Pillsbury 13x9 Family Size Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix

Rating: 💗💗💗

When I Bake a cake from a box, Pillsbury is at the bottom of my list because although it is cheaper than the Duncan Hinez and Betty Crocker batch, it's also lower quality. The cake is usually tough and dry and the taste can't be compared. When I bought this box of brownie mix I figured I'd get
exactly what I paid for just like with the cake mix, but I was honestly surprised! Yes, its not the same quality as the other brands and yes, on its own it can use some improvement, but it's nothing that a little topping can't make up for and after all, at around a buck a box you really can't ask for much.

The sweetness is just right, not too much and not too little, it's not as rich as others, but it's rich enough to satisfy and the texture is a little less chewy than desired, It's more like an in-between cake and brownie, but if you do as I did and add some walnuts, chocolate pieces, a little fudge and a little enthusiasm, you should be fine. I also let it cook about 10 minutes more than the box required because it was not entirely ready and because the edges are so good when they get crispy. This last part depends entirely on your oven and how it works though.

This is basically an ok brownie mix, better if you're creative and want to spruce it up with some extras or have kids that would love to try their own creations. For the price it's not bad at all. However, if you want to impress don't be cheap, get yourself the better brand or make your own. This is not a mix to be serving at your dinner party, it's more for a family treat or for the kids.

Picture is my own creation, The Pillsbury 13x9 Family Size Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix, chopped walnuts (inside the brownie as well as on top), Fudge and Ghirardelli dark chocolate and white chocolate pieces, crumbled and spread on top.

NYX Plump It Up Lip Plumper in Kim

Rating 💗💗💗💗 I am a big fan of NYX. The brand has good, high quality products at affordable prices which is something we could all use, am I right? Their Plump It Up lip plumpers are something I had never tried though and I recently got the chance to buy these babies and take them for a test drive. I gotta say, I really like them! They are not high pigmented, it's more of a sheer color when you put them on, it barely has color, they sting as all lip plumpers fo and I read a review or two of people saying that they threw them out because they burned so badly... I'm not sure of they are just sensitive to the sensation and can't take it or if they had a reaction, but I assure you, it doesn't tingle or sting more than any other plumper out there. It also has normal results on the plumping, you get a little plumpness, nothing like getting fillers so, do not expect Angelina Jolie lips, but they give you a nice pout and it lasts a decent amount of time before y...

Kerastase Aura Botanica Hair Care Set.

Rating 💗💗💗💗💗 I am in LOVE with these hair care products that I recieved complementary to try. The set is valued at $110.00 and it's worth every shiny penny. Let me tell you about them. Aura Botanica Shampoo: The shampoo has a light fragrance that to me smells like sandalwood. The shampoo looks like a light syrup and has a very luxurious feel when you use it. I have to say, using it made me feel very pampered and left my hair super hydrated. Price $33.00 per 250 ml. Aura Botanica Conditioner: This one didn't smell like anything to me. It is a thick, scentless custard textured conditioner that feels as luxurious as the shampoo and really controlled my frizz. Price $40.00 for 200 ml. Aura Botanica Blow Dry Hair Milk: I have to admit, I have used this for blow drying and even when I'm just letting my hair air dry. The product works wonders. I feel like my hair is smooth and silky and definitely looks so much better when I use it. It is ...

Pixie by Petra Eyeshadow in Ornamental Orchid

Rating: 💗💗💗💗💗 This has to be the creamiest powder eyeshadow I've ever seen! I love the feel and texture and the colors are very nice. It's a good mini travel palette if you get it like this and these particular colors are very neutral and friendly to most skin colors and tones. It has good staying power and both shades blend together beautifully on the lid. The only thing I didn't like was that i had to pack a good amount of the brown on my lid to get the shade you see in the photos and video, but I really did enjoy this eyeshadow and will definitely use it again!
