I received the aforementioned picky box and filmed a short unboxing video. I don’t know about you guys, but unboxing is the best part for me when receiving an order or prize from Picky!

Individual reviews can be found on my profile. Enjoy!

 A pump would have been nice, or a lid that doesn’t screw off. Once you have the product in your one hand, you cannot close the bottle with the other, as you need to hold it, too.

 This toner was all the rage on the web a few weeks back, so naturally, I had to try it, too. My skin is dry and on the sensitive side.

Like you do with a toner, it is applied after the balm/oil and cleanser on your clean face. It absorbs into the skin in no time and leaves it feeling plump and moisturized. I like how it is light, almost watery, but not too runny. It does not feel like you are just applying a mist to your face, but you can tell that the ingredients (fermented black rice extract, bamboo shoot bark extract, ginseng root extract and hyaluronic acid) sink in immediately and leave your face calm and ready for the next step in your routine. 

I always apply toner with my palms, as I think a cotton pad wastes too much of the product, but of course, that is a personal preference.

The toner is fragrance, alcohol and cruelty-free and vegan.

Pretty much a holy grail, I have nothing bad to say about this product.

An ultra rich cream that delivers long lasting moisture and isn’t sticky. Very powerful hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin from deep within. Squalane and canola oil to deliver rich hydration, without feeling too heavy on the skin. Reinforces the skin barrier for long lasting moisture that last for up to 48 hours.

The skin instantly feels hydrated, and thanks to a combination of panthenol, madecassoside and allantoin. It will leave your skin with a very nice glow.

Absorbs into the skin very quickly. I have used it on my dry and sensitive skin and really like it! 

Takes some getting used to because of the Retinol.

I received this product for free from Picky and SOME BY MI in exchange for my honest review.

Claims:
- reduce fine lines and wrinkles 
- brightens dark circles 
- firms up your skin

Should only be used at night, as retinol can cause sun damage on the skin when directly exposed to sunlight. Retinol can also teach your skin, if you are not used to it, so, please keep that in mind.

My skin likes this product a lot, it seems in quickly and does not irritate my skin at all.

The packaging: The shape is definitely unique and eye-catching, and as the brand says, “Instagram-worthy”. However, the shape does not allow for it to be stood up right, so it always rolls on the side. Laying down, it takes up a lot of space on the counter. But most importantly: it is super hard to get the cream out of the tube, especially when it is brand new. You have to squeeze really hard. I know there will be a lot of product still in the packaging in the end, and, contrary to a tube, you can not just cut it open to get all of the product out. Also, when your hands are slightly damp, the chance for it to just slip out of your hands when you squeeze it is quite high.

This cream is made with hyaluronic acid to plump the skin and black rice extract to help with skin elasticity and to fight aging. It is rich and easy to apply, but less is definitely more. My skin is dry and sensitive, and the cream absorbs almost instantly. The result is glowy, but non-sticky.

The scent is lavender, but it’s not too potent. I quite like the scent, but if you prefer unscented, this cream is not for you.

It’s nothing bad to say, but this product tastes good enough to eat!

This lip cream mask contains keratin and helps your dry and possibly chapped lips to feel instantly moisturized. It is suitable for all skin types. 

Mango supplies a highly moisturizing ceramide to build a protective wall. Honey keeps your lips moist, it contains propolis extract, Manuka extract and royal jelly.

How to use: Apply generously onto lips before going to bed. I even keep it in my purse, as it can also be used instead of a chapstick.
