So I ordered the #TeamSensitive bundle on wishtrend because it has a lot products included that I wanted to try out. But I'm wondering if any of you had tried them out yet and wanted to share your opinions about them, your tips or even share things that you have to be cautious about when using them. So that I won't be sitting there all sad that the products didn't meet my expectations haha 

I appreciate every single one of you guys that are willing to share something about your experiences with these products with me 💫🌸

(I included screenshots, but I'll tag the products as well 👌🏻)

ordered #TeamSensitive any tips?

So I window shopped on Facetheory's website after seeing that Facetheory has their big black friday sale and got a little bit surprised to say at least. 

They launched a new product line.
The Facetheory Pro Line to be exact. 

For your information Facetheory already has quite a lot of actives in their skincare products and with their pro line the percentages are insane in my opinion. 

E.g. their normal niacinamide serum has already a percentage of 10% which can be irritating to people with sensitive skin or people that are having a sensitivity to niacinamide in general. 

Their NEW niacinamide serum of the pro line now has a percentage of 20%!
That's the highest percentage for a niacinamide serum that I have seen so far. 

Tbh I'm not sure if it's a good idea to sell products with that high percentages to people that don't have the interest or the time to gain a deeper knowledge about skincare and how you should use certain actives etc. 

I mean don't get me wrong the new line can work for people that now how to use the products correctly, but I'm afraid that Facetheory will cause more harm than good? 😥 

What's your opinion about their new "Pro" Line?
What's your opinion about Facetheory in general?
Do you guys have products you really enjoy from Facetheory?

(The pictures got weirdly cropped I'm sorry 🙏🏻)

Facetheory's "Pro" Line?

So I've been struggling with a very textured skin and large pores since puberty hit me around 7-8 years ago and it never really bothered me that much cuz it was never ever that bad as it is now... So I am really seeking for help 😓

I've noticed that it got even more visible after I changed my cleanser to the La Roche Posay Effaclar one (I'll tag it down below so that you guys can check it out too), but which got rid of mostly all my pimples tho. That was really a surprise because all cleansers I've had so far broke me out (+ I even tried all the CeraVe cleansers).

I'll post the products I use in my routine as well (cleanser, toner, peeling (1x week), serum, eye cream and moisturizer). 

I have sensible combination skin which is also sensitive to niacinamide so I really hope you guys have some product recommendations or tips how I can reduce the amount of closed comedones and blackheads on my face.

(I'll post two pictures of my skin for reference one with flash and one without)

Closed comedones what helps REALLY?

Hey dear Pickys!

So my question is:
"Did you try to get one of the famous YesStyle Advent Calendars and if yes, then how was your experience and did you already spoiler yourself about the products or do you want to surprise yourself?"

Con&#39;s:
- The cleanser did break me out

Pro&#39;s:
+ Very good ingredients over all
+ Definitely made my skin less textured
+ My face wasn&#39;t feeling dry or anything
+ Got the little bumps on my forehead to go away 
+ I needed just one pump to wash my face and neck so you don&#39;t need a lot of product

Con&#39;s:
- Brand is not cruelty free, but that&#39;s not effecting the product directly so I still give a five star rating 👌🏻

Pro&#39;s:
+ Contains 3 ceramides and hyaluronic acid
+ No scent
+ Really thick consistency, but good spreadable
+ Not oily or greasy
+ can be worn under make up
+ Hydrates my dry skin around my eyes very good

🌱 MIXSOON Bean Essence 🌱

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

So I won the Bean Essence through the giveaway on Picky and I wanted to test it as long as I could before I post my review here 😊

Let's start with some general information and things I liked about it 💫

🌿 Price: 25,000₩ (at mixsoon.co.kr)
🌿 Size/Amount: 50ml
🌿 Colour: a faint yellow
🌿 Viscosity: like snail mucin
🌿 Scent: none
🌿 Alcohol-free, Paraben-free, Silicone-free, Sulfate-free, Fragrance-free etc.
🌿 My Routine: after toner
🌿 Time of Usage: occasionally when I felt the need to exfoliate

🌱 won Korea's Essence Award
🌱 tackles five skin concerns:
     • sebum overproduction
     • dead skin cells
     • blackheads
     • skin texture
     • dehydrated skin
🌱 lovely texture
     → "snail mucin"-like essence that                        absorbs quickly
🌱 notable ingredients:
     • Soybean Ferment
     • Pomegranate Ferment
     • Barley Seed Ferment
     • Pear Juice Ferment

My Experience:
The Bean Essence applies really beautiful on to the skin. It has a slimy texture at first, but when it gets rubbed into the skin it'll turn less viscous and absorbs fast. It feels quite hydrating even though it's a exfoliating essence, which I enjoy of course. I really wanted to love this product... but sadly it broke me out on my forehead. I don't know if my forehead was so congested that it resurfaced all those comedones etc. or my skin just reacted badly to it, because I'm on Tretinoin. MAYBE my skin just didn't tolerate the Essence. However many people seem to like this product so I'll try it in a few weeks again and I'll see whether my skin likes it or not.

I'm really torn, but I'll give it a 2,5/5 ⭐

Some things I don't like about the Toner:

🚫 The Toner has exfoliating ingredients to help with the Tone Brightening effect and they're claiming to be extra gentle too... Though I used it every 1-2 days, I experienced major irritation and had to stop using it. I'll give it another chance when I can use exfoliating treatments again.

🚫 I didn't see a Tone Brightening effect at the time that I used the Toner.

Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Boosting Toner 🌼

I received this product for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review.

So I won the Boosting Toner through the giveaway on Picky and I wanted to test it as long as I could before I post my review here 😊

Let's start with some general information and things I liked about it 💫 

🍋 Price: 20$ (at skin1004.com)
🍋 Size/Amount: 210ml or 7.10 fl. oz.
🍋 Texture: watery
🍋 Scent: almost none
🍋 Cruelty-Free
🍋 My Routine: AM and/or PM
🍋 Time of Usage: since January the 10th till round about January the 17th

🌼  The Toner was easy to use and didn't have any weird smell or texture.

🌼 The skin is really soft after using the Toner, because it has exfoliating ingredients.

🌿 Final Conclusion:
As you may noticed I really struggled with finding anything good about the Toner... 
My skin really struggled with this Toner and I honestly don't know how to feel about it. Maybe I'll give it another chance when I can use exfoliating treatments again, but for now I have to pass on this one 🤧

Will I purchase this one? No, I don't think so 😅

Con&#39;s:
- A bit drying, but after applying my other skincare products it feels fine
- It&#39;s NOT Fragrance-free
- The scent is really strong so caution to people with a sensitive sense of smell
- It burns slightly when you have open wounds due to acne

I personally think that the fragrance is unnecessary and really strong, I mean as soon as I open the packaging the smell fills up my bathroom haha but my skin didn&#39;t react to it so it&#39;s fine I guess. Still a bit overwhelming tho 😅

Pro&#39;s:
+ Helped so far with my acne
+ Feels like my skin isn&#39;t that extremely oily anymore
+ After washing my face my skin feels good cleansed and is matt
+ It foams nicely and is easy to wash off
+ You need just a small amount of product

Over all I think the cleanser is pretty nice compared to my experience with the SA CeraVe cleanser and my acne got less as I started to use this product which is a big pro too me and my skin is even a bit less oilier ^^
