Hi everyone :)

Now that points for comments have dropped down to 10, what would be your opinion for being awarded, say, 50 points if you successfully request a new product to be added to Picky? 

Chick Advisor which is another review website awards 1500 points to members for adding new products to their database, but I think even awarding 50 would encourage people to keep broadening Picky's library of products! 

I think it would be a good idea, but I'm curious to know what others think!

Extra Points for Adding New Products.

I love cleansing balms, but I feel like not a lot of people can afford, say, Farmacy, Elemis, or Clinique's Take the Day Off, so it makes me wonder why more drugstore brands aren't tapping into this product. 

Also- is it just me or are travel friendly (less than 100 ml) cleansing balms very limited in choice?

Why aren't there more drugstore cleansing balms?

Hey everyone! 

I'm pretty excited about this, but my first giveaway prize arrived! Thank you Picky! ☺️☺️

Has anyone tried this yet? I must admit I've never heard of this brand before but I'm looking forward to trying it!

Flight Mode Moisture Cloud Cream arrived!

Super excited for this moisturizer as it'll be my first winter while using Tretinoin so I need all the help I can get! ❄️

I won the Purito Giveaway- anyone else?

It's not brown skin friendly. You may get different results, but it was super white cast city for me and then completely altered all the shades of my makeup on top.

Just putting it out there since I see the sunscreen is part of a new giveaway. ✌🏽

As someone who won the L'Essential D5 Sunscreen last year...

Not a bad thing, but for Tretinoin users like myself, more moisturization would be appreciated. Also may not be enough if you live in a country with very harsh winters. 

I received this product for free from Picky and Purito in exchange for an honest review. 

I appreciated the packaging of this product as it's light, easily stored, and more hygienic than a jar. I also liked the additional of the foil seal to ensure optimal freshness. 

The product itself is very lightweight- almost like a gel cream or emulsion. It absorbs very quickly into the skin and leaves behind no fragrance. It's formulated with 60% Deep Sea Water which is very hydrating and soothing. It's ideal to wear during the day and night!

Some may find this product a little too rich. It's also very expensive!

Firstly the packaging feels very luxe and it's pretty heavy. You definitely do not want to accidentally drop this from a height. The product itself is made with a ratio of 2% Ceramides, 4% Cholesterol and 2% Fatty Acids to provide a nourishing cocktail for your skin. It's rich and nourishing which I appreciate as I have dry skin. 

I like to use this with Tretinoin to really provide a soothing barrier for my skin and combat the dryness which comes with using prescription strength skincare. 

I love this lipbalm. It&#39;s so thick and works well as being a thick layer to stop moisture escaping. I took this on a 13 hour flight and only needed to apply this once!

Not so much bad, but it's pretty expensive for a low dosage of Retinol.

I really appreciate the tube packaging to ensure optimal preservation of the product and ease of use. The product blends in really nicely without feeling too harsh on the skin. This is a nice starter into Retinol and the brand also offers 0.5 and 1.0 strengths as you build up your tolerance. 

They can be a little drying after a while, so I would recommend a gloss on top if you find they're too dry for you.

Firstly, how ingenious is the packaging?? As someone who loses lipbalm all the time, I was very very impressed by the magnetic packaging and the built in keychain aspect of the product. I can now hang the balms off my bags instead of digging into my bag each time to find a lipbalm. The magnetic lid also means that the lid won't come loose and separate from the bullet. 

The shades I received were: Low-Key, Chilli, and Authentic. Starting with Authentic, I was expecting the pink shade to be non existent/very light on my lips, but I was very taken aback at how pigmented the product applied. For my skin tone, the product pulled a deep/hot pink colour which I liked more than I thought I would. 

Chilli is a very red-orange shade which applies very matte on the lips and can be built up in intensity with multiple applications. I'n enjoying this colour right now as it's very Autumn-coded. 

Low Key pulls a pink-peach shade which has a satin finish, and I think I would wear the it more in the Springtime. Like the others, you can apply multiple layers of this product for intensity. 

I really love lipbalms so this was the perfect giveaway for me, and I really enjoyed the experience of the innovative packaging and using tinted lipbalms. I normally apply balms with lipstick on top, so these products were a great all-in-one product.
