TexTale
Experience
To say the packaging was "excessive" would be an understatement. But after waiting such a long time (the shipping time was also excessive) I was excited to unbox the two shirts I ordered. They were sent in separate packaging (why? seems like such a waste!) and when finally opening all the layers to get to the shirts I found the tees to be nice looking. The material is very thick so they don't hang off the body like an off-the-rack tee. The stain blocking is impressive, though.

The packaging is gorgeous! The box is a delight to open and the design of the tablet packaging is fun and colorful. I wish the actual product was as exciting as the packaging. My family tried 3 different flavors and we played around with the amount of water used each time to see if we could get a taste we liked. Sadly, we couldn't find the right balance and didn't love any of the flavors. Ice definitely makes the drink better but overall the flavor is just "okay."

Experience
I got the spray Classic SPF 30. The scent is great and the feel of the product is nice and light (not greasy).
Feedback
For the price, I would expect a higher quality spray bottle. The top feels really cheap and doesn’t work consistently so you have to fiddle with it quite a bit to get it to spray each time.
Home Dough
Experience
The cookies themselves are pretty good and the product was delivered more quickly than anticipated. When baking, the molasses cookie spreads out very thin while the chocolate chip and oatmeal flavors stay round and more thick. The instructions say to roll the dough in sugar for an extra crunch...but I did that for half of the cookies we tried and didn't notice a positive difference. I love the idea of ready-to-make frozen dough and the taste is satisfying. But there is so much excessive (and difficult to open) packaging that I couldn't give a higher total rating.
Feedback
I ordered a variety pack that included 3 packages of cookie dough (one in each flavor). They arrived in a large box. Inside that box was insulation and dry ice surrounding a medium sized box. I've received shipments on dry ice before and there's always a warning...but with this brand there's no warning in the box at all to know you shouldn't grab the bag of ice with your bare hands. Once the boxes are opened you see the cute packaging of the actual product. The packages have to be cut to be open, and then they don't reseal. So if you don't make all 8 cookies from one flavor you have an open package to figure out how to seal and put in your freezer for later. Overall, the difficulty and excessive nature of the packaging lets the product experience down.
Opopop
Experience
Easy to make with a great variety of flavors.
Feedback
This popcorn is definitely on the pricey side, but they offer unique flavors. I've tried 6 of the flavors and there's only one I didn't care for (Fancy Butter). The Gingerbread and Maui Heat flavors are my favorites.

Impressingly indestructible. The socks are great too!
Feedback
They're not as smooth or soft as other luxury tights but they definitely don't snag and have held up extremely well over time.
Rob's Backstage Popcorn
Experience
The ingredients in this popcorn include sugar, onion and garlic powder, red bell pepper and carrot among other things. I wasn't sure what to expect but it tastes sort of like popcorn sprinkled with a mix of sugar and a vegetable Ramen noodle seasoning packet.
Function of Beauty
Experience
The products were fun to personalize and smell amazing. Overall, though, I don't feel any difference in my hair so I'd say the product is similar to any off-the-shelf shampoo.
Feedback
I love the idea of personalizing what the bottle says but it has to say "Function of" before whatever word you choose. I wish they'd just let you write whatever you want and leave their wording off (because their brand is elsewhere on the package).
Stitchfix
Experience
I used Stitchfix for two of my kids (both for a boy and a girl). For the boy (10 years old) everything chosen by the stylist was cute, comfortable and appropriate price-wise. For the girl (11 years old), the same clothes were sent three times in a row. The color of the shirt or leggings were different, but the style was exactly the same and the fabric was the same. The girls items were low quality (not well made) and not worth the money.

Yum! What else is there to say? It's a great product.
