    It's *really good* for a lower-calorie mixer, and it's *good* for a pre-made mixer overall. Friends and I found it too sweet and had to play around with mixing ratio to moderate it, but end drink was good enough that I'd try another flavor. Feel like the peak use case is throwing together big-batch drinks a couple minutes, and it's a nice perk that it's lower-cal, lower-sugar. If you want the exact cocktail flavor and don't like being able to tell you're drinking a "light" option, this may not be for you.

    The flavor I tried (Mojito) was over-sweet with the recipe provided and had a stevia aftertaste. Recipe adjustments (or ranges) or less sweetness would help.

    A little overhyped, I feel neutral on them. Got sheets/quilt from them and they were fine, but took about a year to stop being kind of stiff and scratchy. Friends have had good experiences, but I wouldn't repurchase – nothing that stood out to me vs. a cheaper option.

    IDK who hasn't heard of Birks already, but just get them. They're so comfortable and my pair has lasted 5 years at this point with regular wear, so at this point they're probably not cool but they'll still be working when they come back into style.

    Have tried a bunch of the bars and they're delicious, and the mission and branding around it is great – would love to see a lot of other brands doing this. Price point ($5 at grocery stores?) also feels pretty good vs. other high-end or ethically sourced chocolate, especially since the bars are massive.

    I flew weekly for work for a year with my Away suitcase and it's in great shape still, compact, holds a ton. Love the inner zip organizer. For business travelers or anyone on a long-haul trip, the portable charger is lowkey great too – holds a ton of battery and has a fast-charge port that charges my phone from 0 to 100% battery in an ~hour.

    Feedback

    Not a criticism of the product, but it's probably best for professional travel, maybe not a fit for budget trips. I ended up buying a large backpack/duffel for other trips with a lot of walking (wheeling a bag around gets pretty annoying) or flights with carry-on weight limits.

    IMO worth it after years of not bothering with tights after having them tear quickly. Tights are comfortable with a nice slight compression/ shaping effect, and I own a couple pairs that have held up for at least a year. If I was getting one, I'd get the extra-sheer tights, which have been super versatile – light enough to wear outside winter, professional for work but cute enough for dates/going out.

    Feedback

    They're not *indestructible*, but good customer service made up for it for me. My first pair was a gift so I couldn't order a replacement, but CS replied within 1-2 days and gave me a solid discount to replace them.

    Congrats to Bombas for making me actually opinionated about a sock brand. Took me a while to go for it because of the price point, but they really are insanely comfortable and last for ages even with daily wear. Love the mission as well.

    Review is for the original patches. Cute packaging and I like the concept for their mission, but I didn't think these worked as well as other patches I've used (looking at you, Hero Cosmetics). Felt equivalent to okay drugstore brands - they probably helped but I've seen others that were notably better. Haven't repurchased.

    Feedback

    Product performance (or design?) Hard to tell if it's 'worked' because you can't really see a before/after difference in the patch.

    Favorite sparkling water, 1000x better than others without fresh ingredients.

    Their acne patches are the best I've used, especially the Invisible ones. Great value for one of the only skincare products I've found that will actually make acne look better within 24 hours. Feels better for my skin to cover acne with these vs makeup, and keeps me from picking at it.

    Feedback

    I've never found their pre-acne product effective - felt like it did nothing or irritated my skin.
