These cute blemish brighting patches are super easy to use. They are stickers, just peel and apply to the affected area. Ingredients like niacinamide, tranexamic acid and vitamin C, works well to help fade the look of dark spots and redness. It is a super cute concept, but I still prefer liquid spot treatment, as it is easier to spot treat multiple spots. I find this patch too big to use multiple on the face. It feels like your face will have restrictive movement during the duration of usage. It would not be comfortable having multiple big patches on the face. Also, I did not like that it tugged my skin as I was pulling the patch off. It is not as versatile as traditional spot treatments, as you can only wear these to sleep or when I know I will be home all day. But I think these would be great for traveling as it will be less of a mess to pack and weighs next to nothing.

Peach 🍑 fuzz be gone! Thanks to butterly and Finishing Touch Flawless Beauty Canada for sending me their Facial Hair Remover to test out!
This very sleek design hair removing device was very easy to use. The device itself was more lightweight than I thought it would be too. It also came with batteries which was a bonus. I did, however, find it difficult to remove the cover to reveal the battery chamber. It was extremely stiff, so it took a while. Once it was off, everything else was a breeze. Just a simple switch upwards on the device and down to switch it off. It has a built-in light making it more clear and precise to easily pick up the lightest and finest hairs. Simple circular motion on desired area until the hair is gone. It was very gentle and painless. Made my skin softer and smoother to the touch.

I am a huge fan of makeup that uses natural ingredients! Thanks to Butterly and Glown Alchemist for gifting me their Skin Defense Primer to test out.
I am pleasantly surprised at how good this primer is considering it doesn't contain any silicone. This is the first silicone-free primer that I have tried that actually works. At first glance the clear colour prime looks thick out of the tube, similar consistency to petroleum jelly. But once you start massaging, it melts and absorbs right into the skin. This primer has a herbal botanical scent and felt lightweight on my skin and gave a matte finish. It helped blur out the look of my pores and made my skin smoother. My makeup glides on smoothly. However, it was not as heavy duty as my silicone primers, as my makeup did not last as long during ferocious/high intensity activities.
I still love the feel and look of this primer and the fact that it contains no toxic ingredients. I would incorporate it into my daily routine for errands/light activities primer. And will still use my usual silicone primers for concerts, festivals and drunken nights out. 😅

I'm a huge fan of suncreens. It is the one face care product I would never be caught without. Thanks to Butterly and Aveeno for sending me Calm + Restore Daily Moisturizer with Mineral SPF 30 to test out.
This lotion comes out slightly tinted and like most mineral sunscreens, does take slightly longer to blend and massage into the skin. But surprisingly once it's fully absorbed it left my skin with a laminating glow instead of a white cast like most mineral suncreens would. I also notcied that it smoothed and even out my skin tone. Most mineral suncreens I have tried are usually super heavy and sticky feeling, this one is one of the lightest I have tried by far.
I love that this is both a moisturizer and SPF in one with both UVA/UVB protection. This will save me time with my morning routine. I also love that it is great for sensitive skin, as it is both unscented and non-comedogenic. It's clinically tested and free from parbens, phthalate, alcohol and dye. The only thing is I wish it didn't contain EDTA.

Thanks to butterly and Grown Alchemist for gifting me their Energizing Body Cleanser in Chamomile, Bergamot, Rose and their Body Cream in Mandarin, Rosemary Leaf to test out.
The silky cream is light and absorbed quickly without any sticky or greasy feel. My skin did feel more nourished, softer and hydrated. It would be an excellent cream for me in the warmer seasons. But unfortunately it is not heavy duty enough right now for my winter eczema-prone skin.

Thanks to @thisisbutterly and @GrownAlchemist for gifting me their Energizing Body Cleanser in Chamomile, Bergamot, Rose.
I have pretty dry skin, especially in the winter time my skin gets extra dry and sensitive to the point that I get eczema. So I love that this Energizing Body Cleanser is sulfate-free and did not irritate or dry out my skin. It is a very gentle, low-foaming lightweight gel formula that doesn't strip moisture from my skin. Formulated with plant-based citrus acid (AHA) that gently decongests and exfoliates, leaving my skin feeling smooth. I also like that it has a mild energizing fragrance, created using essential oils. Is a must if you want a gentle spa like cleanser.

All those late holiday nights made it extra hard to wake up in the morning. Thankfully @mcdonaldscanada and @thisisbutterly gifted me their new McCafe French Vanilla Medium Roast K-cups @keuringanada @keuring
What better way to start off the new year than with a fresh cup of coffee! Out of all the fast food chains, McDonald's has always had the best tasting coffee. This one is no different. It's made with their signature medium Premium Roast Coffee with 100% ethically sourced Rainforest Alliance Certified Arabic beans that I have come to love. This French Vanilla Coffee has a hint of sweet and smooth vanilla flavour. I love that the french vanilla is not overwhelming as most flavored coffee can be. This one has more scent than taste which I enjoy, but I still prefer the original unflavoured version. I also love that each cup of Mcafe helps to support the well-being of coffee farmers, their communities and surrounding forests and wildlife. In addition the capsule k-cups are recyclable in selected locations.

Snowy 🥶 weather is just around the corner. Perfect timing for @dapcanada and @thisisbutterly for sending over DAP AMP Advanced Modified Polymer All Weather Windows, Door and Siding Sealant.
We tested this out on our huge high ceiling window. Application was super easy, applied smoothly and did not have a strong odour like some sealant can. It can be applied to both wet and dry surfaces and dries quickly, in 30 minutes and it's rain ready! It also stays flexible and UV resistant. The only thing that would be better is if it came with a reusable cap. Other brands we used before does so we can easily save the unused portion for later.
So far it seems to be holding up nicely, no more drafty windows. I can't wait to see how it holds up tgis winter!

Pimple patches have been pretty popular for a while now. So I was delighted to receive Hero Mighty Patch Original in the mail from @herocosmetics_ca and @thisisbutterly. It is going to come in handy just before that time of the month. I finally get a chance to try these hydrocolloid patches and see what all the hype is about.
Firstly, it is extremely easy to use, just stick it on clean skin, leave them on for 6 to 8 hours and then peel them off when the patch turns white. It is supposed to gently absorb pimple gunk and supports a healing environment. I love that it works great to camouflage the redness during the day time. This is a nice concept, but unfortunately it is not as beneficial for me. I usually get small blemishes which I try to contain right away with tea tree oil. When that happens it usually dies down before it gets any bigger or to the pustule stage. This patch works best on stubborn and angry pimples that are more developed, have been popped and opened or on white heads. It takes all the gunk out and dries it out. So it is still good for me to have as backup for those once in a bluemoon emergency. It is also great to use when I am out and about or traveling. When I see one is developing I can pop it on to help camouflage and protect it until I get home. It would probably also work great for people who are pickers too.

I am a huge fan of Grown Alchemist and have tried many products of theirs, from skincare, bodycare to haircare. I currently have a few incorporated into my daily rotation of skincare. So I was ecstatic when @GrownAlchemist and @thisisbutterly gifted me their Sweet Orange, Cedarwood and Sage Hand Wash and their Vanilla and Orange Peel Hand Cream to test out.
Grown Alchemist makes quality products that are certified toxic-free, and uses 100% natural and certified organic ingredients. I have tried both the hand wash and hand cream for about 2 weeks and I have been loving it so far. The gel hand wash was very hydrating and gentle on the hands, a little goes a long way even though it doesn't have a crazy lather. My skin felt clean and softer without feeling dry or tight. It does have a stronger cedarwood and sage smell, which is more earthly and manly than I would prefer. But I didn't find it bothered me that much, since they used essential oil and not artificial fragrance.
The hand cream absorbed nicely into the skin without leaving any greasiness. My hands felt smoother and softer and well hydrated. Not only did it nourish my hands but my cuticles too. When both products were used in combination I noticed my hands were more refreshed, radiant and healthier.
Awesome job Grown Alchemist. 👏 Here's to another two products that I will be implementing in my daily routine. If you have the budget, I would definitely recommend you giving these two luxurious products a try.
