The box arrived in perfect condition but the tube had burst open at the bottom when I opened it. From the cap the toothpaste poured out like a thick liquid and I was not going to try it. I will wait for shelves to be restocked with a newer batch and repurchase on my own later as it sounds good to get rid of the stains from the dental rinse prescribed from my surgery. -

The brush looks imposing and like it could be rought but feels very nice, and soft enough to not irritate sensitive gums if brushing gently. There is a tongue cleaner on the back and a texturized grip to help control the brushing. The different height bristles help reach angles quicker, the rubber bits don't seem to do too much though. Overall, I really love this for a manual brush. -

Targeted to sensitive, dry skin, the lotion aims to moisturize while improving skin resilience.
Formulated with Aloe, Pro-vitamin B5, and Aveeno's highest concentration of Prebiotic Oats.
Light, easily absorbed though best applied over damp skin especiallyright after showering, the lotion provides moisture and light irritation relief. I don't find it as moisturizing as a cream, or as soothing as other Aveeno products, but for a lotion, it's pretty good.
It's fragrance-free, as well as paraben- and dye-free, non-comedogenic and allergy tested.
There is Dimethicone, meant to help lock in moisture.

Targeting sensitive, distressed dry skin, the wash aims to strengthen skin with use while providing a soothing & hydrating cleansing experience.
Formulated with Oats, Aloe, and Pro-vitamin B5.
Silky and a bit viscous, fragrance-free, it lathers relatively well and rinses cleanly without drying skin.
I enjoyed it.

Butterly and Aveeno sent me the Eczema Care Daily Moisturizing Cream to try free in exchange for my honest review.
I get flares in a few places, usually triggered by stress or the environment. I have been seeing signs so I was happy to receive this cream. I applied it after showering and whenever I felt hints of itchiness. I feel like it's been working. While I still got a bit itchy, a flare never fully materialized, and was kept under control. My skin also felt nicely moisturized.
The cream is based around a triple Oat formula, and while there is Dimethicone, it's use is well explained on the Aveeno website and I appreciate it in this formulation as it locks the cream in.
Creamy, non-greasy, fragrance-free, paraben-free and steroid-free.

The tube is elegant and massive. I love the blue logo on matte black. While this is the biggest mascara I have ever held, it was easy to grasp and maneuver.
I love the tapered shape, I got into the inner and outer corners with ease, and built up where needed. My lashes are naturally much thinner on my left. The Lash Clash built that side up to match the right without looking overdone. The mascara didn't smear, flake or clump all day. My eyes can be sensitive and felt great.
This is best removed with an oil-based product. Micellar will do it, but it takes more effort. My lashes looked and felt good after removal, like they had a lash spa day!
This is a mascara I will gladly invest in.

I love coffee, and I love having a special treat when I start work, even working from home. Butterly and Van Houtte sent me the Hazelnut flavored Keurig compatible Brew Over Ice Medium Roast pods to try free in exchange for my honest opinion.
Brewable by any Keurig or Keurig compatible machine, using the brew over ice or strong function, the coffee is strong enough to hold up to ice. The flavor melds with the cold to wake and delight the senses.
My machine works best to brew it separately and then pour the coffee over an ice filled tumbler. I like mine with milk, especially in the morning, when I want my coffee sharp, rich, yet velvet smooth. I prefer to not add sugar, and the coffee is balanced enough to not require it. The Hazelnut is evident both in the scent and taste of the coffee. It's a true delight without added sweetness. It makes the early week so much more pleasant.

Butterly and Panoxyl sent me a sample strip of the PM Blemish Aftercare Brightening Patches to try free in exchange for my honest review.
The blemish is gone but it partied hard and left a mess. What do you reach for? Brightening patches have entered the chat.
Not the same hydrocolloid patches we reach for the help make the blemishes disappear, these patches are clinically proven to reduce the look of the dark spots often left behind as post-acne (or pimple/blemish) marks.
They are a large size and triangular shaped, to be able to cover larger surfaces with a single patch. Because no one really likes to look like a polka dot pattern at night, right?
I was sent 4 patches to test with. I cannot speak to results over 10 days, but I can say that the patches adhered well and did not cause irritation. I suffer from hormonal breakouts, and as a pasty person, they can leave some very dark and enduring marks, often in very visible areas. These marks take a LONG time to fade, even with good skincare habits. Within my testing period, I could see some improvement in the mark I was testing on, one that has stayed dark for months. The improvement was minor, but this mark has been insanely stubborn and I only had 3 overnights (I had to do a patch test, pun intended) to test, so I am pleased with the results.

You know those hot, sultry summer days when the sun is shining, you're having a great time, and all you want is something refreshing to pick up your senses? This is the scent for those moments. It's the glass of fresh lemonade at the beach or on the terrasse, sweet yet lightly tart, perfectly refreshing.
Rollerballs don't work well on me in general, so I can't accurately speak to silage and longevity with the bottle I was sent, but I am very tempted to purchase a spray bottle and have a go.
This is a new must have beachy vibes scent!

Butterly and Neutrogena sent me the popular Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF60 to try free in exchange for my honest review. Unfortunately, my sunscreen met with an extreme period of Canadian winter during shipping and there were some consequences.
With HELIOPLEX, Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen SPF60 provides UVA & UVB protection with a Dry-Touch, ultra-light and non-shiny finish, and us recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association.
Focus ingredients: Homosalate 15%, Octocrylene 10%, Octisalate 5%, Avobenzone 3%. - no Oxybenzone to prevent sensitivity.
There are some skincare ingredients, but also Dimethicone and parfum.
Scent is mild, however not bothersome.
Due to my sunscreen's unfortunate polar experience, I received it as a solid block that had to defrost.
Therefore, I will give a lot of leeway as the sunscreen I squeeze out of the tube is broken, with excess oil dripping out, and an uneven application and feel. I have friends that use this sunscreen, and theirs come out like a cream.
If I mix it on my hand, it blends back a bit, and applies well, but it feels a little chalky and I do get a white cast.
I blame the freezing for this.
Closer to the summer, I will purchase a new tube to try again. I don't think I have been able to see this sunscreen's true potential through no fault of its own.
