I’m going to review this with the Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum, as I used the eye gel in combination with it. They are a great combo to soothe the skin and also brighten it up. I applied it regularly for several weeks as part of my skincare routine where I would cleanse, put on the serum and eye gel, and then moisturize on top. I found both products went on nicely and were not sticky as is sometimes the case with serums. They were smooth and absorbed quickly. They did not make too thick a layer with the moisturizer that I put on top and worked well together. It did not feel like I had much product on my face and I was comfortable all day. There is no scent to both products, which is good for those with sensitive skin and does not interfere with your regular moisturizer if that has a scent. I found after several weeks of use, my skin did look brighter and while I still have my main wrinkles, the under eye area seemed less dark. If I squint, the fine lines are still present so they did not eliminate them completely, but my skin does feel more hydrated and some fine lines are less noticeable at a quick glance.

This hair remover is a game changer. No more painful plucking, waxing or having to plan facial hair removal in advance when going away on vacations. This pocket sized remover takes hair away effortlessly and most importantly, painlessly! I had no pain when using it to remove hair off the delicate skin of my face. Its small size makes it easy to bring around on vacation or to keep available on the counter. The case is attractive and feminine, so even if people see it, it looks like a stylish device. I didn’t develop any ingrowns after use and no unsightly, itchy red spots flared up. It is user friendly and only requires one AA battery. Thanks to Butterly for sending me this great product to try!

This lotion is great for babies who have sensitive, eczema prone skin. My little guy suffers from eczema and it is a never ending battle to soothe his skin without using stronger, prescription drugs. This Aveeno cream has worked well for him in limiting minor flare ups and maintaining the moisture barrier. When applied to redder areas of the skin, multiple layers would be required to calm down the area and while the patches remained, they would not be as red. It is a good thickness to make it rich, but not so heavy that it becomes sticky. It spreads easily and absorbs quickly, as the babies can be active, moving targets! There is no scent, which is good for delicate skin and we don't worry about applying too much. This cream can be safely used multiple times a day.

This primer is excellent for those who want a solid foundation over which to apply their makeup. I have oily skin and this product mattifies in a way that also smooths out my pores, to an extent, and makes my skin appear far more even. It glides on easily and doesn’t require much effort to rub in. My makeup looked good for hours after layering over this primer. The scent is also lovely and makes me feel like I’m wearing perfume without needing to add the extra step. I have sensitive skin but this primer didn’t make me breakout. Thanks to Butterfly for sending this to me for free, it was a great trial!

This moisturizer is smooth and rich. It glides on nicely and absorbs quickly into the skin without feeling sticky. It’s often hard to find a moisturizer with 30 SPF that doesn’t feel greasy and make my skin oily, but this one is light and non-greasy. I don’t feel my glasses slipping down my nose throughout the day and I don’t feel the need to blot excessively. I always say it’s important to use a moisturizer with SPF and too often people realize this too late. This also blends in with all skin tones, so you don’t have to think twice about whether this will look good on you or not. Being busy juggling home and work life, I don’t want to think about moisturizing and then grabbing a separate sunscreen. This saves me the time with an effective 2 in 1! -

This cream is so smooth and keeps my skin moisturized for several hours. Despite being thick and rich, it is easy to apply and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. The citrus scent is refreshing and light, not too overpowering. I have sensitive skin and it did not cause any breakouts or rashes. I would definitely recommend this because it feels luxurious and a quality product, while actually being effective. The minimalist design is great to match our bathroom esthetic. Thank you Butterly for sending this to us!

We received this DAP Advanced Modified Polymer All Weather sealant for free and it works well to fill in all those gaps, nooks and crannies around the house. We used the product around our laundry room door where we had some cracks showing around the frame. It goes on nicely and easily comes out of the gun. It isn’t hard to smooth out and the colour blends well with our frames.
What makes this brand extra handy is it boasts several notable qualities:
-can be applied to wet surfaces
-dries to a flexible finish in 30 minutes
-100% waterproof and weatherproof (we also used this on the outside of the house where we had water leaking in through a window frame)
-minimal odour
This is a reliable material for DIY jobs and getting the house in tip top shape!

This patch really works and it’s better than other brands that I have tried. I have found other patches don’t adhere as well overnight and in the morning, sometimes they would already be peeling off. The Hero patch stayed fully stuck to my pimple all night and I saw the white spot on the patch in the morning, indicating that it had worked to draw out some of the gunk in the pimple. I had no irritation on the area where the patch was glued on and the pimple had flattened out significantly. I’m very happy with this product and would recommend it. -

This hand wash is quite good and is gentle on my sensitive skin while still taking off any debris. I used this for a while and never had any issues with itching or overdrying. The scent is light and fresh. We leave this in our main washroom and guests always ask where we got it because they like the smell. It can smell strong at first but it dissipates to a subtle amount quickly. Even a small dollop is sufficient to wash any dirt and I like the minimalist design. It matches nicely with other Grown Alchemist products if you're looking for a modern esthetic in the washroom.
