Okay, so the hype on this one is legitimate. You get a decent amount in the tube, which happens to be metallic so you will get every last drop, this is a pro. It goes on smoothly and makes a fantastic base under makeup - another pro. It has some great claims and if they are true - a pro. The one and only con - and its a biggie - is the smell! I dont mind a little scent but this smells so strongly of lavender I worry it could cause a reaction with heavy repeated use. It also clashes with my fragrance. Also, lavender?! Why would I ever want to smell like my grandma's panty drawer? NOPE. I love this stuff, but its pricey and smells far too strong of lavender oil for my liking so for the pricetag and the scent I could never recommend this to anyone.

As someone with an Irsih/Scottish background, I am very fair and prone to sunburn and as a result, am an avid sunblock wearer. My skin is super dry too, espcially in winter. I find this Aveeno doubles as sun protection but also a nice barier in the cold winds of Toronto! It leave a slight white cast but this seems to even out my complexion, yet another unexpected bonus. Aveeno always agrees with my skin and I find their formals are never sticky. I do love this product but I am afraid for the price it is not worth the small amount in the tube. If on sale I would pick this up again in a heartbeat, however. I was given this product free from Butterly in exchange for my honest review. -

I have always loved McDonald's coffee, and having it available at home in K-cup form is very handy. This medium roast French vanilla offering is a great addition to the McCafe lineup, it is a warm custardy vanilla that is not overpowering whatsoever, it is a good dose of light toasty vanilla that does not overpower the flavour of coffee in any way. I see this becoming a regular in my coffee rotation. (Seriously, all the McCafe varieties I'v tried have delivered!).

I was sent this product about a week ago from Butterly.com so I have only had time to use it for short amount of time. I will say it is a lovely moisturiser, a cross between cream and lotion. It is moisturising without being sticky and light enough for use in Fall but should also carry me into winter! The tube is great as you can actually use up the entire contents. It seems unscented too which I appreciate. -

I was sent this product to review about a week ago from Butterly.com, which is not enough time to fully assess it but so far, I am impressed. This is a nice cleanser, it is very mild and seems unscented, which is a bonus for my sensitive skin but the removal of sulphates means using more product to effectively cleanse the skin. I like the pump, always a fan of a pump! I think this formulation will be especially soothing in the winter months when my skin is more prone to be parched. -

I was sent this product for review in early fall from Butterly.com, so I have only had about a week and a half to review it, not enough time to properly assess its effectiveness nor the best conditions to use this type of product. It is a heavy serum that is far more suited for Canadian winter months rather than mild fall ones. I think this product could do wonders in winter, but I would need to use it for more than a week and half to properly tell. The packing is impressive, though seems excessive and overly complicated, getting and equal amount of each of the serums is tricky, the product is meant to be used not only for display, surly. This in an expensive product and the jar will clearly never be fully used as the packaging does not allow for it. It is also excessively scented which seems to contradict claims of being good for your skin. Its a nice product, but finicky and not suitable for all seasons. I will use it up but there are far better, cheaper, non-scented and less annoyingly packed products out there. -

I have always loved Chapman's, amazing quality (you can taste the real dairy) at a decent price, Canadian and nostalgic for many. This new premium line is fantastic. I picked up the Salted Caramel as it sounded the most intriguing to me. The ice cream base had a lovely almost frozen custard texture but the addins, the addin take this to a whole new level. Salty and sweet but not overly so, different textures, every bite was different. Im super impressed and will be buying again, the salted caramel in particular, as I think it might be my new go-to frozen treat!
I got this product in exchange for review from Butterly.com, I would have reviewed it anyway as truly blown away.

I am always shocked when I have McDonald Coffee these days, twenty years ago it was the coffee you chose in desperation because nothing else was open. It was hot swill. Now McCafe is among the best coffees Iv had, I am talking it ranks right up there with the quality and taste of coffee one gets at small independent cafes where coffee is practically a region. The convince of getting this coffee at ho me makes it all the more better. I cannot recomend McCafe products enough and this new organic offering ticks all the boxes for me. Fantastic product! -

I got this free @shuuemura sample to try in exchange for a review. While the oil seems to work and the smell is devine, I cannot honestly comment on the long term effectiveness nor the impact this oil has on my skin, as the packet was good enough for one single use. Thank you @thisisbutterly for letting me get a small taste of this lovely smelling product. I wish I could comment more on its actual efficacy in my skincare routine. #tryshuuemura , #gotitfree -

In exchange for my honest review, I was sent @Covergirl Simply Ageless Mascara. I tend to not know if a mascara is a good fit for me until a few weeks of using it, I like the formula to thicken up from use and find a mascara only shines two or so weeks after frequent use. Not this baby, nope, this is the perfect texture from the get-go! I like that it is not super wet so doesnt transfer right after applying, something I find happens with my close set eyes, very frequently. I also like that this has yet to give me spider leg lashes. I am pretty impressed! -
