I recently had the chance to try the @panoxyl_ca blemish brightening patches for free, courtesy of @thisisbutterly.
From time to time, my face would break out from stress or other environmental factors, so it's handy to have the PanOxyl patches on hand. I love how they are really thin and blend in very well with my skin tone. It practically disappears onto my skin. (See the second and third picture...Can you see where I applied the patch?) Since it's fairly translucent, I leave it on overnight and into the day sometimes.
The patch prevents me from touching the break out area so it stays clean and heals faster. They are decently sized triangular patches, and bends nicely to adhere to the curves of my face.
I look forward to the spot fading and texture improving effects as these patches contains niacinamide, vitamin C and tranexamic acid, but it's hard to test long term effectiveness with my sample packet. I would recommend it though since it's one of the easier to apply patches for acne breakouts.

Recently I had the opportunity to review the Listerine Total Care mouthwash from @thisisbutterly, for free.
I enjoyed how this formulation did not contain any alcohol, which was great as it didn't feel like my mouth was dried out The taste was also quite a bit milder than the traditional blue/green varients. While it may feel less harsh than other mouthwashes, my mouth still felt very clean after using it. It may be a good alternative for anyone who may have sensitive gums, but is still looking for an effective mouthwash for their oral care routine.
This Total Care product from @listerinecanada touts effectiveness in 8 different areas:
Kills bad breath germs
Prevents and reduces plaque
Prevents cavities
Protects from bad breath bacteria for up to 12 hours
Prevents and reduces gingivitis
Strengthens tooth enamel
Fights tartar
Helps keep teeth white
P.S. The pretty, light shade of purple was a bonus for me.

I was so excited to be selected for the YSL Loveshine Lipstick Campaign ! Thank you @thisisbutterly and @yslbeauty for sending these beautiful lipsticks to me free for a review 💋
The Loveshine Lipsticks arrived in golden boxes, which initially reminded me of gold sticks, lol. The barrels were a decent weight, so I can tell they were of high quality.
I received 150 - Nude Lingerie (a warm nude pink with sparkles) and 44 - Nude Lavalliere (an iconic pink nude). I particularly enjoy nude shades and these were just perfect for me. I am not a fan of most waxy lipsticks that dry my lips out, but these were the opposite of what I had expected. The YSL Loveshine Lipsticks contain 6 nourishing oils to provide hydration around the clock. Besides the beautiful shades these provide, I didn't mind the slight jelly-like scent from the lipsticks.
One thing that I found after using them throughout the day was that the color didn't stay for long after meals and drinks. Perhaps it may have been the lighter, nude shades I was testing that tend to come off easily. Otherwise, these kept my lips plump and visibly nourished. I have received several compliments on the colors as well as the shine ✨️

Thank you @thisisbutterly and @aveenoca for this opportunity to review the Eczema line of products for free.
With the change of seasons, my skin had been acting up and became more prone to rashes and mild eczema symptoms. I'm thankful that there is a familiar and trustworthy brand that helps treat my skin !
I got to try Aveeno's Eczema Care Daily Moisturizing Cream and Rescue Relief Gel and both were excellent in helping to keep my dry patches at bay. I can really feel how moisturizing it was after each application and I continue to use it as my body moisturizer even after my dry skin conditions had subsided. I love how these products are steroid-free and generally do not have any noticeable fragrance.
The Aveeno Eczema Care Rescue Relief Gel provided a gentle cooling sensation, which helped when the eczema flared. I found this formula slightly runnier and left a bit of a sticky feeling after application. The gel is probably a better option if you prefer a lighter consistency, but I prefer the cream's quick absorption.

I can really feel how moisturizing it was after each application and I continue to use it as my body moisturizer even after my dry skin conditions had subsided. I love how these products are steroid-free and generally do not have any noticeable fragrance. The moisturizing cream goes on easily and absorbs into my skin relatively quickly.

Thank you to @thisisbutterly and @neutrogenacanada for sending these free, full sized products for my review.
I've always had combination skin and have not found much luck with facial creams that are too oily. The Neutrogena Hydroboost checks all the boxes for me. The hydroboost serum is a light, watery texture and absorbs readily after application. It contains hyaluronic acid, which binds to water and keeps it close to the skin for improved hydration. After having used this for a few days, I can already feel my skin becoming more supple. I'll definitely be keeping this product in my face care routine ☺️
I also appreciate the recyclable nature of the packaging! The smaller-size makes it easy to bring them in my bag. I love the thoughtful touch of having a lock on the serum pump, so it doesn't accidentally dispense when not in use!
