I like the idea of a glass jar for body lotion but the wide flattened shape is not very aesthetically appealing. The lotion itself is a lot thinner than I was expecting and it doesn't seem to absorb very well. I do like the scent, it is noticeable but not overly strong, with a light almond-like fragrance. It leaves skin feeling lightly hydrated and not greasy. Overall I was expecting something that felt a bit more luxurious and was a bit disappointed.

I received the Candy Glow Tinted Butter Balm in 3B complimentary for testing purposes from Butterly.
The 3B lip balm swatched light nude/peachy on my skin but was almost invisible when applied to my lips, even after multiple layers. It looked shimmery swatched on my arm but there didn't seem to be any actual glitter in it, and it just looked glowy and plump on the lips. It has a light fruity scent, somewhat like mango. There is no tingling/ plumping sensation. Although this is more like a regular balm than a tinted balm I do love the formula, it leaves lips very soft and hydrated feeling with no stickiness at all. Love the product but would go with another shade!

I received the Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in #65 complimentary for testing purposes from Butterly.
I really liked the color of the cheek tint, it looks like a natural flush on my skin. Unfortunately, I really disliked the formula. The pigment is far too concentrated and it dries down almost immediately after applying so there isn't time to blend it properly before it almost instantaneously dries, resulting in a very patchy look. It was very difficult to apply with just the fingers, which is my preferred method for liquid blushes, and while it was a bit better with a compact cream blush brush, it was too much work to get the product on well. I expected the staying power to be really good given how intensely pigmented it was but it actually didn't last that long on the skin, even with a setting spray. I usually love liquid blush formulas but I won't be using this one again unfortunately!

I received the Lubriderm® Original Body + Face Wash complimentary for testing purposes from Butterly.
I really like how easily this lathers and washes off. It was much more heavily scented then I was expecting for a hypoallergenic formula that is advertised as "lightly scented" but I did like the scent (hard to describe but it smells "clean"), and the body wash really is very hydrating and does not leave skin feeling stripped at all. It did feel too scented to use on my face, but I really liked it as a body wash and would definitely recommend it for that purpose. I also love that it is sulfate free, which is hard to find in a body wash!

I received the Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum Eye complimentary for testing purposes from Butterly.
While the packaging for this eye cream is quite unique it is very large and bulky for a 20 ml product, although I do appreciate that the pump is more hygienic than the usual tub style eye cream. The three separate product holes feels a bit gimmicky as I don't know of any reason that the active ingredients couldn't be pre-mixed as I've seen them in other products, and I wasted about 10 pumps of product from one of the holes before the other 2 started to have product coming out, so it was quite a waste of product and now I'll run out of that first one before I run out of the other 2, so overall it is quite wasteful packaging. Also, one full pump gives way too much product and it is a bit difficult to modulate the amount that comes out. Overall, I did not think this was good packaging at all. The eye cream itself has a medium cream texture and is quite scented. It does sting mildly on application. I didn't really notice much difference in my skin after using this product for about a week, but it does seem to have good ingredients so it may take longer to see results, however I would not repurchase this just because of the wasteful packaging alone.

I received the Georgia Armani Prisma Glass lip gloss complimentary from Butterly for review purposes.
I was surprised that the packaging looks and feels a bit cheap, I was expecting more luxe packaging. The applicator itself is also quite flimsy and does not provide a smooth application, you need to use several strokes to get a coat of gloss on, whereas I prefer lip gloss that you can apply in one swipe. There is no scent at all, and I generally prefer lightly scented lip products. The lip gloss itself has a very subtle pink color which I actually like, but may not provide enough color for some people. The finish is very shiny, and definitely looks like a gloss but feels very smooth like a balm. While it doesn't feel sticky at all on your lips it does stick to your hair unfortunately. Overall a pretty solid subtle lip gloss.

I like that the Aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Gel Moisturizer comes in a convenient pump bottle format, making it easy to use. The product is unscented, which is great for sensitive skin, and has a very light gel lotion consistency. It goes on very easily and quickly, however it does feel like it just sits on top of the skin for several minutes before fully absorbing, but does seem to absorb after a few minutes. It does make skin feel more hydrated but not as much as thicker lotions that I've used. This would make a great summer lotion but definitely not hydrating enough for the winter.

I received this product for free from Butterly for testing and review purposes.
I received the YSL Loveshine lip oil stick in two different colors, but apart from the colour the two products were very similar so most of this review applies to both. The packaging is beautiful and the lip oil stick has a noticeably tropical scent. The 44 shade is a neutral to cool light pink on my lips, with a subtle shimmer on swatching that is not very noticeable on application to the lips. I did have to blot after the initial application as the product settled into the lines of my lips but looked good after blotting out. It does give a very plump shine with a light wash of colour which I love, but may be disappointing if you are used to a more typical bullet lipstick. Unfortunately the formula does not last long on the lips and needs to be reapplied frequently. It feels very moisturizing. Overall, I loved this product but wish it were a bit longer lasting.

The Panoxyl PM balancing renewal moisturizer had a bit of an odd scent, not like typical moisturizer. I like the consistency, which was a medium thickness creamy lotion. Unfortunately as soon as I put this on my cheek it started to sting and my skin became slightly red so I had to wash it off. I regularly use the main active ingredients and do not generally have sensitive skin, so I'm not sure what could have caused the irritation. I did not use any other skin products while I was trying this, so it was not due to a cross-reaction or anything like that.

The Panoxyl oil control moisturizer feels much more like a mineral sunscreen than a moisturizer. It has a very thick sunscreen-like consistency, which was quite difficult to spread over the skin. It has a very dry matte finish which I actually prefer because my skin is quite oily, but it definitely does not feel moisturizing whatsoever. It has a medicated scent rather than the usual sunscreen fragrance. Even with use quite close to the eyes it did not cause any eye irritation throughout the day which was great. It definitely has great oil control throughout the day but is quite drying. Overall I would use this as a sunscreen but would use a separate moisturizer underneath.
