While Neutrogena has built a reputation for affordable and effective skincare products, their Hydro Boost Hydrating Serum unfortunately fell short of expectations. This lightweight serum aims to deeply quench skin overnight, but the hydrating effects were underwhelming. Instead of waking up to supple, refreshed skin, the serum performed more like a basic daily moisturizer.
The texture and application certainly hit the mark - the serum glides on smoothly and absorbs quickly. The generously-sized jar provides solid value for the price point. However, the heavily perfumed formula may irritate sensitive skin. Those seeking fragrance-free hydration may want to explore other options.
Ultimately, Neutrogena's Hydro Boost Hydrating Serum gets the job done as an affordable, no-frills moisturizer. But for a true overnight hydration boost, continue searching for a serum that drenches skin with nourishing ingredients. Neutrogena has some hits in their skincare line, but this serum is not a stand-out. I was still pleased to try the serum compliments of Butterfly.

Aveeno continues to impress with the stress relief body scrub. The smell is ultra comforting and leaves you feeling relaxed. The scrub is gentle, but still exfoliating. The soap and dye free formula aids leaving skin feel truly soft and smooth with no irritation. Definitely the most gentle body scrub I’ve ever used and the best scent. It all feels very natural. 10/10 recommend giving it a try.
I received a sample from Butterfly and I’ve already stocked up my bathroom with more.

My HCF journey started as a complimentary trial from a Butterfly campaign. I had used other Lancôme products before but had not tried the HCF serum. I had been hesitant to purchase because of the price tag. I don’t mind spending some dough but I do need to be sure the product is actually worth it.
So, now that I’ve had to opportunity to test drive it, I can confidently tell you it is worth every last cent. The first time I used it my face felt like it got the biggest drink it’s ever had. The moisturizing was beyond any serum I’d ever used before. My face felt instantly replumped. I’m 2 weeks in to using the serum twice daily and my skin is visibly refirmed and rejuvenated. Pores and fine lines are significantly reduced. Overall skin quality and luminosity is majorly improved. My skin looks the way it did about a decade ago.
I love the 3 products in one that only mix once you pump it out of the triple chamber and smooth it on your face and neck. The full potency of each formula is maintained by doing it this way. The serums go on so lightly and leaves no strange residues. This allows for a good base when applying makeup.
All in all, there wasn’t much I didn’t absolutely love about this product. I will 110% be purchasing this on a regular basis. It’s just so highly effective. My only complaint, if you will, would be the packaging. It is beautiful but I wish it weren’t plastic. It just gives me cheap vibes. Wish it were glass.

I was gifted a pack of Nicorette gum in fresh fruit flavour from Butterfly. The timing of it was perfect. I was headed on a long flight and used the gum to calm nicotine cravings. My only “complaints”, if you will, would be you don’t really chew it like normal gum and for the amount a heavy smoker would need to genuinely use it to quit….it’s kind of expensive. Personally, being able to chew it like regular gum would help me as much as the nicotine boost would. My habit is half nicotine addiction and half oral fixation. I think that’s the case for a lot of smokers.
It definitely does help to reduce the craving for a cigarette or nicotine vape or whatever kind of nicotine you use. Not sure it would be the answer to quitting the substance though as you’re still taking in nicotine. I think you just have to be ready to quit. The gum would only help if you were weaning off. I’d still 110% recommend the gum though, way better than smoking is for your health and it actually tastes fantastic. Very satisfying.

In love with the Bai kula watermelon. I was gifted a coupon to try a bottle and have bought several more since trying. It’s such a refreshing, tasty drink. I can have one with out guilt too thanks to the healthy sugar content. This drink keeps me going. Absolutely great on hot days or during workouts where you could use a little more boost than just plain water gives. Highly recommend trying Bai waters. -

We were gifted the Aveeno Baby Daily Wash in coconut scent and my goodness is it ever great. It was non-irritating on my babies sensitive skin, smells amazing but not too strong, it’s tear free, lathers up nicely and leaves both skin and hair ohhhh so soft. We’ve struggled with eczema and use this wash in conjunction with the Aveeno Baby Daily moisturizer and have seen a significant improvement. I highly recommend the combo for parents struggling to calm baby eczema and dry skin. -

My baby has struggled with mild eczema. Traditional lotions just weren’t cutting it. We were gifted the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Cream in the coconut scent. I was a bit hesitant to try it as I worried the coconut scent might make the eczema worse but much to my surprise, it did not. In fact, after several days of use, I noticed a significant improvement in my babies skin. There are very few dry patches left. I plan to continue using the lotion daily not only because it is helping the eczema clear but it smells fantastic. -
Colgate Renewal Manual Toothbrush - 2 pack
I received this toothbrush to sample and wow, what a treat. I’m currently pregnant and that has made my gums SO sensitive. This brush is soft and gentle but effective. Doesn’t irritate my gums and still leaves a very clean feeling.
