The Renewal serum is extra special it contains Ashwagandha which helps calm and elevate the body and mind, replenishes, rejuvenates and is a superfood for the skin.
It also contains Echinacea which helps reduce skin damage and has high levels of antioxidants which help prevent damage from free radicals- one of the leading causes of skin cancers and photoaging.
Niacinamide is another one of its star ingredients which lots of us already know it strengthen the skin barrier. It also softens fine lines, evens texture and improves uneven complexion.
These are just some of the many amazing benefits of this serum.
The renewal serum is one of my new favourite serums! I highly recommend it, as well as the Grown Alchemist brand as a whole.

Gifted in exchange for my honest review.
First of all I love trying out new foundations so I was very excited to get to test this one out!
It feels really nice and lightweight on the skin and was really easy to blend out. I tried applying it with my hands and my preferred method of foundation application- a sponge/beauty blender. I actually preferred to use my fingers with this one. I really like the packaging and one of my favourite things about it was the precise nozzle, it makes it very easy to control the amount of foundation you are using without wasting a single drop. I didn’t have to set it which for me is a huge plus as I don’t usually like to set my face with a powder I prefer a setting spray. Although I didn’t set it with powder it did have a slightly dry finish. I find it to be VERY full coverage almost too much coverage for my liking but I know some really love a full coverage foundation and this is definitely exactly that.
It also proved to be waterproof. Which makes this perfect for summer time or events where tears might happen. I coincidentally had a good cry while wearing this foundation and was surprised to see that there were no tear streaks or any budging to the foundation.
It was definitely long lasting and I wore it all day long from morning to late night. I didn’t wear it for 24 hours but definitely a good 12+ hours and it held up very well. I did zero touch ups and was surprised actually how well it adheres to the skin.
The one downside to me was that it settled into my fine lines and made my skin look a bit cakey even with a light application and a hydrating base.
Amazing shade range I love to see all of the available shades, I think everyone would be able to find a good shade match here.

The packaging is of course gorgeous and high quality with the traditional luxe YSL lipstick component. So beautiful and light catching.
The shade (44) Nude Lavalliere is a really pretty pale nude pink shade- it pairs beautifully with a lip liner.
On application it glides on very smoothly and feels like a nourishing lip oil/balm but has the colour and pigment of a high shine lipstick. It hydrates my lips deeply and is very comfortable and smooth on the lips.
I love the yummy sweet candy like scent and how nourishing it has been on my dry lips. It helps smooth out my lip lines and make my lips look and feel more plump and nourished all while looking pretty and shiny! It lasts long as well so no need for constant reapplication which is a huge plus!
Thank you Butterly & YSL for gifting me this in exchange for my honest thoughts.

The new fragrance free formula is perfect for skin that has sensitivity to fragrance. The ultra hydrating serum does an amazing job at deeply hydrating and nourishing my skin, it sinks into the skin like a drink of water and leaves my skin with a really nice healthy glow. It also feels great and lightweight like there’s nothing there. -
NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Gel Cream Extra-Dry
The gel cream feels so soothing on the skin I can imagine reaching for this a lot this summer after being outside in the sun because it’s so soothing and has such a cool refreshing feeling when applied.

One of the best waterproof mascaras I’ve tried! If you don’t like waterproof mascara then you will probably not enjoy this one. It’s a drier formula and it’s not very buildable (clumps if you apply too much!) but it works very well in my opinion. A little goes a long way and with one quick coat that’s all you need. It holds a curl in my lashes ( which not many mascaras can do!) and it passes the waterproof test (splashing my face repeatedly with water 😂). I wore it all day long with no smudging, or transfer although there was actually some minimal flaking. As it is a drier formula I can see this drying out quickly so not sure if I will be repurchasing but that will depend on how long it lasts me. YSL makes some of the best mascaras- my all time favourite mascara being from them- the YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils ( soooo good!). I definitely want to use this some more but overall so far I am really enjoying it and would recommend it for anyone looking for a waterproof mascara that does what it’s supposed to do. -

Thank you so much @thisisbutterly @chapmansicecream #gotitfree #trychapmanscanada
This Chapmans Super Premium Plus Cookie Jar ice cream is beyond delicious! Brown butter flavoured ice cream loaded with oatmeal cookie crumble, chocolate cookie chunks and cookie dough pieces. It’s like cookies and cream ice cream amped up to the max! One of my sons favourite ice cream flavours is cookies and cream, so he was beyond excited to try out this ice cream. 🍪 🍦 He couldn’t stop saying how delicious it was. We will definitely be repurchasing this and can’t wait to try the other flavours as well. It tastes super creamy and high quality and I can definitely see why it’s called super premium plus ice cream.
