Thank you Butterly and Aveeno for allowing me to try this body wash. I love the Aveeno family of products and this one is no different. It has a light lavender scent, which is very nice and I’m not even normally a fan of lavender. I was pleasantly surprised it really did have a relaxing, calming effect when using it. I really liked the pump-style bottle as you don’t have to fuss with it and 1-2 pumps is all you need. It lathers up nicely and left my body feeling soft and refreshed. It is soap free and dye free and as I have sensitive skin sometimes, it works really well with no irritations. I will continue to use this and absolutely recommend this to anyone who uses body wash. -

Thank you Butterly and Dap for letting me try out this product. It’s a great all weather sealant to have, which is a good asset, because once you’re done, you don’t have to worry about the weather destroying it. My husband and I are are very novice when it comes to DIY and this sealant made it easy to do one of our windows and our door. If you follow the instructions, which are extremely easy, and make sure you have a caulking gun, you’re set. It’s ready in 30 mins, there wasn’t any strong odor and it stays flexible. This is a good find for those who want an easy sealant fix and want to do it themselves.

While I was personally underwhelmed by this product, there are still some good characteristics. First, they come with 36, so you don’t have to worry about running out quickly. They aren’t too big, and are pretty clear when starting so they aren’t overly noticeable and they do stay on well. If you can keep it on and not touch it, then this product will be helpful in that way. Not touching it will allow the pimple to be able to start healing as you’re not introducing any extra bacteria by touching it or trying to pop it. So, in that way, it does work. My own biggest con— it didn’t do anything else. I used them at night and when I would get up to take it off, there was no difference to the size or redness of my blemish. I followed the instructions, I used them correctly, I had my partner try them as well, but for both of us, they did not have any effect, other than not bothering it, which for myself, I can do that without a patch. So, while there are some positives, this is not a product I would be buying again, unfortunately.

Thank you Butterly and Paderno for letting me try out this reusable silicone sandwich bag. I have nothing but positives for this review, with the exception of saying Paderno is doing themselves a bit of a disservice by calling this just a “sandwich bag”. I do believe it should be called a reusable silicone multi-use (food grade) bag, because that’s exactly what it is. It is oven safe, you can put it in your dishwasher, it is microwave safe and freezer safe. It has been perfect for all of my food leftovers, from pretzels, to a brownie and of course, sandwiches! I would buy another one of these bags and I absolutely recommend this product as it’s easy to use, easy to wash and easy to store away. -

I am so grateful I got to be a part of this Lancôme anti-aging skin care trial. It is amazing on my skin. The first time I used it, I noticed a difference. It looked brighter, with a subtle glow. I actually use it under my makeup, in addition to using it on its own, because I always get that extra brightness and shine. It is a triple serum, using Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C + Niacinamide and Ferulic Acid and it all comes out separately from the pump, to ensure you get all three. Using it over time, I noticed my skin looked a bit more even, it felt soft, it absorbs into the skin nicely and it has a pleasant smell. It is also gentle on the skin, as I have sensitive skin and I found it didn’t have any significant, negative impact. I really like the look of my skin after using it for a couple of weeks and I would definitely recommend this product for both those who currently use serums or those wanting to try it and not sure where to start. -

I got selected to try this product and though I know Aveeno and use their products, I had not heard of this one, so I was looking forward to trying it. Overall, I would recommend this. I get a dry, flaky forehead, so it really helped on that area; it was soothing and didn’t feel sticky or leave any residue, but I also moved away from my face. I have mild psoriasis on my elbows and knees and I found it really helped when my skin was feeling extra dry. I also had a minor bug bite irritation on my foot and it soothed it instantly. I feel like this worked all around wherever I needed my skin to feel a little less irritated. It is completely scent free and does work on sensitive skin, as I have. A definite future purchase and recommendation to everyone. -

Though I use Aveeno products, I had not heard of this one and was happy to be able to try it for free. I will say my one small con first, then move to the rest. It says for sensitive skin and I did find I broke out at the first few uses, but only very slightly and not enough to quit using it. Other than that, I would recommend this product. Some products say unscented and still have a slightly weird scent to them, but this one pleasantly surprised me and was completely unscented. Another happy surprise was the exfoliating part; when I put some in my hand, it has almost a light, milky texture so I thought surely this wouldn’t have exfoliating properties, but I was wrong! My face felt great- brighter, softer and smoother. I have now incorporated this into my daily routine and I will keep using this product, buy it again in the future and certainly say it’s worth the try to those who like a nice cleanse and exfoliation. -

I was lucky to try this for free, though I’ll say I was leery at first because as a headache sufferer, I wondered how much better than regular Tylenol or similar products it was going to be, but I was pleasantly surprised. I will say if you have any sensitivity to caffeine, I would not recommend this product as that is the other ingredient besides acetaminophen. Otherwise, it worked great. I took one, not expecting much, but as I said, I was surprised, happy and relieved that within less than 15-20 minutes my headache was subsiding and I was feeling better. They are EZ tabs as well, meaning they are very easy to swallow. I myself store a few into a small bottle or container and leave them in my purse or my desk for easy access whenever I need one. I would certainly recommend this product for people who struggle with their headaches and I would buy this again in the future. -

I received this product free and as I get stubborn hair and would love to be able to use a razor less, I was excited to try this. Simply put, starting with what this product did do. It did make my skin feel slightly softer. What it didn’t do? Anything else. I tried it the first time on the lower end of the wait time(5 mins) and absolutely nothing. The next time I tried it, I waited a little longer but didn’t exceed the 10 mins it says and I had the same results; nothing. The two other slight positives I could say is I have sensitive skin and it didn’t seem to cause redness, burning, irritation. It is also easy to use with a little gliding ball and no mess. This product is not for me and I would not recommend it. And yes, it still smells like Nair. -

I gave this product 4 stars because it did taste good and it made a decent iced coffee, whether I brewed it directly over the ice or let it sit and added my own ice. The flavor never got watered down and could rival an iced beverage purchased from a coffee shop. So, it was definitely good and I would recommend it, however, the reason it didn’t get a full 5 is I have had other at home coffee products that I have made before, not brand specific, and they yielded very similar results in that they made a good quality cold (or hot) coffee. So, up against different brands or flavors, whether it’s meant to start out as cold brew or you turn it into an iced coffee yourself, I didn’t find a ton of difference. Having said that, looping back to my original statement in this product and only this product, yes, it made a good over ice cold brew coffee and you wouldn’t be disappointed. I would certainly purchase this product again. -
