I recently got a colour match done at Sephora and was matched with this piece of heaven. It was more than I usually spend on makeup, but I figure I'd give it a shot.
I first wore it to a wedding on a hot summer weekend, and I'm not a girl who "glows" - I straight up sweat lol. Because of this, I know that some (read: most) long-wear foundations don't actually last all day for me. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation ACTUALLY LIVES UP TO ITS NAME! I applied it in the morning and used a setting powder on top. I don't usually wear a lot of makeup, so I appreciated how lightweight it really was. The most astonishing thing was that in spite of the 32°C weather, numerous tissue paper pat downs (remember, I sweat) and all the chaos of the day, I was whooping it up on the dance floor without having to retouch my makeup at all! ☺️
Overall:
- It's very lightweight
- long-lasting
- doesn't rub off easily, and
- it's a decent price, I'm told ($59.00) --> which was a lot for me as an infrequent makeup-wearer, but you don't use a lot so it will last you a while.

I had the opportunity to try three Protini varieties recently and here's my review of each:
1) Turkey and Cheddar - it seemed like a healthier grown up version of a Lunchable, and it was pretty tasty. I liked the combination of turkey and cheddar on what appeared to be multigrain crackers. The crackers were a little salty for my liking - you could actually see and feel grains of salt - but overall I felt satisfied after this snack.
2) Tandoori Chicken - this was paired with a mango dipping sauce and I was a bit sketipal of the flavour combination but, oh man! it was so good! The chicken tastes great with or without the sauce, but the tandoori spices went so well with the mango flavour and takes the overall taste to a whole other level.
3) Honey Garlic Chicken - When I think of honey garlic, I usually think of honey garlic chicken wings which dripping in sauce. I think that image kind of ruined my expectations of this flavour variety, because even though the chicken was well-seasoned and juicy, I felt like it could have been saucier... though that probably would have made it extremely less healthy lol
Overall, I really love the concept of Protinis and after having each package, I was felt satisfied, without feeling stuffed. Without a doubt, it's a better snack alternative to downing a bunch of carbs and I will definitely buy this product in the future.

I genuinely loved the taste! I tried it both chilled in a can, and mixed into a homemade punch this past holiday weekend and it was great in both variations. On its own, it was a bit too carbonated for my liking, but I really liked the subtle lemon-lime taste. It's got a natural sweetness to it too, it's hard to believe it's zero calories and no sugar! -

This was the perfect blend of milk and dark chocolate. You can tell with this bar, like the other flavoured versions of Baroness chocolate, that this is premium quality chocolate.
I'm glad that I was introduced to this line and I'm definitely a new fan!

Baroness Chocolates Tummy Rub
This was my second favourite Baroness flavour. I naturally love milk chocolate and cookie flavours and this was a real treat to my tastebuds. I wish that the cookie pieces were more evenly distributed but other than that, it's an instant favourite.

It's another great combination that I wouldn't typically try, but ended up loving. The dark chocolate lovers in my office loved it too.

Wow. This was one of the flavours I wasn't sure of, because typically I am not a fan of salted sweets, but it was such a sweet surprise! The salty flavour actually paired well with the almonds, and the dried cranberry was the perfect addition. This is one I probably wouldn't have chose on my own, but I'm definitely a fan. -
Baroness Chocolates Aiyaaaa!
This was BY FAR my favourite flavour! I love butterscotch and as a whole, this bar was phenomenal. I do agree with other reviewers that there could have been more almonds, but even still: a magical combination. #yum!

This was the first bar I sampled and I was in no way disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised that the toffee part of this combination was actual bits of sponge toffee (my absolute fav!) and it went very nicely with the almonds and coffee, which was not at all overpowering. -
