I just ran out of my favourite setting powder and I’m looking to try out something new. Let me know your favourite setting powder for oily-acne prone skin.

Setting powder

I went to the beach and ended up with a really bad sunburn on my back despite re-applying my sunscreen. I’ve used aloe and taken cool showers, but I’m looking for any other tips on how to heal it quickly and reverse some of the damage.

What to do for a really bad sunburn?

I just looked on my profile and noticed that my most recent review has disappeared from my profile. Has this happened to any of you?

StyleKorean has a 24h sale of the full size bottle of VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot 100 for only $1. So obviously I had to buy it. Since I didn’t want to spend $60 to get free shipping, I had to pay for shipping, so my total came out to $11. I figured I won’t be able to get it for this cheap ever again, so I justified treating myself to a little something. 

I’m super excited cause I’ve been seeing it everywhere, but for those of you who have already tried it, what was your experience with it?

VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot for only $1?!

Has anyone else been having problems with shipping lately? All of my recent wins from picky have arrived with less than 2 weeks from the deadline, some even within a few days. It just makes it very hard to properly review the products before the deadline. It is definitely that time of year where packages tend to get delayed, but I wasn’t expecting it to happen so soon. Let me know if any of you have been facing the same issue.

Shipping issues

Cons:
- The serum does unfortunately have a slight scent to it, which I believe comes from the Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil, so if you are sensitive to fragrance ingredients and flower oils, I would avoid this product.

Overall, I’m not a huge fan of aha’s as they tend to irritate my skin a lot, but I didn’t have this problem when using this serum. 


I received this product for free from Centellian24 and Picky.

This serum contains a mix of glycolic and lactic acid, both AHA’s that help exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and helping with skin texture. It also contains amino acids and allantoin to help soothe and moisturize the skin, and protease to enhance the absorption of other ingredients. I did notice my skin looking brighter and more radiant the day after I used this product. I only use this a max of 3 times per week as it is an exfoliating serum. I’m not sure about the percentage of the acid contained in this serum, but it does feel very gentle in my skin.

Pros:
- Very gentle and non-irritating for an exfoliating serum.
- Contains amazing soothing ingredients, particularly amino acids which are my favourite for repairing damaged skin barrier. 



I wish they had a bigger package because I run out of this tint very quickly. 

This is a dewy lip tint that leaves a hydrating layer that makes the lips look plump and glossy.

- soft sweet peach smell
- buildable pigment for more subtle everyday look or a bolder colour
- cute packaging
- long lasting colour
- no pilling
- vegan

- heavy and oily on the skin
- doesn’t settle in for a very long time
- transfers
- the tint only works for people with a medium skin tone


- water and sweat resistant 
- fragrance free

When it comes to the lip balm formula, they aren’t the most moisturizing. I don’t find myself reaching for them when I need intense moisture for my lips, but the colours are pretty, they are more of a lip balm/lipstick hybrid. The packaging is very cute, my only issue with it is that sometimes when you try to close the lids you might accidentally scrape your lip balm with the edges of the cap. Overall they are a great addition to my makeup bag for more everyday makeup, but if you’re looking for a moisturizing lip balm or long lasting lipsticks, I would opt for something else. 

I received this product for free from Picky and Athé in exchange for my honest review.

The airy lip balm is a velvety matte formula compared to the shiny moisturizing formula of the Athe authentic lipbalms. They aren’t drying like normal matte lip products. If you like the matte lipstick look but hate the dry feeling, then this lip balm is for you. The colour is sheer red but very buildable.

First I have to talk about my favourite of the three, the authentic lip balm in 01 authentic. It looks to be a very sheer lip balm out of the packaging, but once you apply it to your lips the colour actually changes into a soft pink. The colour is very buildable depending on whether you want a softer or more intense colour.
