Luna Caramel Nut Brownie Flavour Review

Hello Hello! Today's blog isn't about beauty or anything like that but its about a bar.....yes a protein energy whatever you want to call it.

First off the bat, I bought this only because it was on sale for $1.19. I wanted to see how it tasted and all  I have to say is that I prefer my home-made raw bars 150% over this.

It is so dry which makes you so thirsty it really isn't even funny. It tastes so processed and fake and not like anything real except the walnuts. I didn't get a "brownie" feeling from it at all. It was very sweet for a "health" bar as well which I guess would curb a chocolate or caramel craving but over all this bar will not be bought again from me!

Ways it could be improved:

• have the brownie part of the bar be soft like a real brownie and not like stone...
• have more walnuts inside
• no be so hard overall to chew
• maybe not have a page of ingredients in the bar that I can't even pronounce?

The only real positive feedback I have for this is that the packaging is nicely done, but that is just from my nerdy Print eyes noticing that!

A whole piece of this bar goes into my "not to buy again or try again list," I wouldn't recommend it just because of the dryness (Yes, I'm sure they need that so it doesn't go bad on the shelf but come on!) also the whole brownie aspect of it was missed dearly in my opinion. This had inspired me to go make some of my own homemade raw bars, so have a great Friday!

Monday Free-day

Everyone knows Monday's are terrible, they are so far from Friday...

My sister went home this morning, even though I will be back home this weekend for my spring break but still.

Meanwhile my boyfriend has finally arrived safely in Whitehorse after a 5 day drive up to his new job.

I am super super happy for him and proud but I miss the hell out of him. But, my Mamma keeps telling me

"What doesn't kill you Makes your Stronger."

So today was actually okay!  This morning I found this braclet in the alley walking to Ihop with my sister. It made my morning, its actually really cute. After my Digital Print class I was on the bus coming home and saw a SPC package (its a Student Price Card and costs about $9 for those who don;t know and gives you discounts to a zillion places)

And it has not been activated and its brand new! I was so excited..I mean Vancouver is a busy place and people loose stuff all the time, but today I really got lucky! When I thought my awesome karma couldn't get better I got home and saw I got my Julep Maven Box!

I ordered this a few weeks back when they had a promo on that you could get a box for only $.01. Thanks to a fellow blogger  (http://hapamanda.blogspot.com) I am now enjoying a harsh $1.90 for two nail polishes and a hair spray. Thanks Hapamanda!

SPC Card and Braclet

Hair Spray, gold glittery nail polish in OSCAR, and a dark purple called Viola
This is the Bomb Shell Maven package by the way***

Pink Slips & Sisters

Yesterday my baby sister came  from the island (my home), well she's only two years younger so not a baby but still. She is going to see Mac Miller tomorrow night, I'm so jealous and i regret not buying tickets right away.

So after I met her downtown Vancouver, we went home and had some lunch.

We then wandered to the Thrift Store up the street looking for nothing in particular. My sister was looking for cassettes (yes, cassettes) for her Jeep since she doesn't have a CD player yet. So with no luck we went to the Value Village. She got a Bryan Adams Best Hits, Def Leopard Lynyrd Skynrd, and a Now Rap's What I Call Music.

I also realized that Value Village has rocks in their heads for what they charge now. A lot of their clothing is not even priced that fairly anymore, the second they see a brand name they jack it up like 5 times. But, I am pretty cheap when it comes to second-hand clothes so.

But, I did buy one thing!

A Liz Clairborne New York  Purse/Clutch

I love the colour and the straps are removable! 

I'm a bit obsessed with it right now but...who wouldn't be?

I paid $26 for it, and that was at Value Village.

(This is without straps)

With Straps, and Flash

Then we came back home, got ready and went for dinner to Earls.

It's just a bus ride away so we ended up eating around 8:20.

We got three appies and omg they were so good.

After dinner which she paid for (such a nice sister!)

we walked to the Tim Horton's. * Yes, such a Canadian thing to do I know hahah. I got a half French Vanilla and Honey Crueler. Its ROLL UP THE RIM month, but neither of us won. After we left we were walking to the bus stop and there was a tiny little hill and I told my sister that it was slippery and two seconds later she completed slid and ate it.

Amazingly she still had her Hot chocolate up in her hand not a drop spilled! But she was covered in mud and when she tried to get back up she made this hilarious old lady yelp and fell back down. It was seriously a almost piss yourself kinda of moment. 

After running for the bus we got home and got into cozyness and made ....this  drink we call the "Pink Slip". (because of the colour and the events of the night hahah) Her's was a Virgin but mine was so yummy I usually only drink beer or whatever but ohh these can be dangerous!

Well anyways hope everyone has a good, lazy Sunday and Remember that the smallest things that make you laugh can become the biggest memories

My Youngest Elf Order

So, I haven't noted this yet but I am a E.L.F make up lover.....It got a bit ...overboard this past year but I made an order the other day..this is my 6th order since April 2011. I know that may not seem like a lot compared to other E.L.F lovers but hey, I'm a full time college student, a girl can only get so much make-up..(plus I honestly I do not know where to put it anymore!)


So I will share with you what I ordered from the U.S website the other day.
They had a $20 free "mystery" bag with a purchase of over $20, and since I love anything free I caved in! I got a friend to get a few things with my order as well since up here in Canada, the shipping is about $14,, that way we both get new stuff and only pay about $7 ish :)
I will try to do a review of everything when I get my order, which is about three weeks from now (hahahah gotta love shipping to Canada!)

                Elf All over Stick in Light Beige x3

(I've already tried these, and love love love them)

Have yet to try the All Over Stick in a blush colour,
so I'm excited to try it in Pink Lemonade


Excuse the size, But it looks like they no longer have this on
their website. I got it in the Sale section which has also disappeared,
wahhh, anyways I use the Zit Zapper daily and you can never
have enough brushes!


Another $1 item I have yet to try, I got it in Wink Pink!

 

 Essential Volumizing Mascara

A new product! So I actually look forward to this, I rely on

mascara daily! They on;y have black but that was okay with me!

Another item I  have previously used and enjoyed, I think
I ran out, but I honestly probably have three other ones somewhere
unopened now that I think about it.....Woops!



I have tried other colours in the Essential Super Glossy Lip Shine,
but they are all the brighter colour, I wanted to try something a bit more natural



I'm sure I will use this every other day as I have cuticles that just
arghfrumparg they get so dry all the time and then I get hang nails then I
rip off my nal with my teeth.....we all know how that ends....Another thing I have
yet to try!



Ahhh, I love nail Polish, I just suck at doing my nails.
I have'nt tried this colour, but I look forward to it! Its
Flirty Fushia by the way!
 I also got Minty Cream! I saw someone with their nails
painted with this colour and had to get it!
Plus Mint Greens and Pastels are in this Season!



This is a New Product, its the Essential Blush with Brush.
I got it in Innocence and just liked how settle the colour is.





Another item I've become ubsessed with and use more than
my foundation. I bought like 7 of these.....I have used one
tube since my first purchase and just ran out.....So I should be set for a while!
I get them in Ivory.



Ahh yes the Studio Complete Coverage Concealer,
This was $3.00, and I've yet to try it but, thought why not
( I think it was one of those items that you just throw in the basket just cause...)



Essential Lip Stain
A new product as well, I look forward to see if
this is worth the whopping $2, I'm to cheap to try
the drug store brands so I really look forward to this one!
Oh, the colour is Nude Nectar





I must of have wanted Lemonade or something when
I made my order, this is also called Pink Lemonade!
It is the Essential Luscious Liquid Lipstick
I've tried this in other colours and loved it but I broke
the twist and turn thing so.......haha
I also got it in Ruby Slipper




New Product! Essential Bronzer with Blush
I got this in Sunkissed, and just want to see if it compares
to the Studio Bronzing Powder in the Blush Combo
This was $2



This is most likely the product I'm most excited about because
Smokey Brown Eyes are in apparently but also its anew product!
I am that person that will wake up and be like "screw you makeup
I'm flying solo today", so this helps because it tells you where
to put it when your still half asleep getting ready! I just hope
the wording doesn't fade after usage
(Oh its called the Essential Flawless Eye shadow)

Well that was everything that I purchased and hopefully get it soon...also I will be reeving the "Mystery Bag"which I have never received but I like the excitement it holds! If anyone  ordered with the mystery bag let me know what you get in yours! 

Well for now Good Night fellow bloggers,

and may you all dream of lip stains and eye shadow quads!

Drug Store Extravaganza

Do you ever walk into a store and go there for something like...stamps or milk then find insane deals and find yourself spending over 40 minutes at the store and buying more than just the milk or stamps???


This is exactly what happened to me today! I went to go get some stamps for a letter and a birthday card I had to send out at Shoppers Drug Mart, and got side tracked.


There was a few stock-boys putting out reduced merchandise (apparently the store is closing or moving somewhere), and I saw a few things that caught my eye. So after I didn't even get stamps, i ran back home (its like 5 minute walk) then I ran back to the store with more money because they has insane deals!


So today, I'm going to share my drugstore extravaganza adventure with you!
