Q-tips Cotton Swabs
I have been using Q Tips for years. I've tried to switch to cheaper brands or generic, but (and I know this sounds odd for a cotton swab), the quality just isn't there for cheaper brands. Highly recommend!

I've never used these before so I read the box first, and to be honest, the "don't use more than a month" worried me a little. But I didn't see anything in the ingredients other than herbal remedies that I've used before, so I tried it. I tried it with water initially, the taste was not good and looked and smelled off. Then I put it in my smoothie, it was ok.
I tried it for three days, and I did feel energized, but unsure if it's related to the product or just because I was busy. And I suspect you would most likely get the same effect if you took ginseng on its own.
If you're someone who is into herbal remedies, this product would probably be worthwhile to try, or look into energizing herbal options alone like ginseng.

I'm not keen on bars as a meal replacement as a weight loss strategy, but if you're in a hurry or need some energy, these are actually pretty tasty. I do find the price high for 5 bars/box, as compared to a box of granola bars (which I know, are not quite the equivalent of a meal replacement bar).

McCain Deep 'n Delicious Cookies & Cream Pie

McCain Deep 'n Delicious Carrot Cake
This is surprisingly good for a store bought carrot cake. Frosting is very tasty and not too sweet. The cake is light and fresh. I would recommend this for anyone wanting an easy carrot cake at home.

McCain Deep 'n Delicious Apple Pie
If you're looking for a quick dessert to pick up at the grocery store, this can do the trick, especially with a scoop of ice cream. However, if you are expecting it to taste like a homemade pie, this isn't it, best to go to a bakery.

McCain Deep 'n Delicious Marble Cake
I like all of the Deep n Delicious cakes. While vanilla is my favourite, I also really like this marble cake. I prefer a white cake, so this mixed in with chocolate is perfect. Moist and tasty, good for a chocolate fix.

NIVEA Pearly Shine Lip Balm
I received this for free as part of a review for the product. I really like the pearly shine of this balm, and it's very moisturizing. The price is comparable (maybe a little less) to other balms. I'd buy this product.

McCain Deep 'n Delicious Vanilla Cake
I think it would be hard to find someone who doesn't like a Deep n Delicious. Vanilla is my favourite, delicious! Great for an easy dessert, try a little fruit on the side for a bonus.

I am someone who takes very good care of my nails, and always have my nails manicured (at home) and polished. I normally can get at least 5 days out of a good manicure already (usually OPI), so I had high expectations for a polish that professes to last a week. As part of this review, I received a Salmon colour Polish + Top Coat.
I prepared my nails as normal for a polish, and did not do a base coat, as per the instructions. My initial impression of the polish is that it is quite thick and streaky. I did two coats plus the top coat, as per instructions. The consistency reminded me of nail polish that is close to its end date. It did not provide a consistent colour coverage of my nails, not professional looking. Perhaps a third coat would have done so, but I was following the instructions for this review.
I didn't care for the look of the polish, but I kept it on in order to test the one week claim. By day 4 (see pic), the tips of my dominant hand were all chipped off. The lines from the second coat also became quite visible, almost as if it was lifting. Very strange, as I'm used to a flaw free finish from polish, and can get more time out of a regular polish.
Removal was just as easy as any polish, and despite the no base coat, did not stain my nails.
I was pleased to try this as I had been wondering about this line, but I would not buy it or recommend it. Too streaky, not a flaw free look, and did not last a week.
