I admit, I am a newbie when it comes to loose powder foundation! I currently use a liquid or pressed powder - so my experience with brushes is limited to applying blush or bronzer.
The brush itself is a short, tightly packed brush - which helps to easily apply the powder to your face in an adequate amount. The bristles are soft and felt comfortable on my skin.
I personally found it took me a little longer to apply the foundation in this fashion compared to applying a liquid by hand or pressed powder with a make up pad. The powder is a lighter coverage, so I did feel that I needed to go over the same areas a few times to get a little more coverage.

While I do wear a foundation daily to even out my complexion, I have only used liquids and pressed powders - this was my first trial of a loose powder.
The loose powder takes a little longer (In my opinion) to apply compared to a pressed powder & make up pad or a liquid foundation -but really not a huge time difference.
I really liked the look of the Nude by Nature powder once it was on my skin - it did a great job of blending flawlessly into my skin, evening out my complexion and covering light blemishes.
That being said, I tend to be one of those lucky people who have under eye circles and I found the product was not able to conceal them to my liking - I definitely needed a concealer in that area. The loose powder lightened them, but it was just not to my liking for concealing!
I found the coverage to be long lasting - I applied my make up at 6:30 in the morning and it was still in place by 6 pm in the evening - a huge win in my books!
I have no idea what the price point will be of the product as it isn't here in Canada yet, but if it is reasonable in price (retails for £25.00 which would be $45 CDN - a little more than I would be willing to spend so I am hoping it is more reasonable) I would happily buy this product again!

While I do use a primer on a regular basis, I wasn't familiar with the Nude by Nature perfecting primer.
My first impression is that it is a nice light weight liquid with a pleasant (subtle) scent. It absorbed into my skin quickly and easily - though I did find it a wee bit sticky feeling in a few spots.
The Nude by Nature loose powder applied easily over top of the primer - which helped keep my make up on for the course of the day without any touch ups!
I would recommend this product & buy it again!

I had heard GREAT things about the Premier Protein line - so I was really excited to try the product out for myself.
I have to say - I am on the fence with whether or not I WOULD purchase the product after trying the product out for myself.
Premier Protein packs a nutritional punch in each serving - the calories (160) are low, the protein (16g) is high and the sugar is also low! Everything is bang on there for me.
That being said - I found the product to taste very watered down. My first sip that was my first impression - the chocolate flavor was very muted as it was so watery. (The first ingredient IS water)... This is kinda a miss in my books as I prefer a thicker protein drink.
I found the product didn't really tide me over for a long period of time, but it was a good nutritional boost for my daily life
The taste wasn't bad, just watery. I would still recommend the product all being said!

I am an avid protein bar consumer; I often eat them as a meal replacement if I am on the go and use them as a dietary supplement. For that reason, I am cautious about the ingredients that are in bars I consume and try to go towards ones that are lower sugar (and less like a chocolate bar with some protein added as many can be nutrition wise)
I was really happy to be able to try these PowerBar ProteinPlus bars as nutritionally they pack a great punch and contain 2g sugar for the Lemon Poppyseed bars - completely fitting with my needs/wants of a bar.
I don't generally gravitate towards lemon flavored goods a whole; but these bars are DELICIOUS!! Out of the two flavors I tried, I LOVED the lemon poppyseed bar the most. It legit tastes exactly like a lemonpoppy seed muffin. The texture is soft, the taste is a spot on to a muffin (without any weird aftertastes) and it is super filling. I am 100% sold.
Price wise - a box of 4 is about $7. They are a fraction of the price of the expensive health food bars I was purchasing (and will no longer be buying)
I honestly have NOTHING bad to say about these bars!

I was really happy to be able to try these PowerBar ProteinPlus bars as nutritionally they pack a great punch and contain 3g sugar for the Chocolate Peanut butter bars - completely fitting with my needs/wants of a bar.
Holy hannah, I am sold! I honestly had to double check the label to make sure that there was truly only 3g of sugar - these bars are DELICIOUS!! The texture is soft, the taste is a perfect chocolate peanut butter taste (without any weird aftertastes) and it is filling.

I have tried other Batiste products before and really loved them, so I was pumped to try out the new Batiste Dry shampoo cherry scent!
I;ll start by saying the scent is really nice - I am not sure I would peg it as cherry if I didn't know, but it's a nice scent.
I noticed that the spray left A LOT more white powdery residue compared to other Batiste products.. As I am a blonde haired gal, it was easy enough to conceal and blend into my hair without any real noticeable after effects; but I am pretty positive that any one with darker hair would find it to leave their hair almost grey looking.
It did work really well to absorb some grease inbetween washes and leave my hair looking fresher, so for that I do give it a thumbs up!

I love these little hand sanitizers! They are the perfect size for tossing into your purse or bag for on the go (and are travel friendly sized for airplanes!).
The gels aren't overly strong alcohol scent - the fragrance takes care of masking that!
You can usually buy them x for $x amount, so you can always have one on you, in the car, etc to keep your protected when you can't get to a sink!

Chocolate Cheerios
One of my favorite cereals for snacking on - it has a great chocolate flavor but is still low in sugar per serving! I couldn't see eating it every day - and it still contains sugar, but it's a great treat!
