When I received a sample of this I was excited to try it. After all hyaluronic acid is all the rage. This serum claims to plump the skin, improve firmness and texture. Not to mention this serum has rave reviews. I unfortunately didnt have overly great results. Although it did seem to make my skin appear more plump and my frown lines less visible it also caused facial redness. My skin is not overly sensitive however when I looked at the ingredients alcohol denat
is one of the top five ingredients. Although there are alcohols( such as ceteary alcohol) which is good for the skin this one is not. Its a known irritant and not good for the skin.
Thinking that this serum retails for 120$ for a 30 ml bottle really surprises me. Im also very surprised at all the good reviews it has. Not to mention this serum leaves a tacky feeling on the skin. The good thing I can say about this serum is I applied it on my lips and accidentally licked my lios and noticed it had a nice sweet taste. Its also paraben free and like I said previously it did plump up the skin. If it wasnt for the fact that it left my skin looking slightly red making me investigate the ingredients I probably would have loved this product too.

This spinach dip is absolutely delicious. I often use it as a chip dip when I have plain rippled chips. It has a nice sour cream taste with lots of spinach. The onion and water chestnuts give it a nice little crunch. The ingredients in this are natural and I love that there's no preservatives and no trans fat. In my opinion this is just as good as homemade. I am going to take previous reviewers advice and heat it up and add cheese. So if you're having guests over serve this with vegetables, chips, crackers or baguette. You could get away with it's homemade and no one would second guess you. -

I like Vachon cakes cause they are individually packaged making it convenient and easy to pack in my lunch. Vachon lady fingers is a white cake with a jelly jam filling. It's dipped in the same typical chocolate that vachon uses for their other cakes such as May West's and Jos Louis.
This is my least favorite Vachon cake but that is most likely because I'm not a fan of jam fillings. The cake itself is slightly dry. It's not sweet which is something I like in a cake. The jam filling is what makes this cake. If youre like me and not crazy about jelly fillings this may not be for you. If you do then give these a try. I picture these cakes being set out with other cookies and cakes and served for tea time.

I always wanted to try Tim Tam's to see what all the hype was about but found they were too expensive. Imagine my surprise when I seen them in my local grocery store for 2.99$ a pack. Since then I have bought them every time I do groceries. Even though they are cookies they have a mini chocolate bar feel. Two crispy, chocolate cookies with a chewy caramel center, enrobed in milk chocolate. If twix was a chocolate cookie this would be it. -

I was really excited that my husband bought me this perfume for Christmas because who doesnt want to be reminded of the beach in the cold of winter. After applying however I was deeply disappointed. This did not make me think of the beach at all. In my opinion the scent was like an inexpensive, floral perfume. Perhaps if it had a more natural floral scent it would be more pleasant to wear. I found the jasmine very dominant to the point where I did not smell anything else. That being said I am not a fan of jasmine and always notice that the perfumes that I dont like contain jasmine. So for others this may be an enjoyable scent. It also may not have worked well with my body chemistry. Either way I was disappointed cause not only was this a gift but I was hoping to get that beach scent of sunscreen, salt water and tropical air so that I could have a summer vibe in the winter months. -

What is not to like about these kettle cooked chips. They are thick and crunchy and taste great. I find the smoky bacon taste to be more pronounced than the sweetness of the maple but both flavors compliment each other nicely. These chips are naturally flavored and GMO free. I find kettle chips to be very satisfying and have a more potatoe like taste to them. I'm ashamed to say I finished the entire 220 g bag while watching t.v. -
Hershey's Eggies
These mini eggs are colorful and fun. The chocolate centre is encompassed with a crunchy, swert, candy shell.They are bite sized and once I start eatting them its hard to stop. My kids and I both like them. I prefer the Cadbury Mini Eggs more... +
These mini eggs are colorful and fun. The chocolate centre is encompassed with a crunchy, swert, candy shell.They are bite sized and once I start eatting them its hard to stop. My kids and I both like them. I prefer the Cadbury Mini Eggs more because I find their chocolate tastes better but these are definitely a close second. Easter just wouldn't be as good without these but I am happy they have become available all year round. -

Since I tried a couple of pro-retinol creams that actually got rid of the fine lines surrounding my eye area I had high hopes for this. When it didn't work right away I gave it more time because with the other ones I tried in the past it took about three weeks or more before I noticed a change. With this eye cream I am almost finished the pot and there is no difference from the day I started using it. That being said it is very moisturizing and a little goes a long way. I love how thick and creamy it is. Although its very rich it absorbs quickly. I find it leaves my surrounding eye slightly greasy but not to the point where I haven't been using it twice daily. On the box it states for best results to wash with their cleanser and use with the Ultra-Lift Anti-Wrinkle Firming Moisturizer. Perhaps if I would have followed their advice this eye cream would have been more effective. -

I have never tried Fair life milk before but since I want to reduce my sugar intake I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did because not only is their 50% less sugar than regular milk but it also contains 50% more protein. Even though this is skim milk I didn't find it any less creamy than the 2% milk we usually get. It tastes great and it is lactose free. It is slightly more expensive than regular milk but well worth the price in my opinion. -

I love these wipes. They are gentle on the skin and effectively remove all traces of makeup including waterproof mascara. They don't feel abrasive on the skin and cause no burning or irritation to the surrounding eye area. I find these even better than the Neutregana wipes I was using before and even less expensive. -
