DRIZZILICIOUS PUMPKIN SPICE RICE CAKES REVIEW


Fall pumpkin reviews are back!! Every fall I love trying the new pumpkin flavored snackies out in stores. The Drizzilicious mini rice cakes are one of my favorite healthier snacks so a limited-edition Pumpkin Spice flavor was an immediate yes. I say this every year but pumpkin spice as a flavor is almost always a hit or miss for me. Usually I either love something or I hate it- the spice has to be just right. I like just a hint of spice but if it's giving too much nutmeg, it's a no go. I also tend to go for a sweeter pumpkin vibe- I bring enough of my own spice so we can't being doing too much! 😜

Alright, let's talk rice cakes. These passed the test, ya'll- they are good. They're exactly what I want and mentally expected they should taste like. The pumpkin flavor is definitely subtle and that spice flavor comes through, however it's more of a cinnamony vibe with just a hint of of those other pumpkin pie spices peeking through. Warm without being too spicy. The flavor is very reminiscent of Cinnamon Toast Crunch for me. When I first tried them- my mind immediately went there. The funny thing though is that they're different than the regular Drizzilicious Cinnamon Swirl flavor and I also don't get that vibe from them?? This sounds a little goofy but I always pick up more of a ricey aftertaste with those- it almost reminds me of almond. I don't get that with these- just that subtle hint of spice which is perfect with the drizzle on top. That brings in the sweet factor which is perfect. Definitely ranking these higher than the Cinnamon Swirl and I'd repurchase again too! 

I also always throw out props for fun fall packaging- so cute and festive!! Half the fun is in the vibes, ya'll!!

I think you should be able to find the pumpkin spice flavor in most big box stores by now but if you have a hard time finding them and want to pay a little extra, you can order them online here! If you try them, let me know what you think!

What are your favorite pumpkin spice flavored foods?

Happy Friyay, ya'll. Today we're back with Week 2 sales picks from Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty Sale event. If you aren't up to speed, we're entering day eight of a three-week long sale with over 250 "beauty steals." There are tons of makeup products, skincare, haircare, fragrance + more on sale here for 50% off of regular retail. For the full nitty gritty on the sale, check out my "Ulta 21 Days of Beauty: Week 1 Picks" post from last week. I'll link it here for you! 

I ended up buying over half of my picks from week 1, lol. I don't know whether I SHOULD be celebrating that or feeling buyer's remorse but NO RAGRETS here. Nothing haunts us like the things we don't buy!! Now it's time for round two... here are my top picks! There are some good holy-grails in this week's mix. I think I've tried every single thing on this list except the OUAI cream, Bobbi Brown foundation and Tan-Luxe drops. They're all great products which is why I included them. I'm also pretty certain I've even re-purchased multiples of every single one over the last 10-15 years? Definitely foolproof products I'd recommend any day of the week- at these prices, it's a no brainer. I plan to stock up on what I need and maybe grab some new shades in something like the NUDESTIX or MAC lippies!!
