I found this wine to be a little on the sweet side, but that could be because I tend to prefer white wines. This wine tasted like a blend of berries, sweet and juicy. It paired well with my pizza date night dinner. I also had the idea of using it to make a tinto de verano. If you're not familiar with that drink, it's a popular summer drink in Spain that is equal parts red wine and lemon/citrus soda and served with ice (very similar to Sangria). This wine made a fabulous tinto de verano and brought back many memories of my vacation in Spain. I'm not sure if I would purchase this wine to drink it on it's own, but as a base for summer cocktails, I found it to be perfect.

I received this wine free to review from Butterly. I was pleasantly surprised by how close it tasted to the real thing, the only thing that was slightly different was it lacked the bite that alcohol tends to have. I found the wine a little but not too sweet with hints of citrus. It was pleasant with a punch of tartness. I also took the opportunity to try using it in some cooking and used it to make a lovely parmesan risotto. It tasted great and the wine paired very well with it. I've also been more mindful about what I'm consuming and I love that this drink was only 33 calories per serving!

I received the PanOxyl Overnight Spot Patches free to test and review from Butterly.
I’m prone to the occasional acne flare up once a month and use spot patches to help with the healing process. The PanOxyl patches help you to not touch and pick at the area (which leads to scarring), come in 2 sizes, and I like that they’re clear. They honestly don’t look very noticeable once applied and I’ve definitely left the house to run errands completely forgetting that I’m wearing them.
What are hydrocolloid patches, you may ask? They create a moist environment for the pimple which draws out all of the gunk and fluid to the surface to promote faster healing of the blemish. I love using these because they help me to stop picking the area and actually let my skin heal properly.

I received this product free to review from Butterly in exchange for my honest review. Butterly sent me the TheraBreath Oral Rinse in Dazzling Mint. It’s vegan, kosher, gluten free and halal, and has no alcohol, is non burning, no paraben or SLS/sulfates, and no dyes/colours. It tasted refreshing and didn't leave a burning sensation (likely due to the lack of alcohol). You just swish it around in your mouth for 30seconds-2minutes and then you can't eat/drink anything for a half hour afterwards. It left my mouth tasting minty-fresh for up to an hour after use. Overall I did enjoy using this oral rinse and would recommend it. The only con that I had with the product is that for the size there are cheaper oral rinses available, but likely less specialty ones in this price range that have the features previously listed like TheraBreath.

I received this vibrator free to review from Butterly in exchange for my honest opinion. The product came uncharged, and it took me a little bit to find the hole for the charger (cue a lot of "that's what he said" from my partner while I was trying to figure out how to charge it). Once it had a full charge, I struggled to figure out how get it going. In my opinion, the instructions were poorly written. It mentioned holding the power button for 3 seconds then to cycle through the buttons, but didn't really elaborate that you hold the power button for 3 seconds, then press the power button again to get it going. Then you can press the + or - buttons to cycle through settings. And once you get it going, LORD it is strong. The first setting is not a gentle vibe. Starts off powerful and gets even more intense from there. And when you press the +/- buttons it only goes through 5 vibration settings for the rod portion. I thought I was going crazy because the box said it had 10 settings, and it took me a bit to realize you had to press the power button again to get to the other 5 settings that control the ring vibrations. My only issue with this product how the instructions were written, which upon re-reading after figuring out the controls, makes more sense now. Maybe that's just user error on my end, but I felt they could have been worded differently. Otherwise, it took a bit of trial and error to figure it out. The product is powerful and sure to show you a good time. I (F) enjoy it, but my partner (M) said the ring part doesn't do much for them pleasure-wise. Great for solo play or for couples to use together in my personal opinion. Love that it's rechargeable and easy to wash and care for as well.

Thank you @thisisbutterly for sending me a coupon to try this flavour of Bai! I received a coupon to test and review the Kula Watermelon flavour of Bai for free. I like that this drink has only 1g of sugar and only 10 calories. It was super refreshing and tasted a little like a less sugary version of a jolly rancher candy. Delicious! I think the coconut flavour is still my favourite, but Kula Watermelon is a close second. Thank you #Butterly for letting me try this product. #review -

I received the Van Houtte Brew Over Ice Dark Chocolate Coconut K-cups free to review from Butterly. I'm surprised by how much flavour these cups have! They really pack a punch. The flavour is a strong dark roast and offers extreme coconut flavour. I'm not usually a dark roast kind of person, and really have to water it down with milk/creamer and sweetener. I know that the box says to use the 237ml cup option, but I found that too strong. I tried again with the smallest cup setting which was more of my preference for strength of flavour. I'd definitely be open to trying their other iced flavours. -

I received this product free to review from #Butterly. I haven’t tried a spray-on deodorant in years… and this product has reminded me why I stick to the stick variety. When you spray it, the powder-fresh fumes of aerosol spray goes everywhere. Spraying it in a tiny bathroom is a no-go. You end up inhaling it and have the awful taste of it stuck in your mouth and scent stuck in your nose. I’ll apply it, get dressed, and head outside to walk my dog. Even while out for my walk, I’ll breath in and still have the scent stuck and lingering each time I inhale through my nose. The scent itself isn’t bad, it’s just too intense. I’m not sure about the 72 hour claim, but after 24 hours I definitely still smell fine. I also haven’t noticed any product transfer staining my clothes, but that’s the only positive thing about this product that I can give it credit for. Overall, I can’t recommend it. I’ll be sticking to sticks.

I was sent the Colgate Total Clean Mint Toothpaste free to review from Butterly in exchange for my honest opinion. It has 12 hour antibacterial protection, has a clean mint flavour that keeps my breath feeling refreshed, and keeps those pearly whites sparkling! And something new I noticed is that their tubes are recyclable now!! I am all for companies trying to reduce plastic waste. Definitely recommend #trycolgate -

I received a sample sachet of this product to review. Maybe part of my bad review is too focused on the sachet, but it was very messy to use an oil based product from a tiny ripped sachet. In the few days that I tested this cleansing oil, it left an oily mess all over my counter and sink that I needed to clean up because there was no bottle or pump to dispense it. Maybe using the actual bottle would be less messy.
The product itself was effective at removing makeup and dirt from my face. However, as someone with oily skin, I didn't feel fully clean after using it. My face still felt oily after using it, and it required extra rinsing and towel-drying to make my face feel clean again. Personally, I wouldn't recommend this product because I still felt greasy afterwards and because of the messiness.
