Hello, so I've joined this giveaway a good few weeks ago and I noticed that they extended the deadline from April 12 to April 18 but didn't change the schedule poster in the event's page. Now, I met the minimum requirement for sure win (invited 3 people at Picky) but I still haven't received an email that I won until now. Do you think this giveaway is still legit? Because I honestly think that what's happening is starting to be a little bit fishy.

P.S. I'm sorry if it looks like I'm questioning Picky's credibility. I'm just really concerned about this.

Update: I just received an email that said I won! OMG! Hope you did too! Also, don't forget to confirm the product before the deadline! Congratulations, lovelies!

CosRX 3000 Winners Giveaway

I just saw this and I was so shocked! They're letting us use our Picky Points to shop? Picky, marry meee!

Wishtrend Shopping with Picky Points 😱

Thank you so much, Picky and L'essential! This giveaway arrived just one day after my birthday. My birthday is March 18 and these products arrived at March 19. Thank you so so much! I really appreciate it.

L'essential x Picky Giveaway

Hi! I have installed this skincare app that mainly focuses on sun protection. I hope Picky can have this feature in the future too. But in the mean time, its name is IONIQ and you can install it from Google Play Store for free (not sure if it's available in App Store, I'm using Samsung). 

It tells you about the UVA/UVB levels at your location and recommends the perfect SPF amount you need based on a skin type assessment that you need to answer beforehand. It also tells you how often you should reapply and how many minutes you can stay under direct sunlight before sun damage.

IONIQ Sunscreen App

Thank you so much, Picky x Wishtrend for this wonderful opportunity! I only bought a few items because I only had a few points on Picky (20,000+ points). I think I used them wisely though and I bought the things that I haven't tried before. I'm saving points now so that I'd be able to shop a lot when this opportunity comes again.

I'm still so happy. My skincare junkie heart is jumping. 💖

✨HOLY GRAIL EXFOLIATING TONER✨
Hyram says toners are not important. I&#39;m sorry Hyram, but I beg to disagree. Skincare brands are so innovative these days that they put so much good stuff into their toners that it&#39;s a shame if you miss all the benefits that these products offer just because you wanna save a few bucks. I love toners, it&#39;s not necessarily my favorite part of my skincare routine, but I do love the feeling of putting on a toner all over my face. Especially if I can see the results of regular use on my skin.

This toner is one of those toners that are inexpensive, unassuming, but actually delivers results. This toner has exfoliating effects but it does the exfoliation in a very gentle way that you can actually use this everyday as long as you don&#39;t have other exfoliators in your daily routine. For me, since I have prescription benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and isotretinoin daily, I use this maybe once or twice a week. You know, a pick-me-up when I feel like my skin is looking a little dull. 

And IT WORKS EVERY TIME! My skin brightens when I put this on. It also helps reduce the appearance of pores. I totally recommend this!

There&#39;s nothing that I don&#39;t like about this product.

✨SOOTHING AND BRIGHTENING SERUM✨
This serum worked well on my skin and gave me great results. Here&#39;s how it fared during my one-week trial run of using it:

NIGHT 1: I think I should say this ahead, my dermatologist put me on Accutane and so my skin is dry and easily irritated. My normally oily skin is dry and irritated in my undereye area and it hurts even if I wasn&#39;t touching it. That&#39;s why I was pleasantly surprised that it didn&#39;t even hurt when I put the L&#39;essential Double Serum on it. The next morning, I woke up to a bright and less irritated skin, which I really loved.

NIGHT 2: I put this serum on and used the L&#39;essential Triple Cream on top of it. Sadly, it looks like my skin doesn&#39;t love the moisturizer as much. A part of my cheek was itchy and it turned a little red when I scratched it gently. The little patch of red went away after half an hour. I swore to never use them together again.

NIGHT 3: I put this serum on before putting my prescription benzoyl peroxide. I should remind you that I am using prescription oral and topical medicines for my mild acne and hyperpigmentation. The morning that I woke up, there was no irritation and it felt like my benzoyl peroxide was set nicely on my skin.

NIGHT 4: I use this serum before putting on my &quot;The Inkey List Vitamin B, C, and E Moisturizer&quot; which has a pretty thick consistency. I woke up to a bright and well-hydrated skin the next morning.

NIGHT 5: I was loving this serum so much that I bought it as a gift to a close friend of mine a.k.a &quot;Miss Anne of Green Gables&quot;. (I will post the screenshot of the e-receipt.) I put this on before the prescription benzoyl peroxide and I don&#39;t know if it was just me but it felt like the benzoyl peroxide was absorbed faster into my skin.

DAY &amp; NIGHT 6: I included this in my morning skincare routine. Using this in the morning before putting on my &quot;CosRX AC Collection Lightweight Moisturizer&quot; and sunscreen gives me a brighter skin (or is it just me? 😅). Anyway, I&#39;ll post a picture so you be the judge!

NIGHT 7: This is the last night of the test run. I intentionally didn&#39;t use this in the morning in order for me to see how my skin looks like without it. I think my skin is still glowy but it doesn&#39;t look as bright compared to when I&#39;m wearing it. My verdict? This serum is great for daytime and night time skincare routines. Will I repurchase? Absolutely!

Nothing. I love everything about this product.

This is the best toner that I have ever tried! 

First stop, packaging: the packaging is neat, clean, easy on the eyes and very informative! I appreciate that they bothered to translate everything to English from Korean because other Korean skincare products simply don&#39;t. 

The product is also contained in a transparent dark green bottle with a pretty clean and informative label. Nothing fancy, but I like that they took the time to educate their customers about the ingredients. 

The product, which is what mostly matters, is absolutely a must have for acne-prone people like me. It has a lot of great ingredients like glycerin, niacinamide, tea tree derivatives, allantoin, urea, papaya fruit extract, salicylic acid, and Vitamin C. Together, these ingredients help exfoliate, brighten, and moisturize the skin. 

Upon using the product, I found it to be gentle on my skin. I have sensitive skin but I have also developed a tolerance for acids and exfoliators since I have been using them since I was thirteen. I have irritated skin all over my undereye area and I didn&#39;t even feel a tingling sensation when I wiped this product all over my face. I am also using a kinda greasy moisturizer because I needed something heavy ever since I used isotretinoin (accutane) which left my face excessively oily when I was still using my old toner but my skin&#39;s sebums are now under control ever since I used this toner. 

5&#47;5, would absolutely recommend, would absolutely repurchase. I&#39;d say it again, this is the best toner that I have ever tried! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

MY HOLY GRAIL AFFORDABLE SUNSCREEN💖✨

This sunscreen has a ton of good ingredients, namely: 
-Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
-Adenosine
-Zinc Oxide
-Tea Tree Oil
-Different forms of Centella Asiatica
which when mixed together, can deliver great results like evening out your skin tone, soothing your skin barrier, slowing down aging, brightening your skin tone, and protecting you from the sun. It can also be anti-inflammatory due to its tea tree oil content.

I also like the matte-like consistency of this sunscreen when applied in my face. Since I am on the oilier side, I found that creamy sunscreens often make me look greasy after an hour or two of application. Since this suncreen has a matte finish, it helped me control the oily look on my face, which is something that I really love about it. 😍

This sunscreen has a white cast. However, since my skin is on the fairer side of the spectrum, I don&#39;t really mind it. It also has a tea tree scent because of the tea tree oil in it but even my sensitive skin doesn&#39;t really mind that.

I also like the price range of this product. It has a lot of great ingredients at a very affordable price. Sunscreens are often expensive because of the long process that they undergo in order for them to be effective, but I was able to purchase this for only ten dollars. Nothing beats that. I totally recommend this sunscreen, especially if you have an oily skin!

As much as I love this product, I must mention these things that I don&#39;t love about this:

1. It is expensive. A 30-mL bottle costs 30 US dollars, that&#39;s literally a dollar for 1 mL! If you can afford it, go ahead though. I think it&#39;s worth the splurge.

2. You have to store it in your refrigerator in its box away from the sun if you want it to last you for months. Never put it in direct sunlight. This is because Vitamin C is very unstable and oxidizes quickly.

💖BRIGHTENS THE SKIN AND GRADUALLY FADES DARK SPOTS&#47;ACNE MARKS💯💖

First of all, thank you Wishtrend and Picky for your amazing collaboration. Because of that, I was able to try this serum out. Here&#39;s what I think about it:

The product comes in a dark red packaging with a lot of informative details written on its box such as the ingredients, precautions, directions for usage, and some overview info about the serum. I personally like it when brands do this because it helps me become more knowledgeable about the product that I&#39;m using and also because it is more transparent, right?

The product inside is enclosed in a 30-mL dark bottle which has a plain cap and a pipette cap which you can use alternatively to cover the product inside. I prefer to use the pipette cap since it makes it a lot easier to get the product using the pipette than to pour it over on my palm. The product itself is a transparent fluid with a hint of yellow and it resembles water when it comes to viscosity. However, it becomes sticky when you start to put it on your skin.

So, I&#39;ve been using this product for 12 days now and I can say that it takes a couple of minutes before it sets on your skin. It is important that you let it set first before putting another product on top of it to maximize its efficacy. I also noticed that it made my complexion look brighter and my acne marks were lighter now than they were before. However, I think it does the job slowly so don&#39;t expect instant results. It&#39;s been almost two weeks that I&#39;m using this and I still have a long way to go in order for me to see the results that I want.
