I was recently sent the Ozonol Non-Stinging Ointment for free to try in exchange for my honest review. This ointment is a household staple in that it's made for scrapes, minor burns, skin irritations, insect bites, chafing and chapping. I'm a clumsy girl that always gets cuts and scrapes easily from cooking and baking in the kitchen, but also from working out. I also am a giant mosquito magnet and always gets the worst mosquito bites that are so itchy and irritating.
With the Ozonol Ointment it provides soothing relief of pain and itching immediately and I love that it doesn't sting or burn at all. Recently I got a small scape on my finger from using the knife to cut something and a patch of my skin peeled off. After cleaning the area, I immediately applied this ointment to the area and it felt so much better immediately. And after a few days of use, the area already healed and looked much better. I can't wait to test it out for insect bites later on as the weather warms up as I'll be spending more time outside as well.

For those that have suffered from breakouts and acne before you would know that hyperpigmentation and scarring is one of the most annoying aftermath that results.
With the PanOxyl Blemish Brightening Patches, it claims to improve the appearance of post acne marks in just 10 days. These patches are essentially like your regular blemish patches that you stick onto your problem area, but they’re infused with a spot fading complex that consists of niacinamide, tranexamic acid and vitamin C to help lighten up discolouration. They’re very thin and easy to apply, and each patch is quite big so you cover a bigger area. Because of the size of the patch it is still noticeable if you wear it out or under makeup, hence I only use this at night time. I do like to cut it in half sometimes if I just have a small patch of discolouration in multiple areas.
As I was only sent a sample of 4 patches to try out, I didn’t notice too much of a big difference for larger patches of discolouration that I had for a longer period of time, but smaller patches of discolouration did seem to improve a bit in just a few uses time.
I would recommend this product for those that are looking for acne aftercare and I think it’s such a convenient and innovative product!

YSL Loveshine High Shine Caring Lipsticks are the perfect combination of a lip oil and a lipstick, they’re everything you want in a lip product and more! They’re glossy, they glide on your lips, they’re moisturizing, and most importantly the colours and packaging is beautiful! These lip oil sticks provide up to 24 hours of hydration as they’re made with fig pulp and six different nourishing oils. They’re perfect for everyday use as they offer a semi-sheer finish to give you a natural finish.
The shade 44 is a beautiful nude-y pink colour (or the perfect bunny tongue shade, IYKYK) and it looks so natural on the lips. It is so effortless to apply and it gives your lips a nice rosy colour with the perfect high gloss shine to it. It doesn’t feel sticky at all and keeps your lips looking plump and full, but most importantly feeling hydrated!
Overall, I’m in love with this lippie; the formula, the pigment and the scent are all outstanding and I haven’t found such a great lip product in years!

I was recently sent a free 7 day trial of the Clarins Double Serum from Clarins and Butterly to try in exchange for my honest review.
The product claims that it is able to boost the skin's function to provide younger looking sign as well as reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, enlarged pores and to tighten and firm up the skin. The product is a mix of a two different liquids in which you mix together and then apply and there is a very pleasant scent to this product which I find quite relaxing. It doesn't leave the skin sticky nor greasy and absorbs really quickly into the skin.
As this was only a one week trial, I wasn't able to see the long term effects of this product, but I did notice that my skin most definitely did feel more hydrated with this addition into my daily skincare routine.

I've never tried a cleansing oil before so I was excited to try out the Shu Umerura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing oil that was sent to me for free from Butterly and Shu Uemura in exchange for my honest review.
I know double cleansing has been a trend as of recent years, so this product was the perfect addition to my skincare routine.
For the most part, I like to wear simple makeup on a daily basis, but waterproof mascara is part of my routine which is sometimes a pain to remove. This cleansing oil contains a blend of different oils to help thoroughly and easily remove makeup (including my waterproof mascara!) and I absolutely love it!
There is a scent to the product, hard for me to describe, but I personally really like the scent, I have seen many reviews where people complained that it was too heavily fragranced, in which I for the most part, I am really sensitive to heavy strong scents, but this one feels very relaxing and spa like in my opinion. It helps me relax at the end of the day while I'm doing my skincare and getting ready for the night.
The oil is super smooth and glides onto the skin really easily, and it washes off really easily as well. It left my skin feeling so soft and smooth after I rinsed it off.
Overall, I would recommend this product and may look into purchasing the full size in the future! Note: of course everyone reacts differently to skincare products, so perhaps try out a smaller size first if you are interested!

I’ve always been interested in trying shampoo bars, but at the same time I feel like it wouldn’t work as well as regular shampoo, but was I wrong. This Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo Bar in Honey Treasures lathers up so nicely and just feels great on the hair and scalp. It cleans the hair thoroughly without stripping it, causing that squeaky clean feeling, but rather moisturizes and nourishes it.
And don’t get me started on how AMAZING this shampoo bar smells, it’s hard for me to describe, but its sweet, creamy, and natural all at the same time (you’ll just have to smell it in person)!
I love that there are different scents available and for different hair types and concerns. And can we just talk about the fact that there is zero plastic waste associated with this product?! I’m in love!
I will definitely be repurchasing this in the near future (and most likely all the other scents too)! I’d highly recommend you give it a try if you’re looking for a new shampoo!

The texture of this cream is so interesting, but also amazing at the same time! It appears very thick, but as soon as you rub it into your skin it absorbs it immediately giving it this plush, watery, velvety smooth texture.
It does keep your skin plump and moisturized as well, and provides a nice base for me to apply my makeup.
I also love the fact that it is made with 90% naturally derived ingredients, vegan and cruelty free!
The scent is fresh, but also has hints of soap mixed with florals (at least that's what it smells like to me) which isn't my favourite personally and a little too strong for my liking,
Overall, I do recommend this if you're looking for a new clean moisturizer to try out!

I love Thai garlic chili flavoured anything so I was excited to try this Purgrains side dish! I loved the texture of the different grains and it definitely keeps me full without feeling bloated. Its great to have on its own or with other side dishes and its super quick to heat up.
Flavour wise, I was a little bit disappointed, there was a bit of a sour taste to it which I wasn’t a fan of, the spice level was great though. Personally I feel it lacked a bit of sweetness and umami to balance it off.
I would recommend it if you’re looking for a healthier option and on a time crunch, but next time I would perhaps try a different flavour!

My skin gets so dry and itchy during the winter time so this Aveeno Revitalizing Body Wash with Prebiotic Oat and Green Tea came at the perfect time!
I've always heard about oatmeal baths and how they do wonders for the skin, but its just too inconvenient and I don't have the time for that on most days. However, this body wash is essentially the same thing, but quick, convenient and easy to use!
It cleanses the skin well, lathers nicely and helps to alleviate dryness and itchiness from my skin which I love. My skin feels moisturized after taking a shower, in which even if I skip the step of applying body lotion, my skin still remains healthy looking and supple! I also really love the smell of it, it's quite clean, natural and refreshing! The texture of this body wash is also more watery in consistency in comparison to other body washes that I normally use, which are more creamy, milkier and thicker.
I love that it contains 98% of naturally derived ingredients and that it's hypoallergenic and free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, dyes and soaps so I can use this safely knowing that it's good for the skin and body!

I really enjoyed using the Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleanser as I find it to be a perfect balance of being able to clean well without stripping the skin of its natural oils while providing moisture to the skin as well.
As I have combination skin, it can be a struggle to find a cleanser that cleans well, but moisturizing enough for the dry parts of my face and gentle enough to not cause any sensitivity either. I use this twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening and so far my skin has been really loving it and it makes my skin feel nice and smooth.
I have also noticed that my skin looks a bit brighter and more even looking after using this cleanser which is amazing!
I love the scent of this cleanser too, it's so light, natural and clean smelling, which I'm a huge fan of. The texture of the cleanser is quite silky as well and lathers up quite well.
I would definitely recommend this others and would personally repurchase after finishing this bottle!
