sorry not sorry for the shocking title but to my surprise, I won four or five or six of the recent Picky giveaway collaborations (the picture selection quota is full - hopefully Picky team can increase it to 5). Not to brag but thats a lot 😂 and also it's my first time winning that many giveaways, consecutively under Picky's multiple collaboration with well-known skincare brands.

Am so thankful and pretty much stoked for the luck I had this time around (for Picky giveaways) too much that I started to wonder, will 2022 spare me some of it? hahah

wish me luck and pray for my wellbeing as I expect these parcels will likely arrive at the same time too. 

just want to list them here:
- The Potions
- Real Barrier
- Rovectin
- Be The Skin
- Avoskin
- By Ecom

ps: I know there might be some people whom will say, I have the option to reject them but frankly, I'm not sure when will I have the chance to own and try these brands if not through these giveaway collabs.

SERIOUSLY, PICKY?!

but look at how extra thet packaged the ampoule. I seriously felt guilty 😞 I mean, imagine how much the international postage would cost (not to 1 winner but 3000!). annnnd the inside design of the box is so pwettyyyy~

STYLEKOREAN TMRM Sunscreen Party

nothing particularly bad though I would appreciate if more toner comes with a spray head/nozzle

💦 Provides soothing care while mildly exfoliating the skin
💦 Very liquidy texture-wise and is crystal clear with no distinguishable scent; zero stickiness nor tackiness after-usage
💦 Formulated with 90% CE extract, niacinamide, madecassoside (MadeWhite) and Singreen (natural exfoliator) 
💦 I prefer to wear it with a nozzle spray >>> with cotton pad, that way it'll cover a wider area of the face (cheapskate detected 😀)
👉🏻 Generally, it's just a normal toner for me because I don't think it made any difference to my skin or my blemishes over the period of 2~3 weeks of usage. Except for the fact that I like its consistency. Other than that, it's only a so-so toner for my skin (I'd give it a 3.5/5 ⭐)

The NAHHHS 🙅🏻‍♀️
I'll cut it short—not really fond of the pad material. Like superrr not fond ☹️ I know it's suppose to be as soft as cotton but at least make it intact (like sealed around the curves/edges). At times, I feel like I wasted one chance to make this one a long-lasting product just because I accidentally picked up 2 pieces. And it's not a one-time thing as I think huhu.

A strong yet gentle care for the blemished skin as this toner pad contains 820,000ppm of onion extract to fight off the dead skin cells. 

🧅𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍
NA-IS-SEU 🙆🏻‍♀️
It's soaked and drenched with toner goodness, I can keep it on my cheeks forever (jokes aside, never wear any sheetmask/toner pad until they dried out on your face ☝🏻). Non of significant scent that I noticed, but a fade scent of something (can't really pinpoint what scent is that). Other functions are like a normal toner pad, really didn't do much on my blemishes but I appreciate the soft cottony feeling of the pad. It should be good for sensitive skin (YMMV ✌🏻). 

On the other hand, few tiny bumps made its way to my face the day after, after I did the 5/7 Skin Technique for this toner; a reaction which I did not expect 😂 but yes, maybe it's just a normal reaction despite I've patch-tested it. 

#raiiireviews ISNTREE Yam Root Vegan Milk Toner @isntree @go.picky @pickyrewards 

🍠𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐈𝐓
Made with 80% Andong yam root extract, this toner aims to provide deeper hydration in order to protect damaged skin barrier

🍠𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍
Firstly, the light cream color reminds me of almond milk. Another scentless toner. But the texture/consistency somehow resembles a normal watery toner + a bit of heaviness to it (imho) 🤔 As I usually just pour it directly onto my palm and pat the product to my face, I don't have any problems about it. However, I really suggest to use this toner with a cotton pad instead — to really take the advantage of the claim mentioned ("provide deeper hydration"). I did used the cotton pad method but nothing significant on the claim that amaze me.

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

- kinda hard for me at first to measure the 15g of toner/water (since it said liquid to be mixed in 1:1 ratio with the mask powder), but once you get the "feel" of it, you'll get the awesome batter consistency 😂 got it? 
- though some areas are lathered thick, but for face corners (hujung or tepi muka), the batter can be quite thin (also depends on how you spread it); which makes it hard to be removed later. though it can be removed with wet wipes but for me, you kinda lose the purpose of wearing rubber mask which if it dries completely, you have to wipe it all.

Personally, I love the #GreenTea 🌿💚 >>> #RosyGlow🌹❤️

Therefore, for my impresssion on both, let me list out the pros and cons of this rubber mask 😙

𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙎
- came in individual 15g sachet, means you get 60g/box (15g x 4 sachets per box) 
- each purchase of the set (rosa glow & green tea) should entitled you to a rubber spatula with @reverietouchhq engraving on the handle 🥰
- all informations on ingredients list, benefits and instruction manual are readily available on and in the packaging 😉
- mixing manual is given on the "tray"; just pull out the separator tray inside and walla, you can start mixing the rubber powder with your preferred toner. 
- no dripping batter unless you made it so. hence, it's better to adjust the volume of liquid as you mix them together. 
- the thick rubber mask can be easily pulled off the skin, not sticky and very fast to dry (5-10 mins only) 
- I can detect subtle rose and green tea fragrance from the powder, but if you're the type that is super okay with fragrance, I recommend you to mix the powder with toners of similar fragrance.
- i loooove the immediate cooling and soothing sensation once it applied on the skin; acts like a water mattress/blanket on my skin to tone down the heightened skin temperature. 

Over-massaging can lead to the product activating its secondary usage, the peeling. Must layer correctly to avoid overpiling

I really really lurv the consistency because it reminds me of one of my fav snail essence. The texture, the way it glides on my skin and the plump effect it gave — major love. I find it to be a bit more 'watery' (or should I say slimy 🤔) because it drips faster upon contact with my skin's heat. 

I also find its alternative usage, which as a peeling gel/serum, as very useful though it weirds me out initially. The way it kinda 'emulsify' (in this case, it turns into water droplets) after few minutes of soft massage motion on the skin. 진짜 신기하네요 😍 also my first time using such product that offers dual usage separately (as an essence and peeling serum).
