Review time : Bella Aura -Daily Repair Moisturizer
Sometimes step after step of a skin care routine is just so extra! It is nice to find a 6 in 1 formula that can simplify that routine.
A lightweight non greasy, fast absorbing texture is just the thing for easy skin care routine.
Formulated with a powerful antioxidant and blended with Daisy Flower extract, Vitamin E, Black Oats and Lecithin. These ingredients help with Hydration, barrier Rapair, Brightening, Soothing and Antioxidant repair. Firmness, skin texture and resilience is improved.
I found his product to be fast and easy to work with. It works well under a makeup routine. It left my skin plump and comfortable. I do wish it had a better scent during the application, but that is a trade off when products are formulated without added fragrance.
Other benefits worth mentioning :
It is a Canadian made brand
No Synthetic Dyes
No Silicones
No Alcohol
Dermatologist Tested
Cruelty Free
Clinically proven Actives

Review time --AOR's Zinc-Copper Balance --
Being in the early months of a new year, our resolutions are still fresh in our mind. It is safe to say that a healthier lifestyle is commonly at the top of people's resolutions. I find it is the smaller goals and habits that make it easier to continue month to month. AND what is smaller than a small daily vitamin!? I have been trying the AOR Zinc-Copper Balance for a few weeks now. Being the cold winter months, this is a welcomed vitamin as it helps Maintain the immune system!
Zinc is known for its important role in the immune system. Zinc is essential for the function of white blood cells to protect the body from invasion from bacteria and viruses. Zinc also helps to regulate inflammation and wound healing. It is a key factor in the formation and healing of connective tissues. This in turn can help with the structure and flexibility of skin, hair and nails.
Copper helps to produce and repair connective tissues , form red blood cells and maintain normal iron transport in the body.
All these benefits are packed into a small pill format which is very easy to swallow! A bonus for me, is it has no taste !
While I have yet to finish a full bottle, immune support is always welcome and on the vain side of a resolution, who wouldn't want healthy hair skin and nails ;)
Another brand bonus is that it is a Canadian brand, and I am always happy to help support!

Can a gal that has been getting Gel overlay on her nails for years now, benefit from a Nail and Cuticle Oil?? Certainly! The first week after getting my nails done, my Cuticles look fabulous! However, around week 2+ the damage of being a chronic nail picker starts to show. Adding the L'Occitane Nail and Cuticle Oil had definitely helped keep the unsightly dryness away. With ingredients such as 30% Shea Oil, Apricot and Almond Oil, my Nail absolutely look more hydrated and healthy.
I do like this product, but am not thrilled by the scent. The scent does dissipate after not too long, so it is a minor concern.

NEOSTRATA -Rebound Sculpting Cream
When a company with over 40+ years of skincare innovation makes a product claim, you pop that box open and give the product a try!
I have know about Neostrata Canada products for about 20 years now. This company has always been on the forefront of scientific skincare breakthroughs.
My skin has enjoyed many of their products over the years.
I was given the opportunity to try out the Rebound Sculpting Cream from Butterly.
I found this product to be very lightweight yet pack a rich moisturizing punch. It has a nice dry down with a slight tightening effect. At this time I do not have a serum from Neostrata Canada to pair with it, but it has layered nicely over top of the serum and eye cream I am currently using. Sun protection products are suggested to apply over top and no pilling has been noticed.
While I have noticed that the pump can be a little temperamental, it works best when the product is kept with the cap/pump part facing down. This is even noted on the box. I will continue to apply the product till it is finished to get a full evaluation of how my skin responded to it.

If you are looking for a Mineral Sunscreen for Sensitive skin that is good for the whole family, Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen has a great options.
While the brand has a range of textures and application methods available, I received the lotion to try!
I did appreciate the fact that even though it is a Mineral Sunscreen-with the notorious white cast- the product does in fact dry clear after application. For myself that would be one of the largest bonus factors. Other features would be the higher SPF of 50 and the 80 minute waterproof claim. SPF is very important to me and I apply it everyday. With sunny days in the forecast, it's comforting to have a good sun protection at hand.

This product is tricky to review. I have used similar products in the past. Just like those, sometimes I have great results and sometimes my pimple is simply not it a good state for something like this to work well on.
I will say, they aren't as sticky as some other brands that I've used. I wonder if maybe that didn't provide a good enough suction? However, those other brands are a bit of a pain to pull off in the morning.
I would still recommend this product since I am a believer in 'You have to try it to see if it works for you.' -Specially for breakout products. For something that is very low commitment and easy to do, it's worth a try!

The Zarbee's Baby Immunity Syrup couldn't have been delivered at a better time. Thank you to Butterly for selecting me to review this product.
Even with summer upon us, we still get the odd family cold going around. That indeed has been the case. As soon as I received this product to test, I started giving it to me 1 year old daughter. I myself take a Zinc supplement everyday, so I definitely like the idea for my little one-considering the developing immune system.
As for the taste, no fight needed to get my girl to take the medicine. She seemed to enjoy the taste and that made giving it very easy/pleasant. I also like the fact that Zarbee's brand is Inspired by nature but backed by science. As well as the claim "What you won’t find in our solutions are alcohol, dyes, artificial sweeteners, or artificial flavours." It gives a parent some peace of mind.

This was a lovely first product to review. I've had over 20 years experience in the makeup and beauty world and it is great to see the liquid/cream blush trend coming back around. With so many options out there, the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint has a unique quality to it. I received #50.5 ROSY PEACH to try.
The description states that it is a "long-lasting liquid blush with a high colour impact that boasts a 12-hour wear for the perfect summer glow. This water-in-oil emulsion skin-fusing liquid blush is inspired by lip technology to create long lasting playful looks."
At first touch, I did find it had an interesting texture. It wasn't until I looked into the description that I pinpointed the feel to be similar to a velvet liquid lipstick. I have applied it with my fingers, a classic blush brush (my preferred method), a sponge and a dense foundation brush. I can confirm that it blends out very nice with all those application methods- very user friendly. I have also applied it with a variety or primers and without and for me, the longwearing holds true. Most impressive is my wear test-I always try out new products with a sweaty gym session. The blush didn't move!!
I also found the coulour payoff to indeed be very playful. I noticed that before you blend the product out, the colour seems to be a lighter tone compared to once it is blended. The true colour really comes out!
One downside, however not a deal breaker, is I did wish this blush was a slight bit more radiant. Now I understand that 'Luminous Silk' is probably more of a category this Cheek Tint falls under (within the product line) vs a description of the product texture, but you can't blame a gal for wanting more *glow*. I think satin or velvet would be a good texture description.
All in all, I have been impressed with the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint and would certainly consider picking up a few more. Heck! #53 BOLD PINK is already calling my name !
