    Tony's Chocolonely

    I visited the Tony's Chocolonely store in Amsterdam and enjoyed the experience, especially as they have endless tasters of every type of their chocolate (obviously this was pre-pandemic and so the free-for-all might have changed now). I have also bought their chocolate in the UK several times and although I enjoy the flavour I find the pattern of the actual chocolate bar very difficult to eat - it is uneven and so sometimes you end up with a very large piece of hard chocolate that is touch to bite into, followed by a tiny piece!

    Feedback

    A tiny bit more uniformity in size per piece.

    I have been a subscription customer with Smol for almost 3 years and receive monthly orders of their bio and non-bio laundry detergents. I have also previously been a subscriber for their dishwasher tablets and tried out their sprays. I have positive things to say about all of their products but wish they were all slightly stronger! I use 2-3 pods for a larger load of laundry as otherwise the scent disappears and some products seem to be less clean than others.

    Feedback

    The only product I wouldn't order again would be the sprays - although they are a nice idea, it doesn't feel like they have any active ingredients in to actually clean - more it is just a scented liquid to wipe surfaces with.

    Really great experience of visiting the store for an eye test and choosing glasses. Although my partner and I were offered same day collection for an extra fee, we opted for the 2-3 week delivery window as this was included in the price. Unfortunately due to shipping issues (Brexit & COVID), it took my glasses over a month to arrive and over 2 months before my partner was updated that his order had been lost. Kindly, he was offered a full refund, a voucher and a replacement pair so this made up for the delay. We've both since been very happy with our purchases.

    I have tried both the Adaptogen Blend and Mushroom Blend and loved both! Both stir into hot drinks very easily (but expect a little bit of a gritty texture towards the end), and had a noticeable impact on my energy levels throughout the day. I've since moved onto adaptogens in capsule form but would return to these if I wanted to re-introduced a powdered form into my routine.

    Feedback

    Fairly expensive for the volume but certainly not the highest end of the range I'd expect for these types of products.

    I purchased the Glossier 'You' perfume in 2020 having never smelt it before but reading good reviews online. I immediately really liked the smell on my skin but was disappointed with how quickly the scent disappeared. This meant that I had to frequently reapply and the product ran out sooner than anticipated.

    Feedback

    Wish the packaging was a little more environmentally friendly, and that the scent of the perfume lasted longer.

    Originally bought a pair of their leggings when they were first launching and offering free leggings, paying for shipping from their factory in Vietnam only. I still have that pair of leggings and although they are a little 'bobbly' now, they are still very warm and comfortable. Recently purchased one of their sports bras and first impression was that the material has really improved.

    Feedback

    Sizing is a little bit awkward without being able to try on first

    Really like the variety of products and company approach. I purchased a pair of their 'Forever Sneaker' and although I initially liked them, the price wasn't reflected in the quality of materials.

    Feedback

    Really struggled with the sizing and quality. Unfortunately their recycling scheme only operates within the US and returns from the UK are quite difficult.

    I've now worn my way through 2 pairs of the Cloudflows and had the same issues with both - the inside heel began to wear out within the first couple of months and eventually just disintegrated. After this happened to the first pair the team at On very kindly gave me credit to purchase a second pair but I had the same issues again, and I then decided to go elsewhere for replacements. Another reviewer mentioned the issue with pebbles and stones in the sole of the shoe which was incredibly annoying, but as a shoe the design itself is really attractive, just not great quality or durability for the price point.

    Feedback

    Quality, durability, hole-y!

    Now on my second pair of Vejas in 3 years as I had worn down my first pair to the extent they had holes in the soles! Very happy with their design and quality although wish they could make them a little bit more durable long-term.

    Feedback

    It would be great to see them looking at replacing all leather with fully vegan alternatives to all (not just some) of their shoes whilst remaining sustainable.

    Initially was a huge fan of everything they were offering but found their subscription model awkward - never had enough points when I needed to stock up and other times found that I felt compelled to purchase just because I had accumulated points, resulting in over consumption. Also found that many of the 'non-member' prices for their products were over inflated - there were better quality and more economically priced alternatives elsewhere.
