I won! I'm super happy and excited right now🥳. I have this habit of checking my emails first thing in the morning after waking up. And oh my! For the first time, I got to see a good news in my email!🤣🥰

THANK YOU SO MUCH PICKY AND COMMONLABS! 🤩

I love the Global Giveaways!😁



And does someone from the PH here know if there's custom fees? If there is, how much? Thank you!😍

For the First time, I Won the Giveaway!🎉

Need help

Am:
Vitamin C serum and Hyaluronic acid serum or
Vitamin C serum and Niacinamide

Pm:
Retinol and Niacinamide or 
Retinol and Hyaluronic acid serum

Based on my research, Niacinamide can be incorporated in any skincare products/routine. I also know that Retinol and Vitamin C can't be use together. But I'm not really sure about Hyaluronic acid serum/hidrating serum.. can it be used together with Vitamin C and/or Retinol?

And can you also share the best Facial Cleanser, AHA/BHA toner, moisturizer for oily skin, and broad spectrum sunscreen for you? Much appreciated if the price is affordable. I'm broke, but I can't sacrifice my skincare. So affordable products is a must! 😅😂😁 Thank you!🥰

What is the best serum combination for Am and Pm routine

Hello everyone, I think everyone already knows the event about Picky and Wishtrend partnership right?☺️

And I'm sad cause even though wishtrend ships in my country, the product that I'm eyeing for is already out of stock! And that is is the Vitamin C by wishtrend.

Though there's still those skincare products that I also want, it's so sad cause I can't afford them even with the help of 5% or 10% off and free shipping. 

BUT! 
I'm really thankful to Picky and Wishtrend for this 5,000 bonus points!

🍀 It can be used for morning and night, but I actually use it everynight after my acne treatment, and after my exfoliation (2x a week).

Scent & Texture:
  🍀 It has a viscous watery texture, a bit tacky at first but got absorbs easily and leaves a good soft skin after application.
  🍀 It has a rich tea tree scent that may not be appreciated by a very fragrance sensitive peeps. But I can guarantee you that the scent is very natural and not artificial..

Packaging & Color:

Price:
   🍀 It cost ₱885 in Shopee Philippines, roughly around $17-$18. Not really affordable, but definitely worth it for a good 30ml ampoule.

Personal Experience:
   ♻️ I have an acne prone skin, and I'm currently experiencing a purging because of my acne treatment. When I first use this ampoule, I have a very bad cystic acne.( You can see the first before pic. ).. I must admit that it really stings a bit in the first application in the skin. Even though that stinging disappeared right away, those who have a wery sensitive skin should be aware. Patch test is a must. Anyway, that stinging doesn't bother me that much so I continue using it. A week after, I can gradually see a difference in the redness of my face due to my acne treatment. It also helps soothing my skin after exfoliation. I definitely love tea tree. That ingredient is, and definitely always be one of my holy grails. Two weeks after using it, my cystic acne flattened completely, and the mark is gradually fading. ( See in the second after photo ).. Even though my purging is still ongoing ( that's why there's some little new pimps around ), I'm not even slightly worried because I have this ampoule to aide me.

Final Thoughts:
   ♻️ What I can say? I love it. This may not be the first in my holy grail list, but definitely belong. 

Cons:
   🍀 Not affordable for someone like me. Also not really for those who have a very sensitive skin, and sensitive to fragrances whether it's natural or artificial fragrance.

Repurchase: I will. I'll just need to wait for the big sales to be able to afford it.

COMMONLABS's Vitamin E Calming Ampoule Review💚

⭐ Dear, Klairs All-day Airy Sunscreen ⭐

I received this product for free from Picky and Dear, Klairs in exchange for my honest review.

💛Product Description;
    🌻 A light, gentle, and moisturizing chemical sunscreen that protects the skin from harsh UV Rays without any whitecast.
    🌻 A fresh, daily sunscreen with no sticky residue. It can be used in the last step of skincare, and before applying makeup.
    🌻 Effective sun protection with SPF 50+ PA++++. A mild formula suitable for all skin types.

💛Personal Opinion and Experience;
           This sunscreen's product description is definitely legit. It's super light, feels like I didn't put anything at all in my face. It have a yellowish tone that can brighten our face. It have a natural finish, perfect for everyday use. But of course, can be a little bit dewy for oily peeps that lives in tropical country like myself. It's summer now so we sweat a lot. That's not a really big deal for me, since it's so good to use as skin prep under makeup. And because it's light, the skin wouldn't feel like having tons of products underneath. Definitely good for those who have a dry and sensitive skin. I'm using adapalene so my skin is a bit sensitive, and this sunscreen doesn't sting so a big +1. The only reason why I gave this a 4 star is because, it stings in the eyes. That's a very big factor for me right now since it's summer, and I can't control my sweat to go in my eyes. Still, I'll gonna continue to use it underneath my makeup cause it really gives me a good canvass.

💜 I really like this product. But i may not be able to repurchase this since it's a bit pricey for me.

💜  VVBETTER Firming Eye Cream 💜

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

Product Description;
    💜 It is enriched with bakuchiol, squalene, vitamins, and peptides complex to minimize the wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness for visibly smoother, more youthful- looking eyes.
    💜 It brightens dark and dull areas under eyes and balances skin tone.
    💜 A complex of 8 peptides absorbed easily and boosts collagen production. It makes the skin around your eyes elastic and firm.
    💜 A complex of moisturizing ingredients hydrates your skin and promotes moisture loss. Provide a long-lasting hydration, soothes dry and sensitive skin. 

Personal Opinion and Experience;
    💜 This is the first time that I tried an eye cream so I'll be very honest about it.
The texture is kind of like a bit occlusive kind of moisturizer for oily skin types, and a lightweight moisturizer for dry skin types. So I can say that this will be good for any skin types, even for sensitive skin since I didn't experience any stinging with this.
The packaging! Oh let's talk about how good and beautiful is this eye cream's packaging 😍
The color and the twist kind of magic? Gorgeous.
I took a picture of my eyes before using it, 3 days after, and last night. Same night time routine, just different lightning. I can't see any difference in the appearance of my under eyes, but that's the reason why I got to like it. I always sleeps late every night, but my eyes didn't get puffy and look like a hungry panda! 
It's so smooth and definitely great as an eye prep before makeup application. My eyes is never been this smooth and creaseless before, even when I tried to prep it properly using my moisturizer and primer. As for firming, I can't say anything about this yet since a week is not enough to see such results. 
And as for my conclusion, is eye cream worth it and different from moisturizer? Yes, and no. Why? For me it's still kind of just like any kind of moisturizer that you like, but better. It's good for me since my moisturizer doesn't get to work good like this eye cream, but if your moisturizer is already enough for you, then it's not really necessary. But if you want to have this specific cream for your eyes, and you have more than enough to afford it, then go! It's so much fun and good to use. 🥰😘

♻️Not totally a bad. But yeah, this is not for sensitive skin. ♻️

💚 By Wishtrend Green Tea & Enzyme Powder Wash 💚

 “I received this product for free from Picky and By Wishtrend in exchange for my honest review.” 

Product Description:
🍏This powder cleanser is moist as a low pH cleanser and refreshing as a scrub. Green Tea Powder effective in cleansing and soothing guarantees refreshing use. Papain Enzyme, Coconut-derived Surfactant and Baking Soda gently melt away blackheads, impurities and dead skin cells for brighter and smoother skin.

Personal Experience & Opinion:
🍵 Definitely a must have for oily acne prone skin, and those who loves to travel. This product is very effective for me. It feels like a scrub at first, then emulsify a few seconds after. When I'm using this, my face looks and feel so clean. It's the reason why love to use this everytime I wore a makeup. But that's also the reason why I only give this a 4 stars. I have an oily acne prone, and sensitive skin. This is too harsh for my sensitive skin, so it stings when I tried to use it everyday. So even though I love the effects of this product to my skin, I can only use it for a maximum of 3x a week. Yes, just like an exfoliator even though it's not advertise as such..

🟡 Oh nothing at all! I really really love this and I will definitely purchased again!

〽️ Personal Experience;
       My currently most favorite moisturizer now! I thought that the only thing that I may like in this is the unique amber-brown color of the cream. But the texture, the finish, the color, the feels, oh I love all of those! I just need a little bit of the cream to cover all over my face and neck. It's so light, get absorbs really easily, and leaves a natural yet soft and smooth texture to my skin. It feels like I didn't put anything at all, but at the same time I feels so moisturize! And the fact that my oily-acne prone skin loves this and didn't break me out? Oh thank you for another holy grail for me! There's no actual scent and it doesn't leave any film like feeling so yeah, i just love this🥰

🌶️ CONS: As I mentioned in the packaging part, I&#39;m not really a fan of this packaging. Not because it&#39;s not look good enough, or because it&#39;s not durable. It is because of the lid. The lid can&#39;t be closed properly. 
     And the stinging at first. Some people with super sensitive skin might not like it..

🌸I like it!
CLAIMS:
     This Calmine Anti-Blemish Calming Foam Wash deeply cleans your face, removes excess oil, and leaves just the right amount of natural oils and moisture that your skin needs. This also helps to soothe minor skin irritation, ans slowly reduces the appearance of blemishes with every wash.

KEY INGREDIENT:
     Madecassoside - derived from Centella Asiastica, and commonly known as Gotu Kola. It&#39;s famous for it&#39;s wound healing and antioxidant properties, and also known to help soothe the skin.
     It&#39;s also has Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, and Hyaluronic Acid. Though this three is in the middle of the ingredients list.
It&#39;s Non-Comedogenic and also Pregnancy Safe.
   
HOW:
     It&#39;s mild enough to use for both morning and night without the stripping feeling. But also strong enough to use alone even if you&#39;re wearing a waterproof sunscreen. You just need a pea sized amount, lather in your palm, and gently massage all over the face and neck. Rinse thoroughly, and it&#39;s up to you if you want to let your face damp for the next routine step, or gently pat it dry.

TEXTURE:
     It&#39;s has a silky smooth texture that can foam up fast and nice.
SCENT:
     It&#39;s Fragrance Free so even if you smell a very mild scent, it instantly go away before you try to distinguish it. But maybe you can if you&#39;re very sensitive to fragrance.
COLOR:
     It has a silky white, light pink color.

PACKAGING:
     It has the basic tube packaging. It&#39;s also color pink, and pretty much durable. It&#39;s so easy to use and open. Too easy actually cause the lid is not closing properly.

PRICE:
     It&#39;s so affordable because this 100ml foam cleanser is only 269 PHP. Roughly around $5+, but less than $6. And I can say that mine is still around 20ml even after using it for 3 months. 

EXPERIENCE:
    I used this when my skin is in its very bad condition because of acne. And because my skin is compromised, it has a sting at first for a whole 2 weeks. But I still continue to use it with my other skincare products. It foams up quickly, and leaves a very nice feel after rinsing. It doesn&#39;t feel so moisturizing to the point that I&#39;ll feel like I didn&#39;t rinse at all,  but it doesn&#39;t feel so &quot;clean&quot; to the point that it&#39;s stripping. Just massage it for 20 seconds, and you&#39;re done. After two weeks, the stinging is gone so I can say that my skin completely builds its barrier. And the most obvious effect is, all of my acne is gone! 
    Just a tip, don&#39;t judge the specific product immediately. Gave it some time to prove it&#39;s effects maybe for at least 2 weeks. If after that time and you&#39;re still not like it, then you can let it go.

    So as I mentioned in the beginning, I really like this product. Though I can&#39;t still say that this is the best of the best for me, atleast I can confidently say that this really works!
