This granola bar is really delicious. The dark chocolate chunks are huge, in fact, the biggest I've seen in granola bars, ever! Mixed with the bits of dried cherries, almonds and cranberries, this makes for a great flavour combination. I just love getting the piece of chocolate mixed into the bite. Very filling as a snack and a substantial size, which I find to be bigger than the standard granola bar. The only downside is that it can taste a little dry, so much so that it constantly feels like it's stuck in my throat. I need to drink lots of water afterwards, but I guess that's to be somewhat expected with this type of snack. I would still repurchase, just for the chocolate! -

Since the product hit the shelves, this has become one of my go-to blushes. It's highly pigmented so be careful about not using too much at once. Just gently tap the brush and build up the colour on your cheeks. It does contain sparkle, but it's not to the point of it looking weird on your face. It creates a nice, glowing look instead. The shade, itself, is a warm coral pink.I feel the shade compliments most skin tones and is a great dupe for NAR's Orgasm blush at a mere fraction of the price. This is definitely a blush to have in your repertoire, whether you're a beginner or an expert at applying makeup. -

I received a sample of these Tic Tac candies and have really enjoyed eating them. The concept is that the flavour will change from cherry to cola as the candy dissolves and this is exactly what happened. I especially thought the cola flavour was true to taste. It really made me think I was sipping the soda. The two flavours combined go really well together. The candy, itself, lasts for about a minute before completely dissolving. It doesn't freshen breath like a mint Tic Tac would, but if you need a sweet pick me up, it will do the trick. -

This cream is so luxurious, yet light and fresh at the same time. I really felt special and pampered using it. It instantly made my skin look hydrated and dewy in all the right places. My combination skin felt and looked even. Dryness was no longer evident and the oily parts weren't overly shiny. With continued use of about 3 weeks time, I'm seeing a smoother complexion and my skin looks more plump and healthy. It is a fragranced moisturizer and although I could have done without the scent, it's not too overpowering for it to become a bother. I would have liked it to have an SPF included, so as to skip that extra step. Glad that there are no parabens though. A tad expensive but very well worth it!

I have combination, sensitive skin and I believe this was my first time using a serum as part of my beauty routine (If I have before, it's been a very long time). My initial reaction to the product was that it went on smoothly and it absorbed really well into my skin. The scent was mild and quite pleasant. Since I used this product in conjunction with a moisturizer from the same hydrating line, I was initially concerned that the layering of products and added boost in hydration would make me break out. I'm glad to say this didn't happen. As I continued to use the product for the next three weeks, I noticed my skin has had less dry patches. They aren't flaking anymore, which I often still experience after only applying moisturizer to the area. I think the serum really plays a part in sealing in the moisture and allows my skin to maintain a healthy, radiant glow. Applying foundation has been an easier task because of this. The only negative thing I can think of is that since the texture of the serum is more liquid, I sometimes came close to spilling some of it. Just be careful when pumping the bottle. Speaking of the bottle itself, I love the elegant shape and design. Great product!

I really enjoyed using this eye balm and was so glad I got to test it out since my undereye area is usually very dry. This makes applying makeup to the area a challenge since it tends to cake up and show the dry patches. I find the eye balm really helped in keeping the delicate skin hydrated and with the added help of a primer, which I applied over it, I found my concealer would glide on more easily. The cool, lightweight, gel consistency of the balm felt pleasant and refreshing. I would tap it on gently and it absorbed well into the skin. This product is going to last you a very long time because you really don't need much in order to do the job, therefore, although the price is pretty high end, you'll get your money's worth. In terms of undereye dark circles and bags, I did notice a difference. The circles are less obvious and this has had me wearing less concealer (which is a good thing, especially in this summer heat!) and the hollow bags also seem to be subsiding. I even got compliments this week that I looked well rested, even though my sleeping pattern hasn't changed. The only thing I've added to my eye routine is this product. I will certainly continue to use this eye balm and I have a feeling it could even replace my usual eye products. I love it that much!

I received a sample of this product recently and have been loving the results. Over the years, I've purchased and tried many hair oils but this has been my favorite so far. I was worried it would have left a greasy residue in my fine hair, but it didn't. I applied it both to damp and dry hair but prefer to blow dry it on damp hair. It left my hair shinier this way. I just used a few drops on my medium length hair, so I can see this lasting a good while. My hair feels sleek and looks healthier after using this product. Definitely recommended! -

I received a sample size of this product recently and have really enjoyed testing it out. My hair was in serious need of moisture after such a dry winter. After just one use of this conditioner, my hair's ends no longer looked fried, but smoother. It didn't weigh down my fine hair nor did it make it feel greasy. Gives great shine and reduced the frizz I'm so accustomed to having. Great product and definitely worth purchasing! -

I received a sample of this shampoo recently and have really enjoyed how it made my hair look and feel. My hair has been rather dry and dull lately. After the first try, my hair felt softer, bouncier and definitely less tangled. With a few more uses, I am seeing more shine and fullness. In terms of helping with breakage, I don't notice a difference. I've been shedding hair about the same as before I started washing with this shampoo. Maybe with a lengthy continuous use, the difference can be seen, but my sample size was not big enough to really see this happen. It's still, however, a product I would consider purchasing. -

When I think of gelato, I picture the creamy, decadent Italian treat. The quality should set it above the normal ice cream we're accustomed to buying at the grocery store or ice cream shop. I was excited when I saw Chapman's came out with a Gelato line of products and was ready to reminisce my time in Italy as I tasted every spoonful. Unfortunately, this came nowhere close to what gelato should taste like. I feel they just gave their line fancy flavours, like Vanilla "bean" instead of just your regular vanilla but that's about it. I actually prefer the taste of their regular ice cream over this. Their gelato was not as smooth and very hard to scoop into an ice cream cone. It kept crumbling into tiny pieces and I just gave up and ate it in a cup instead. I won't be repurchasing as I feel I'm paying extra just for the "gelato" name and not the product itself. -
