I recieved this @ghostoftushima action figure by @playstationca and @spinmaster through @thisisbutterly to review and my goodness this toy was intricate!
I only recently started playing the game so to get an action figure of the titular character was super cool!
The toy is incredibly detailed, from the armor, to the bruise on his cheek, to the mask, the katanas and more. And the cape is soft! Most plastic capes are hard and don't flow well but this is nice!
I struggled to put the mask on his face so I just had him hold it in one hand and the katana in the other.
I also thoroughly enjoy how there's so many bending points in the toy! Knees, ankles, elbows, wrists, hips, waist, neck etc ALL can bent and some can even rotate giving you such a wide range of posing. The toy boasts of 32 points of articulation which is quite impressive.
It's such an awesome figure and it's going on my shelf along with my other figures!

I received this product through Butterly and used it on my toddler every day for two weeks.
The formula is very wet and kind of thin, making it very easy to apply and spread. But I found that it felt almost sticky after, and because of how wet it was, it didn't feel like it did much in regards to building a barrier for hydration. The skin felt kind of hydrated after, but I couldn't get past the sticky feeling. Scent wise this was very sour, I'm sure it has to do with its natural properties, but I did not enjoy the smell, it reminded me of stinky wet socks and I had a really hard time with it.
After applying, it takes quite some time to dry down and if I continuously try to rub the product in, I found that it pilled a lot which left the skin looking odd.
Unfortunately this was not for us.

I received this through Butterly and used it a few times over the course of 2 weeks.
It's a very convenient product because each dose is in a small little pack, so you can put it in your pocket to take out with you too. I enjoy it especially because each single dose is measured out for you.
The consistency of the product is a bit thick, like thick water or slightly watered down syrup. The scent is unpleasant for me, it smells kind of like a muted paint thinner that's mixed with sugar. Taste wise it's just as bad in my opinion. Because this has to be taken after a meal, I find it kind of ruins the whole meal's taste.
Effectiveness wise, it did help with any impending heartburn that comes with foods I usually react to. But the memory of how bad the taste is makes me not want to take it.
I don't recommend this, and wish it was flavorless or had a better refreshing flavor.

I've been trying this TheraBreath Fresh Breath mouthwash in the Icy Mint Flavor (courtesy of Butterly) for the past couple of weeks. I was skeptical beforehand because I don't know many mouthwash brands and this one was new to me. The bottle is eye catching, effective, and easy to spot in my bathroom especially because I have a ton of things on my counters (between myself and the children).
The instructions are straight forward, but I used less than the recommended amount as I found that was too much in volume for me. The Icy Mint flavor is refreshing, made my mouth and breath feel super minty, but not to the point where it was burning. This does advertise for an all day freshness, but I didn't notice it, however I can say that my breath didn't go bad throughout the day, so maybe this did do it's job?
I did really like this mouthwash, in comparison to the other brands I've used in the past. I would totally recommend!

I received this caulking through Butterly and used it for some baseboard caulking that needed to be done. It was super easy to use and the end result was beautiful. I enjoyed that the product wasn't sticky, it glided on and was able to be smoothed out like a dream. Definitely recommend even for beginners.

I received this coffee through Butterly and tried it a few times in our espresso machine.
Upon opening the bag, I was pleasantly greeted by a warm, rich, banana scent. I found myself opening the bag here and there to smell the coffee beans, it was so lovely! I did sense a bit of ocean air as advertised, so I found that super unique.
I noticed that the beans are lighter in color compared to other beans I normally get, I don't know if that means anything or makes a difference in the coffee.
After making myself a cup of espresso with the beans, I did enjoy the scent of it. It was fruity, rich, chocolatey and banana like.
However I wasn't a big fan of the taste by itself. I found it acidic, and kind of sour, but can still sense the light banana sweetness with that salty air. I generally like to add cream and sweeteners to my coffee, and once I did that I found it was more to my taste.

I received this baby balm and wash and have been using it on my baby for a couple of weeks now. He's got drier skin with several patches of stubborn eczema. We have used many balms, lotions, soaps, etc, and it's always been a struggle. I will say after using this wash on him (he gets daily baths but we use soap maybe twice a week) and in combination with the balm, I have noticed his eczema has gotten better. Not totally healed but I think this is a great daily to help calm them and keep the rest of his skin nourished and protected. It has a very light oat scent to it, it doesn't suds up lots so I tend to apply a generous amount of this to get the kids really soapy and sudsy. It leaves their skin feeling soft and clean without stripping too much of their natural oils. I really like the Aveeno lines especially for kids, it's the brand I constantly go back to. -

I received this through Butterly and tried using it with my 22 month old for about a week, but unfortunately he disliked the flavor, even if I tried to mix it into other foods for him. I think it may have been too tart for his liking and he is sensitive to new tastes. The cherry flavour did smell nice to me though, and the amber coloring makes me feel that there's no artificial coloring.
The packaging is simple, easy, and I do enjoy the child-proof dropper top. I will say the original cap did not seal well, even though it was supposed to be child-proof. If I twisted it the opposite way or pulled up even a little bit, the top would come right off. This did not happen with the dropper top though.
Otherwise I thought this was a clever way to help kids get extra vitamins in their diet, especially if they're picky with foods, just mine happened to be extra picky.

I got these through Butterly and tried them everyday for a couple weeks over some bad pimples.
They were super easy to apply, especially with that little extra tab. Normally when I peel off a patch from the sheet, I crinkle up an edge or fold it over completely, then contaminate the underside because my finger has touched it. But this little tab is genius, makes it so easy to apply.
It's a pretty affective patch, I find that there's so much gunk pulled from my pimple by the morning and has really helped speed up the healing process.
The only downside is if your pimple is on a spot where there's lots of movement (i.e. around the mouth) or if you're naturally oily, the patch doesn't adhere as well over time and can lift off. And it's practically impossible to readhere, you'd need to apply a new one.
Otherwise, this was really nice! I love that there's two different sizes too.
