Nothing at all. I would prefer a tube or a pump over a jar, but that is personal preference. 

“A refreshing daily moisturizer, packed with Panthenol, Betaine, and Sustainable Grape Skin Extract, that’s clinically tested to instantly boost hydration and improve the look of skin texture, while also reinforcing your moisture barrier. The gel-cream texture cream helps the skin stay smooth, plump, and balanced with 6 peptides.”

If it’s got peptides, it’s got my attention! This is a lightweight gel cream that absorbs quickly and left my skin feeling moisturizer. I used this mainly in the evening and woke up with smooth, calm skin.

🌿 this is a delightful serum! I’ve been using it in the mornings under my makeup. It is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving my skin moisturized and calm without any stickiness or oiliness. 

Sometimes niacinamide can irritate my skin, but I didn’t find that to be the case with this serum. 

Well, the sizes are really small so I’m going to need to buy new full-sized products soon! 



I received these products for free from Picky and Mary&May in exchange for my honest review.

These cute little sample kits are perfect for travel or just for trying a new brand. I have a few Mary&May products already so I knew I’d love these too. 

The kit includes:
💜Vegan Low pH Hyaluronic Gel Cleanser
This is a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip my skin or leave it feeling tight. 

💜Vegan Blackberry Complex Cream Essence
Surprisingly, I haven’t ever used a bi-phase essence before. Shake to emulsify the layers together and then I used my fingers to apply. This was very lightweight and felt soothing. 

💜Idebenone+Blackberry Complex Serum
Fast-absorbing, non-greasy, this advertised as a high-powered antioxidant and I can’t get enough of those! :) I actually own this already and it leaves a really nice hydrated glow. I’ve been using it in the mornings under my makeup. 

💜Idebenone Blackberry Intense Cream
This is another one of the products that I own and have already been using. It’s a little on the thicker side (that’s the intense part, I suppose) but feels really delightful and smooth. It’s perfect for winter in Arizona… I’ve been using it at night and wake up with really soft skin. 

💜Tranexamic Acid+Glutathione Eye Cream
This feels really thick and moisturizing but absorbs surprisingly quickly! I think this would be perfect for summer usage.

3oz is TINY. I had to double-check that I didn’t accidentally purchase a trial or travel size. For almost $40USD. But nope, this is it. This is what you get. 


This is an incredible product. I’ve been using it at night, every other evening. It has a very slight tingle, just enough so you know it’s working, and then a bit of a warming effect. My skin looks so good in the morning! Sebaceous filaments are one of my primary skin concerns and they look SO much better after using this. Not gone, but tighter and more refined. I haven’t been using it long enough to comment on its effects on hyperpigmentation yet, but early impressions are promising. 

PINATE NATURAL BLOOM LIP OIL SERUM
This camellia flower oil-infused lip serum is absolutely incredible. I moved to Arizona from Colorado — I know dry lips. This serum is smooth and non-sticky, yet deeply nourishing. I loved how long-lasting it is. The pink is a beautiful sheer tint, and the clear is just that. I don’t notice any difference in performance between the clear and the tinted. 

This feels luxurious and I really enjoy using it! I would repurchase at full price.
