Let me start by saying that it's not my first time attempting to quit smoking and sadly I'm still working on it. Years ago,I had already tried the Nicorette Lozenges and really loved them so I was happy to give the newest version a try thanks to Nicorette and Butterly.
Sadly, those were disappointing. They are ultimately very different from the previous ones. They work very well and they do help a lot with the cravings which is great but everything else is different.
They're larger in size which makes it more inconvenient while trying to discreetly have one in public. They dissolve too quickly, turn into a weird mushy paste and I personally find them way too sweet compared to the previous ones.
The packaging also changed to a newer version with 85% less plastic which is a great idea. However. they're extremely hard to open. I couldn't open them and ended up having a box that I can't close.
Even though they're effective, I wouldn't buy them for those reasons. The older version was much better.

Thank you @this is butterly and @cleanbeauty_collective for giving me the chance to try this perfume for free in exchange for my honest opinion !
First, let's talk about the fragrance. It's a very lovely, sweet and light nectarine fragrance. It could be worn all year but would be more fitting for spring and summer in my opinion.
Second, even though I loved the smell, it's not a fragrance I would purchase again. I love strong scented products and this one is not strong enough for me. It's too light and even though I've tried to apply more of it later on, I still can't really smell it as much as I'd like to. The rollerball made a difference also. I'm very used to sprays and I generally prefer sprays simply because I find it quicker and easier to apply.
Second, it didn't last on my skin. Other than the scent being too light for me, it just didn't last. By mid-day, I could barely smell it. Sadly this fragrance didn't work out for me. Of course everybody's different and if you're looking for a light scented fragrance then this could be a great option for you !
I'm still glad I got to try it ! This is exactly why I love trying out products before buying. Some works out great for me and some don't. Thank you @butterly and
@cleanbeauty_collective for this opportunity.

I was glad I got to try these PanOxyl patches. I've been struggling with anxiety for years and I regularly have big acne breakouts that left me with dark spots and scars. Looking at them everyday had been bothering me more and more and it was time to try and do something about it.
These patches were awesome. They're extremely easy to apply/remove and the trianle shape is great since some spots are hard to get to and the regular shaped patches I've tried before just don't work or don't stay in place .The dark spots I have mostly around my chin are less visible now and my skin feels softer and smoother. Thank you so much @panoxyl and @butterly for this opportunity. I'll be buying more for future breakouts.

*I got this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion*
Before trying out this Aveeno Calm + restore age renewal serums (face and eyes) I was very reluctant to apply any sort of anti-aging cream/serum. Most of the brands I've tried caused big breakouts and I've generally stayed away from it ever since.
BUT since I got selected to try these two from Aveeno, I gave it another go and let me tell you, they're awesome !
I've applied both for almost 4 weeks now and I feel a lot better and a lot more confident with how my skin looks.
The age renewal serum is made for sensitive skin. It contains cranberry extract, vitamin B3 and colloidal oatmeal which is known for soothing skin. The first time I applied it, I was surprised at how smooth, fresh and cool my face instantly felt. The gel consistency is very pleasant to apply and it does not stick ! In fact I was able to apply make up right after. After almost 4 weeks my skin looks and feels so much better and I'm also starting to see a difference with the look of fine lines and wrinkles. This is a game changer for me and I'll be buying more !
The eye gel worked just as good. It contains the same ingredients and just like the face serum, is fragrance free. I've been battling with insomnia for years and it's been causing a lot of darkness and puffiness around my eyes that definitely didn't make me feel good. Well, this serum is slowly boosting my self-esteem. After about 10 days, I started seeing a difference. The skin around my eyes looked so much better. Just not as dark and red as it used to be.
Please give those two a big chance and grab them asap. I promise it will give you a boost on top of moisturizing your skin perfectly.
Thank you Aveeno for not only making my skin feel and look better but for giving me some self esteem back. You never disappoint !

Please note that I got this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion.
This one couldn't have arrived at a better time. Especially during the winter months, my little one's eczema tend to flare up and my oldest has been complaining about how itchy her feet and legs are after school.
Aveeno just gave me exactly what my little one needed ! This cream worked wonders ! The dry patches she had on legs were almost completely gone after applying the cream two days in a row after her bath.
This moisturizing cream, made with colloidal oatmeal, looks thick in consistency but it's actually lightweight, extremely easy to apply and it soothes the skin almost instantly. Because it's made for dry skin, there is almost no scent to it which perfectly makes sense since scented products tend to be more irritating for the skin. It's also paraben-free and phthalate-free !
It's not sticky at all if you use the right amount. Less is always better. You don't need to use a lot. I only applied a small amount and rubbed it in and it worked perfectly. I had no issues getting my daughter dressed after applying the cream.
If you child suffers from eczema or dry skin, run and get this cream ! It's totally worth it and will make your little one or yourself feel a lot better ! Thank you Aveeno and Butterly. I will be purchasing again

I've been wanting to try this one for over a year and I was so happy to finally have to chance to do so.
It's a nice design, lightweight and mostly fairly quiet and painless. I usually shave everyday and particularly in the winter, I get really bad skin rashes after using a regular razor. I've been using the Flawless hair remover for over a week now and I'm yet to experience any rashes which is awesome! It's painless and so easy to use. Just go over the area you want to shave in small circular motions and you're done. Completely painless and it didn't cause any sort of dry skin or irritation. I will definitely recommend this product if you suffer from dry skin and if you're tired of buying disposable razors!
The only downside for me was to only have one mode for power. I had to go over some areas of my face multiple times and sometimes having to use tweezers afterwards to get the hairs in tricky areas that this razor has a hard time getting to. Also, it would also be very convenient to not have to use batteries. A corded option would be great!
Either way, I definitely recommend this product and I will keep using mine. Thank you butterly!

Aveeno has been one of my favorite brands for about 5 years now. From adults and kids wash and shampoo, moisturizer to cleansers etc, everything has been working great for me and my family so far and I've been very lucky to be selected so many times to try out new products.
A few months back, I had been selected to receive two of their calm and restore products which I absolutely loved and still use to this day. This time, I've been selected to try out a new calm and restore product : the calm and restore daily moisturizer that includes a uva/uvb protection.
I really wanted to love this one too but it simply didn't work for me at all. First, the texture is very very different from what I'm used to from all the Aveeno products I've tried/use. It's very thick and the cream is clearly tinted. I don't specifically have a pale or dark skin, I'm pretty average, but this cream immediately made my skin look a lot paler than it actually is. It actually looked exactly like applying sunscreen. Except this product is primarily advertised as a daily moisturizer and shouldn't make the skin paler.
Second, it's very hard to apply. It sticks to the skin right away and overall, it was just difficult to rub it in. I thought the stickiness would pass and I even waited longer than normal before applying make-up but the stickiness didn't improve. I had a hard time putting on make up after this and it's not what I'm looking for in a moisturizer.
I used a cleanser about 12 hours after applying this moisturizer and removing it was also difficult. It felt like having a sticky mask on and it took quite a bit of scrubbing to feel fresh and clean.
I think this product should be more advertised as a sunscreen than a moisturizer. It felt the exact same. Being in Nova Scotia, I can not review it on the sunscreen part since it's dead winter and the sunny days are definitely not here yet.
This cream wasn't for me but I'm still very glad I had the chance to give it a try. Thank you Aveeno and butterly ! I will keep enjoying the Aveeno products I've been using so far and can't wait to try out more.

I received this product in exchange for my honest opinion. Thank you butterly and grown alchemist!
This was the first time I've ever used any grown alchemist products. I've heard about them but never had the opportunity to give it a try. And I'm very pleased I got that chance.
Let me start with the restorative body cream. I've used it for about 9 days now and I'm very happy with the results. I used it day and night and after 9 days, my skin feels significantly softer and hydrated/moisturized as promised. The winter here in Nova Scotia has been rough on my skin and this cream helped me so much the last week or so.
Plant-based and containing ingredients such as shea butter, jojoba oil and mandarin oil, this cream is pleasantly non-greasy and does not feel sticky at all after applying it. The pump is easy to use and the consistency is very pleasant and easy to apply. You really don't need to apply a lot to feel a difference. Less is more !
The scent with this one is rosemary and bergamot. The scent is okay but I'd much prefer a fresher or sweeter scent.
After looking at the Grown Alchemist's website, their products and this cream are on the higher price range but in my opinion, very well worth it. I will be looking at trying other products from this company

Even though it worked the same as the cream in terms of getting a smooth, soft and clean skin immediately after applying it, I wouldn't purchase this one again. I'm very particular about shower gels and the fact that it does not lather really bothers me. The gel consistency here again is easy to apply but I somewhat need a shower gel to lather to feel refreshed and I find I ended up using way too much product every time I had a shower.
Also the scent is not my favorite. While it is nice if you like anything herbal, it's too strong for me and I'd again much prefer an actual energizing scent. I find the word "energize" to be misleading. I wouldn't expect an herbal scent associated with the "energize" word. Most of the shower gels that are labeled as "energizing" are usually based on a fruity or citrus scent. Herbal scents sound more relaxing or calming than energizing so that would be maybe something to think about on the company's side.
Overall, it was still a very nice discovery and I will be purchasing different products from this company since the body cream was great.
Thank you butterly and grown alchemist for this opportunity!
