein Euphoria Eau de Parfum
I love this perfume as well! I received it as a gift and wasn't sure if I would like it (as I always used "Princess" as my daily perfume) and I absolutley adore it! Every time I wear it to work, someone else compliments me on it and asks what it is!

I like chips and flavourful items but I wasn't sure about the Rice Snacks when I bought them. Once I tried them, however, I was SOLD!
The ones I like the best are the Sweet Chili flavour. They are VERY flavourful and don't skimp on the seasonings like some brands of snacks!
The other reason I love them is that they have a very dense chip texture - almost like a tortilla chip rather than a potato chip. They are very filling and with one serving I am full (which doesn't happen with other snacks of this type I find!).
1 serving is 10 chips and they only have 170 calories, are low in fat and are filling!
I would suggest them to anyone who is looking for a snack item that fills them up (or, like me, someone who is always watching their caloric and fat intake).

Like one of the other readers, I was struck by the "Freaky Friday" concept of the novel and must admit that I was concerned that it might be a rehash of a plot that has been done before. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this novel was much more than my first impressions! It was fun, witty and engaging! I enjoyed the characters and found myself gravitating towards the book because I wanted to read more! It is the first novel I've read by this author and I'm looking forward to reading more of her books!
War and Peace this book is not but in terms of a fun, chicklit novel I would highly recommend it. It would make a great beach read this summer!

Maybelline New York Mineral Power Concealer

I like the concealer as I tend to have dark circles by nature and still get the odd blemish to cover. I got it in ivory which matched well with the foundation.
I learned, though, that you can't apply it on its own as it is too heavy and you have to have a REALLY light hand to make it work.
I like it but I need to work on it to make sure I get the right consistency.

Though I find that foundation really enhances my skin, I hate liquid foundation so I was thrilled to try a powder foundation. I chose natural ivory as my skin is really fair and I was THRILLED by the result! I have oily skin and I found that the powder absorbed the oil in my skin, covered a multitude of faults and gave me an "airbrushed" effect that I loved! The only thing I didn't like was that it did leave a tinkle in my nose (I'm not sure if that was the mineral effects on my skin?).
Overall I loved it and the compliments I got from my colleagues at work were amazing!

I was really impressed with the power blush. I'm very fair, so I chose original rose, but I was worried about whether the colour would suit me or be too dark. I had no reason to worry! The colour was dark enough to be effective but subtle enough to appear natural. I had to be careful, though, not to get too much on the brush and found that tapping the bottle helped to get off the excess. I tossed out my old blush after trying the power blush and it is now part of my everyday makeup! -
Maybelline New York Mineral Power Pressed Powder Finish Veil

When it first arrived, I wasn't sure about an item called a "veil" but it really is amazing! I used it with the foundation and the blush and I found that it really set well, looked natural and I didn't have the mid-day shine I often get on my nose!
I actually got rid of my other powder and it is now my powder of choice!

Like the Eclat Noir, I think that if you are a devoted lover of dark chocolate, you'll love this chcolate! As someone who is not, however, I found it too intense and not sweet enough for my liking. I actually tried using it as a rich compliment with vanilla yoghurt and it really worked! -
Nestlé Noir Cherry
The combination of the richness of the dark chocolate and the sweet/tartness of the cherries works on many levels! I enjoyed eating it on its own but also broken into pieces in vanilla ice cream. It has a decadent flavour!

I am now a devotee of this chocolate! The rich dark flavour is perfectly balanced with the caramel pieces. Even my husband, who doesn't generally eat dark chocolate, ate one piece and then I had to hide it from him as he wanted to eat it all! It is absolutely FABULOUS! -
