I'm a huge dark chocolate fan and this ice cream was perfect! Rich, creamy and not too sweet. A perfect complement to strawberries for a decadent dessert. This flavor was my favorite and I'll definitely be buying it again! DELICIOUS!!! (and worth even the non-sale price of $9!)

After I got my wonderful package from Breyers through the product review club, I had to think of the perfect place to try these flavors.... I took them to a friends summer bbq and this chocolate chessecake was the least liked. I also tried it and I'm not a huge cheesecake fan, but it just didn't really taste like cheesecake. The kids at the party definately didn't take a liking to it and there were a few big cheesecake fans who thought it just didn't taste like cheesecake. It had a very light cheesecake flavor, but mostly chocolate. Overall, I found it a bit disappointing. I still think overall, the quality of breyers double churn ice cream is creamy and yummy so I still finished my helping for this flavor - it is also quite nice looking with the chocolate swirls. I wouldn't buy this one again (even if it was on sale) I think some of the other cheesecake flavored ice creams on the market taste more like cheesecake.... -

After I got my wonderful package from Breyers through the product review club, I had to think of the perfect place to try these flavors.... I took them to a friends summer bbq and the banana cream pie flavor was a hit! I don't think there are too many banana ice cream options on the market and this one (like all breyers double churn ice creams) was creamy and tasty, without a fake banana taste. It tasted like creamy banana and I loved the graham cracker pieces.... The only disadvantage was the price. I usually buy breyers when it's on sale because regular price, this ice cream is $9/carton (usually goes on sale for $4.99). I would buy it again (when it's on sale). My husband who loves banana desserts especially loved it and it was also popular with the kids at the party! -

I love these jeans - I bought them late last year on a trip to the states. I get compliments every time I wear them because they are so flattering! I especially love that they aren't "real" jean - much lighter and comfier... I got the very dark wash and they haven't faded at all... The only downside I would say is that because they are so wide-leg, they definately look best with chunky heels, so I only wear them on "heel" appropriate occasions which means I don't wear them too often:)
The flaps on the back are especially flattering!!

I tried this mascara as part of the ChickAdvisor Review Club.
I never leave home without mascara and have tried many different brands, but never Maybelline, since I usually splurge for a higher end brand when it comes to mascara.
The packaging is really nice and I was impressed initially - it looks similar to other high end products (unlike the super bright packaging characteristic of many other drug mart brands)
In terms of it's effectiveness, it definately did lenghthen and seperate my lashes, but it made them too seperate. The brush was more "prickly" than even my normal lash seperating brush. There was no volumizing at all - so overall it made my lashes look less full and really long which I didn't like.
Also, by midday, I found that the mascara was flaky and I had some dark small spots under my eyes (and I don't rub my eyes) so I think it was "shedding".
It was pretty easy to take off, and I didn't love the smell.
Overall, even though I liked the way it the packaging looks and I liked the dark colour, I wouldn't purchase this myself:) I think it would look best on someone who is going for the look described, or something who has very thick lashes and only needed lenghtening/seperating.

My favorite eyeshadow - I use it as a base for everything, and esp like finishing off my eye makeup with a dab of this in the inner corner of my eye

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! I really like eyeshadow and have always worn it when I want to get dressed up - but I always find by the end of the night I don't even look like I was wearing make up. This was suggested to me by a sephora make up artist and I would never wear eyeshadow without it now! It makes your eyelid the perfect canvas... I HIGHLY recommend it! -

I really like this product - I have darker (east indian background) skin and I like that there are only two shades because this product is designed to blend really well into many different skin types. Until now, I've only used tinted moisturizer, because foundation is too heavy on my skin - this is a nice compromise - definately more coverage.. I just hope once my tan is gone, it still blends nicely! :) -

I am not a big eyeliner girl and only use this on special occasions. It's a bit pricey, but works well with the right brush and stays put until you take it off (it doesn't say on the box, but I'm pretty sure it's waterproof - something you could use to wear on teary days like weddings etc..) Also, for a black liner, it stays really black vs the many other products I've tried that turn gray/lighter over the evening. I would recommend it! -
Lancôme Paris Hypnose Mascara
I love this product and use it everyday. lengthens lashes, lasts long, not too difficult to remove (not like a waterproof mascara) and I feel like it keeps my lashes pretty health.. love it!
