Silk Vanilla Almondmilk #tasteslikebetter

Hello Cuppy Cakes! 

Thanks to Crowdtap I am able to review Silk Almondmilk in the flavor vanilla for free for review. So lets get started!

I often pass by Silk when I am grocery shopping having no particular interest up until now. It is not the first time trying almond milk, but the last time was approximately ages ago and vaguely remember liking it.

I decided on the flavor vanilla because it's one of my top flavors and I had high hopes it would be a good pairing with an almond taste. I will say it's not what I remember or expected this almondmilk to taste like. To be honest I was kind of turned off with the flavor and smell. The smell of the milk is intense and the taste is very sweet and almost too nutty. I love almonds, but this packs a punch of almond flavor into your taste buds.

However, I decided since I have a whole half gallon that I don't want to go to waste I would try it in different ways. First I made chocolate milk with a powdered chocolate mixture and it was okay, but definitely not to my liking. My boyfriend on the other hand didn't mind the milk on it's own or in chocolate milk. 

Next I tried it in my coffee as a creamer and found that this was the best use for me. It gives my coffee a little extra nutty flavor that is exactly what I love about creamers. 

I also made cereal and just tried it in Cocoa Pebbles (one of my favs) and that was a no-go. 

I lastly have made it into smoothies and found that this was a great way to add almond flavor and healthy substitute to milk. I will say after about week and half of drinking/eating this I am getting used to the taste and it doesn't seem so foreign.

I do find that there are so much added bonus to drinking this rather than normal cow milk because there is no cholesterol, saturated fat, artificial colors or flavors added making it a healthier option. I am still curious if the Original flavor tastes any better so I might be stopping by my local grocery store to try it out.

Overall my opinion changed from yuck to yum over the course of trying it out and getting used to the taste. It's not my initial expectation of the product, but I am willing to try out other products to find the right fit or in this case the right taste.

Suave Professionals Honey Infusion Shampoo, Conditioner & Leave-In Conditioner

Salut Cuppies, 

I was fortunate enough to try for free from Crowdtap and Suave several products from a Honey Infusion line that includes a shampoo, conditioner and a 10 in 1 leave-in conditioner. 

Honey Infusion Shampoo & Conditioner

I am extremely excited to try Suave Professionals New Honey Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner. The pair are made to strengthen normal to weak hair, and I truly put them to the test. Since I've dyed my hair numerous times, I definitely need a duo that will help my split ends and repair my hair. 

The packaging is a nice golden honey color to represent the ingredients and looks indulgent for your hair. I am loving the new trend of honey infused products, and I have high hopes these will provide the optimal nutrients for my damaged hair. Both bottles are fairly skinny at a 12.6 fluid ounce each, but I would love to see in a larger bottle because I have over 22 inches of hair.

 The shampoo has a nice consistency with a decadent honey aroma, but I felt it could lather better. That's not to say it didn’t clean my hair, but it felt as if I need to add more shampoo to get a good lather going. On the other hand, I absolutely loved the conditioner and felt it was perfect for hydrating my hair. I could still feel the softness in my hair after rinsing out, and it did not leave it heavy and greasy. I do however  wish the bottle sizes were larger, because I use twice as much in conditioner as I do shampoo.

 After showering, then drying with heat or air, my hair felt softer and more nourished. I notice my hair smells great while still wet and after drying has just a hint of honey scent. The results were great enough for me to keep using the full sized samples I received and I am inclined to purchase more in the future. I am especially intrigued by the vitamin infusion line as well. I also noticed after a week of use my hair felt stronger, but not  after just one use as claimed. This is definitely a duo you want to stick with for a while to build strength and nourishment.

Honey Infusion 10 in 1 Leave-In Conditioner

Since I have over 22 inches of over-processed, fine hair that loves to tangle into a million knots after showering, this leave in conditioner provides the nourishment and strength my hair needs.

What’s great about the packaging of this particular leave in conditioner is how much product you get! The bottle is 10.2 fluid ounces, which is more than enough for it to last a long time. I really like that you get more for your money and having such long hair I always use a little extra to cover all my strands.

The texture is nice and creamy and a little goes a long way when working into damp hair. I definitely can’t go without using this now, since it helps with detangling my hair and keeping it silky soft throughout the day. The fragrance of decadent honey is more potent when you are applying but fades nicely into a soft scent after your hair dries. Don’t over apply because it will weigh your hair down and become greasy, but that’s the case with any leave-in conditioner, so just finding what works best for you is optimal.

Overall I love the results and this will definitely will be a staple in my household. Helps my hair feel nourished throughout the day and calms my flyaways. Also, you can apply it to dry hair by wetting your hands and applying the product. This is especially convenient at the end of the day, once my hair has become more dry and brittle. In this case you get quality and quantity all in one!
