Ok, so I have never done a discussion on Picky but I had to give a shoutout after waking up this morning…

Last week I went to Disneyland with my hubby and I promised I would not do any of my skincare hobby stuff (he refers to as work) during the vacation. I just happen to check my email the first night while we were waiting for our dinner table. And there is a Picky Giveaway Winner email! I had to profusely apologize to my husband and claim the win! 

Couple days later we come home and I have a miserable cold. Still have it! As I go to bed last night I get another Picky Giveaway Winner email! 
And wake up at 4am still feeling like 💩 and I have yet another Picky Giveaway Winner email!

Thank you SO MUCH Picky for making me feel better while I am feeling 🤧!!! I am so excited to try any and all of the products you have allowed me to review! 

I really can’t tell enough people about this app! It is so user friendly and informative! 

THANK YOU SO MUCH PICKY!!!!

I have been hearing so much about K beauty. Any suggestions on where to start?

I’m trying to find out if Glow Recipes Cleansing Balm is good for dry skin? I also exfoliate frequently so I’m concerned about the exfoliating aspect. What are your thoughts?

Glow Recipes Cleansing Balm

Some might find the cucumber scent over powering.

This is an amazing gentle gel cleanser! I tend to use a lot of active serums in my skincare routine so my skin can get a little dry. This leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped. It has a very pleasant light cucumber scent that makes you feel like your at a spa. It lathers up nicely in your hands but isn’t to foamy. I had some difficulty getting it to lather while using my PMD Clean Smart Facial Cleansing Device though. I love the pump packaging, it gives the perfect amount with just one pump. PRO TIP: I buy the jumbo pump bottle and I bought this smaller travel size pump on Amazon (2 pack for $5). That way I can leave one in the shower and one at my sink.

The scent does not linger on your body for bery long

This moisturizing shower cream gel smells very strong of the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream. In case you haven’t smelled that, it smells like a tropical rum drink you would get on vacation. But not strong of coconut, more of a warm caramel&#47;vanilla scent. I love the smell of this line and it filled my shower with the scent. However the scent did not stick to my body. 

This shower cream gel has a very luxurious consistency. It only generates a light lather. 

I have very dry skin that is also acne prone (including my body). I found this shower cream gel moderately moisturizing. If I was using this at night I would most likely still apply a lotion before bed. But if I used this in the morning I feel like I would be sufficiently moisturized for most of the day. 

I would definitely purchase this product, but as I am prone to body acne I would have to use this every other day. I would recommend to anyone who loves the scent of a tropical vacation! Or who is already a fan of this line! 

I received this shower gel as a free sample from Sephora.

I would not recommend or repurchase based on the fact that the hydration and moisture was so short lived.

I received a this moisturizer as a free sample with MAKE P:REM sunscreen. I liked the sample packaging it came it. It was single use which is good for travel and is very sanitary. However the ingredients were listed in a foreign language. 

When you put this moisturizer in your hands it feels light but when you apply it to your face it is very thick and takes a while to absorb. It has no scent at all. Once absorbed it made my skin feel soft and extremely hydrated. That being said by the time I woke up in the morning my skin felt dehydrated, even when I put an oil on, on top of the moisturizer. I only used this at night because it took so long to absorb. 

It is very affordable, roughly $15 for a 2oz tube.

It does leave a light white cast so I don’t think this would work very well with darker skin tones.

So I am on the journey to find my perfect sunscreen. I gave MAKE P:REM a shot but sadly it wasn’t for me. 

It has a very light “sunscreen” scent that goes away as soon as it is absorbed. When it dries down it has a beautiful matte finish which I loved. But because it dries SO matte it left my skin feeling very tight and dehydrated by the end of the day. I even tried applying it on top of the 3 different moisturizers and it was just to drying.

I would only recommend this for people with lighter skin tones and oily skin.

I would not repurchase only because the ingredients are written in a foreign language.

I received this as a free sample with Make P:Rem Uv Defense Me Blue Ray Sun Fluid Spf 50 Pa 200Ml 676Floz &#47;Made In Korea.I liked the packaging, it has a similar dispensing top to an essence so it doesn’t allow a lot to come out all at once. However on the packaging most of it is written in a foreign language. 

What was written in English was that this was made with fermented botanicals. To my knowledge fermented ingredients are a much better for your skin because they break down the molecules to a smaller size so they are absorbed more easily. 

This cleansing oil had a very thin consistency and was not easy to emulsify. That being said it did remove a full face of makeup and sunscreen (not waterproof makeup). I think this cleansing oil would be good for all skin types because it is so light, unless you are sensitive to fragrance. 

It costs roughly $30 for 5.1oz which is close to the average price for a cleansing oil.
