I received Blue Lizard SPF 50 mineral sunscreen for free from Butterly in exchange for my honest review.
Summer is fast approaching and that means it time to apply sunscreen, though it should be used for all seasons.
I was expecting this formula to be on the thicker side, but I had barely squeezed the tube when I got a lot more of product than needed.
The consistency is quite runny and you honestly don’t need lot of it, it spreads very easily but does take time to blend into the skin. I spent a good 2 minutes blending the product into my skin as there was a white cast showing on my brown skin.
After application, my skin felt very smooth almost like I applied moisturizer and there was no tackiness as you would find with other brands of sunscreen. I didn’t detect any scent and this gave my skin a dewy finish.
I like that this is UVA/UVB protection and up-to 80 minutes of it being water resistant.
Will for sure be reaching for this sunscreen especially when I’m out doing gardening.

I received Tom’s deodorant in the scent rose & vanilla for free from Butterly in exchange for my honest opinion.
This deodorant goes on clear, glides smoothly and is easy to apply. It is strongly scented but not overwhelming. I can smell the rose peaking through, but don’t get any whiff of vanilla, I have smelled this deodorant numerous times and it gives off earthy vibes.
I need deodorant that can hold up through out the day and this does the job, it’s long lasting, smells good and it even lasted during my HIIT workouts. I didn’t feel any wetness or unpleasant odor coming from the armpits.
Another bonus is that this contains no aluminum, artificial fragrances, parabens & baking soda.

I received the Clean Reserve rollerball fragrance in the scent Nectarine Petal for free from Butterly in exchange for my honest opinion.
The fragrance comes in a standard rollerball glass bottle and I would’ve preferred a spritzer format, but that’s just a personal preference.
I like how I can easily just throw this in my bag and apply it whenever it’s needed.
The top note as it is stated on the bottle is nectarine. However there is also peach blossom & chamomile as the middle notes and for base notes you have amber & musk.
This is a fun fruity/floral fragrance that would be great for the spring & summer time.
I applied this behind my ears and on the wrists and the scent is very subtle, it’s not too sweet and I can definitely smell the nectarines, that’s the only note I am able to detect.
I was able to get at least 4 hours of wear from this fragrance and I noticed that the areas I applied this on my skin had a tackiness to it and that’s something I’ve never issued with a fragrance before.

I was selected by @thisisbutterly to try out the new Van Houtte brew over ice hazlenut coffee for free provided I give my honest opinion.
I love how quick & easy it is to make a cup of iced coffee. My Keurig has 3 different settings for the cup size, I opted with the standard 8oz.
I used a ceramic mug as the instructions mention not to use a glass (can crack with the heat) and filled it up with ice and with a click of a button on the Keurig, coffee started pouring.
It smelled really good, the hazelnut aroma definitely made an appearance. I noticed that the ice obviously melted fairly quickly with the hot coffee, and therefore I ended up adding more ice.
I didn’t add any dairy or sweetener to the iced coffee as I wanted to taste the drink as is. The coffee flavor was strong but not too overpowering, I liked that fact that there was no bitter/sour aftertaste as it can happen with certain coffees.
Hoping next time to add a splash of milk to the iced coffee as that will definitely take it up a notch, however drinking the iced coffee black is just as good.

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
This is a first time for me to try out a moisturizer with SPF 30 and that is tinted so wasn't sure what to expect.
Aveeno moisturizer has no fragrance which I really like, as I don't like for my moisturizer to contain a fragrance. Now it claims to blend into all skin tones and I have to disagree on that.
This moisturizer has a thick consistency, which is not a bad thing, however applying this product took some time to blend in. A
little bit goes a long way, so if you apply too much, you will be spending a minute to two trying to blend the product in. I found that this did give me a sort of white cast (medium skin tone) if I didn't vigorously blend this into my skin.
I also don't like that this moisturizer gave off a tacky feeling to the skin, it felt as if the product was just sitting on my skin. This has a sheer finish and while I don't like how this looks on my face, simply due to the white cast, I can say that I will be using this on my legs. My legs are very pale in comparison to my face so I don't have to aggressively blend this product on my legs and there is also no white cast.

My dry skin is loving this body cream especially during the colder weather.
This cream is very lightweight, there’s no stickiness to it, it’s non-greasy, doesn’t just sit on your skin as it absorbs very quickly and the best part is that it smells really good. Definitely can smell the mandarin in this cream.
I like the pump dispenser, can control how much I want to use and it’s more hygienic than the standard body creams that come in jars.
One pump of this product goes a long way! It is very moisturizing but not to the point where you will feel the product on your skin.

A super gentle body cleanser that not only smells really good, but effectively cleans the skin without it being stripping.
Chamomile, bergamot & rose are the three top notes that make this cleanser stand out from other brands. I’ve never quite smelled something this good before, though I definitely can smell bergamot the most, chamomile & rose are very subtle to my nose.
The format of this cleanser is gel and I like how it comes in a bottle with a pump, easy to dispense and this gives a light lather but I had no issues using 2 pumps on an exfoliating cloth creating much more lather.
I feel really clean using this cleanser, it doesn’t dry out the skin and it smells really good.

I'm a coffee drinker, and have to have a cup daily in the morning, otherwise my mood isn't right. I prefer to use k-pods, simply because it's quick to whip up a cup of hot coffee especially on those mornings where my time is limited.
This is a medium roast coffee, which I really enjoyed, there was no bitterness and I would be able to tell as I drink my coffee black, has a nice vanilla scent, nothing which is too overpowering & has a hint of vanilla. I think this french vanilla roast would go really well with a splash of milk.

I received the Dap Amp all weather sealant for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
This is a transparent silicone which is flexible, paint ready in 30 minutes, fully cured in 24 hours with low odor and 100% weatherproof.
You will need a caulk gun (majority will fit) in order to use this product and make sure to cut the top part at a 45 degree angle.
I have some experience using a product such as this for interior molding so I had no trouble using this for my window frames. I didn't realize that the current caulk on my window frames was starting to crack and needed to be redone just in time for the colder season.

Hero Mighty Patch Original

I used two of these patches (different areas) at night after cleansing my face and I like that they held up all night long, didn’t slip nor come off. I don’t find that it made a difference at all, maybe because the size of the pimple was small, had no redness to begin with and it wasn’t inflamed.
Instructions do say it’s best to use on a whitehead, nonetheless this seems like a great product that would come in handy for those pesky inflamed pimples.
