I was selected to try out the Lancome Rénergie H.C.F triple serum for free from and here are my thoughts after trying this serum out for a week.
First off, the bottle of this product is sleek and very nice, it stands out from other brands. It does get greasy quite easily, not really a big deal as it can be cleaned off.
I did have to press the pump a good amount before the product started dispersing and not all three liquids came out. It was a struggle to remove the top from the base, but after I got it removed, I simply closed it and all 3 liquids came out perfectly.
An anti-aging triple serum product that targets fine lines, dark spots and the overall appearance of the skin. Count me in!
I’m at the age where the fine lines/wrinkles are making an appearance and loved the opportunity to try out this product, my skin needed this.
What does H.C.F stand for, because I for one did not know.
Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C & Niacinamide + Ferulic Acid, all 3 are in their own separate containers in the bottle and once pumped you can mix it and apply to the skin.
I was fortune enough not to breakout from using this serum as my skin is quite sensitive and I’m always afraid of trying something new on my skin.
I used this daily at night before applying my moisturizer and used roughly 2-3 pumps for the face & neck.
Instantly my skin feel extremely soft & hydrated, there was a faint scent to this serum but it wasn’t very noticeable and I did find my skin felt slightly tacky for a few minutes.
Now I can’t really say anything at this point if it improved the fine lines because one week is really not enough time for the skin to benefit from such a serum.
But overall I did like how much hydration this provided especially since my skin is leaning more on the dryer side these days.
I will continue using this daily, as I would really like to see how much it can improve the fine lines/wrinkles.

I was selected to try out samples of the @panoxyl_ca overnight spot patches for free from @thisisbutterly provided I try out the product and give my honest opinion.
I’ve never used this type of product before and didn’t think it would work.
At the time I received the samples, I didn’t have any active pimples but one week went by, and surprisingly my skin broke out over several days.
I used the smaller size patch on my chin and was worried it would come off during the night, but it didn’t! It stayed in place and I like how it’s not noticeable on my face, plus the layer of protection it provides means no unnecessary picking.
The next morning, I could see a difference in the size of the pimple, it didn’t disappear overnight, but it did reduce in size.
I didn’t apply the patch the next night, but the pimple did go away fairly quickly than usual.
Few days later, I used it on my cheek and the next morning, I didn’t see any difference, the size of the pimple remained the same.
I guess this is a hit or miss, it does work but won’t be effective for every single pimple.

I received the Alex Ultra advanced latex sealant for free from butterly provided I use the product and give my honest opinion.
This item couldn’t have come at a better time, I had a project on my list to get taken care of and kept putting it off until now.
My living room crown moulding was improperly installed and there’s a very noticeable gap between the ceiling and crown moulding.
I’ve always been debating whether to leave it as is or to cover the gap.
I used the dap sealant on the gap and it was fairly easy to use, the product dispersed very smoothly, didn’t leave any mess or odor and I was able to smooth out the caulk with my finger.
I don’t think I will paint over it, as I want it to remain white.
I only filled out a small area with the dap as I do have to move my furniture but this is something I will be doing over the weekend.
I made sure to seal the top of the nozzle very well so that it doesn’t dry out.

I was selected to try out Bai antioxidant Zambia Bing Cherry for free provided I give my honest opinion.
This drink is perfect to have especially in the hot weather, and I was craving something cold & refreshing.
Love that it’s only 10 calories per bottle and the fact that it only contains 1 gram of sugar was perfect.
I’m not the type to consume drinks with high amounts of sugar so I was quite excited to try this out.
This drink also contains 65mg of caffeine and 10grams of erythritol.
Now for the taste, I wasn’t expecting such a sweet flavor to come out of it.
It’s a combination of sweet & sour, but the sweetness overpowers the sour taste and I really liked it.

I received the hair remover prep & smooth face applicator for free provided I test & review the product based on my experience.
It’s been many years since I used nair hair remover and was excited to try this one out.
I really enjoyed the hands free applicator, very simple and mess free to apply, glides easily. Not sure if there was a scent to this product as I did not detect one when applying, but there is a light scent when removing the product.
Instructions are easy to follow through and I didn’t do a patch test prior as I have used nair products in the past. I made sure not to exceed 10 minutes of the applied product as that’s when the irritation can begin.
I applied this on my cheeks as I wanted to remove the peach fuzz and it worked great. Left it on for 5-7 minutes and removed with a damp cloth. Skin felt smooth and there was no irritation to the skin afterwards.

I was selected by Butterly to try out the new Van Houtte Classic Black medium roast Keurig pod for free and here’s what I thought.
This was fairly easy to make, insert Keurig pod into machine, throw some ice in a cup and add a splash of milk. (Instructions say not to use a glass during the brewing process as it can crack due to the heat) I used a mug and then transferred to a glass.
I used coffee ice cubes and they melted fairly quickly during the brewing process, so I added some regular ice cubes.
Instead of using milk, I opted for oat milk and I didn’t add any sweetener as I wanted to experience the taste as is.
Taste was refreshing and it was not bitter nor sour with a strong coffee flavor.
I like that I don’t need to use another machine to make an iced coffee, I can simply use the Keurig coffee machine and it’s quick to make a glass. Definitely something I will reach for more often in the summer.

I was selected to try out the new Chapmans super premium plus ice cream in the flavor cold brew coffee for free and it did not disappoint! I love drinking coffee and having the opportunity to try it in ice cream format had me stoked!
I don’t think there are many brand that make a good coffee flavored ice cream and the ones that I have tried in the past do not even come close to this one.
Chapmans cold brew coffee is simply delicious. It’s rich & creamy, not too sweet and you do get a taste of coffee that I really enjoyed as it was subtle. I’m sure this will pair really well with chocolate sauce on top!
I paired this with a homemade chocolate chip cookie.
This comes in one size which is 500ml and it’s more than enough to be enjoyed all to yourself or the other option is to share!
This is also peanut & nut free as well as egg free which is perfect for those who are allergic. Ice cream is made with 100% Canadian dairy.
I was curious where the coffee was from, so I looked it up on the Chapman’s website and the coffee is from Birch Bark Coffee Co and it’s an Indigenous owned business located in Ontario. Their coffee is certified organic and SPP fair trade. Also on the website states that a portions of the proceeds of this flavored ice cream will be donated to clean drinking water initiatives for Indigenous homes across Canada.
