Hey Pickies! :)

As the face masks have become a norm due to the pandemic have you guys noticed other problems/concerns besides maskne. 

I love vitamin C serums but they have the smelly downside. I’ve noticed that since I have to wear a mask at work all the time the vitamin C “hotdog water” smell is present all the time 😑. Also noticed that the vitamin C serum can cause yellow/orange stains on the inside of the face masks. 

I do love my serum but the smell is horrible. Have you guys noticed this as well?

Vitamin C and face masks

Hey guys! I’m in need of a vitamin C serum :). The problem is my super sensitive skin 😩. I can’t use anything with essential oils or fragrance. Could you guys recommend your fav Vitamin C serum? :) I’ve used the Tia’m and ordinary before. I don’t mind the hot dog water smell :)

Edit: I was at the pharmacy and noticed VICHY LIFTACTIV PEPTIDE-C AMPOULES on sale! Heard good stuff about it! I’ll make a review later :)

Vitamin C recommendations?

Hey pickies!
Summer is closing and I’m trying to find a good sunscreen for the body. I’m going to Spain so I’m gonna spend time by the pool and sea and need some recommendations. My biggest concern is the staining! I’ve ruined so many clothes with sunscreens giving yellow and orange stains that don’t come off with any detergent. 

So could you guys give some recommendations?
Last year I used LRP and it completely ruined several of my shirts and I’m trying to avoid this mistake this year.

Body sunscreen recommendations

Hey guys! I love the whole glass skin look and my holy grail mousturizer (hada labo) is currently unavailable on yessstyle :( 

Share your fav products for glass skin look! :) I’m absolutely in love with the haruharu toner.  

I shared a shelfie to show my current routine :)

EDIT: I only use fragrance and essential oil free products

Glass skin holy grails?

Hey fellow picky members!
I got my 3rd vaccine last Monday and it really messed up my body. 2 first shots were Pfizer and the third was Moderna. 

I noticed on Tuesday a huge pimple on my chin and another one on Wednesday. I haven’t changed my routine lately and I haven’t had any breakouts in a long time. 

Has anyone else had this type of reaction to the vaccine or just me :/

Also my facial fillers swelled and my nose was huge. That calmed down with ibuprofen.

moderna vaccine side effects

It’s a foaming cleanser but unlike the name suggests it’s not a traditional oil cleanser. During summer an oil cleansing is recommended to get all the sunscreen/makeup away. 

Otherwise absolutely nothing bad to say. 

I absolutely love this cleanser and have already gone through 2 bottles. 

It is a foaming oil based cleanser with squalane oil and triglyceride for long lasting hydration. It provides hydration and the cleansing power is amazing. 

It is thick almost gel like but lathers beautifully. 

My skin feels clean and yet not stripped at all. My sensitive oily skin absolutely loves this. It also has hyaluronic acid and niacinamide. It is developed for dry and normal skin but I don’t see a reason why it wouldn’t suit oily skin as well. 

II’ve been using this during winter both am and pm as I haven’t been wearing sunscreen. 

It is super affordable! 10.63€/473 ml

-: Soothing properties were a bit lackluster. Can feel a bit heavy on oily skin if used twice daily. 

I will definitely continue using this but won&#39;t repurchase. For my skin the soothing properties weren&#39;t enough and it felt a bit too heavy for my oily skin if used too often. I think ill enjoy it more in the fall months but still continue relying on propolis products for soothing

It is a 100% Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract ampule that promises to repair damaged skin while regulating its water-oil balance. It is suitable for all skin types and helps soothe and strengthen skin barrier for healthier-looking skin.

It can be used once or twice daily in the serum&#47;ampule stage after cleansing. 
A little goes a long way and you only need 2-3 drops for the whole face!

It is a potent hydrator and really helped with my dehydration. It didn&#39;t perform so well with soothing properties on my skin but may help others with less sensitive skin that doesn&#39;t require that much calming down. 

The texture is oily and slick even though it doesn&#39;t contain any oils. It absorbs quickly leaving no tackiness behind. 
The scent is mild thanks to no added essential oils or fragrances. 
My skin feels deeply hydrated and plump afterwards and this product gives a nice glow.  

+: Deep hydration and glow, absorbs quickly and doesn&#39;t leave a tacky finish. Essential oil and fragrance free making it suitable for sensitive skin like mine.

I did’t completely bring down the redness but it helped a bit. Scent wasn’t good nor bad

It is a lightweight toner and it absorbs quicky. Great for layering. It calms irritation and for me worked best for my PM routine.

💰Repurchase – No. For the price point ($32) I prefer other centella products like SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule.

👎🏻Didn’t notice much improvement with skin tone. Price is steep for 100ml bottle. 


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

🧔🏻‍♂️Suitable for : skin with inflammation and acne that needs soothing, tired skin that lost it's ability to restore itself, dull skin with uneven skin tone, skin that lost elasticity.


💁🏻‍♂️My thoughts – Centella is one of my go to ingredients when it comes to soothing and calming products. I noticed instant soothing upon application. It’s a fast absorbing and a little goes a long way. It can be used also as DIY face mask, face mist or it can be easily layered or mixed with other products. I found it was easy to layer with my current routine but didn’t bring much addition to it. I’ve been using retinoids and acids lately, so this helped to combat the irritation associated with them.

👍🏻light, watery texture, mild scent that doesn’t bother. Instant soothing and calming effect. 


Absolutely nothing bad to say. No irritation or problems with my skin when using this

A little goes a long way! Free of essential oils and fragrances. It lathers beautifully and washes away easily. Leaves skin extremely soft and no tightness at all! My holy grail second cleanser
