I received this product for free from Butterly to review. This is the Daily Moisture Healthy Start Newborn Balm by Aveeno. While I don’t have a newborn baby, I did use this on my 4 year old son. I’ve used countless amounts of Aveeno products in the past and they always produce 10/10 products.
Let’s Dive in to the Balm:
🌼You only need a small amount of product. It spreads nicely
🌼Leaves skin feeling soft and smooth
🌼Doesn’t dry out skin
🌼Perfect for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin or eczema
🌼No irritating fragrances
Overall, I was really impressed with the products as usual. They are both solid 5/5 and Aveeno has done it again. Another key point I really like is that my son gets some patches of eczema during the colder months, and the wash and balm didn’t irritate it at all. If anything, it helped.

I received this product for free from Butterly to review. Let’s have a look at the Pro Heal Bandages by Band-Aid. I rarely need bandages but Ironically, the day I received these is also the day I somehow managed to cut my finger open trying to scoop out some deep conditioner.
Pros:
- I love the extra peel strip above the white dressing area. It’s great they have added protection to make sure the bandaid stays clean and sterile before application.
- The bandage stays on the skin even with constant hand washing.
- It has a strong hold and stays well on the skin
- The bandage removes easily when you’re ready to take it off.
- I noticed my cut healed quicker than usual.
Cons:
- Wrapper was a bit difficult to open. I definitely shredded the paper a lot just to get the bandage out.
- Only come in one size. So it’s way too much if you have a smaller cut.
Overall, I give it a 4.5/5. Mainly because if you’re in the heat of the moment, it’s a huge pain if you’re stuck trying to tear open this package to get a bandaid out. Other than that, this product is awesome and I’d definitely recommend it!

Let’s have a look at the Blemish Brightening Patches by PanOxyl.
🌼Product is easy to use and mess free
🌼Patches apply and are removed very easily 🌼Results happen overnight. Red spots/darkness fade.
🌼Patches are comfortable to sleep with overnight. After a few minutes, you forget it’s even there.
🌼The patches come as a “select a size”. You can either use a full patch or tear it in half for a smaller area.
🌼 Product is safe for sensitive skin and doesn’t cause irritation
Overall, I give it a solid 5/5. PanOxyl has done it again. The patches are easy to use and I already noticed results overnight. I used other PanOxyl products from a previous Butterly campaign, and they never fail to amaze me. My skin has never looked better.

I received this product for free from Butterly to review. This is the Super Papaya Enzyme by Swiss Natural.
Let’s start off with the pros. I love the chewable format. The enzyme tastes great and is really easy to take. I don’t take enzymes daily, I just take them with potential trigger foods (heavy cream, onions, etc. ). I took one enzyme with meals and I did notice a difference afterwards. I didn’t have cramps as I usually get when consuming onions. I find taking it regularly also helps to keep you regular too, so the enzyme is great for overall digestive health too.
Keep in mind that the enzyme only contains papaya. The current enzyme I’m taking is full spectrum and covers everything from digesting protein, carbs, fat, and fibre. Again though, this also depends on the severity of someone’s issues. Personally, the Swiss Natural enzyme worked for me for the most part. But when I eat something like heavy cream, that’s when I do need the full spectrum enzyme.
Overall, I think it’s a fantastic product for anyone who’s just looking for a simple, basic enzyme. I think it’s perfect for anyone who just suffers from mild issues and is looking for help with digestion. However, I feel that anyone who has more severe issues, may benefit more from a full spectrum enzyme.

I received this product for free from Butterly to review. This is the Listerine Zero Alcohol Mouthwash.
This mouthwash is the perfect addition to my morning routine. I love that it doesn’t have that “bite” that other mouthwashes have. It’s much smoother and not as intense. It freshens my breath and it’s also a great product to have if you need to quickly freshen up after eating a meal with strong flavours.
The only thing I didn’t like is that I found using it dried out my mouth. The packaging also says that you can’t eat or drink for 30 minutes after use, so you’re kind of stuck with dry mouth for a bit.
Overall, I’d rate it a solid 4/5. I just wasn’t a fan that it dried out my mouth but other than that, I loved the product! I’d love to check out other Listerine products.

I received this product for free from Butterly to review. Today, we are having a look at the Advanced Moisture Therapy Lotion by Lubriderm.
I loved the body wash, so I figured this would be another top pick. Unfortunately, it wasn’t for me. After using the lotion, it made my skin really sticky. I’m not sure if it’s too moisturizing for me, but I didn’t like the stickiness. I might try it again in the winter time when my skin is extremely dry to see if it still happens.
Stickiness aside, it wasn’t bad. I like how you only need a small amount of product so the bottle will last forever. The lotion did absorb nicely too. I also love that it’s fragrance free and doesn’t contain parabens and all that other stuff you don’t want. It’s perfect for anyone with skin sensitivities.
Overall, I’d rate this a 3.5/5 mainly because I didn’t like how sticky my skin was.

I received this product for free from Butterly to review. Today, we are having a look at the Advanced Moisture Therapy Body Wash by Lubriderm.
The body wash is fragrance free and perfect for anyone with sensitive skin. It lathers up nicely and leaves skin feeling soft, smooth, and very hydrated. I have another body wash I’m using, and the comparison is night and day. Lubriderm really hits home when it comes to moisture. I usually don’t buy a body wash solely on its moisturizing properties, since I prefer to use lotion afterwards. But I would definitely buy this again. It’s perfect for surviving the dry, harsh winter. I absolutely loved trying this body wash.

I received this product for free from Butterly to review. This is the Face Bond Foundation by Urban Decay. I’m testing out shade 3 Fair Warm.
I love how thin the bottle is. It’s compact and perfect for purses or anyone who is on the go/travelling a lot. I also love the dispensing system. I’ve never seen a dispenser like it and it’s absolutely perfect. You get a small amount of product and you can build coverage. I find with other foundations, they usually dispense too much product. This one gives you the perfect amount. It also isn’t messy like other dispensers.
The coverage is incredible. Although I struggle with acne and there’s still some areas that show, it still gives incredible coverage. It’s a lightweight formula and it feels like you’re wearing nothing.
I highly recommend this and I’ll definitely be buying it again. I think I’ve found my new favourite foundation.

I received these products for free from Butterly to review. This is the Loveshine Lipstick by YSL in shade 44.
I can’t stop raving about this packaging. YSL never fails to amaze me. The tube is absolutely gorgeous. It looks luxurious, high end, and is absolutely stunning.
The lipsticks apply like a lip balm. They’re incredibly easy to put on, which is great if you’re a beginner that’s new to makeup. The Loveshine lipsticks are one of the most moist using lipsticks I’ve ever used.
I also think the colours are perfect. They have the perfect amount of colour deposit and it’s great for everyday wear. It elevates your look without being overly dramatic. I find that cooler colours tend to look better on me, so I really love the shade 44. It’s a pinkish plum shade and it looks absolutely lovely with my skin tone.
It’s super easy to take off and doesn’t take much scrubbing, but I did have a drink of water while wearing the lipstick and it did transfer. So the lipstick is not transfer proof and you’ll have to apply it throughout the day.
Overall, it’s a phenomenal product. YSL always makes amazing, luxurious, high end products that are absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend! I’ll be checking out other lipstick colours to buy.

This is the AM Oil Control Moisturizer by PanOxyl.
I love that PanOxyl has an AM and PM moisturizer. I usually just use one, so having the two makes me feel extra fancy. Keep in mind that the AM moisturizer also has sunscreen in it. Although this is a nice touch, you really have to rub it in or else it leaves a white cast on your face.
The moisturizer is lightweight. It doesn’t cause clogged pores or irritate the skin. It’s perfect for anyone who has sensitive skin or who struggles with acne. When used together with all of the other PanOxyl products, I noticed I had less redness in my skin.
Overall, this is a great product. I love that it applies well, doesn’t irritate, and contains sunscreen so you don’t need an extra product.
