I was looking forward to receiving NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Gel Cream, Fragrance Free to try for free from Butterfly. I appreciate the use of the glass jar which is recyclable. The gel-cream absorbs quickly, and leaves a smooth, non-shiny finish. Not quite matte, but no sheen either. My skin feels soft, and I haven't experienced any pilling, even when I tested it by rubbing my face. Overall, very happy with the performance and would buy in the future. -

I was excited to receive the AVEENO® Daily Moisturizing Body Scrub from Butterly. As winter gets closer I'm looking for a good way to keep my skin exfoliated and moisturized. The scrub is gentle enough to use regularly, and didn't irritate my skin. No overpowering fragrance, and easy to use with the bottle style. I wouldn't say it's the one to reach for if you are trying to resolve a really rough area, but it will keep skin soft. -
Rubik's Cube, 3x3
My son was happy to recieve this from Family Rated Club. He's played with other cubes before, but this one turns very smoothly. We both also noted the coloured parts are not just stickers which we appreciate.

We received the Orbeez Soothing Foot Spa from the Family Rated club. We always love the chance to play with others. They're so fun. Cool texture, putting the clear ones in water is cool looking. The foot spa has a really cool feature where it creates a waterfall of orbeez. It moves pretty slowly, which is good since orbeez are bouncy. And you can reverse it and watch the orbeez move backwards through the system. The way the orbeez are moved through the system does result in some crushed orbeez. But that doesn't take away the fun. -

This is absolutely my favorite item in this regimen.
The packaging is really nice and the product works well.
I use it a couple of times a week and it leaves my skin feeling clean, super soft, and not dried out.
It has a creamy texture with little polishing bits, that are not at all abrasive.
*I received this product for free through Chick Advisor's Product Review Club to test and review. #gotitfree

Like the other products in the line this one contains shimmer.
It sits on skin, you can feel it when you touch your skin.
It's an opaque sunscreen lotion, a bit on the thinner side consistency wise.
It has a similar perfume to the other products in this collection but it is not as strong as the others.
It works as expected, though when layered with the other products in the regimen only amplifies the pilling effect I've found when touching my face and along the hair line.
I've opted to use with other products to reduce the residue caused by layering with the rest of this line-up.
I don't plan to purchase again, it didn't perform any better than other moisturizing lotions with SPF, that don't leave a noticeable film/fragrance/shimmer.

I've had serums from Neutrogena in the past with the same style of bottle with dropper and they worked a lot better than this one.
Maybe the bottle I got is defective? The dropper barely picks anything up. This leads to several insertions to withdraw product, which can cause product to spill onto the outside. Where, if it dries along the rim of the bottle, becomes a gritty crust.
There is A LOT of shimmer/sparkle in this product. (Hence the gritty texture).
It has a strong fragrance, some may like it but I find it too strong.
It does not absorb into my skin. It seems to just sit on top. And when layered with the other products in the regimen contributes to the pilling effect I've noticed if I rub my face, even gently, or along the hairline.
While my face looks brighter I think it's primarily a result of the shimmer in the product and the way it sits on the skin creating a sheen.
Not something I would choose to purchase in the future.

First the pros:
Love the packaging
My skin definitely LOOKS brighter
My skin is soft
What I don't love:
Very chemical-y smell
Sits on my skin, I can feel in throughout the day and it actually pills if I rub my face
I think the "brightening" it does is the shimmer, it seems to be a lot of shimmer suspended in a gel
The way it sits on my skin also has a bit of a sheen to it - I'm not sure if this is good or bad. It increases the brightening look but I worry about what impact it will have on my skin, if it's going to create congestion in pores.
Not sure I would recommend this, and I don't plan to purchase it.

Batiste Waterless Cleansing Foam with Coconut Milk

Dry shampoo is a big part of my routine because I really do not love washing my hair, it's exhausting and time consuming.
While I love dry shampoo even the best ones can leave a bit of a texture that I don't love. This waterless cleansing foam is the answer.
It makes my hair look and smell great, like lots of dry shampoos, but it also makes my hair feel great. It feels clean and light.
The instructions say to dispense into hands and then rub it in but I find that challenging as it really only gets to the first section it touches. I've found that dispensing little blobs right onto my part and then rubbing it in, moving my part as I work my way through works well. It dries more quickly than I expected, which is a bonus. I was worried I'd end up looking greasy.
I know some dry shampoos can leave a film that can be noticed when washing the hair the traditional way but I haven't experienced that with this foam. If anything my hair feels more conditioned when I'm washing it.
Definitely buying this in the future.

Loving how soft and fresh my skin is after using this for several days.
I had started by using it twice daily as a part of my usual cleansing and moisturizing routine but started noticing a dry patch starting after a couple of days so switched to once a day only for the retinol oil and the patch was gone in less than two days. And now my skin is soft and glowy, no makeup needed.
Five drops is all it takes, smooth it over my skin and let it sink in before applying a moisturizer.
Definitely recommend!
