I've always been a fan of Aveeno, since I was going through a wild eczema flare up phase at one point in my life. Aveeno's always been mild and kind to my skin. Thanks to Butterly for allowing me to try this product. As a person who is often on the edge of being busy/lazy, I'm always looking for short-cuts and so, absolutely love Moisturizers that have SPF to act as a Sunscreen as well. This product is not heavily scented, and was so easy to apply. The cream itself has a bit of an orangey/yellowish hue, which is not a problem, but for those whose skin color does not match it, you might just need to be careful and blend it to your skin thoroughly. It may seem greasy at first, but it actually absorbs wonderfully and I don't find my skin greasy afterwards at all. Thanks again Butterly, I will definitely purchase this product in future. -

I have always loved Aveeno, and will continue to do so. Their products have helped my Eczema prone skin for many days. Thanks to Butterly, I received a full sized sample to try. The Calm Restore Exfoliatir unfortunately did not hit the mark for me. When I look for exfoliators, I just prefer one that has beads or particles that assist in exfoliating. But that's just a personal preference.
The Skin Therapy Balm did wonders for me however. I tend to get Eczema on my fingers, and this balm really helped sooth and calm it. I'd most likely buy it again. Thanks Aveeno and Butterly!!

I was starting to have really dry lips so I was looking for something to provide a quick nourishment. I had heard good things about this product before but oh boy CAD26 for a small 20g bottle, it's no wonder it took me ages to finally invest in this! So I took a risk and bought this item (hence why samples are important! you need to know if it works on you) and thankfully, this actually worked nice for me! Comes with a little application tool to apply safely without having to dig your fingers into the jar. I left the mask on overnight as instructed, woke up to much better looking lips. So I'm quite glad to have purchased it. Do I still need a lip balm during the day? Yep, but not as much. I should warn you though, it smells delicious but please, as tempting as it is, please don't eat it :D (jokes)! The only other downfall is that I can't kiss my doggos goodnight anymore :'( -

So I received this as a cute little 0.8ml sample. My partner bought it for me the next week. It's such a nice, floral, feminine fragrance and is quite lasting as well. I really love it! It cost CAD160 retail for a 90ml (3 oz) bottle - a bit more than I would like to pay for a fragrance - but I reckon it'll last a long long time. -

As someone with Eczema, I generally tend to stick to products that I know works on me. Unfortunately, this was a miss for me. I found it wasn't very "lubricating", or very moisturizing. It is easy apply, but feels dry afterwards and so, I had to keep on applying, and numerous applications mean you don't always smell like roses and you can feel very uncomfortable. As for price, I think I paid about $10 for 710ml at Shoppers drug mart Canada and I think it is normally about $12 so, the price is not bad. Just didn't work for me unfortunately. -

So I received a 32g sample to try and after purposely not washing my hair for 2 days, I tried it to see if it works and I'm glad to say it actually does feel pretty good. My hair was feeling frizzy prior to that (perhaps from using Tresemme) but applying this, the hair is still frizzy but it does feel softer. The smell is nice, a bit "chemically(?)" but better than the "if-you-didn't-wash-your-hair-for-2-days-and-applied-nothing" smell (lol - looking at your busy mums who need to go to the grocery store like me). So I'd probably get it again as a quick fix. -
TRESemmé® Volume Healthy Volume Shampoo

I tried Tresemme a long time ago but wasn't too fond of it then. I hadn't tried this specific product, so when I received the sample (both shampoo and conditioner), I was excited to try. I do have thin straight hair, so naturally, I love volume enhancing products. Unfortunately, this is not for me. The scent itself was nice, application felt good too, but something about Tresemme when I rinse the product off, the hair just feels heavy and "gloppy" (for the lack of better word). So, will be skipping this in future. On the bright side, it is a large product and surely, would've gone a long way. My hair just wasn't too fond and feels frizzy now more than ever. -

I'll start by saying I don't wear make up most days so I don't know how well this will work applied with make up.
Review: A little goes a long way for me with this product. Just dab small dots all over your face and rub upwards, one-motion (not back and forth). You have to make sure you rub it in properly because otherwise, there will be white streaks on your face. I do like to finish off with another layer of moisturizer so it spreads better. It may be a little greasy when it's really hot and humid outside, but hey, at least the skin's protected!
I'm not sure if it's from this product or not, but my skin has done much better since using this.

Nutiva coconut oil
For days when my eczema prone skin feels really dry, I use this in the shower. Be careful though, the bathtub/floor can be slippery (duh!) and hard to clean. But, it does help my skin feel much softer. Another must have for me.

Days when my skin absolutely flares up, when it gets so stubborn that most creams are useless. This actually calms my skin. It's best used after a bath, when the skin is relatively moist (not too wet). A little (a lot actually) on the pricey end, so I do tend to be a bit stingy with the application. I also try to use other products when my skin's doing fine so I can save these for "bad days". All in all, I like having this around this house, but for $19.90 for a 500ml lotion, that's a tad expensive. -
