Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Moisturizer:
I love that it can also be used on hands too. Delivers on its non-greasy promise and totally not tacky at all either! Absorbs into skin nicely and quickly allowing me to not have to wait forever to get dressed. Love the way this feels on my skin! Left my skin feeling smooth and hydrated. Also soothed my dry itchy skin and felt like it was protected.

I’ve waxed my brows my whole life no problem but in the past 2 years I noticed my skin can not handle it anymore. I’ve always used the same professional brand of wax but all of a sudden I started having serious bad reactions out of nowhere. Plucking would take forever, so I resorted to dermablading them but putting an ultra sharp microblade to that thin area of skin was scary. I didn’t feel comfortable maintaining my brows this way so I kept putting it off which left my brows to grow out into a mess. Ugh! I didn’t know what to do, so when I got accepted by Butterly to try Finishing Touch Flawless Brows for free in exchange for my honest review I thought, omg this just might be the answer I need!
First, let me start off by saying, it does not tug and really is completely painless.
The first time I used it, my brows were fully grown in (longer hair) and the device had trouble “picking up” the hair. It took awhile and I had to keep going over the same spot so many times to finally have it eventually grabbing hairs. This absolutely did not irritate my skin at all but was tedious. After awhile the job was done. So yes, it did do what it’s intended to do but with a lot of effort.
I then thought maybe it would work easier when they start to grow back in. Maybe the shorter hair sticks out more than the longer hairs (laying flat against the skin) ..making it easier for the device to grab? So I did it again with the new growth and it was a bit more easier and quicker.
This is a GREAT option if you are highly sensitive or get bad reactions to waxing but keep in mind you’ll have to put some work into it…passing over the same spots multiple times. Honestly though, NO irritation AT ALL, no matter how long I was there in the same spot over again. Waxing or dermablading is quicker and easier but for girls where that is no longer an option, this is a life saver…or should I say a brow saver!
I tried searching online if there’s replacement heads and I did not see any, which means you’d have to buy a whole new device.
I still want to experiment, practice and get the hang of this product but so far I think it’s worth it for me.

Here’s the thing that shook me, I could swear this was silicone based due to the look and texture. The way it glided onto my skin so effortlessly, the way it made my skin noticeably smoother to the touch instantly BUT WITHOUT that heavy silicone feel. I went onto Sephora’s website just to double check and yah …IT’S SILICONE FREE! 🤯
It comes out looking thick at first but glides on and melts into skin. It’s so lightweight and super hydrating. Felt like my skin could breathe still which is not the case with my usual silicone based primer. This felt like heaven on my skin.
It visibly blurred but did not work miracles on my pores is what I initially thought but the next day when I used it again I used more product on my textured areas and wow wow wow! I swear it’s puzzling how it can erase my pores like magic and yet feel so light and hydrating!
A little goes a long way, so little product is needed. It glides all over skin easily and you can go back to add more just to troubled areas.
It matted my skin only slightly which I do prefer. It won’t leave you looking flat, dull or dry like some matte products do. This delivers a perfect balance, you’ll look healthy but not oily.
Scent is super clean and pleasant.
Did not pill or have any difficulty applying makeup on top.

This has got to be in my TOP 3 favourite products that I was lucky enough to discover and try from Butterly. This is a product I would have not normally bought (I usually buy heavier moisturizers and without spf) so I’m happy I got this opportunity because I ended up LOVING this product and would definitely 100% buy this and recommend it.
The texture is light, easy to spread onto skin, glides on nicely and absorbs quickly. No greasy feeling at application, I currently have combination skin that can get oily at T-zones depending what product I use but this stayed non-greasy throughout the day and no signs of oiliness whatsoever even by the end of the day.
Don’t let the colour of the product fool you, It’s tinted but not like a tinted foundation, it completely melts and disappears into skin leaving a gorgeous glow!!!!! This is not glittery at all once you rub it in and it absorbs. It may look like that at first but the end result is a lit within, natural, healthy sheen. I’ve bought actual luminizers that didn’t even deliver on this level.
The spf 30 is an added bonus!
If you have super dry skin, not sure if this would cut it but I definitely think this would be a perfect summer time moisturizer for drier skin. Perfect for sensitive skin and did not break me out at all.
Moisturizer, spf protection AND makes me glow?! Talk about a multi-tasker. Great for my lazy days where I don’t feel great but still wanna look great ..but also don’t wanna use 8 products great lol.
Slap this baby on and let’s rock! 🤘♥️

The packaging is second to none. A box of 36 patches in total is hygienically packed with 3 sheets of 12 all individually sealed. A perforated slit down each row of patches for easy and quick removal.
I noticed the patch was way thicker and more noticeable than the brand I recently got into. Since you’re wearing these to sleep at night it’s no biggie but also Hero Cosmetics does offer a more “invisible” patch for day use.
I read somewhere that the thicker the hydrocolloid patch is, the more “gunk” it can hold. This would be great for people who suffer from really big pus-filled pimples. I usually get a few very small superficial ones during that “special month” but this week I ended up getting a huge, deep, painful one and the Mighty Patch Original made it completely disappear overnight! All it took was 1 single patch in 1 night, I didn’t even have to use another patch the following night. It was GONE! These are a life saver before a big event and a surprise pimple pops up!!
I would highly recommend these for people who suffer from huge, deep, pus-filled breakouts.

First of all, I am so blown away by the quality and taste of this! Sambucol Black Elderberry powdered drink for Immunity cold and flu relief + Vitamin C was quick and easy to prepare. Dissolves completely with just a gentle stir of a spoon! No tiny clumps floating around or grit. No weird artificial taste.
Great full flavour!! Tastes like jello or a kool-aid. Super refreshing. Very enjoyable to drink, tastes like an actual yummy juice you would just buy anyway but with the benefits of Elderberry and Vitamin C.
This is Sweet without being nauseating and without the weird aftertaste most powdered drinks have.
The recommended amount of water to mix it with is 100-200ml, I found myself wanting to put around an extra 50-100ml (but I didn’t in case it diluted what was needed for it to be effective).
Please note that I also add extra water to juices and lemonades I buy anyway so this is a “me” thing lol. I just really like the taste of things watered down a bit. But the actual flavour was very very delicious!
After the first serving, I was actually looking forward to drinking the next one.
This product can be taken once daily for immune support or 1-3x a day when you’re sick to relieve symptoms. It retails for around $20 for a pack of 30 sachets which is great. That’s a month’s worth of daily immunity support but it’s also a great price and totally worth it if you want it just to treat symptoms when sick instead of buying cough syrup or otc pills!!
I would definitely recommend and buy this product because of the quality, taste and convenience.
It would most definitely be a treat compared to other otc medicines which I do not take anyway when I’m sick. So I love and appreciate this being more natural as an alternative to that.

Let me tell you about the funny way that I first tested it...
I used Aveeno Texture + Tone scrub on the top of my left hand and used nothing on my right.
I then went to my mother and asked her to feel the tops of both hands.
She looked at me confused and all I said was “What do you notice? Do you notice anything?”
She touched again and said “This hand is smooth...like silk! It’s silky smooth and soft!” as she pointed to the left hand.
I then told her and she was amazed at the difference.
It was cool to see that she noticed without knowing a single thing.
I think I’m going to test more products out like this.😝
I tend to like an actual “scrub” for my body, one with a gritty texture. This was not gritty, it has a nice gel like texture with micro beads that are extremely gentle on skin. It was not harsh at all yet it worked amazingly. It is more like a body wash that exfoliates than a “scrub”.
It even has a nice little lather that I really liked!
No fragrance AT ALL!
I don’t know if it’s just me but I have found that a lot of Fragrance-Free products end up smelling straight up WEIRD to me. I would think fragrance-free meant NO scent but I sometimes find they have a smell to them anyway...and not a good one.
This was literally NO scent at all, it smelt like NOTHING 👍
I would definitely recommend this!
Especially for people who have sensitive skin!
Thank you Butterly and Aveeno for the opportunity to try it free!

Had the opportunity to try a full size bottle of Lancome Renergie H.C.L Triple Serum free from Butterly and Lancome in exchange for an honest review.
There was an actual noticeable difference in my skin within the first 4 days of using this (1x day). I have now started using it twice a day and can’t wait for the results.
My skin looks clearer, brighter AND PLUMPER! It definitely gave a more youthful and healthy appearance.
My lower face recently has lost volume and this definitely helped with a fuller appearance and also with “laugh lines”. I have bought multiple products aimed at this specifically that have not delivered. This area of the face is the hardest to target and improve without surgery. This is the main reason why I personally would buy this even at $170, because I actually seen now with my own eyes it made a difference.
The scent is lovely! I know most people do not like scents in their skincare but I LOVED it!
Instantly gives a glow and absorbs nicely into skin.
The bottle has 3 tiny nozzles that dispense 3 different components of the serum into one, so each component stays isolated and fresh in their own chamber insuring quality of the ingredient. I totally appreciate that!

Most of my skincare is geared towards anti-aging but I do get those annoying little breakouts (1-3 random pimples) when my dear monthly “friend” visits.
It is so annoying because it’s not something that needs an entire acne regimen or multiple products to add to my already huge arsenal of skin products. So a spot treatment is perfect in this case!
So, it was that magical time of the month when the PanOxyl PM Overnight Spot Patches arrived and I had 2 doozies on my face. Huge raised bumps, inflamed and red.. oh and I also had an event in 2 days!
I cleansed my skin, made sure it was clean and dry, applied the patches and went to bed. Woke up the next day and they were COMPLETELY flat and the redness was reduced drastically. They didn’t leave the spot dry and it healed nicely.
I’m a makeup gal so makeup can hide the redness but it made my job easier and I used less makeup to try to hide it (no caking it on which tends to make it look worse).
BUT when the actual pimple/bump is raised and sticks out, I will be completely honest and admit I do sometimes pick at it. (Usually if I have an event).
We are all guilty of picking, you try not to but I mean, makeup can’t hide the massive bump sticking out of your face and yah, that part bothers me and makes me insecure.
These PanOxyl PM Patches made them completely flat I couldn’t believe it...and neither could my brother lol! He had a doozie on his forehead and asked me to put one on him the next night. He was blown away in the morning.
I was so excited to try these, this was my first time using such a product and WOW!! I was seriously impressed! I have never used hydrocolloid acne patches before and I am truly amazed at the difference they make JUST OVERNIGHT! I have already ordered a pack and at around $10CAD for a product that works this well, it was a no brainer for me.
I received these free from Butterly and PanOxyl Canada in exchange for my honest review...and yes, I have already bought these within days of trying them. Game Changer!
