#gotitfree from @thisisbutterly and @lancomeofficial in exchange for my review and posting.
I received this a few days ago and have used it once a day, sometimes in the morning and sometimes at night.
I wanted to see how it preformed under makeup and if I could see the results overnight, since I read a review that mentioned she saw her pores shrink when she looked in the mirror the next day.🙈
My impression: At first it was tacky in texture and it took a long time to sink in, but this was because I was initially only getting one portion of the serum, with lots of pumping the multiple concentrates fused together and was much more creamy. It quickly absorbed into the drier areas of my combination skin, a little longer on my normal/T-zone area. 🧽
The next time I used it, my drier area was more hydrated and it absorbed evenly, so that alone gets my endorsement. 💧
I haven't seen a visible shrinkage in my pores; it preformed considerably well under my usual day cream and makeup. The scent has a rosy hint to it but dissipates. 🌹
The biggest negative, is the the pump; it's kinda flimsy and takes more pumping action than normally necessary to get any rewards. 🎉
I still would recommend this serum for hydration and if you're a Lancôme fan, this won't disappoint. 🏆
What Lancôme says:
A NEW TRIPLE-ACTION SERUM with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C + Niacinamide and Ferulic Acid.

When you're hot and don't want to be poppin' 🔥
PR Gifted 🎁@thisisbutterly to try and review @bai.canada Antioxidant Infusion Brasilia Blueberry flavor. 🫐
I was gifted a coupon, which sent me on a bit of a scavenger hunt, three stores later it felt like a win when I found it. I chose the Brasilia's Blueberry flavor from the half a dozen choices, but they do have more, just not in my area yet.🔎
Bai slogan is "It's Wonder Water."
I agree, this is a great alternative when you want a change from H2o; it brought me back to my childhood of Kool-Aid but adulting with the extra bonus of antioxidants and a touch of vitamin C.💦🍊
It isn't as flavorful as Kool - Aid, from what I remember, as this is naturally sweetened and not laden with sugar.
Although I found this quite sweet, my husband did not, so that's a matter of your individual taste buds. For me it had an after taste of sweet tea too.🫖
I felt well hydrated so I could see this as being change for people who want to put down the energy drinks or pop bottles and reach for something else that has flavor but isn't overwhelming.
It's the go-anywhere drink.
If you head over to Bai's web site they have drink recipes.🍸
🫐What Bai says: Each serving of Bai brings exotic fruit flavors infused with antioxidants. With 1 gram of sugar, 10 calories, and no artificial sweeteners, Bai is flavorful daily hydration and so much more.

Full discloser, I've been using Dr. Teal's Epsom Salts for years, not months, but years.
The scent is incredible, if you love the scent of walking in fields by the shoreline filled with wild berries, then the 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙀𝙡𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮 line is just what you need to fill your senses. It makes me happy.
I love using this as a foot soak, I like rubbing it first on my feet then soaking; I always feel as if my feet are pedi fresh afterwards.
Also I use it as an exfoliant, and I'll add it to a bubble bath.
100% I'll use this Epsom Salt it's a good clean inexpensive skin care add on.

Got it free from @chickadvisor @juicebeauty 𝘽𝙚𝙖𝙪𝙩𝙮 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘼𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙋𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙁𝙪𝙡𝙡 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙜𝙩𝙝 𝙀𝙭𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 Mask
When Juice Beauty says full strength, they mean it!
There are a good amount of alerts that you will feel tinging and flush when using this product, right from the jump when @thisisbutterly sent me an e-mail saying I was receiving this 𝙂𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝘼𝙥𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙋𝙚𝙚𝙡 it noted that in the expectations, so with an abundance of caution I proceeded with the task of trying out this mask.
My Impression -
I've had salon peels before, so I feel I am well equipped to compare.
The scent is like apple sauce spice, so very pleasing, and the texture is the like a smooth apple sauce.
The mask glides on and actually starts off cool. It gets tingling fast and starts to heat up. it's like you feel you are under a heat lamp and the temperature begins to built.
I didn't go beyond the 10 minutes as instructed, once washed off, my skin looked like I'd had too much sun, but it was smoother.
I still felt some warmth and the redness dissipated within 30 - 40 minutes; I suggest using this at night or on the weekend, personally I wouldn't apply make up right away, since it's such a deep exfoliation.
It stands up well to spa treatments, I'm going to use it maybe just twice a month because it's so potent, but Juice Beauty does say it can be used 1-2 times a week, I'm also going to use this as a treatment for my neck, décolleté and hands.
I recommend this if you are good with the type of sensations described.

A rediscovery.🔎
#Prgifted from @thisisbutterly @chickadvisor @clarinscanada Clarins Double Serum. 🎁
A decade or more ago I used to use Clarins, there would always be something in my skin care regime that included at least one of their products, but if you've follow me you might notice I dabble in many brands and can get swayed to switch to a product that is more effective in that space and time, our skins needs constantly change, so if a product hasn't moved on I do. 💗
Clarins Double Serum, is the 8th generation in this line, I may have used the 4th or even the 2nd generation.
Clarins product info -
Its unique double formula combines 21 potent plant extracts to boost the skin's 5 vital functions - regeneration, nutrition, oxygenation, hydration and protection - and act visibly on the signs of aging. Its double texture - a non-greasy oil and melting gel. For all skin types.💕
Insights
I'm happy I was given 7 day supply of the serum to test.
The scent is a minimal green citrus floral, my skin soaked in the serum beautifully, it's a water like texture, it's not sticky or greasy. I love the texture and how it feels. I've been using for five days not nights, I see that my skin is more radiant and hydrated. I have a lot of faith in this brand that long term it will come close to and meet it's promises. 🌟
Clarins also recommends a 3 step process to get the best results, which include warming, apply evenly, drain by pressing into your skin.
Are there any products you've used in the past and rediscovered?
Thank you for the L.O.V.E. 🥰
Have a spectacular day 🌹

I have developed a love for sleeping masks, it's an easy way to have a treatment for my skin while I sleep and I wake to a new, fresh me! 🙋♀️
Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Sleeping Mask - Creamy Revitalizing + Exfoliating Wash-Off or Overnight Face Mask with Matcha, PHA - Sulfate, Paraben + Cruelty-Free, Vegan. 🥑
My skin's texture has been improved and there's a soft glow that happened within two treatments.
I haven't had any irritation from the retinol, which was a concern of mine having developed some skin sensitivities over the last year with face masks and other products. 😷
The only negative is I have to wait twenty plus minutes for it to absorb into my skin before going to bed, which isn't a deal breaker for me. ⏱
I've read a couple of reviews and this had been a negative for others.
The scent is barely there; you have to sniff really hard to make out a clean earth note.🌿
The jar: packaging is top shelf and is intended for us to reuse.♻️
I can tell there was a lot of thought put into the brand design and jar repurposing.🎍

Hotter Than Hot - Is a white that changes to a preppy pink when cold; it isn't as dramatic of a color change as some of the other thermochromic nail polishes, but enough to amaze your friends. 🤯
The wear time is exceptional. I had three days wear time and I'm not one who goes easy on their nails or hands; the thermochromic was somewhat more durable than their neon polishes🔨
These photos were taken on day three and looking pretty close to flawless. 🔥
The brush is is wider and makes it easier to apply.

Had a wonderful delivery in my mailbox from @chickadvisor @thisisbutterly @shuuemura.
They *PRgifted me a 50ml bottle of ShuUemura ultime8∞ sublime beauty cleansing oil. 💝
The line is for anti aging; the key ingredients are tsubaki oil and tsubaki seeds cold pressed from the Camellia flower.🌺
Have you heard of this brand? I hadn't, so it's really new to me.
This is a cleanser that deep cleans enough to not only take away impurities, but it will also remove your make up without having to wash your face with another product, so that's a huge time-saving win. 🏆⏳
Use several drops of this medium-textured oil in the palm of your hands, gently massage into dry skin; this works great to begin the process of dissolving makeup. Next add a little water and it will turn a little milky, like a regular cleanser, and rinse thoroughly. If I have make up on, I do a combination of water, face cloth, more water, if no make up, just water.
This is an exceptional cleanser, so incredibly moisturizing without being oily. The texture of my skin afterwards feels totally cleansed, hydrated, and supple. 💦
Right now I'll use it for makeup days, but as the season changes it may become my evening cleanser of the season. 🌙
I Love it!

Gifted Thayers Facial Toner with Witch Hazel Unscented from @thayersnatural @thisisbutterly and @chickadvisor 🎁
I usually don't use toners, but I do use softeners as my next step in skincare after washing my face. I was asked what is the difference between the two. 😦
A toner usually has a healing benefit, shrinking pores, refreshes and absorbs excessive oil. 🌿
A softner Is for hydration and extra moisture, that penetrates to the deeper levels of your skin, preparing your skin to grab hold of the moister and ingredients in your serums and creams. 🧴
Thayers Facial Toner with Witch Hazel -
The beauty of this product is three things:
☝ It feels like a treatment to heal your skin, but is unscented so it's not like a prescription.
✌It immediately shrinks pores.
☝✌It has Aloe Vera, so it's not drying or stripping the skin that is normal or dry.
I started off using it once a day for seven days starting in the morning, checking to see if it might over-dry the parts of my skin that are normal - dry.
"Yay, it didn't!"👏
I kicked it up a notch to twice; still no issues of over-drying.🐪
The Aloe Vera is obviously what is providing the balance, so the Witch Hazel won't strip the skin.🌿
I do feel after a month of using my skin is smoother, redness diminished and pores are smaller for a portion of the day.🍦
It's a great value and I recommend it.
