Thanks to Butterly I got to try this Hand Wash for free in exchange for my honest review. This hand wash is really good if you have dry hands because it does a great job at leaving your hands clean without stripping them of their natural oils. It has a clear gel texture and lathers only slightly. If you want it to lather a bit more try applying it to dry hands first and scrub, then add water. I find it to be very moisturizing. You can feel that the hyaluronic acid, almond and coconut oils work. It leaves my hands feeling soft and smooth. This soap is gentle and soothing but still effective at cleaning. The bottle does look really nice in my washroom. It is plastic but looks like amber glass. I don't find the scent to be strong. The scent is nice but I wish it was stronger like the scent of the matching hand cream. Overall, really good, especially in the winter when the weather is dry and we are all washing our hands often.

Thanks to Butterly I got to try this Hand Cream for free in exchange for my honest review. This hand cream is deeply moisturizing without being greasy or oily. When you first apply it, it smells like you just peeled a fresh orange. The scent is really bright and energizing. It absorbs quickly and leaves my hands feeling soft and moisturized without any leftover residue. After a few minutes the scent does become lighter so it won't clash with any perfumes you're wearing. The tube is a good size and it will last a long time because you only need a small amount of product for it to be effective. I also love that you can roll up the tube to get every last drop out when it is close to the end. For a luxury hand cream, it is actually well priced and has the added bonuses of being certified toxic free, cruelty free and vegan.

I received this Paderno classic non-stick champagne bronze fry pan for free to try in exchange for my honest review through Butterly #gotitfree. You can feel that this pan is high quality when you pick it up; it has some weight to it. This is the best non-stick coating I have used! Nothing sticks to it and the flat-rivet seamless interior makes it so easy to clean. The champagne colour is beautiful. I work from home so I'm usually the only one home for lunch. This pan is 10 inches so it's the perfect size for me to make lunch and/or side dishes in. I have made grilled cheese, skillet gnocchi with tomato sauce, pan fried perogies, sautéed veggies and more in this pan. Everything I have cooked has turned out amazing. This fry pan has great even heat distribution. You can really tell when pan frying perogies or caramelizing onions that it's all browning evenly and cooking at a consistent temperature across the pan. You can even put it in the oven up to 400°F. There are so many possibilities of things you can make in this pan. It's perfect for everyday use and I find myself reaching for it on a daily basis. I like it so much I think I'm going to buy another one to have as a backup. -

I received this NOMA SurfaceElite High Power Bagless Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner for free to try in exchange for my honest review through Butterly #gotitfree. This NOMA vacuum is corded and after using a cordless one for a long time this NOMA vacuum really is an upgrade. Corded vacuums just have so much more power, better suction and you never have to worry about running out of battery. I have dogs and this vacuum did a great job at picking up all their fur without clogging up the machine. The anti-tangle brush roll really is anti-tangle. It was very easy to put together. You only need a screwdriver for one part and then everything else just clicks into place. I love how light weight it is. The vacuum is less than 14lbs; this makes it easy to pick up and carry up/down stairs. I have both carpet and hardwood floors. This vacuum works great on both. It has FloorDetect Technology that automatically detects changing floor types and adjusts height for consistent performance trapping fine particles on hardwood floors and carpets. It is so easy to control and move around, you can do it with one hand. The LED Headlight is very useful to make sure you don't miss anything, especially under furniture. Overall, I really enjoy using this vacuum. -

I received this Listerine Antiseptic Cool Mint Mouthwash for free to try in exchange for my honest review through Butterly #gotitfree. We all put a lot of thought into our skincare and makeup routines but what about dental hygiene? It is just as important. Just like for beauty I want to choose products that are effective, easy to use and have good ingredients. Listerine checks all those boxes. I like that this mouthwash uses 3 essential oils from eucalyptus, mint and thyme; as well as a bit of alcohol to help fight bad breath, plaque and gum disease. It makes me feel good knowing that it kills up to 99.9% of germs. I can feel this working as I swish it around for 30 seconds, it does tingle a little bit. I love the way my mouth feels and tastes after using it! I feel fresh and confident as I go through the rest of my day. I also want to say that I love the cap on this. The child resistant cap on this is opened by squeezing it on the sides and turning. I find it easier for me to open. I prefer squeezing this one instead of the classic cap that you push down and turn to open. This mouthwash is a great addition to my routine and I will be buying another one once I finish this bottle. -

I received this Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum for free to try in exchange for my honest review through Butterly #gotitfree. Wow I am in love with this formula and the way that they packaged it. Not only does the bottle look beautiful on my vanity but it is so very clever. It has a triple chamber that separates all the active ingredients until you pump it, therefore everything stays fresher for longer. Most serums containing Vitamin C go bad 6 months after opening. Because of the way this serum is packaged it is good for 12 months. On top of the benefits of Vitamin C you are also getting Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide and Ferulic Acid. After using it for a few weeks my skin is smooth, plump, hydrated and bright. The texture of this serum is really unique because it has 3 textures; a thicker cream and 2 more watery runny textures. You use this product by pumping it into the palm of your hand and then mixing it a bit with your fingers before applying. Once it's on and has dried fully it is light weight and sits well under makeup. This is an anti-aging serum but really I think it works well for any age range. It does have a light scent but that didn't bother me. The only downside is you will get fingerprints all over the box and bottle. Other than that, it's a really well balanced non irritating formula with some of my favorite active ingredients. I am really happy I got the chance to add it to my skincare routine. -

I received this Refill Pouch of the Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Cleanser for free to try in exchange for my honest review through Butterly #gotitfree. This is not my first time using Aveeno refill pouches, I have also used their body wash pouches. These are quick and easy to use and this one for the cleanser was actually easier to open than the body wash one. It used to be a pull tab on the inside of the cap to break the seal but now it's on a small plastic nub on the outside that you snap off. For me this took a lot less effort. I love that these pouches hold 2X the amount of product because not only is it cutting down on plastic consumption, it's also saving me trips to the store. I love knowing I have a refill available for when I run out. I do like that the pouch is using 80% less plastic than buying 2 regular bottles and it's made with 30% post-consumer plastic. I do however wish the pouch itself was recyclable. The cleanser is a good cleanser if you have dry or sensitive skin. It is pretty different from other cleansers on the market. This one does not suds up or foam. The texture is like a melted cleansing balm or oil. I was impressed by how easily it washes off even though it has that milky cleansing balm texture. It is very hydrating and gentle. -

It is pretty different from other cleansers on the market. This one does not suds up or foam. The texture is like a melted cleansing balm or oil. I was impressed by how easily it washes off even though it has that milky cleansing balm texture. It is very hydrating and gentle. At the same time, it does a good job a washing away any dirt, dead skin or oil. I prefer to use it as part of my morning routine. I like locking in the hydration at the start or my day. It also leaves my skin very soft and smooth which is the perfect prep for my makeup application. If I use it at night, I use it as the second step of a double cleanse. After a long day of wearing makeup and sweat I do still prefer to use a foaming cleanser first and then follow up with the Aveeno Oat cleanser. The one thing I'm not a big fan of is the scent, it is fragrance free so it kind of smells a little oat like and grainy. It's hard to describe but the good news is it doesn't smell for long, the scent doesn't linger. I also love that the bottle is made of at least 30% post-consumer recycled plastic and you can buy ecofriendly refill pouches for it as well to cut down on plastic consumption. I have dry skin so it worked well for me but it might not be strong enough for people with oily skin. -

I received a sample size of these PanOxyl Overnight Spot Patches for free to try in exchange for my honest review through Butterly #gotitfree. I love acne dots/patches and have tried 3 or 4 brands so far. I find most brands work the same but the difference is price. These PanOxyl patches are more affordable than other brands and work the same if not better. I love that they are clear and discreet so you can technically get away with wearing them during the day as well. It is also nice that they come in 2 sizes; 9mm and 12mm. I found them to be effective at reducing size and redness of pimples overnight. They also help prevent picking/touching your face which could make the blemish worse. I found them to be sticky in a good way so if you toss and turn at night like me you don't have to worry about them falling off. Also love that they are made in the USA and Latex free. I do have to add that I found they work well on reducing and healing all acne but if you're expecting a puss-filled patch when you take it off that only happens if you use it on whiteheads that are already near the surface of your skin. The main result that I got was good reduction in size of bump/pimple and reduction in redness. -
