I received the Grown Alchemist Skin Defense Primer from Butterly and Grown Alchemist for testing and review purposes.
I have been using this product regularily prior to applying my makeup and I can say this product leaves my skin smooth and well hydrated which is particularly key for making makeup look flawless.
The gel is super lightweight and non-greasy. It's a clear gel that is easily absorbed by the skin without leaving any residue or irritation. Its silky like texture leaves the skin feeling super soft and silky and helps provide a more matified look of the skin. There is a slight cooling effect when applied, which helps to minimize the look of pores and give the face a more fresh feel. There is a slight pine/citrus smell to the gel which is refreshing itself.
I apply a small dab to each cheek a dab on the forehead and massage it into my face. You really don't need a lot to cover the whole face and it dries pretty quickly so you don't need to wait long before applying makeup!

I recently started incorporating the Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Eye Gel into my daily face care routine. I apply the eye gel both in the morning and before bed to the under eye area to help improve the look of my under eyes.
The eye gel comes in a cute, petite, glass container that looks chic. The gel itself is white, but resembles more like a mixture of lotion and vaseline with regards to consistency and application, but the gel itself is not oily, greasy or sticky.
After washing my face, I apply a small dab under my eyes, patting gently until the is absorbed. The gel is absorbed instantly and leaves the under eyes feeling smooth and moisturized. It's quite gentle and light - you don't feel it once applied! The gel is gentle and creats a cooling effect, thanks to the colloid oatmeal and plant based retinol alternative formula. There was no irritation or redness at all.
After applying the gel for a while, I did notice improvement in the look of my undereye area. They appeared less dull, puffy and the skin more firm.

I recently started incorporating the Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum into my daily face care routine to improve the look and feel of my skin.
The serum comes in a mini pump dispenser which makes it very convenient and easy to apply. One - Two pumps is all you need!
The serum resembles a watery lotion. It is not sticky or greasy but quite light and gentle thanks to the colloidal oatmeal and plant-based retinol alternative. It goes on easily and gets absorbed into the skin quite quickly. The skin is left feeling hydrated and smooth. It did not cause any redness or irritation whatsoever.
It is also frangrant free so you don't have to worry about any irritating smells.
After using the serum for more than a week, I have noticed improvement in the appearance of the skin. It looks more strengthened, smooth and hydrated. My skin tone and texture has improved as well thanks to the antioxidant rich petides, cranberry extract and vitamin b3.

I use the Aveeno Baby Daily Lotion,daily on my child to help keep their skin moisturized and protected. Although it is frangrance free, I do detect a slight hint of a baby smell in the lotion.
The lotion itself is a nice consistency and quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving it feel hydrated for hours. There is no sticky or oily residue feeling once applied. It's forumalated with oatmeal which helps keep the skin smooth.
The formula is nice, light and gentle, perfect for my child's sensitive skin!

Received the Aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 free for review.
I was surprised to see that the cream itself is a light tinted peach colour. However it does not leave your skin looking tinted peach! The cream is odourless and gets absorbed into the skin quite quickly. Since my skin tone is a bit tinted, I did notice that initially the cream did leave my skin looking a bit lighter, however this faded away the more I rubbed the cream into my skin. There is no sticky residue or feeling that you're wearing cream/sunscreen.
The cream does leave the skin feeling moisturized and hydrated, even hours after of having applied it.
I like the fact that this cream has SPF 30 in it so that you don't have to apply sun screen on after or before you apply this cream.
I also like the fact that it's for sensitive skin so there is no worry of irritation and you know that it is gentle.

Recently received the adorable Paw Patrol Sky Helicopter to play with courtesy of ThisisButterly, Spinmaster and Nickelodeon.
The toy came with a miniture Skye figurine and a matching pink and grey helicopter with detail. The helicopter has real working wheels so that it can be pushed and move on the floor. Put Skye in the driver seat and on her way she goes! The top of the helicopter propeller spins as well! I love that the toy is eco-friendly, being consciously made from at least 65% recycled plastic. My 5 year old toddler just loves playing with it! This toy is recommended for ages 3+!

Recently tired the DAP White AMP Advanced Modified Polymer All Weather Window, Door and Siding Sealant courtesy of Butterly and DAP for sending this product for review. This out performed the typical silicone sealants. It was 100% waterproof. This came just in time as we have renovations going on at home. This came in handy in so many places that needed caulking - the washroom, laundry room and kitchen. The sealant is easy to use and goes on smoothly. It dries well but not too fast, just in case you make a mistake that you need to fix.

Recently used the Mighty Pimple Patch to help with a sudden breakout on my face.
I washed and dried my face. Placed the patch over my pimple and left it on throughout the day. Six hours later, I peeled it off and saw a white area on the patch which I assumed was gunk from the pimple.
The next day I noticed significant improvement in the pimple and that it already started healing, with less scarring then usual.
The patches are ordourless, clear and durable. I wore it during my workout and it stayed stuck to my face!
I got 36 patches in a box that were 12mm wide. Enough to last me a long time.

I absolutely love the Sambucol Black Elderberry Daily Immune Drink Power! It has a great taste to it and forces me to actually drink more water throughout the day to stay hydrated.
I simply mix packet of powder into my water bottle, give the bottle a good shake to make sure the powder is all absorbed, and on my way I go!
The powder is sugar free however, but the mix does taste berry sweet, even when I put the powder in more water than the recommended 4-8oz per pack.
The first ingredients listed are Vitamin C, Black Elderberry Extract which hopefully will give me immune system a boost by consuming this daily, especially with the winter months and cold/flu season upon us.

Cute aquaman figurine set. Great for kids that like to play with little figurines and/or are into aquaman. The figurines are a nice size, roughly 12cm in length. They're very detailed and look like the depicted characters - Aquaman, Black Manta, Manta Man, Shark Guard. Each one also comes with a little accessory, whether it be a pitch fork or a sword. They are very durable as well. Good quality. -
