I was fortunate enough to be chosen by ChickAdvisor to try a trio of Pure Leaf black teas!
Black tea with vanilla is my favourite kind of tea so I was really excited to try this. The scent of vanilla is very distinguishable (even more so once the tea is steeped) and lends a mild vanilla flavour. I love that the taste of vanilla doesn't overwhelm the other flavours of the tea. The tea is definitely of great quality; the bags comprise of actual tea leaves rather than 'tea dust' and the tea tastes fresh and flavourful. The tea is a bit on the fragrant side (as opposed to a straight black tea taste), which I'm usually not a huge fan of, but it goes very well with the vanilla flavour. I'll definitely look out for this tea when shopping.

This is a great flavour of Cheecha Puff. It's difficult for lower calorie snacks (chips, puffs, crackers) to pull off a strong and tasty cheese taste. However, these are very satisfying! The triple cheese flavour adds depth to the puffs as opposed to just tasting like cheddar, like many other chip-type products do. -

I agree with another review of this product - that the cinnamon sugar taste is quite light. This greatly contrasts other Cheecha Puff flavours, which are usually very strong and covered in seasoning. Nonetheless, they're a great option to satisfy cravings for sweet foods without consuming lots of calories or fat. -

I love most CheeCha Puff flavours and this one is definitely a favourite. It is a tad salty, but most dill picke flavoured chips, puffs, etc. are.
The dill pickle flavour is strong and tasty, but not in a sharp way that causes you to cough (like popcorn for example) even though the puff pieces are very liberally covered in seasoning. They are very crunchy, which is great! I really can't say anything bad about this flavour.

I LOVE Urban Decay and their Naked Palettes. I recently bought this one because it was on promotion for $33. I'm so glad I did because this is such a great palette. The quality of the makeup holds up to other Urban Decay products, as expected.
I love the mix of highly pigmented shadows to more matte ones. It allows for so many looks; the possibilities really are endless. The eyeshadow goes on smoothly and is easy to build and blend. The colours go on just as they look on the palette, which is nice. I'll definitely use up this entire palette!

I love Philadelphia Cream Cheese and this is a standout flavour. Despite it being light, it still tastes creamy and has a great flavour. I like that I can see vegetable pieces mixed in and though they are very small pieces, you can still taste them and it makes toast, bagels, etc. more flavourful. -
Giuseppe pizzeria mini pizzas 3 cheese

I love that Dr Oetker came out with mini pizzas! I really wasn't too fond of the other available brands before. These are great! I like buying the cheese pizzas so that I can add toppings myself - I'm not too fond of the other versions.
The crust on these pizzas are good. They aren't too dough-ey or crispy, nor do they have a cardboard taste typical to frozen pizzas. The sauce isn't outstanding but it's not bad either - same with the cheese. There isn't too much cheese, not too little and it's not too salty.
Overall, it's a great new product!

I recently bought a Brita water bottle to reduce my plastic waste and I absolutely LOVE it. The bottle is light (including the weight of the filter) and really filters my water! I can taste the difference between water from the tap and water that has gone through the Brita filter; it is SO clean tasting and refreshing. I found I have actually increased my water intake as a result.
A somewhat trivial criticism would be the few available colours. I bought the plain and simple $10 bottle, so while I did not expect it to have a fancy design, I was a tad disappointed in the three colour options, which all were slightly underwhelming.
I also find the cap is difficult to get off the bottle and I have to squeeze the bottle for the water to easily flow out of the nozzle.
That being said, considering the cost of this product and the incredible effectiveness of its intended purpose, I am very happy overall. I also love how long the filters last (266 cycles).

I LOVE Classico pasta sauce. I have likely tried most of their varieties and they are all consistently good. I find with most pasta sauces, there's no real distinct difference between the flavours, but with Classico, that could not be farther from the truth. I recently decided to try the Garlic and Onion variety and it was distinctly garlic-ey and onion-ey :P. Most pasta sauces include both ingredients so you notice these flavours distinctly, but I definitely tasted a roasted garlic flavour and aromatic onions. Another great Classico product I'll buy again! -

A family member gave me a bar to try and at first glance, I was somewhat overwhelmed. The appearance of the product isn't bad by any means, but it doesn't look delicious. However, it had tons of flavour. I loved all the different nuts and seeds, which gave the bar flavour with depth. The coating added just the right amount of sweetness and wasn't too thickly coated. I would love for Nature Valley to develop new combinations and flavours of this bar! -
