Want to wake up with fresh hair? 🙋♀️ Now you can with Batiste!
I received Batiste Overnight Deep Cleanse Dry Shampoo (200ml) from @batistecanada and @thisisbutterly for free in exchange for my honest review.
About this product:
🌜 Prevents oil buildup while you sleep
🌜 Claims that you wake up to clean looking, fresh hair
🌜 Made with rice starch, charcoal & baking soda
🌜 Removes dirt & impurities accumulated throughout the day
🌜 Has a scent of jasmine & patchouli
🌜 Promises not to: dry out hair, gently remove oil & has a soothing fragrance
Review:
The Dry Shampoo worked well to reduce a oily mess of hair first thing in the morning. So, technically, you could wake up, style and go if you were too much in a hurry to shower...or use dry shampoo...
I found the Dry Shampoo was a bit stronger from the normal Batiste Dry Shampoo. It does have a strong flora scent at first, but it does subside. I don't find the scent "soothing" as "promised", but it was ok. I was worried about possible transfer of the dry shampoo accidentally onto my pillow throughout the night and then onto my face, even though it absorbed rather quickly after spraying, I think there is still the chance of getting some of it on your skin.
The Overnight Deep Cleanse Dry Shampoo does work, however, I find that applying the regular dry shampoo in the morning doesn't take that long. It is an interesting concept and I think it would be great for extra sweaty days/events where it would take you from nighttime to morning.
Thank you Batiste and Butterly for letting me try this product! 💕

Coffee brewed over ice? Yes please!
I was delighted to try Van Houtte Brew Over Ice Classic Black Medium Roast Coffee K-Cup from @vanhoutte and @thisisbutterly for free in exchange for my honest review! 😁
About this product:
🧊 Brew over ice K-Cup us compatible with all Keurig coffee makers
🧊 Don't have to leave your home
🧊 A combo of medium roast Arabica ground coffee and instant coffee
🧊 Quick and easy to make!
🧊 Do not use glass
Review:
I am a fan of Van Houtte coffee to begin with, so I wasn't too surprised when I enjoyed their version of an iced coffee! It was super easy to make: fill a mug or tumbler with ice, brew the K-Pod coffee over the ice, add cream/milk/dairy alternative and sugar, stir and you are all set! The Brew Over Ice coffee tastes smooth and satisfying on a warm summer day!
I also like that Van Houtte is committed to 100% responsibly sourced coffee and that the K-Pods are somewhat recyclable in my area.
A definite hit!
Thank you Van Houtte and Butterly for the cool coffee! 😎

🤔 So, would you rather.... 🤔
I love a good game! It's a fun time to spend with friends or family! I received Would You Rather? for free from Spin Master and Butterly in exchange for my honest review.
About this game:
🎲 Can be played with 3-6 players
🎲 For ages 14+
🎲 Easy to follow instructions
Review:
Would You Rather? is a pretty fun game where you can learn a lot about your fellow player's, including when they are bluffing! The instructions are super easy to understand and follow. I like that you can play for fun or keep score. The game itself is nicely compact, so you don't need a lot of space to play it and it travels nicely! The questions are interesting and entertaining.
I found that it kept everyone's attention and we didn't get bored. By having the spinner, 5 different categories, and 200 cards to choose from, each time you play will be different, so the fun will keep on going!
It is definitely a game that we will play over and over! 😁
Thank you Spin Master and Butterly for the many, and future, hours of entertainment! 💕

My first thought is that the photo on the packaging does not really look like the ice cream. The photo makes the cookie pieces look not that great becausethe colouring is off. Thankfully, this is not the case at all when you open the container.
I could tell that the ice cream was a higher quality because it was soo creamy! The cookie chunks were crunchy and not soggy, which was great! And the cookie dough pieces... YUM! I wish it was in a vanilla ice cream base because I didnt care for the brown butter base.
I know what was trying to be accomplished with the smashing of flavours in a small convenient container, but unfortunately, the mark was missed with this flavour.
I can't wait to try the other flavours though! So, Chapman's, I am willing to let you make me try more flavours!

About this product:
🛁 Helps protect pubic skin
🛁 Dermatologist & gynecologist tested
🛁 pH balanced
🛁 Formulated without parabens, dyes, fragrance, or silicone
Directions: Gently rub a small amount onto wet skin to form a light lather. Shave or use as a cleanser. Rinse thoroughly.
Review:
I wish this had existed when I first started shaving! I found that shaving gel/foam makes it really hard to see the area you are shaving, which can lead to an accidental cut. The 2-in-1 Cleanser + Shave Gel gives you a nice soft lather and gliding surface while allowing you to see what and where you are shaving. It comes out as a thick gel, but lightly lathers nicely and spreads over the pubic skin well. I found it worked amazingly for the pubic hair and skin as it felt like it softened the hair and protected the skin. I was left with nice, smooth and hydrated pubic skin. It also has no fragrance, which is nice.
Overall, a great shaving gel that I will use from now on!

Gillette Venus Pubic Hair and Skin Razor

First off, I love the new campaign from Gillette Venus to normalize talk around pubic hair and our body! They want to emphasize using anatomically correct terms and destigmatize female pubic shaving! Even just now my auto-correct wanted to change pubic to "public"! We have strayed a bit too far and it's time we become comfortable again with our body and use the proper terms for specific areas without embarrassment or judgement.
About this product:
🛁 Dermatologist & gynecologist tested
🛁 Razor comes with 3 cartridges
🛁 Specifically designed to help protect pubic skin
The razor cartridge is specifically designed for pubic hair and skin because we all know that pubic hair is definitely more coarse than leg hair, while pubic skin is more fragile! Using any ol' razor can lead to irritation and/or the dreaded ingrown hairs, so not cool!
The Pubic Hair & Skin line from Gillette is geared toward helping to protect pubic skin. The patented Irritation Defense Bar "lets the blades remove hair while barely touching the skin". The razor is also equipped with a "precision trimmer on the back of the blades to help with tricky areas".
Review:
Throughout my lifetime I have tried sooo many different kinds and types of razors, so I was very curious to test this one out! Boy, am I impressed! The Gillette Venus Razor for Pubic Hair and Skin is magical! I had zero irritation, which in my books is unheard of, especially in the pubic region! The pubic area has so many angle challenges, that normally you come out of a pubic shave with something pulled! Finally, a razor company who has thought of this and knows that I'm not a flexible gymnast! Thank you! 💓 The razor has a sturdy handle with a great grip and strong razor blades. It won't break if you drop it! 🥺
I also love that Gillette has partnered with Terracycle to recycle used blades, razors, and packaging! ♻️ To get started visit:

Pairing my pubic shave with Gillette Venus 2-in-1 Cleanser + Shave Gel made the experience so much better!

Tired of expensive salon visits to wax the smallest of areas?
I was very happy to be selected for Parissa's 2023 Program! I got to try Parissa's Face & Lip Hot Wax for free from Parissa and Butterly in exchange for my honest review.
I recieved Parissa's:
-Face & Lip Hot Wax (no-strip wax) (100g)
-Ultra Soothe Oil (80ml)
The Face & Lip Hot Wax came with the hard wax in a metal canister, a couple of application sticks, and 5ml of the Ultra Soothe Oil. I tried two methods of heating the wax: in a bowl of hot water, which did not work and in a pan of water on the stove. I wish the wax came in a glass container to heat it in the microwave, which is what I was used to. I did have a couple of oopsies where I spilled some wax in the pan and of course while trying to clean it, I dumped a bunch on my glass cutting board! Urg! Not to worry, like candle wax, I let it cool and it came off! Phew!
Now to the actual waxing! I did a test strip on my wrist and all was good, so I moved to my upper lip. I liked how the quick guide reminds you which way to apply the wax and it was great I to not have to mess around with any strips! The hair came off very easily, with the actual waxing only taking a few minutes. It took more time to heat it up! The results were great and effective! My upper lip feels so smooth! I really like that this is a green wax alternative, plus i couldn't tell the difference. I also feel good using it!
I used the Ultra Soothe Oil, which helps prevent redness and bumps. It contains essential oils: chamomile, peppermint, eucalyptus, cypress, and as well sea berry and vitamin E. It felt really nice and soothing.
Both the Hot Wax and Ultra Soothe Oil are advertised as vegan and natural.
Thank you Parissa and Butterly for this experience!

Aveeno's body wash is super nourishing while providing a great cleanse! It lathers easy and creates a nice foam. Half a teaspoon of the body wash does my whole body, so a little goes a long way! I have also shaved with the body wash when in a pinch and it works great! My skin never feels tight after showering, which is astonishing given the colder weather and the indoor dry heat. I like the light scent and find it isn't overpowering. It's a great product! -

I love that it now comes in a refill pouch! So smart! The pouch has a great spout to ensure easy pouring without spillage or waste. The spout has a nice closure, so you don't have to worry about leakage or resealing the pouch. The only downside is trying to figure out how to, or if it is possible, to recycle the pouch?
From the website provided next to the recycle indicator, it appears the pouch is not yet accepted for recycling. The website provided: how2recycle.info was interesting, but mostly US-based information even though I was under the Canada tab. I didn't know the site existed, so at least I learned a few new things about recycling.
I feel like this pouch is going in the right direction, but to be better, it needs to be recyclable in Canada.

Let's face it, deodorant is a tad on the routine side, so I love it when my stick is witty! Thank you Butterly, Chickadvisor and Hello for providing me this product for free in exchange for my honest review! 💕
I received:
🌿 Hello's Deodorant with Charcoal in the scent Clean + Fresh (73g)
It has clear instructions "apply to underarms only. think happy thoughts. smile, you've got this."! Too funny! 🤣 This is the first deodorant I have tried that contains charcoal, so the grey colour surprised me at first. I have to say that it worked great! The deodorant glides on nicely with no pulling or clumps left behind. The Clean + Fresh scent smells really nice and isn't overpowering. I also liked the extra detail of the "hello" imprint on the deodorant. I feel like it shows that the brand cares and will take the extra step to make the client feel special. It's a nice touch. 😊
I think besides it actually working, the best part is that it has: no aluminum, no baking soda, no parabens, isn't tested on animals, and is dermalogically tested, vegan, made from globally sourced ingredients, and only contains natural fragrance!
Overall, a hit in my books! I will be using this product from now on!
