Hello Pickies!

As you can guess from the title, yes I received broken item from The Potions; specifically the hyaluronic acid serum. My bad that I didnt record any unboxing video to provide a much better evidence.

The HA bottle was completely broken and shattered when I unboxed the package. The serums were placed in a huge box without any protection. There is only this sleeve box that holds all 3 serums together. 

As you can see, the sleeve box had some wet mark. But I'm amazed that the pipette is still intact with the bottle mouth 🤣

I just thought that maybe the brand would at least provide some protection for their products especially if it involve fragile items. And I hope none of you guys would experiencr the same thing I'm experiencing right now 🥺

P/s: idk why i have trouble uploading this discussion. Every time I clicked "post", I would automatically return to Home lol this is my 5th time trying to upload this 😑

The Potions...broken, shattered 🥲

Hello Pickies! 

I just created a new IG account • @tayy.skin • specifically for skincare product reviews and Picky giveaway (since I just won my first giveaway from Ruruberry). I have yet to post anything on my IG but a new post might come later, probably a brief intro about me. 

I dont really post anything on my personal acc and I dont want to mix my personal acc with reviews. The reason why I created a different acc is because I dont have any friends that are on Picky or really interested in skincare, product reviews etc.

It would mean a lot to me if you guys want to follow me on IG. I will followback each and everyone of you, no worries.

Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰

Hello people 😊 This is just a discussion on cleansing wipes and I would love to hear your answer.

Do you use cleansing wipes to remove your makeup and sunscreen? Or do you prefer double cleansing using cleansing oil/balm/micellar water?

I double cleanse using cleansing oil first and face wash later. I was quite skeptical at first about double cleansing but when I tried, I felt like my skin is much more clean and soft. This is a game changer for my skin.

Differ from cleansing wipes, a lot of people (skin experts and esthetician) does not recommend us to use it. They said cleansing wipes did breakdown your makeups but it will only "push" the dirts into our pores instead of removing it completely. So I never use cleansing wipes. Not to mention, cleansing wipes are harsh and will eventually make our skin strips. They also contribute to environmental waste.

Thoughts on Cleansing Wipes

Hello! It's me again with more product question😂

I am looking forward to try new toner. I would like to ask for your reviews on these toners. 

Have you ever tried either one of them? If yes, which one would you recommend for oily, acne-prone skin? If no, can you suggest any toner that you used/recommend? Thank you 😊

Toner

Nothing particular bad. I recommend you to try trial size before purchasing the normal size to see if it works for your skin.

A holy grail especially for my oily skin. It is mattifying and makes my skin appear less shiny. As it is fluid, the application is easy and absorbs faster than regular creamy sunscreen.

As much as I like the ampoule that comes with the mask, I really dislike the strong "botanical" smell from it. A downside, it leaves my face very sticky and dries up slowly.

The mask claims that the highly enriched face mask hydrates skin instantly and soothes irritated skin with the presence of botanical ingredients.

I assumed that the ampoule used for this mask is the same as the bottled ampoule but was totally wrong! They actually differ from each other as the ingredients are different. But both product deliver the same effect. The sheet mask itself is quite thick and fits my face perfectly! 


Nothing bad particularly. But if you wanted to try this for the first time, do a patch test first to see your skin reaction. Never over exfoliate as it may strip your skin.

I love this exfoliating toner as it does not dry up my skin too much despite its % where it could be too high for some people.

I had no complaints about this product! Everything was great 😆

I really love the ampoule as it is very lightweight. When I rub it on my palms, it feels quite oily and sticky but soon after I applied it my face, it does not feel sticky at all. The ampoule has no smell which is a plus point. My skin feels so soft and supple the next day. The ampoule is very promising for my skin as it provides sufficient hydration and moisture.

My first time trying oil in my routine. I was worried at first since I have an oily skin and I don't like the idea of applying oil directly on my skin. So I mixed the oil with my moisturizer and I love it! The oil itself is very lightweight and very east to mix with my moisturizer. Absolutely no smell. After incorporating this oil into my moisturizer, I feel that my skin has become much more moisturized and fresh.
