SPF is great for all times of the year, but once the summer weather hits, it claims the number one spot in my skincare routine. The spray bottle makes this easy to apply without missing a spot. I like that the sunscreen applies almost instantly as clear and absorbs quickly because you don’t have to worry about awkward white spots that don’t get rubbed in enough. This sunscreen is great for all skin types and provides me with broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection so I can enjoy the sun all day long! I have sensitive, dry skin and it felt like it hydrated my skin after applying it. I didn’t experience any tightness or filmy coating on my skin. As someone who loves enjoying the pool and beach, I also like that this provides me with 80 minutes of water resistance - I can have a quick dip in the water without the need to reapply right away.

Thank you Butterly for the opportunity to try the OGX Bond Protein Repair Sealing Serum for free! In the short time that I’ve been using this serum, it’s already become a game-changer for my heat-damaged hair. I was using this in conjunction with my regular shampoo and conditioner; however, the complete line includes a pre-shampoo, shampoo, conditioner, and 3-in-1 oil mist. This serum has a lightweight, non-greasy formula that instantly made my hair softer and smoother without weighing it down. I was exclusively using this on damp hair and then styling as normal, which included blow drying and sometimes straightening. The ends of my hair, which were previously dry and frizzy, looked healthier and the dead ends were less noticeable. I wasn’t a fan of the strong botanical smell, I could tolerate it, but would have preferred if the serum had a different scent or wasn’t as strong. I don’t think this would stop me from trying the other products, as I’m intrigued to see how restored my damaged strands would be if I used the entire line. Overall, I will continue to use this serum to strengthen and repair my hair! #OGX #BondRepair #RepairAndProtect -

Thank you Butterly and Church & Dwight Canada for the opportunity to try the ARM & HAMMER HardBall Clumping Litter for free in exchange for my honest review. Although my cat can’t share his thoughts, here are mine. I liked the texture – it felt easy to manage and scooped well without any mess. I would say it’s lighter than our previous litter, it didn’t feel like I was scooping out heavy clumps of waste and there was no noticeable dust. While the scent is designed to maintain freshness, it’s a bit overpowering and takes a few days to get used to. I tend to avoid heavily scented products for my cat, but he didn’t seem bothered by the scent. My cat has very furry paws and a floofy bottom, so an upside was that the litter doesn’t seem to get stuck in his fur as much. I did notice that he tended to fling more of it out of the litter box than our normal brand. I’m not sure if it was because it was a new litter or if it’s just lighter and flings easier. We haven’t been using this litter for 20 days, so I can’t comment on if it remains fresh for that long. However, my initial thoughts are that this is a good litter option for those who want effective clumping and odour control, just be mindful of the scent if that’s a concern you have. I would say price is a determining factor for if I purchase again, as I believe freshness can be maintained with most litter brands if you stay on top of cleaning the litter box, especially if you have a single-cat household.

Thank you Butterly for the opportunity to try the BAND-AID® Pro Heal Regular Bandages for free! I usually use hydrocolloid products for breakouts, so I was curious to see how these bandages would work on small wounds. The bandages provided excellent protection for the blisters on my feet, keeping them cushioned and shielded from irritation caused by my shoes. The adhesive was strong and kept the bandage securely in place, even while in the shower. I think the hydrocolloid helped relieve the sting that is usually associated with blisters once they pop. These bandages were effective at promoting healing. -

Thank you Butterly for the opportunity to try the Nexcare™ Brand Thin & Transparent Acne Patches!
Nexcare™ Brand has made applying acne patches a breeze with their innovative tab. This makes it easier to ensure your breakouts are fully covered and keeps your fingers away from the area. The ultra-thin patch is barely noticeable, which makes it great for daytime wear. I was impressed with how well these stayed on my skin, they didn’t budge throughout the night. I also like that there are different sizes as not all breakouts are tiny. These patches effectively reduced the look of my breakouts and there was nothing more satisfying than seeing the patches absorb the fluid from them!

I looked forward to trying TYLENOL Daytime Relief as daytime headache medication is a go-to for me as I often get headaches during the day. Although I’d love to sleep off a headache, I need to stay focused due to work, so by combining acetaminophen with caffeine, my pain was quickly alleviated and I didn’t feel drowsy. The medication is easy to swallow and fast-acting and I found that I didn’t have a lingering headache after the medication wore off.

I adore balmy lip products with a touch of colour, so the YSL Candy Glow Tinted Butter Balm is exactly the lip product I've been seeking! Enriched with maracuja oil and shea butter, this lip balm glided on smoothly, providing instant hydration. The formula feels incredibly comfortable on the lips, making touch-ups a breeze without the need for a mirror. Although I’m not entirely sure how the pH-adjusting pigments work, the shade 1B Pink Sunrise added a beautiful pop of pink to my everyday looks and was a great way to step out of my comfort zone for the shades I normally wear on my lips.

The Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in Rosy Peach (50.5) pleasantly surprised me! As someone wary of liquid blushes, the lightweight formula makes the application almost good-proof! I applied this with a makeup sponge, but I feel like a brush would give a better colour payoff. Don’t be fooled though, a little goes a long way! You can apply a dot of colour for a light flush or build it up for a bolder cheek look. The blush enhances my natural glow and lasts throughout the day.
