I've always heard about Smith and Cult nail polish but I never tried it. It was a little expensive. But when looking for a really good way to preserve my at home manicure, I read articles and reviews raving about this brand.
I only purchased the base coat (The Basis of Everything) and their top coat and used my mail polish collection (opi) and believe it or not, I had absolutely NO CHIPS for an entire week!!! Usually my polish chips on day 2 or 3 (I'm really hard on my nails) but seriously - NO CHIPS!! I only took it off after 1 week to let my nails breathe for a few days before reapplying and I got the same results!
So very happy with this. A little pricey though but definitely worth it!

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Prep Cleanser
This cleanser did not make my skin feel tight and dry like so many cleansers make my face feel. It removed all of my stubborn eye makeup which is no easy task.

I have used a retinol product before and some have left my skin feeling tight and dry and flaky. But not this one!
I used this every other night (I wasn't sure how strong the retinol was) and the next morning my skin looked bright and glowing.
So far I have only used this product for 2 weeks so I can't give it a fair review for wrinkles but so far I am very pleased with this product

I have never tried Ethiopian food before. I have heard so many great things about it and was excited to receive this spice mix from FamilyRated and Knorr.
I didn't follow the Knorr recipe. Instead I followed another recipe using another brand's berbere spice to make chicken. I followed (and altered) this recipe.
You can really smell and taste the cinnamon in the spice mix - which for me is a good thing.
the result was good, but not quite as flavourful as I would have expected. maybe I needed to add more than just the spice mix, onions and garlic. I will keep finding other ways to use this spice mix. I do think this recipe would have worked better with lamb (given the cinnamon) as opposed to the chicken.

I loved this harissa spice mix! I made chick peas as well as meatballs using this spice mix and it was delicious! I made enough for 4 servings so the Mister and I could have it again during the week, but he ate it all! It was so good. It wasn't as spicy as I expected but very flavorful. I would definitely purchase this! -

this is a very light lemonaid flavoured ginger ale. So light, I'm not sure I would purchase it.
It was very light and refreshing. It has a stronger than expected lemon taste and very light on the ginger. It also wasn't very fizzy - almost watered down.
I also tried mixing it with vodka, for future cocktails when entertaining in the summer, but still not much of a fan.
I suppose its good if you're looking for something very light, but it wasn't for me personally. I'm not exactly sure what I was expecting, but I don't think I would purchase this again.

Breyers delights Raspberry Fudge

This ice cream was delicious and creamy, it really is hard to believe it is only 90 calories per 125 ml serving. It's so creamy, it actually reminds me a lot of frozen yogurt (which I like a lot!!) Its a great indulgence - and for only 90 calories, I don't feel guilty eating it! ...But it is a bit on the sweet side for me. But, I guess that's how you keep to the recommended serving size and not eat the entire package!
The chocolate fudge pieces in this ice cream are also good. My canister had a lot of fudge chunks which made me happy. I was also happy to find that the fudge din't have that powdery after taste that so many frozen chocolate chunks in ice cream have.
(If any of you remember Laura Secord's Very Berry Strawberry - it reminds me a lot of that!)
The only downfall of this is the price. The package is only 500 ml but (regular price) sells for roughly $6.99. I would purchase this on sale, but definitely not for the regular price.

this was a good soap. the Mister liked that it absorbed all the access oils and still didn't leave his skin feeling dry. He did prefer the face and body wash over the soap but it will come in handy when he is travelling and is restricted from taking too many liquids without checking his bags. Plus this is much lighter to pack.
Good product, but not too different from the face and body wash which he prefers to use on a daily basis.

the Miser really liked this product as it kept him feeling fresh and dry. He tends to go to the gym during his lunch hour and he felt confident after using this that he would not smell in the office.
It kept him dry on the weekends too when he does his 3 hour intensive workout (spin class, weights and kick boxing). He felt fresh and clean while using this.
Highly recommended.
