So far in my books, Aveeno can do no wrong. I have been blown away by every product I have ever tried from them! When I was given the opportunity to review this new offering in exchange for an honest review I jumped at the chance. Aveeno delivers again! This lovely lotion sinks nicely and quickly into the skin after a shower not leaving any strange sticky residue that some moisturizers seem to leave behind in their wake. The skin feels moisturized and soft. The scent doesn't clash with your chosen perfume either, which to me is always a good thing. Its gentle enough that I am sure it could be used on facial skin too, which would be an economical score! Great product, but that seems to always be the case with this brand. -

I am a huge fan of Aveeno products. When I was given the opportunity to review this new offering in exchange for an honest review I jumped at the chance. Aveeno delivers again! This lovely bodywash is gentle on the skin, doesn't seem to trigger nor aggravate any dryness nor leave a film on your skin nor your tub! I also have to add that my mother has bad eczema and also is a huge fan of this product, I think it will become a regular staple in our household. The sturdy base and handy pump are nice design elements which make using this in the shower a safer option than lifting the entire bottle, which I also appreciate. Great product, but that seems to always be the case with this brand.

I am not sure about this product. I have loved everything else I have tried from the Hydro Boost line, their cleanser and Hydro Boost Gel Cream are particularly wonderful and effective. The now discontinued body gel cream was also fantastic on the face (why did you discontinue this product Neutrogena? Why?!). The serum however is less exciting. It stung upon first application. It sinks into the skin nicely but I feel like it doesn't do much of anything really. It feels interesting when you first apply it, the texture makes it feel like it will be effective somehow, but I don't see the point? The Gel Cream from this line feels like it continues to work well after application while this dissipates quickly. It seems like a silly unnecessary skincare step, it does nothing for me. I am not sure what type of skin this product is for, but its not very moisturizing at all. Perhaps as a light layer of moisture under makeup? I have no idea. I will use up this bottle but wont repurchase.
I got this product for free in exchange for an honest review. #freeproduct, #butterly, #productreview.

I have never used the old formulation of Hydro Boost, but this new version is incredible. I have naturally dry skin and when you add artificial heat and harsh Toronto winter winds to the mix, my skin gets pretty miserable this time of year. I like to slather my skin in a moisturizer at this point but I find they mostly just sit on the surface making my clothing, hair and pillow a mess. I also find other brands tend to make the skin sting. Not Hydro Boost! This sinks into the skin but leaves a nice comfortable and importantly clean, non-transferable film on the skin that feels light and not odd and artificial. The moisturizing properties seem to last the entire day/night and the benefits seem to build the longer the product is used. After two weeks of constant use, my skin physically feels transformed, no dry patches and it feels as though it is naturally moisturized.
The consistency is fun and the packaging is beautiful to boot.

Okay, so the hype on this one is legitimate. You get a decent amount in the tube, which happens to be metallic so you will get every last drop, this is a pro. It goes on smoothly and makes a fantastic base under makeup - another pro. It has some great claims and if they are true - a pro. The one and only con - and its a biggie - is the smell! I dont mind a little scent but this smells so strongly of lavender I worry it could cause a reaction with heavy repeated use. It also clashes with my fragrance. Also, lavender?! Why would I ever want to smell like my grandma's panty drawer? NOPE. I love this stuff, but its pricey and smells far too strong of lavender oil for my liking so for the pricetag and the scent I could never recommend this to anyone.

As someone with an Irsih/Scottish background, I am very fair and prone to sunburn and as a result, am an avid sunblock wearer. My skin is super dry too, espcially in winter. I find this Aveeno doubles as sun protection but also a nice barier in the cold winds of Toronto! It leave a slight white cast but this seems to even out my complexion, yet another unexpected bonus. Aveeno always agrees with my skin and I find their formals are never sticky. I do love this product but I am afraid for the price it is not worth the small amount in the tube. If on sale I would pick this up again in a heartbeat, however. I was given this product free from Butterly in exchange for my honest review. -

I have always loved McDonald's coffee, and having it available at home in K-cup form is very handy. This medium roast French vanilla offering is a great addition to the McCafe lineup, it is a warm custardy vanilla that is not overpowering whatsoever, it is a good dose of light toasty vanilla that does not overpower the flavour of coffee in any way. I see this becoming a regular in my coffee rotation. (Seriously, all the McCafe varieties I'v tried have delivered!).

I was sent this product about a week ago from Butterly.com so I have only had time to use it for short amount of time. I will say it is a lovely moisturiser, a cross between cream and lotion. It is moisturising without being sticky and light enough for use in Fall but should also carry me into winter! The tube is great as you can actually use up the entire contents. It seems unscented too which I appreciate. -

I was sent this product to review about a week ago from Butterly.com, which is not enough time to fully assess it but so far, I am impressed. This is a nice cleanser, it is very mild and seems unscented, which is a bonus for my sensitive skin but the removal of sulphates means using more product to effectively cleanse the skin. I like the pump, always a fan of a pump! I think this formulation will be especially soothing in the winter months when my skin is more prone to be parched. -

I was sent this product for review in early fall from Butterly.com, so I have only had about a week and a half to review it, not enough time to properly assess its effectiveness nor the best conditions to use this type of product. It is a heavy serum that is far more suited for Canadian winter months rather than mild fall ones. I think this product could do wonders in winter, but I would need to use it for more than a week and half to properly tell. The packing is impressive, though seems excessive and overly complicated, getting and equal amount of each of the serums is tricky, the product is meant to be used not only for display, surly. This in an expensive product and the jar will clearly never be fully used as the packaging does not allow for it. It is also excessively scented which seems to contradict claims of being good for your skin. Its a nice product, but finicky and not suitable for all seasons. I will use it up but there are far better, cheaper, non-scented and less annoyingly packed products out there. -
