I am SOOOO excited!!!!!!!!  I've only been on here a few months & have won 8 Giveaways so far-22 products in total & HONEST TO GOD, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERY SINGLE ITEM I'VE TRIED THUS FAR(Still waiting on 2 more to come)!!!!
But, I HAVE done my due diligence!!!! I'm a writer at heart, been writing since I was only 9 yrs old & my first poem was published at age 9, then at 16 yrs old, 18 yrs old, 25 yrs old & my last one since I've stopped was age 35! I became a Beauty Blogger & a Verified Product Tester & Reviewer after that & I haven't looked back! 8 years of product testing & writing, creating digital content, pictures, videos! It's something I've ALWAYS loved to do! It did take a little bit to get Verified & to put myself out there, everywhere but ever since then, it's been an amazing journey! 
I would honestly have to say that out of ALL the programs I've ever joined, 08Liter, Influenster(which is NOT the same anymore since that unnecessary update), bzzagent, bazzarvoice, Sampler, Yesstyle, etc, PICKY HAS BEEN THE ABSOLUTE BEST FOR GIVING AMAZING QUALITY PRODUCTS TO US!!!! Many, if NOT ALL the products I've won on here & tested, I WOULD DEFINITELY BUY! ALL THEIR PRODUCTS ARE AMAZING & I FEEL SO EXTREMELY BLESSED TO HAVE FOUND A COMMUNITY OF LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE HERE ON PICKY & TO HAVE WON SO MANY GIVEAWAYS THUS FAR! I JUST HAD TO SHOW MY LOVE, GRATITUDE & APPRECIATION TO PICKY.....SO, THANK YOU PICKY, for letting ME do what I LOVE TO DO THE MOST!!!!!!! EVERYONE HERE IS AMAZING, 143💘🕊️🥰🤗😘🌹🫂

THANK YOU @PICKY FOR BEING SO GOOD TO ME, TO ALL OF US🌹🫂😘🤗🥰

I literally JUST received my 1ST ever PICKY Box & my 1st impressions from the November Boxs Lineup of products is GREAT PRODUCT LINEUP, with most of the brands being familiar to me & ones I've ACTUALLY seen or heard something great about before! Even tried 1 product already & I LOVE it & used it all up! What perfect timing too!!! December

1st Box, 1st Impressions/Pt.1

Did you KNOW that Micellar Water was founded by the French!? French woman would complain about the water quality doing MORE damage to their skin then good! So they came up with an ingenious way to do it ALL-it takes off ALL types of makeup, doesn't need to be rinsed off & can be considered as a type of face wash!
Do you know that just using Micellar Water is the equivalent of washing your face!? Meaning THIS takes the place of washing the face! Depending upon what you use, makeup wise, you can simply use this to cleanse the skin, instead of using soap & water! It just as effectively removes dirt, oil, debris, dust, makeup & sunscreen just as effectively as washing your face! 
So, if you're noticing your skin breaking out worse after washing your face, it may just be the water you're using & switching to this "method" is just as effective, if not better, then washing the face! This doesn't need to be washed off at all! You can also use, the double cleanse method, using an oil first & then using Micellar Water in place of facial soap! 
THIS method has been VERY effective & beneficial for my particular skin type, which is Combination! Since hearing about ALL the nasties they put into our water, face washing has never been the same for me! I double cleanse & then use my Micellar Water & my skin has NEVER looked THIS good before! I SWEAR by this method, but, what works for me, may NOT work for you! But if you know your water's bad, smelly, you should definitely look into THIS cleansing method! It works! My skin doesn't purge or even break out that much anymore, even around my time of the month! Now, if you have REALLY oily or REALLY dry skin that tends to break out often, this method may STILL work for you too! You're NOT stripping away the skins natural oils or the skins protective biome & barrier! 
With the water being not so great anymore, I just thought I'd share this with y'all! It's been working for me extremely well! And, I STILL do an effective, yet gentle, physical or chemical exfoliant twice a week!
Now, I DO wear some makeup, but mainly a tinted moisturizer, some concealer, blush, highlighter, mascara, eyeshadow, brow pencil/pomades, lipstick or lipgloss & ALWAYS a sunscreen! And still, I am totally loving these results! 
I've been doing this now for almost a year & my skin hasn't looked THIS good in a long time! May work for some, like me, who just wears the basics, no heavy foundation, while it may not work for others-especially if you use a LOT of products, heavy products, like full coverage foundation, the whole works! But, It still may work, I just haven't tried it that way because I live on the beach in Florida & the humidity here is SOOOO horrible! So heavy, everyday makeup just isn't plausible for me! 
Overall though, even if you STILL wash your face & double cleanse, it is STILL a great idea to use Micellar Water afterwards(remember, we don't rinse off the Micellar Water)before adding toner! 

What do we think? 
Anyone do THIS already? 
Have you tried it before? 
Do you want to try this method!?

Micellar Water & in place of Washing the Face!?!?

Nothing at all!!!!!! It's an awesome product!!!!! 

Thank you Picky & Skin1004 for this complimentary product in exchange for my honest review!"

This is for @skin1004's 💦💚Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum with SPF50 & PA++++💚💦
I received this product complimentary from Skin1004 & Picky in exchange for my honest opinion & review! Receiving this product for free does NOT change my views on the product! 
💦🌿This sunscreen is jammed packed with ALL kinds of amazing natural ingredients & the CICA, also known as, Centella Asiatica/Gotu Kola/Tiger Grass 🐅🐯 is from Madagascar & is 1 of my top 3 favorite ingredients! CICA/Centella Asiatica/Gotu Kola is ALSO named Tiger Grass & for good reason! This herb, technically a grass, grows wild in most parts of Asia & has been used for thousands of years for it's antibacterial, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, soothing & wound cleansing properties! It's not only used by humans, but Tigers 🐯 are also often seen rolling around in this special grass to cover their wounds after getting into fights! Even the animals KNOW the MANY BENEFICIAL medicinal properties of this grass! I THOUGHT THAT WAS SO COOL!!!! Mother Nature DOES know best! It's an awesome ingredient to use in skincare because it is amazing FOR ALL SKIN TYPES, EVEN SENSITIVE!!!!! I ALWAYS, ALWAYS check to see if the products I want have this ingredient (Tiger Grass as I LOVE to call it), as it has completely CHANGED my skin for the BETTER!!!! This is the 3rd product I've had the privilege of testing by Skin1004 & Honest to God, THEIR PRODUCTS DO NOT DISAPPOINT & NEITHER WILL THEIR PRICES! This particular brand is a popular K-Beauty (Korean) brand & also has a sister brand called "ZOMBIE BEAUTY", which I've also tested, called the "Bloody Peel" because of its thick, red consistency & because it's made from Red ♥️ Super Fruits! It is VERY similar to the Ordinary's Peel but this one has SOOO many red super fruits in it & is a wonderful 1-minute chemical exfoliator THAT WORKS!
The Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum is made with Hyaluronic acid, which holds 1,000 times its weight in water & takes the moisture from the air to bind it to the skin! Like the name suggests, it's a watery, serum-like sunscreen with an SPF OF 50 & PA++++!!!! It's a light, airy formula that absorbs beautifully into the skin without any type of white cast! I've TRIED to get it to leave a white cast, BUT IT WON'T!
So, NO white cast, made with amazing & SUPER BENEFICIAL INGREDIENTS, is inexpensive BUT WORKS! I'm sold on this product & absolutely love it! My skin hasn't purged or been irritated at all from this product! It's actually helping my skin! It also serves up some major hydration without making the skin look "Greasy"! It actually illuminates the skin & helps to brighten it up (which I've already noticed) & is considered an Anti-Wrinkle Functional Cosmetic that has been thoroughly tested for any skin irritations! It smells light & fresh, NOT like the sunscreen scent most of us hate & is not overbearing at all! It also works REALLY well with primer & makeup & will add a little glow to the skin without making the skin look oily & greasy!!!! I cannot say enough good things about this product & the brand itself! Some of the amazing ingredients in this formula, besides Hyaluronic acid & Tiger Grass include Niacinamide, Glycerin, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf extract, Green Tea, Wheat Sprout extract, Alfalfa extract, Broccoli Sprout extract & SO much more! The packaging is so beautiful, but minimal, & has a cap & pump on it that stands up on its bottom! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SUNSCREEN SERUM & I MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT & DEFINITELY CHECK OUT THE BRAND! Couldn't be more happier with the results thus far!!!!! 


I've tried a few of these types of "peels" from e.l.f to Huda Beauty to this K-Beauty brand! I went through 2 of these bottles & this is one really AMAZING product! I can't believe I happened to see this randomly because I had really good results with this physical exfoliating peel! Helped with physical exfoliation & leaves the skin soft & moisturized, but not dry or greasy either! It also helps to brighten the skin!! A definite recommend if you happen to see it!!!! Between ALL of these products I've tried, the e.l.f & this one, Dr. G, we're the BEST 2!!! Wish I had a pic to show of the empty bottle but I ended up getting rid of my empties for more room!

The ONLY thing for me that's a down side, is the price & no included brush! It is $50 for this palette & in this particular palette, there is NO brush included, as they normally do! 
Other than that, it's a perfect everyday palette! 

I've tried several Urban Decay products in the past & I have ALWAYSSSSSS loved their products! With that being said, this is my very first Naked Palette & I personally, couldn't be MORE happy with the product! I think the packaging is EXQUISITE, with the soft top, gold lettering plus, it has my FAVORITE flowers, Orchids, on top! Some said they found this to be cheap but I've NEVER had cheap makeup with packaging like THIS! It feels the opposite to me! It FEELS LUXURIOUS, & heavy, & the inside is absolutely gorgeous too! Nice long size mirror, 2 bigger pans on each outer side, left & right, BUT WHERE IS THE BRUSH!?!?!? Their palettes ALWAYS come with brushes, but VERY disappointingly, THIS specific palette did NOT & I don't understand why! That's the ONLY reason I gave it 4 out of 5 Stars! Why did THIS palette come with NO brush!? It should be MORE consistent! As far as the colors, they are absolutely gorgeous! The color story is absolutely perfect for a nude look, but ALSO, it can be glammed up, especially with the satin toppers, metallics & shimmers! I REALLY LOVE the color "Retro"! It WAS a VERY good idea to include this pinky, peach, coral shade! I JUST wish, for ME personally, that it had a purple/plum shade, because I can play these colors up or down, day to night! The mattes are soft & pigmented, the satins are are absolutely gorgeous, the sparkles have dimension but aren't over the top & the metallic shimmers are stunning! I got some kick up with "Dreamweaver" but nothing I couldn't handle! I find, overall, despite other reviews, that this palette is a hit! It's absolutely gorgeous, the colors are amazing & the packaging is to die for! You can also create SO MANY different looks with this palette, from day to evening! Would I spend $50 on it, no, but on SALE, DEFINITELY YES! I do recommend this palette! I think it's fabulous in MANY ways! IT STILL MAY BE AVAILABLE AT SEPHORA FOR HALF OFF!?

It's awesome, BUT definitely NOT a lip oil, MORE of a hybrid between a gloss & oil; the doe foot applicator is HUGE but NOT a lot comes out at one time, so I need to keep reapplying! 

NYX Cosmetics Fat Oil Lip Drip Lip Gloss in "Follow Back" is made with Vegan Squalene, Cloudberry & Raspberry Oils! "Follow Back" is an Orangey-Apricot shade with gold reflects! Isn't chunky feeling, isn't greasy or sticky & feels great on the lips! Has a HUGE doe foot applicator, ONLY issue for me-the little amount at a time that comes out, it's NOT enough! But the color(s) is so pretty though! Retails for $8.99. Love the colorful, bulky packaging! DOESN'T feel like your "ordinary" lip oil, MORE of a hybrid oil-gloss, MORE on the glossy side, but VERY moisturizing! You can get this & a matching lipliner bundle for $11 on Amazon Prime! The lipliner that this bundle comes with is called "Peekaboo Pink" & I ALREADY have & use THIS exact shade for an everyday lipliner! They're stunning together, or on their own! Definitely NOT a holy grail for me, STILL love & use the Etude House Tinted Lip Oils! 

I'm not sure if I received a bad batch or what, but THIS moisturizer smells EXACTLY like sunscreen & NOT the good smelling kind either! I asked several people whom also use this & some said it did remind them of sunscreen as well! But, the formula DOES NOT contain any sunscreen whatsoever! So it may not be a bad batch! It could just be my nose! I will have to ask my dermatologist about this & update this when I hear back! 

Firstly, the despenser is absolutely amazing! I LOVE the product design of this product! You just press down with your thumbs & just the right amount comes out! It does moisturize & it does also absorb pretty well! The formula itself is wonderful but I just cannot get over the fact that it smells like sunscreen but it has NO sunscreen in it, at all! If the scent was different, I would totally LOVE it!
