Ohhhhhh, nice and THICK but not greasy. Perfect for the cold, biting, dry, prairie winters! This came at a perfect time to test out, in the middle of winter. I am a bit of germaphobe and I wash my hands a lot.. so they do get dried out and sometimes even my thumb and pointer finger tips can crack and bleed. This L' Occitane 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream seemed to actually help and the fragrance in it wasn't overwhelming or irritating. On that note though, there is fragrance and it reminds me of my Gramma but not in a bad type of way. Powdery perhaps. Just reminds me of a fragrance that I would smell that she used! It is comforting but I can see that it could be quite distracting if you don't like this fragrance or fragranced products.
This handcream is THICK! I love the texture especially in the winter and it really does bring moisture and nourishment to my paws! I didn't realize that there is other percentages of shea butter hand cream in their line up, that's really a great idea. I have sensory issues but this hand cream doesn't irritate them, which is HUGEEEE for me. It does take a bit to soak in but once it does, my hands feel so incredibly hydrated and happy. I didn't even have to use a lot of it to get relief, so I know this tube will last me a long time. I may have to invest in a tube key though to get the product out most effectively, and sort of wish I had one sent along but, eh, that's a first world problem.
My Mom also suffers from especially dry hands in the winter and when she was at my house, she used this and she even noted how much that it helped her hands. Momma bear approval is always a good thing to note.
All in all, I'm super stoked on this and I have no complaints honestly. Yes this is an incentivized review but I really don't have any legit complaints.

Poptastic - Spicy Canadian Cheddah Popcorn
Ohhhhh yessss!!! Loved it, my man loved it too! Perfectly balanced flavours, light and airy, no NAUGHTY ingredients, and as a chronic illness patient I gotta be very aware of that! The cheddar and spice are balanced so lovely and I enjoyed these... +
Ohhhhh yessss!!! Loved it, my man loved it too! Perfectly balanced flavours, light and airy, no NAUGHTY ingredients, and as a chronic illness patient I gotta be very aware of that! The cheddar and spice are balanced so lovely and I enjoyed these while watching a summer storm roll in. Nothing too spicy, just enough spice to hit the palate nicely. Really happy with this and I will always give me honest review, especially with food! Mmmmm… going to grab a few more. This bag won’t last long here in our household!

was expecting to be slapped in the face with whipped cream and very photorealistic cherry sent. But this is not that. It's not that or dream I was dreaming of. It's more of a fruity floral with a vanilla type of scent which I do like, but it's just not what I was expecting. I give it a 7 1/2 out of 10. It's just Beautiful, but just not what I was expecting out of a fragrance called whipped cherry.
It actually reminds me a lot of Baccarat 540 but a lot more affordable and it's a very clean fragrance house.
Which I fully support. I got a lot of coconut water on the opening and pineapple in the heart notes and more so on the dry down I got, vanilla, and praline which I adored. It is gorgeous, I would purchase, The longevity was moderate, and the cage was a nice little scent bubble, not too strong, but not too skin scent until later on into the evening. I could wear this morning or night, the blossoms from the flowers in it make it wearable for the day. all in all I would definitely wear it again and I would recommend it to my friends and family!

Ahhh! I was sent out from Butterly two shades and I prefer this one! I love it! It actually keeps my lips that are forever chapped, moisturized and lend a lovely splash of colour. This is definitely like if a lipstick and a lip oil had a baby. I’ve seen people who didn’t like the scent but I really didn’t mind it one bit. This isn’t transfer proof but honestly, I don’t care. I love this, it doesn’t make my lips look cracked, they loook lush and moisturized and the shade is soooo cute, I’m quite pale and it makes my skin tone and blue green eyes pop ! Beauty. The only downfall is the price point! -

Ah ok, it’s giving me “clean girl” summer & laundry vibes. Absolutely not a bad thing, probably just not my type of scent. I was stoked to be sent this out to test since I always try to expand my fragrance horizons, which I like more dark, sweet, unisex leaning fragrances(I would actually love to smell this on any gender) but I like more of a gourmand/vanilla, spicy, compared to watery notes and clean fresh notes like this, but this will be really nice for the warmer weather, and I’m so stoked that it is a clean. fragrance. It’s hydrating to the skin, alcohol-free, cruelty-free, and I really really wish all fragrances could be like that. The longevity is not too bad, I put it on overnight and I could smell it FAINTLY in morning, but this is fully a skin scent, it doesn’t have much projection. Someone can smell it if they hug you/if they’re close to you, so just bear that in mind, especially if you like more of a projection in your fragrances.
All in all, I’ll be keeping this around for warmer weather, not one of my faves, but that is just my fragrance preference. For someone who likes fresh, clean smelling and watery fragrances, this is for you. Also, I really enjoy the smell of laundry, but so many laundry detergents have such toxic chemicals in them, so I’m actually stoked that I have some thing to wear that isn’t just full of toxic chemicals and is a perfume. With all that being said, it’s a win!

Sambucol Powdered Drink Immunity Cold & Flu Relief + Vitamin C

I was so excited to receive this product since I’m such a big fan of elderberry products, I’m a big believer in natural health remedies. I believe in traditional health remedies, too, but I’d like to favour natural medicine when I can.
I love that there was no artificial flavours in this, no artificial colors, it tasted absolutely divine, I would drink it every day if I could, the reason I can’t is because of the added vitamin C in it and it’s in the form of ascorbic acid. I actually suffer from painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis, so ascorbic acid, flares my bladder up along with other certain foods and drinks. I’m very bummed out about that, since I love this product, and I believe so much in the immune boosting properties of the elderberry, and the effects can have on peoples joints, can actually help with bowel movements as well, full of antioxidants, and all that jazz. So sadly with this product, I won’t be able to continue, but I would always support Sambucol and their original formula since that did not upset my bladder. Just being honest, I know it’s a very personal reason, but maybe if someone else reads this out there that has painful bladder syndrome, and they know that ascorbic acid flares them, they can steer away, and maybe try the original formula instead. Thank you so much for sending this out to me, this is my total honest review!

I have bought the CosRX pimple patches now for years, before they became viral on socials. I was very pleased with them. I then was lucky enough to be sent out the PanOxyl PM overnight spot patches. I usually am rocking one or two pimples at all times due to hormones & hormonal imbalances around my chin and lately under my jaw or near my jaw. Annoying. But! These guys worked like a charm, sucked the gunk out overnight (make sure to cleanse before & apply on not moisturized skin!) , took away the tempting idea to pick at the pimple and voila, next day woke up to my big white heads flattened down!!! Stoked!! Absolutely will repurchase! I forgot to take pics but please take my word for it! I’m a happy camper. I also have worn patches out doing errands since they are pretty clear. Only someone who is pretty close can notice but eh, if someone notices them, who cares! Would be nice to do little cute designs instead of just clear as well, maybe in future? Hearts, stars, etc?! -
