Thank you @butterly for the opportunity to try the @yslbeauty Lashclash Mascara for free. I've only used perfume products by YSL in the past, so I was thrilled to try something from their makeup line. My first impression was that this mascara coats my lashes well. I feel like the brush can grab each lash and deposit product evenly from root to tip, giving me some really good volume. I tested its waterproof claim on various occasions, from misty weather to sweaty workouts, and it held up without smudging! I also liked that this mascara was flake-free and didn’t feel like it dried out my eyes during the day. The mascara was easy to remove with my normal oil-free eye makeup remover.

I loved having the opportunity to try the new CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU in the Nectarine Petal scent as I am a huge fan of other fragrances from this brand. I like that this is an alcohol-free, water-based formula because it’s sure to be gentle on the skin. The scent was delightful, it was the perfect balance of subtle fruit and floral. This is an everyday scent that makes you smell clean and put together. The light smell makes it a great fragrance to pair with other scents.

The lightweight gel formula makes this primer very easy to apply and it absorbs into my skin very quickly. I enjoy the citrusy scent, I even notice it on my skin a few hours after application. I wouldn’t say this has a completely mattifying finish, as I still appeared shiny along my nose, but the rest of my face was matte. I wouldn’t call the formula drying, but I can’t wear this on its own, I need to pair it with my regular moisturizer or else my skin looks a little dry. Luckily I didn’t experience any product pilling or lifting when applying my foundation on top of the primer. I will most likely continue to use this as I do like that it protects my skin from environmental exposure.

Wearing sunscreen every day has been part of my routine for a while now, but it’s always been a struggle to find one that pairs well with my other skincare products and makeup. As an Aveeno fan, I was very excited to try the Calm + Restore Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 for free! The product applied to my skin nicely, I felt like it absorbed quickly and didn’t leave my skin feeling tacky. The colour of the moisturizer blended into my skin seamlessly, avoiding the typical white streaks that other SPF products often have. The moisturizer created a nice base for me to apply my makeup, I didn’t experience any product pilling. I wouldn’t say that it evened out my skin tone, as I think I would need to be using it longer to see that result. However, my skin did feel nourished and moisturized after each use, which I think led to an overall improvement in the look of my skin. Although it’s not the summer, I would say that the SPF in the moisturizer did protect my skin from the sun. I typically spend a lot of time outside, even in the winter, and can often get burnt from the sun reflecting off of the snow, but luckily I did not experience any burns while wearing this outside on the snowy, sunny days. -

Thank you Butterly for the free Grown Alchemist Restorative Body Cream to try and review! My skin usually dries out as the weather changes, so this body cream has saved the skin on my legs. What was once visibly dry is now looking nourished and hydrated! The formula applies evenly to the skin and it absorbs quickly, leaving me with instantly soft skin. As a citrus fan, I love that this includes mandarin oil. The scent combination is spa-like, and it lingers lightly on the skin throughout the day. This is a relatively lightweight body cream that performs like a thick, hydrating moisturizer.

Thank you Butterly for the free Grown Alchemist Energize Body Cleanser to try and review! I’m a huge bergamot fan, so I love that this is scented with it. That being said, the body cleanser smells great and the subtle scent it leaves on my skin is heavenly, it’s like I’m being transported to the spa every time I use it. I like that you don’t need to use a lot of product to feel like your skin is being cleansed and refreshed, which is great as I want this bottle to last forever! During the dry winter months, most body cleansers tend to dry out my skin, so I was very impressed that this didn’t feel like I was stripping my skin. Adding this cleanser to my routine has added a sense of luxury to my overall shower experience.

Thank you Butterly for the opportunity to try the Hero Mighty Patches for free! These pimple patches have worked wonders for the breakouts I get along my jawline. I typically use these at night, and when I wake up, the swelling and redness have gone down. The patches are gentle on the skin and aren’t painful to remove, but are sticky enough to stay in place while I sleep. I find even when I use these during the day, it helps to keep my hands away from breakouts, speeding up the healing time. These pimple patches are a new holy grail in my skincare collection! -

The Trojan Duet 2-in-1 Vibrating Massager + Ring is an enjoyable addition to solo or couple play! I enjoyed how soft the silicone was and the shape made it easy to use and maneuver. It was easy to clean and paired well with my water-based lubricant. The vibration settings were enjoyable, and the way the massager is designed made it easy to switch between vibration type and speed. However, there seemed to be one vibration setting that was a combo of the others, and this wasn’t enjoyable, it almost made it seem like the massager was uncontrollably moving with no rhyme nor reason, which makes me believe it wasn’t supposed to operate that way. The massager holds its charge for a decent amount of time, I didn’t have to worry while using it that it would suddenly lose its charge.

Mouthwash has always been part of my oral hygiene routine. As someone that has been cursed with tonsil stones, I’m always self conscious of my breath, especially when I’m experiencing what I call a “flare up.” This mouthwash makes me feel confident that I’ll have fresh breath all day and it’s great to know that it kills the pesky bacteria that lead to the development of tonsil stones. I found that my teeth feel cleaner for longer when using this as well. -

Thank you Butterly for the opportunity to try the AVEENO® Tone + Texture Renewing Body Scrub for free! This scrub is both gentle and effective! It worked wonders in removing the dry skin on my legs, leaving them feeling incredibly smooth. Not only was it a great overall body scrub, it was effective at smoothing my skin before using self-tanner, which resulted in an even application. The scrub also lathered well, making it easy to spread and get a thorough scrub across my body. I noticed an instant improvement in the appearance and texture of my skin after using this. I think with repeated use, it will help bring out and maintain my skin’s natural glow. -
