Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters Review

Hello!  This is my review for Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters in Berry Medley Flavors.

What is with the long names for food & drink products?  hahaha

Anyways, I will start off by saying that I am not a fan of dark chocolate.  It always tastes so bitter to me but I loved these.  LOVED!!!  I could totally polish off the whole bag.  It's only 5 oz so that's not too bad, right?  Right?  Thankfully though, I had my Mom and brother around to share with.  I have some leftover.  I might share the rest with my Dad.  Maybe.  lol


They are seriously that good.  The description on the package reads "Clusters of crispy multigrains and soft fruit flavored centers, all covered in smooth dark chocolate".  What is not to love about that description?  It is right on.  You can definitely tell it's dark chocolate but somehow it doesn't have that bitter taste.  Maybe because it's done right?  Not sure but I will definitely be buying these in the future.

I received this bag from Crowdtap for review purposes.  Reviews are 100% my own.  One of my challenges, if you will, was to pair these with another snack or drink.  I decided to go with a glass of Chardonnay since this chocolate seemed more grown up.  Very nice pairing if I might add.  The lightness of the wine balanced out the darkness of the chocolate.


Another user added hers to vanilla ice cream which looked amazing.  I would definitely do that.

If you are a fan of dark chocolate, you have to try these.  If you are not a fan of dark chocolate, you still have to try these.  You will NOT be disappointed.  My only complaint is that the bag is too small but maybe that's a good thing.  hahaha

Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Green Tea Review

Hello!  This is my review for Celestial Seasonings Candy Cane Lane Green Tea Decaffeinated.

That is one long title for a tea.  lol

Anyways, this tea is different.  Not in a bad way though.  The best way to describe it is you know that sensation you get when you have a cough drop, mint or candy cane in your mouth and then you drink something cold?  That's exactly what this tea is like except for it's hot. I guess it's the mint of the candy cane doing it.  It just fills your mouth with minty freshness.


I didn't care for it at first but after a few sips, I really liked it.  It grows on you.  I like it so much, I wish they sold it year round.  It's one of Celestial Seasonings Holiday Teas so get it while you can.  I know I will.  Hahaha

Rimmel London Review

Hello!  This is my review of  Rimmel London Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal eyeliner in black and Rimmel London Gentle Eye Make Up Remover.

My experience with the eyeliner did not start out too good.  I had a hard time getting the cap off and when I finally did, this happened.


Yeah...not good.  After I cleaned my hand off, I managed to find a sharpener and sharpened the pencil.  Unfortunately, I never seem to get as good of a point as I start with but it wasn't too bad.  I was able to use it and that's good enough.

I love the way it glides.  It's like skating on ice.  So smooth, it doesn't tug on your skin at all.  I really wished the cap came off easier.  Be careful.  The black is really black.  Very intense.  Perfect for a smoky eye look.  As far as pencil eyeliners go, this one is the best.  You won't be disappointed.

The eye make up remover was so-so.  It definitely removed my mascara and eye shadow perfectly but the eyeliner was a different story.  It just seemed to smear it.   No matter how hard I rubbed, this eyeliner was NOT being removed by this eye make up remover alone.  I looked like a panda and my eyes were red from rubbing.  The eyeliner didn't fully come off all the way until I washed my face with Noxzema.


I would use the eye make up remover for basic mascara and eye shadow but not eyeliner.  Not worth it.
