I've been trying this TheraBreath Fresh Breath mouthwash in the Icy Mint Flavor (courtesy of Butterly) for the past couple of weeks. I was skeptical beforehand because I don't know many mouthwash brands and this one was new to me. The bottle is eye catching, effective, and easy to spot in my bathroom especially because I have a ton of things on my counters (between myself and the children).
The instructions are straight forward, but I used less than the recommended amount as I found that was too much in volume for me. The Icy Mint flavor is refreshing, made my mouth and breath feel super minty, but not to the point where it was burning. This does advertise for an all day freshness, but I didn't notice it, however I can say that my breath didn't go bad throughout the day, so maybe this did do it's job?
I did really like this mouthwash, in comparison to the other brands I've used in the past. I would totally recommend!

I received this caulking through Butterly and used it for some baseboard caulking that needed to be done. It was super easy to use and the end result was beautiful. I enjoyed that the product wasn't sticky, it glided on and was able to be smoothed out like a dream. Definitely recommend even for beginners.

I received this coffee through Butterly and tried it a few times in our espresso machine.
Upon opening the bag, I was pleasantly greeted by a warm, rich, banana scent. I found myself opening the bag here and there to smell the coffee beans, it was so lovely! I did sense a bit of ocean air as advertised, so I found that super unique.
I noticed that the beans are lighter in color compared to other beans I normally get, I don't know if that means anything or makes a difference in the coffee.
After making myself a cup of espresso with the beans, I did enjoy the scent of it. It was fruity, rich, chocolatey and banana like.
However I wasn't a big fan of the taste by itself. I found it acidic, and kind of sour, but can still sense the light banana sweetness with that salty air. I generally like to add cream and sweeteners to my coffee, and once I did that I found it was more to my taste.

I received this baby balm and wash and have been using it on my baby for a couple of weeks now. He's got drier skin with several patches of stubborn eczema. We have used many balms, lotions, soaps, etc, and it's always been a struggle. I will say after using this wash on him (he gets daily baths but we use soap maybe twice a week) and in combination with the balm, I have noticed his eczema has gotten better. Not totally healed but I think this is a great daily to help calm them and keep the rest of his skin nourished and protected. It has a very light oat scent to it, it doesn't suds up lots so I tend to apply a generous amount of this to get the kids really soapy and sudsy. It leaves their skin feeling soft and clean without stripping too much of their natural oils. I really like the Aveeno lines especially for kids, it's the brand I constantly go back to. -

We have used many balms, lotions, soaps, etc, and it's always been a struggle.

I received this through Butterly and tried using it with my 22 month old for about a week, but unfortunately he disliked the flavor, even if I tried to mix it into other foods for him. I think it may have been too tart for his liking and he is sensitive to new tastes. The cherry flavour did smell nice to me though, and the amber coloring makes me feel that there's no artificial coloring.
The packaging is simple, easy, and I do enjoy the child-proof dropper top. I will say the original cap did not seal well, even though it was supposed to be child-proof. If I twisted it the opposite way or pulled up even a little bit, the top would come right off. This did not happen with the dropper top though.
Otherwise I thought this was a clever way to help kids get extra vitamins in their diet, especially if they're picky with foods, just mine happened to be extra picky.

I got these through Butterly and tried them everyday for a couple weeks over some bad pimples.
They were super easy to apply, especially with that little extra tab. Normally when I peel off a patch from the sheet, I crinkle up an edge or fold it over completely, then contaminate the underside because my finger has touched it. But this little tab is genius, makes it so easy to apply.
It's a pretty affective patch, I find that there's so much gunk pulled from my pimple by the morning and has really helped speed up the healing process.
The only downside is if your pimple is on a spot where there's lots of movement (i.e. around the mouth) or if you're naturally oily, the patch doesn't adhere as well over time and can lift off. And it's practically impossible to readhere, you'd need to apply a new one.
Otherwise, this was really nice! I love that there's two different sizes too.

I recieved this Almond Milk Concentrate by @loccitane through @thisisbutterly and have been using this daily.
This is a very luxurious, silky, thick body cream that absorbs easily into the skin without leaving any sticky residue. Throughout the day my skin felt so soft and nourished, I found myself constantly touching my arms and smelling the lovely almond fragrance. The scent is a little strong so it might be too much for those who are sensitive to smells, but when it dries down, it leaves such a faint sweetness that I adore.
The container is made of glass and I'm totally going to reuse it for something else, maybe plants!
I love this lotion and might have to go get myself some more!

I received this through Butterly and used it three times a day for over a week. Packaging is cute, the pills are a good size, and when I open the bottle, there's a nice faint sweet scent. The supplements themselves are super easy to chew as they're a nice level of sweetness. I was pleasantly surprised that upon first chewing on them, they're not powdery and don't make me cough. I've had some chewable supplements that make it feel like I'm eating a mouthful of chalk powder.
Effectiveness wise, I feel like it did help with digesting my food, especially after heavy meals. I do enjoy this as its a nice, natural form without any harsh chemicals that seem to upset my stomach.

I recieved this Nourishing Whipped Almond Delicious Shower Body Cleanser by @loccitane through @thisisbutterly for free and have been using this for about two weeks!
This is a super thick, luxurious, and amazing body cleaner. It smells like yummy warm almonds in a spa, lathers up rich and foamy, and leaves the skin feeling super soft and nourished.
I will say that you have to use quite a bit of product in order to get a good lather, even with a loofa. So you might go through this very quickly. Without a loofa, it spreads easy, doesn't lather as great but still feels great.
It's kind of a pricy item, but would be awesome for self care days or as a gift! I'm not certain I would buy this for myself for regular use.
