Nothing negative to say for this one! Total Holy Grail!!! 

Fig Cleansing Balm - i’m from

I am a •little• obsessed with cleansing balms. I have my favorites, for sure, but I am always trying new ones because I love the experience of the first scoop, the texture, the application…the scents! All of it pulls me in and never wants to let me go! It is almost a meditative process for me.

When I heard about the Fig Cleansing Balm from I’m From, I knew that this was one for my list. I am enamored with K-Beauty brands, and fig was an intriguing ingredient. This balm is gentle and claims to aid blackhead treatment. Sign me up!

Everything about this product is lovely. The size of the packaging is more than generous. The jar is a gorgeous purple color and fits the fig theme perfectly. The product itself is a pastel baby pink and it has the yummiest scent! Texturally, this is one of my favorite cleansing balms, and I relish the soft melt sensation during application. In contrast to so many other balms, this product does not give eyes that awful blurry film when rinsing! 

This one is a must try!

I am so grateful that ATOPALM and Picky sent this cream to me. My dry skin has been drinking it up. Although, I do wish that the cream absorbed faster, I have found this to be one of the best creams for skin conditioning/repair for my skin type/texture. 


I received the ATOPALM MLE Cream - MLE Skin Barrier Cream complimentary from ATOPALM + Picky in exchange for my honest review. 

•-• 
•Description•
MLE [Multi Lamellar Emulsion] cream is an extremely thick and moisturizing cream designed to protect and nourish the delicate skin barrier. The patented technology is suitable for all skin types, but is likely best for those with dry/dehydrated skin. It does have a pleasant, noticeable botanical scent. The cream contains several oils [jojoba, sunflower, green tea seed, safflower, and grape] and I believe it is some combination of the oils that are giving the cream this unique and beautiful fragrance. 

•Experience + Verdict•
I apply this cream in the evenings, as it feels it might be too heavy for daytime use for my skin. Even though the cream is very thick, it melts into my skin nicely and doesn’t sit on top feeling greasy or uncomfortable. My skin feels hydrated and nourished after use and the next morning I notice my complexion looks more even and balanced, as well. 

4/5⭐️ 

I have nothing bad to say about this product whatsoever!

Torriden DIVE-IN Low Molecule Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Toner ✨ Thank you Picky and Torriden for selecting me to try the DIVE-IN line in exchange for my honest review. 
 
Previously I had heard of the Torriden DIVE-IN HA Serum because it has continuously been awarded top places in the GlowPick Beauty Awards and Hwahae App (KBeauty rankings), so of course I was ecstatic to use the matching toner too!

Serum
•Experience•
After toner, I dispense a small amount of serum to my hands and then apply to my face. The serum has a moderate viscosity but is not sticky during application or the dry down. It sets extremely quickly compared to most serums and is suitable for layering/double seruming. I can immediately feel that my skin feels plumper. This is absolutely one of the most hydrating serums that I have found.
 
•Verdict•
I can see why this line is so popular and highly regarded. There is something special about these products. Hyaluronic Acid is a big component in skincare and although it is always an amazing ingredient, Torriden has proven that the bar certainly can be raised--ingredients/quality/effectiveness-- they absolutely matter. Skincare is not one size fits all.
 
Serum 5/5⭐️

I generally prefer to see more immediate pore tightening with my toners, which i did not see with this particular one. I still think it is a great toner for balancing and hydration though!

Toner
•Experience•
After cleansing, I apply toner to a cotton pad and smooth over my face. This toner is a thin, watery consistency with a very soft light blue color (natural malachite extract). It feels very hydrating and refreshing on the skin. It does not feel tight or drying at all and I felt no irritation. I noticed no fragrance or scent at all. Overall, it was very mild, and my skin felt very moisturized. I think this is a great toner to use to help balance the skin, especially if you find that some cleansers are effective but a bit too drying.

Toner 4/5⭐️

I am happy with the product but I do feel the packaging could use an adjustment on the button top. The release mechanism is visually lovely and unique, but there is a real risk of the product launching out from the dispenser and into unintended places. I made a bit of a mess a few times, even after I was aware of the design. Overall I feel this product is comparable with my skin and I will continue to use it as needed on my trouble areas.

I received the Papa Recipe Eggplant & Carrot Mask Pack, the Noble Rot Lifting Essence, and the Noble Rot Lifting Ampoule complementary from Papa Recipe + Picky in exchange for my honest review.

Noble Rot Lifting Ampoule

•Description•
Similarly to the essence the ampoule targets fine lines/wrinkles and works to improve skin’s elasticity, in a more different formula. Again, it includes Fermented Grape Extract [62%] with added Adenosine and HA. This formula contains two layers [Golden Water Ampoule Layer + Milky Oil Layer] within the product and must be shaken well before use. It is recommended for sensitive and dry skin types.

•Experience + Verdict•
I chose to apply the ampoule as more of spot treatment since it is more oily. I have dry skin and it has been slightly inflamed on my upper cheeks/nose area due to my Butterfly Rash (SLE). I applied the ampoule in the evening so that it could have more absorption time. It has a creamy colored milky appearance. Even with it having the oil layer, it still set into my skin very quickly. The ampoule has a silky consistency and feels very nice on the face. I did notice less dryness and redness with no irritation. It does have a slight scent to it, but it was not strong.
