Paro
Experience
Daal was very foolproof and easy to make. I do think I had an expectation that this was almost an instant meal situation, which this is not. It's more of a one-step process that gets you the flavor and texture of daal without all the prep (I know I don't stock a lot of these spices!). The topping I got with it had flavors I'd never had before and added a ton of flavor (I put it on my morning ricotta toast!). I saw the instructions said to heat up the topping to release some of the flavors, and I'd be curious to see how/if that changed the flavor. Realistically though, I'm not going to saute this topping separately, especially if I continue to use it as a way to easily jazz up a quick and dirty meal.
The Pizza Cupcake
Experience
I have to admit that I was basically expecting a Bagel Bite type situation, and was fortunately proven very wrong! The crust on these cupcakes is really the standout here. So flaky and light, not bready or cardboardy like you would get with a lot of other frozen pizza things. It's more similar to a pasty than a crust, which makes it take really decadent. I do think they're expensive for what they are, but definitely a fun novelty by yourself (me), or a knockout party addition (if these were brought out for drunchies I would lose my mind).
Dieux Skin
Experience
I love these eye patches! I like that they recognize that eye creams are generally a scam but still let you target the under eye area with products you already have. The patches stay on easily, are easy to clean, and are fun to use and easy to have on while you get ready. Love the founder and her approach to skincare and beauty as well.
Visitor
Experience
I'm recently obsessed with NA beers and was really excited to try Visitor! Lagers are not my favorite type of beer, but I thought Visitor did a good version that still had some flavor (which I find isn't always the case with NA beers). Very drinkable with very simple but cute packaging! I'd never seen the six pack holder that it came in, but it seemed like a nice sustainable swap. Will hope to see these in stores so I can pick up some more!
Scent Lab
Experience
Really unique experience using the scent quiz! I was a little nervous because the initial description wasn't exactly what I thought I would like, but I trusted them and was glad I did! Love the scent and vessel, it's actually burning as I type this!
ASYSTEM
Experience
Love the branding and packaging, and the taste of the focus gummies! It's a bit hard to really tell if and how they work. May be placebo effect but I do feel alert on the days I take them, and the ritual of taking them also is a way of saying to myself that I want to be focused for the day!
Futurewise
Experience
I got this as a Thingdrop and was expecting overpriced Vaseline (which I was previously using for my slugging needs). I was pleasantly surprised! The slug balm has a more luxurious feel than other balms and occlusives I've used before. Does Vaseline do the job? Yes. Is this a fun way to upgrade your shelfie and experience? Heck yes.
Motif
Experience
Nice cleanser overall! Gently exfoliating and a nice ritual of leaving it on for a bit as a mini-mask (I do so in the shower). I do view it more of a treatment than an every day cleanser, as I feel some residue on my face after I wash it off and it didn't feel like it took my sunscreen off . Will definitely continue to use as part of a double cleanse!
doublesoul
Experience
I love the way these socks fit! Have a great hugging and supportive feel, they stay up, and i love the heights and colors. I do have some concerns about the quality, as I noticed some wear around the toes and some loosened threads after just a couple wears and washes. I still reach for them first in my sock drawer, but will see how they hold up before I repurchase.
Bitchin' Sauce
Experience
I literally cannot get enough of this stuff. I am so glad you all started selling the big tubs of Bitchin' sauce. Have yet to find something it's not delicious on. I'm loyal to the original, but enjoy trying all the other flavors. Thank you for being you.
