Thanks to Butterly I got to try this hydro boost cream for free in exchange for my honest review. In this current age of skincare where most creams are trying to cure too many skin concerns and have multiple active ingredients that often lead to irritation, this Neutrogena Hydro boost cream is a refreshing return to the basics. It is a hydrating cream. For my skin it did everything it claimed to. It quenched my dry skin and it did not cause any irritation or clog my pores. It is lightweight and absorbs quickly leaving my skin smooth and soft. It does not leave a dewy or greasy finish. I like to use it during the day time because it layers well with both makeup and other skincare products. It does not pill. I like that I can use this on days where I purely want to sooth and hydrate my skin to give it a break. If I really want to, I can also layer it with a serum that has active ingredients (AHA, Vitamin C and so on) without having to worry about a reaction. This is because the main ingredients of the Hydro boost cream are hyaluronic acid and glycerin which are compatible with basically everything. I also love that it is fragrance free. -

Thanks to Butterly I got to try this Primer for free in exchange for my honest review. This primer has a very unique texture like nothing I've ever used before. It comes out of the tube like a thick clear gel but when you put it on it turns into a smooth slightly powdery finish. It sets pretty quickly so you have to spread it out fast. It has a blurring effect and helps cover up uneven texture. I used it under a full coverage foundation and found that it really grips the makeup so much so that I had less time to blend it out then I usually do. The key to using this primer successfully is working fast. Once it was on it helped my makeup last all day. I have dry skin and the only thing I did not like was that it made my skin feel a little tight. This could be due to the fact that I am testing it out in the middle of a cold dry Canadian winter and it's a mattifying primer. I can see this working really well for people with normal to oily skin. I can see myself loving it in the summer so I'm going to save it and revisit it then. I did like how it blurred my pores and skin texture and the velvety finish it gave my foundation. It has a light lemon herbal scent but that doesn't last for long. There is no noticeable scent by the time I finish my whole routine. I love that it has skincare ingredients like Prebiotic Peptides and Ashwagandha.

Thanks to Butterly I got to try this Energize Body Cleanser for free in exchange for my honest review. I can not explain how much I love the way this smells! I wish they made more products in this scent like a body or hand cream. It has a strong floral rose scent which is followed by lighter notes of chamomile and bergamot. My only complaint is that I wish it lasted longer. The scent doesn't linger and by the time you get out of the shower it's gone. This cleanser has a gel like texture that forms a gentle milky lather. It's perfect for dry skin. As it doesn't really suds up, I find the best way to use it is on slightly damp skin with a cloth. If you add too much water, it won't lather and you will end up using more product than you need to. I really like to use this after I exfoliate to sooth my skin and lock in moisture. The packaging is luxurious, it looks like a fancy amber glass bottle but it is really plastic so you don't have to worry about it breaking if it falls in your washroom.

Thanks to Butterly I got to try this Body Cream for free in exchange for my honest review. I have very dry skin and really enjoyed the fact that this cream has multiple moisturizing ingredients in it; Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Mandarin Oil, Vitamin C and E. The texture is very interesting because it is thicker than your traditional body cream but not thick enough to be considered a body butter. It is thick and moisturizing while still being fast absorbing and non-greasy. I get a slightly different scent every time I use it. Sometimes I get the bright freshly squeezed mandarin orange scent and other times I get the more herbal woodsy rosemary scent. Sometimes it's a mix of both but I find the scent usually fades after it dries down. Within 20 minutes you really can't smell it at all. This is good so that it doesn't clash with any other products you are wearing. They did a really good job at making a product that both men and women can use; everyone in my house likes it. The packaging is luxurious, it looks like a fancy amber glass bottle but it is really plastic so you don't have to worry about it breaking if it falls in your washroom.

Thanks to Butterly I got to try these pimple patches for free in exchange for my honest review. I love pimple patches! I am someone who can't help but touch and pick my face and these are perfect to stop me from doing that. They are clear so I wear them during the day and overnight when a blemish pops up. They work really well at absorbing gunk when there is a white head. If the pimple is too deep and they don't absorb anything it still helps heal it faster, reduce redness and keep the area clean. I like that these are priced well compared to other brands. I also find that these are slightly thicker than other patches I have used in the past. What's cool about these Mighty patches is the sheet they're on is perforated so you can bend it and remove the patches easily without getting them stuck to your nails or folding in on themselves. -

Thanks to Butterly I got to try this Hand Wash for free in exchange for my honest review. This hand wash is really good if you have dry hands because it does a great job at leaving your hands clean without stripping them of their natural oils. It has a clear gel texture and lathers only slightly. If you want it to lather a bit more try applying it to dry hands first and scrub, then add water. I find it to be very moisturizing. You can feel that the hyaluronic acid, almond and coconut oils work. It leaves my hands feeling soft and smooth. This soap is gentle and soothing but still effective at cleaning. The bottle does look really nice in my washroom. It is plastic but looks like amber glass. I don't find the scent to be strong. The scent is nice but I wish it was stronger like the scent of the matching hand cream. Overall, really good, especially in the winter when the weather is dry and we are all washing our hands often.

Thanks to Butterly I got to try this Hand Cream for free in exchange for my honest review. This hand cream is deeply moisturizing without being greasy or oily. When you first apply it, it smells like you just peeled a fresh orange. The scent is really bright and energizing. It absorbs quickly and leaves my hands feeling soft and moisturized without any leftover residue. After a few minutes the scent does become lighter so it won't clash with any perfumes you're wearing. The tube is a good size and it will last a long time because you only need a small amount of product for it to be effective. I also love that you can roll up the tube to get every last drop out when it is close to the end. For a luxury hand cream, it is actually well priced and has the added bonuses of being certified toxic free, cruelty free and vegan.

I received this Paderno classic non-stick champagne bronze fry pan for free to try in exchange for my honest review through Butterly #gotitfree. You can feel that this pan is high quality when you pick it up; it has some weight to it. This is the best non-stick coating I have used! Nothing sticks to it and the flat-rivet seamless interior makes it so easy to clean. The champagne colour is beautiful. I work from home so I'm usually the only one home for lunch. This pan is 10 inches so it's the perfect size for me to make lunch and/or side dishes in. I have made grilled cheese, skillet gnocchi with tomato sauce, pan fried perogies, sautéed veggies and more in this pan. Everything I have cooked has turned out amazing. This fry pan has great even heat distribution. You can really tell when pan frying perogies or caramelizing onions that it's all browning evenly and cooking at a consistent temperature across the pan. You can even put it in the oven up to 400°F. There are so many possibilities of things you can make in this pan. It's perfect for everyday use and I find myself reaching for it on a daily basis. I like it so much I think I'm going to buy another one to have as a backup. -

I received this NOMA SurfaceElite High Power Bagless Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner for free to try in exchange for my honest review through Butterly #gotitfree. This NOMA vacuum is corded and after using a cordless one for a long time this NOMA vacuum really is an upgrade. Corded vacuums just have so much more power, better suction and you never have to worry about running out of battery. I have dogs and this vacuum did a great job at picking up all their fur without clogging up the machine. The anti-tangle brush roll really is anti-tangle. It was very easy to put together. You only need a screwdriver for one part and then everything else just clicks into place. I love how light weight it is. The vacuum is less than 14lbs; this makes it easy to pick up and carry up/down stairs. I have both carpet and hardwood floors. This vacuum works great on both. It has FloorDetect Technology that automatically detects changing floor types and adjusts height for consistent performance trapping fine particles on hardwood floors and carpets. It is so easy to control and move around, you can do it with one hand. The LED Headlight is very useful to make sure you don't miss anything, especially under furniture. Overall, I really enjoy using this vacuum. -

I received this Listerine Antiseptic Cool Mint Mouthwash for free to try in exchange for my honest review through Butterly #gotitfree. We all put a lot of thought into our skincare and makeup routines but what about dental hygiene? It is just as important. Just like for beauty I want to choose products that are effective, easy to use and have good ingredients. Listerine checks all those boxes. I like that this mouthwash uses 3 essential oils from eucalyptus, mint and thyme; as well as a bit of alcohol to help fight bad breath, plaque and gum disease. It makes me feel good knowing that it kills up to 99.9% of germs. I can feel this working as I swish it around for 30 seconds, it does tingle a little bit. I love the way my mouth feels and tastes after using it! I feel fresh and confident as I go through the rest of my day. I also want to say that I love the cap on this. The child resistant cap on this is opened by squeezing it on the sides and turning. I find it easier for me to open. I prefer squeezing this one instead of the classic cap that you push down and turn to open. This mouthwash is a great addition to my routine and I will be buying another one once I finish this bottle. -
