★ Scent? Light 

★ Feel on Skin? Lightweight. It goes on smoothly.

★ Skin Type? All skin types

Verdict:

This is my first BB Cream ever! I was very excited to try L'Oréal's Magic BB Cream, because it said that it self-adjusts to your skin tone. Cool right? Well...I wore it a few times and did not like it. This BB cream made my face an ashy gray color. It didn't perfect any flaws or correct my skin tone. It did however make my skin texture smooth, felt hydrating, and it didn't break me out.

Torani Syrup Review

Hello everyone!! This is another sponsored review for SheSpeaks and Torani. I was sent two 25.4 oz bottles of syrup and five$1 off coupons. This time, I received Peppermint and Salted Caramel. I am very pleased with these flavors. I recently ran out of my Torani Vanilla flavored syrup, so these came just in time!

Torani Peppermint Syrup

With the cool taste and refreshing fragrance of freshly-picked mint, this flavor is an invigorating addition to any beverage. Just add 1 oz. of this classic to mochas, hot chocolate, and blended drinks. 

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Sugar Cookies with Peppermint Flavored Icing 

My sister made homemade sugar cookies and icing. She added Torani Peppermint Syrup to the icing, and she topped the cookies with peppermints.

Torani Salted Caramel Syrup

The richness of buttery caramel is brought to new heights with a pinch of salt in this delectable syrup made especially for iced coffee drinks. Add 1 oz. to brewed or iced coffees, espresso, steamed milk,and more.

Torani Flavored Syrup Review

Hello! Today I'm doing a review on Torani Flavored Syrups. I received 2 flavors, Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie & Classic Hazelnut, from SheSpeaks.com.

Torani Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie Syrup

Pumkin Pie flavored waffles

I'm not fond of the Torani Sugar Free Pumkin Pie Syrup nor am I fond of the aftertaste that Splenda has. I had a big breakfast with my family on November 5th. 16 people were there including myself! I brought both the pumkin pie syrup and the hazelnut syrup for them to try out. The pumkin pie syrup was only touched by me. I then decided to try out recipes using this syrup. The one recipe that I really enjoyed was pumpkin pie flavored waffles. You just mix the pancake batter like you normally would and add in some Torani Pumpkin Pie Syrup. This syrup really does taste like pumpkin pie, but I think that I would have enjoyed this flavor if it was the regular version.

Torani Classic Hazelnut Syrup

Hazelnut Hot Chocolate

My family and I really enjoyed the Torani Classic Hazelnut Syrup. It has just the right amount of hazelnut flavor as well as the right amount of sugar. The bottle is half way gone! I've used this syrup in coffee, teas, steamers, and hot chocolate. For the recipe above I just followed the instructions on the hot chocolate packet and poured in the Torani Hazelnut Syrup. I topped it off with whipped cream and chocolate truffle shavings. I recommend the Torani Hazelnut Syrup over their Sugar Free Pumpkin Pie Syrup.
