I received this AVEENO Calm + Restore Daily Gel Moisturizer for free in exchange for my review. This product is a light textured, milky gel cream. It spreads easily and absorbs quickly. I didn’t notice any fragrance. It moisturizes just as well as a thicker lotion but without the greasiness. I hate having to wait for my lotion to soak in so this will be perfect for me this summer. I tend to have sensitive skin that is extra dry and this body moisturizer hydrates very well with no irritation or stinging. It feels cool and soothing and absorbs instantly. I’ve found my new summer body lotion! -

This moisturizer is a nice basic facial lotion. It has ingredients to moisturize and soothe the skin including niacinamide. It spreads easily and soaks in well leaving behind a satin finish. There is no stinging or irritation. Every time I have used this my skin has felt so soft and it feels like it is soothing and lessening my redness. I’ve been using it at night after cleanser and serum, and for day before sunscreen. It seems to play well with my sunscreen with no pilling or flaking. I received this product for free in exchange for my sincere review. -

I have combination/dry skin with my cheeks being dry and my T-zone being prone to shine. I also have visible pores on my nose. This primer is a thick gel texture and spreads easily over my skin. It feels velvety on my face and is matte without being drying. It has a blurring effect and my pores were less noticeable. I wore a powder foundation and blush over the top of the primer. There was no piling or flaking. It kept my makeup looking fresh all day and I experienced minimal shine on my forehead and nose.

At this point of mid-winter my skin gets dry with flaky patches, rough texture, and redness. Most sunscreens sting a little and emphasize the dryness, or they are too oily and leave me shiny. It is hard to get the balance just right. This moisturizer with sunscreen gets it right on all fronts. It moisturizes the dry patches, soothes the redness, and leaves a nice satin finish. My skin feels smooth and protected from the dry winter air.
The product is thick but spreads easily and absorbs quickly. I'm very pale and it blends in perfectly. When it comes out of the tube it has a pink beige tint like a primer and I have found that it works like a primer too. It plays well with others. Layering with serums or foundation is no problem. There is no pilling or flaking. It is moisturizing enough that I don’t need a moisturizer underneath like I usually do with other sunscreens. This truly is a moisturizer first. An SPF 30 is enough for me on an average day where I’m not spending a lot of time outdoors. This is a one step and I’m out the door product and I truly appreciate that it is so quick and easy. #GotItFree #Butterly

I usually use too many plastic sandwich bags and am always looking for eco-friendly options to replace them. I like that this can go in the freezer or microwave and be washed in the dishwasher. I'm not sure that I would trust the seal to hold liquids but it is great for little snacks like fruit and veggies, nuts or cookies. It would fit a sandwich on standard bread but isn't big enough for a more elaborate sandwich. It does fit an entire pack of wafer cookies. It's a nice size to throw in a bag or larger purse. -

I received this product free from Chapman's and Butterly for review. The ice cream is perfectly white and scoops out easily. The taste is a very clean and pure tasting vanilla that doesn't taste artificial. It has a really short ingredient list with no ingredients I don't recognize. It tastes pure and clean because it is! I really like that it isn't too sweet but it is very rich I felt satisfied with a smaller amount because it was so creamy. I think it tastes like really good, homemade whipped cream. Totally delicious and my new favourite vanilla ice cream. I don't think I could go back to any other brand now I've had the best! -

This milky serum is what to use if you have been disappointed in the lack of results from other retinols. When you want to pull out the big guns this is what you want! That said you really want to start slowly with this one. I actually put a layer of moisturizer under it to be a bit of a buffer and that has been working great for me and I've had no irritation. My after-acne red marks have faded and my scowling wrinkles (lol!) are less noticeable. I really like the pleasant texture of the serum. -

I've been using retinol off and on for a while but my skin can be sensitive to it if I go overboard and use it too often. This one might be the exception and I could use it every day! The airless pump is genius and dispenses perfectly without having to dip my fingers into a jar. Yuck! The cream is fairly thick but smooth and applies easily. It soaks in quickly and doesn't leave me greasy. It feels very moisturizing and even soothing. I have found that the imperfections in my skin are less visible and the texture is very smooth. -

I have dry, sensitive skin and often have dry patches. I'm always concerned about liquid foundations settling into my pores and emphasizing my dryness. It wasn't an issue with this foundation which applied very smoothly over my sunscreen and blended easily. It leaves a natural finish and covers my redness and occasional breakout. Even though it has good coverage it doesn't feel like anything on my skin. I have used this on several sweaty, active days and it does not transfer or slide off. It lasts all day until I take it off. -

I am a victim of the 90's "skinny brow" and sadly they never grew back. I also have blonde brows so even where I have brows the blend into my skin and I often look like I have no brows. Brow products are very important to me and I feel like I have tried them all! This L'Oréal Paris Eyebrow Pencil Brow Stylist Definer is a super skinny pencil that allows drawing in each individual hair which makes for a more natural look. I found the pencil was a bit hard so it needs to be warmed up a bit before use. I live in the cold mountains so I think this would not be an issue for most people. I love that the pencil is waterproof. No one wants their brows to wash away in the rain! The blonde colour is natural looking and not too orange. -
