Twistos Asiago Baked Snack Bites
I tried these today and I was pleasantly surprised how yummy they were! From the package, it looks like these snacks are thicker (think the melba toast hard-ness). But I was really happy to see how light they were! Super yummy!

I bought this product after my EOS lip balm ran out.
I can’t say I’m completely in love. I’m a very specific lip balm girl, it needs to be super moisturizing, include SPF, and be in stick form (I find pot lip balms kinda annoying). After lots of research, I decided to pick up this one. The price, as everyone has mentioned, is a big turn off….almost 30 dollars. But lip chap is one of the more frequented items in my makeup bag, so I thought it would be worth it.
The formula is very thick, and it does moisturize. I find that when I smack my lips to distribute the balm, it starts to get dry closer to my mouth area. I have no idea why…more movement? The outer parts of my lips stay nice and moisturized though.
So this is a coin toss for me…it does work well enough…but not exactly what I’m looking for. I don’t think I’ll repurchase.

This is probably my go-to body wash.
I love the creamy consistency and how nicely it lathers. The scent is clean and fresh, which is exactly what you need in shower! I did find that sometimes my legs would get a bit dry on occasion. I would prefer a bit more moisturizing properties. Other than that, great price, and it works!

I've been using the Maybelline Dream Fresh BB cream for a couple of days now in the shade Light Medium.
So far I’ve loved it!
It has a nice light consistency. When researching this product, a lot of people were saying that the coverage isn’t great. It isn’t, compared to a full coverage foundation, but I find that it does cover more than a tinted moisturizer. I don’t have to use a moisturizer underneath this, all I do is very lightly powder it after application. For the price, it’s a great everyday product to use with concealer if you need more coverage.

John Frieda Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight Styling Spray

I got this as a sample from John Frieda. I'm not too sure why they actually sent this one to me, considering I have fairly straight hair anyways. I'm really glad I received this though, because it works great for me.
It says on the bottle that it is for curly hair. The issue with my hair is that it is 'straight', but right out of the shower, it gets extremely frizzy and poofy. Just very unfortunate.
I use this along with my John Frieda Frizz-ease serum right after I get out of the shower. Even without blow drying, it keeps my hair a bit more manageable.
Can't wait to buy the full size!

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
I used this in conjunction with the L'Oreal Professional Intense Repair Shampoo. I really liked this mask. It did make my hair feel noticeably moisturized. As mentioned in the Shampoo review, I was not really too fond of the smell. It smelled almost plasticy to me.
OVERALL
I did enjoy this hair mask, actually probably more than the shampoo. The one thing I noticed was that it was kind of heavy on my hair. After I rinsed it out, it felt soft, just heavy. It may be because I have thinner hair. Also, just in my opinion, I don't really like rinse out masks. :P I think it may be my laziness, but I don't like to dry my hair, and then hop back into the shower to rinse it out. I've used leave-in masks that have worked comparable to this product.
Pros:
-Moisturizes hair
Cons:
-Smell
-My personal dislike for rinse out masks
I rate this product 8/10

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Decent sized product. When I first used this, the first thing that I noticed was the smell. I honestly don't like the smell. The first thing that it reminded me of was plastic. It's not a strong overpowering smell, it's just not a smell that I particularily enjoyed. I did notice that my hair was moisturized when using this product. I have thin, frizzy hair, and this did end up moisturizing it. The one thing is that I didn't notice that it moisturized any more than my regular moisturizing shampoo. I still have a few fly-a-ways, but all in all, it made my hair feel smooth.
OVERALL
I was able to recieve these products for free from Chick Advisor, so I'm not too sure the price, but if it were any more than my regular shampoo, I don't think I would go for it. It was just an average shampoo for me.
Pros:
-Moisturizes hair
Cons:
-Price?
-Smell
I rate this product 6/10

I'd just like to start out by thanking Chick Advisor for sending me this camera! :D
When I first opened the camera, my first impression was that it was very sleek and clean. The black piano finish really makes it stand out.
This camera is extremely easy to use. The film is conveniently in little packages, so there are no worries about light exposure when you're changing film. It easily snaps in, and you're ready to take pictures! Something to remember is that the first picture you take is just a protective screen, so I whenever I reload, I try and just use that one up really quickly, so I don't forget about it and waste a good shot!
Something else wonderful is that it's super quick. The film instantly comes out of the top, and in a few minutes you have your picture!
For me, the size of the camera is not a big deal. In today's digital camera standards, this camera is a monster. For the size of the prints, I think this is reasonable though. I also don't find it awkward or hard to hold, which I thought may be due to its square size.
This camera also comes with a macro lens. This is a removable lens that you can use to take pictures of things closer up. I found it really cool, but I didn't really know how to use it at first. I was unsure about how much pressure to apply, but I finally lined up the groves and was able to snap it in.
All in all, I think this is a fantastic camera. I've never played around with an instant camera, so I have no idea how it compares to a Polaroid, but the Instax works wonderful for me. Everything about it makes it so easy to create the cutest pictures!

This is the first loose powder mineral makeup that i've purchased. I noticed that it was a bit pricey for a drugstore product. I guess it came with a brush though, so I guess that's good. The problem with this product, as been iterated by other reviews is that the makeup looks kind of cakey on your face. How I make it look the best it can look is by exfoliating, and applying and ample amount of moisturizer. This seems to help with the flakey and cakey look.
I find this product gives nice coverage and the brush I find is decent. I don't think I'll be repurchasing this though.
PROS
-Nice coverage
-Comes with a decent brush
CONS
-Gives a cakey look
-More expensive than other drugstore products i've seen

OVERALL
This is an average product in my opinion. The pores on my nose are extremely big, so that might have something to do with why this product doesn't deliver as best it could. I followed the instructions, and after I ripped the strip off, I still noticed some blackheads lurking around. Even so, I did see it work, sortta. You can see the dirt that it rips off on the strip. All in all....decent I suppose.
PROS
-Some dirt is taken out of your pores on your nose.
CONS
-I find it a sorta long procedure, around 20 mins?
-Doesn't clean my pores completely
