CLEAN RESERVE Sparkling Sugar
I’m so grateful to have received this full size product to try! #gotitfree
This perfume definitely pushes transparency in their products, and this one in particular is bringing awareness to protecting the planet by protecting its pollinators. I think this is a great thing to stand for, and it’s what makes this company great!
However, this particular scent is not my favourite. It has sweet notes, like the name “Sparkling Sugar” suggests. However, I find that the fresh and floral notes stand out more! It almost smells like a floral smelling sparkling beverage! In my opinion it would be really lovely as a room spray or laundry scent booster, but I’m not in love with it as a perfume.
Overall though, I’m definitely interested in checking out more of their products as they seem to stand for a sustainable and eco-friendly future!

Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen - 50SPF for sensitive skin
This is a great choice for sunscreen! It doesn’t have all the nasties that some other sunscreens have! Also, it’s significantly better for the environment!
In terms of efficacy however, I don’t have a true read on it yet, as our sunny weather has been pretty limited since trying it. However, the few nicer days that I was spending any amount of time outdoors I did try it on. It goes on evenly, and absorbs well. This one is unscented, which is great for anyone scent-sensitive! It felt nice on the skin, and didn’t leave me feeling overwhelmed by that SUNSCREEN feeling! I can’t wait to try this again as the weather improves! I had no complaints about it!

I received this ‘Degree® Women UltraClear Black + White 72H Pure Fresh Antiperspirant Deodorant Dry Spray’ from @Butterly, @chickadvisor & @Degree for free in exchange for my honest thoughts. So, here we go! #gotitfree
The first time I used this I was turned off from it. I sprayed it toward my armpit and a lot of it was in the air around me. I ended up tasting it. It tastes awful. I was so turned off from this, that I thought I just wouldn’t even try it again! However! At the end of the day, I noticed that I didn’t smell like sweat at all – not even a hint of it. I also had no white marks on my clothing. Bonus!
Having any sort of a sweaty smell about me is something that bothers me a lot. I am someone who does sweat a fair amount. I was shocked at how well it worked, so… in the spirit of sampling and giving this an honest go, I had to try it again, of course. ##degreedeodorant #onedegreemore #notdoneyet
Day 2: I was much more cautious with the application this time! I sprayed it in shorter bursts instead of one long spray all which tended to go all over the place. This worked a lot better, but unfortunately I still did end up inadvertently eating a significant amount of it (it lingers in the air for quite a while after, I found). Again, at the end of this day, still not a hint of any bit of sweat. I was pretty impressed.
Day 3: A complete success! I made sure to spray it while in a space that I wasn’t going to be in after ?I used it in shorter bursts like the day before instead of one long spray. Then I left that room and went elsewhere. This time I didn’t get a taste of the spray, and that whole scenario wasn’t an issue at all anymore! Again, at the end of the day I was stink-free, with no white marks on my clothing!
Overall, it took a little bit of time to get used to using this but I’m glad I kept trying it. I surprisingly really love the product, and I think I may even switch from my usual product (which I’ve been using for years!). The scent I received was ‘pure fresh’ and I think I would like to try a different scent next time, but that’s just a personal preference. I highly recommend giving this a shot.

Thank you butterly and Hello for giving me the opportunity to try Hello naturally friendly deodorant in exchange for my honest opinion.
The scent I received is called ‘Clean + Fresh’. It’s a little more of a typical “manly” scent. It’s a bit like laundry detergent, definitely clean and fresh!
I’m a naturally sweaty individual, and I usually opt for anti-perspirants over deodorants. I did find that this worked pretty well over all though! I started noticing near the end of my work day after having it on all day that I was starting to begin to feel like I was smelling sweaty. I don’t think I actually did though!
The deodorant claims to glide on easily, and I’m not so sure I agree 100% with that. It felt thick and a little slimy on application!
However, like I said earlier, I think it works well overall!
The only part of it that I really didn’t love was that it’s incredibly difficult to turn the dial at the bottom to push the stick up to use. I even used a rag to help me, but it was still really hard to turn.
Huge bonuses to this product include the fact that it doesn’t have aluminum, parabens or baking soda and it’s NOT tested on animals ♥️ the cherry on top of it all, is that the container is made from 100% recycled

#gotitfree
I was looking forward to giving my kid this toy, as he’s a big fan of paw patrol. He seen the package when it was tucked away and wanted it so bad! I opened it up with him, but to my disappointment I found myself holding a kid’s meal toy from a fast food joint! It felt so basic and cheap. Like, a step up from a kid’s meal type toy.
In terms of function, it didn’t really do much. It wasn’t exciting. The wing flapping motion was tricky to get working well, and I would have expected the toy to have pull back action. It didn’t. You just have to push it along and sometimes the wings would flap as it was pushed.
Aesthetically speaking, Skye’s eyes were terrifying. She has this weird dead-inside look on her face. The Skye did feel very sturdy and unbreakable though! The Manta Ray was a nice colour, and texture, but likely will break very easily!
I wouldn’t buy it, or really recommend it. It was nothing special. Maybe that’s what you’re looking for though?

Colgate review
I really, really, like this toothpaste! I’m pretty obsessed with having clean teeth, and fresh breath. This stuff REALLY seems to cover all of the bases. I’ve noticed that my breath is fresh for longer, and that my teeth feel cleaner for longer as well!
I know this is a bit silly, but I’m a big fan of the actual tube. I absolutely love the fact that it can stand up on the counter. It’s sturdy for a tube of toothpaste! Hahah!
The minty flavour is JUST RIGHT! My current toothpaste is too minty. It’s so strong that your mouth kind of hurts for a bit after. This is perfection! It’s minty and clean enough, as if it’s right at the brink of going too far, but never does. It seriously leaves your mouth feeling great!
I haven’t noticed a huge difference in terms of my teeth being whiter or anything yet, but I plan on making this my new go-to toothpaste, so maybe I can update you all at a later time!
Love it! I have 100% intention to buy it again!

I was chosen to sample Clarins Double Serum Firming & Smoothing Anti-Aging Concentrate thanks to @thisisbutterly, @chickadvisor and @clarinscanada!
#gotitfree
This amazing anti-aging serum claims to be useful for any skin type - and I believe it!
It’s a non-greasy serum, and it’s very hydrating! I truly sensed that my skin felt firmer, more hydrated, and with less fine lines than before using it! This serum combines two different formulas to bring you a youthful glow! One of the key ingredients is turmeric, which is known for it’s excellent health benefits and anti-aging properties. Also, the scent is nice! It’s light, not overpowering, and a little fruity! It’s a lovely serum and I would use it everyday.

We received this for free to try in exchange for an honest review! #TryIrishSpring.
As this is typically a product targeted towards men, I’ve let my partner try this and tell me his thoughts.
He felt that the scent of this body wash was very nice. I would have to agree! It smells very outdoorsy, fresh and clean, with a hint of mint and herbs. I actually liked it quite a bit and tried it myself as well. I ended up smelling a little more manly than I would want every day, but I would definitely use this with no issues!
He found that the body wash didn’t lather overly well, unless he used a fair enough of the product. He said that he likely wouldn’t choose this particular body wash over the one he currently uses unless it was a significant difference in price or it was on sale. However, he didn’t have any real issues or bad things to say about this body wash, just that it was pretty average!
He said his skin felt nice and it didn’t dry his skin out. I noted the same thing when I tried it. The wash is a pretty blue colour, but I think I would prefer to see it with no colour added.
Overall, I’m very grateful for the opportunity to #TryIrishSpring! We’ll definitely be using the rest of the product, and we both still recommend this body wash to anyone! Price is nice, and it smells great to boot!

I was given the opportunity to try Ultime8∞ Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil made by Shu Uemura, thanks to @thisisbutterly, @chickadvisor and @shuuemura.
I’ve haven’t tried many oil based cleansers, but this one definitely left my face feeling really lovely. It didn’t leave a heavy oily residue, which I was kind of expecting. I thought that I would really only want to use this in the winter months when everything is so dry, but here I am, wanting to use it every day in the middle of the summer heat!!
With regard to removing makeup, works alright. If I had to rate it …Like 3.75/5. Pushes it around a bit, so you have to make sure to really wash your face. I noticed each time I needed to do multiple applications, but at the same time, it felt nice on the face to do so! I can imagine it works really well for hard to remove make up!! It would take it off with ease.
Overall, I would use this product again. I feel like it’s ideal for nighttime use, and for removing any heavy make up. I think use in winter would be better than in the summer, but at the same time I think it’s fine to use any time, and all the time. I didn’t experience any breakouts and my face was always left feeling refreshed and comfortable!
