I am lactose intolerant and haven't been able to enjoy ice cream in a while. I had an opportunity to try this flavour and it is wonderful. The non-dairy is made with almonds and I didn't notice the difference in taste. The consistency is only slightly different from regular ice cream. The taste and flavour are great and what I would expect from a Ben and Jerry's product. While I found that the pricing of this was not any different from regular Ben and Jerry's, it is still quite expensive, generally. Would recommend to vegans and people who are lactose intolerant. -

BECCA is quickly becoming one of my favourite makeup brands. They are great for those who have slightly sensitive skin. I also find that BECCA provides a great range of full to light coverage. I use their concealing creme and absolutely love it but I was finding that sometimes even with the concealer, my eyes look very tired. I got a sample of the corrector from Sephora and I was instantly hooked. I really noticed a difference. I also use this sometimes on its own. It has a bit of a sparkle too it but nothing too much. This corrector might be a bit too thick for some people, but I really like the consistency. A little goes a very long way, much like their concealing creme. I also find that if you dot it on with a small concealer brush and blend with your ring or pinky finger, it softens and blends very nicely and evenly. It is a bit pricey at the outset so it lost a but on the rating but as I said, a little goes a long way and it should last you a while. I've had my pot for about 2 months and it barely looks like I've used anything and I use it every day. -

This is one of my favourite cheat cereals. I don't eat too much cereal these days but this reminds me of my childhood, so I tend to eat it on days when I need a bit of comfort. It can be a bit too sweet to eat on a regular basis (kids would probably disagree). I like to eat these without milk too. They have a great combination of sweet and crunch. -

I have tried three of these lip balms and didn't like a single one. All of them were incredibly drying and I think they actually caused my lips to chap. The scents were not nice and I found the product itself to just leave a waxy layer on my lips. The only plus side of these balms are that the containers are easy to open, especially if you have just put hand cream on and then realised you needed to put a balm on. For the price, I would not buy these again. -
ChapStick Classic Cherry Lip Balm
You can't go wrong with a classic. These balms are highly moisturizing and have a great scent to them. I have tried the other flavours they've come out with but I keep coming back to the original.

I really don't understand the obsession with these lip balms. I find them terribly drying and the scent is so off putting. I don't like the texture of it either and I feel like it is coating my lips in a weird wax. I also found it started to smell a bit rancid after a few uses. -

I would not be able to survive winter without this. I do not leave the house in winter without this. It keeps my lips for chapping and helps to heal the chapping that I inevitably get. I like to apply this just as I am leaving the house as it provides a bit of protection from the wind when I walk to work. -

This is one of my favourite lip balms. I am plagued with chapped lips and this is a thick, but not too thick balm. It doesn't have much of a scent, which I like. As for the container, I like that it it has a large lid as it makes it easier to open when on the move. It also makes it pretty easy to find it in my bag. The price is really reasonable and when it is only sale, it is even better! -

I used to use this religiously but I found that the container lid got very sticky and gross. On occasion the product would squeeze out too quickly and get everywhere. I also found that continued use really dried out my lips. I now only occasionally use this. I also would not use this if you have cracked lips as the mint really burns. Would still recommend this though as it is a quality product and has a high shine, if that is the look you are going for. -

I recently purchased this in the colour Bend & Snap as a special event rather than an everyday lipstick. The colour is bright but not overly. I found that the lipstick dried quite quickly after application, so precise application is needed. I prepped my lips about 10 minutes before by putting on a clear balm, which helped with the drying feeling that people have mentioned. I did not find that it bled or cracked. As I don't wear it as an everyday, I can't speak to the overall longevity of it but it stayed on for at least 3 hours and a meal with minimal transferring and no smudging. As someone who doesn't wear lipstick that often, my only hesitation is with the price. -
