Halo, teman-teman. Beberapa hari yang lalu aku dapat notif shipping info dari EMS untuk paket Picky x Commonlabs Vitamin E Calming Ampoule (batch 1).

Tapi sebelumnya aku meminta teman-teman untuk nggak kapok ikut event Picky yaa~
FYI, Picky sendiri juga nggak tau ekspedisi yang akan digunakan oleh brand-brand yang ikut itu apa karena yang memilih ekspedisi adalah brand-nya langsung.
Dan sebelum Commonlabs menggunakan ekspedisi EMS, tentunya sudah melalui berbagai pertimbangan banyak hal.

Ini asumsiku aja, tapi menurutku Commonlabs memilih ekspedisi EMS (padahal sister brand-nya, SKIN1004, dulu itu pakai voucher Lazada) karena untuk mengurangi risiko penyalahgunaan voucher... Temenku ada yang bilang, katanya pas giveaway Picky x SKIN1004 yang dulu itu ada yang ngeshare kode vouchernya ke orang lain jadi sistem seller SKIN1004 di Lazada juga eror, vouchernya nggak bisa dipakai.

That's why, kemungkinan besar Commonlabs ingin menghindari hal-hal seperti itu.

"Lalu kenapa nggak pakai EFS atau DHL aja yang free at all?"

Kita nggak tau ya berapa biaya yang dikeluarkan oleh Commonlabs berapa untuk shipping produknya. Barangkali ketika pakai EFS/DHL, sistemnya rumit atau harus bayar lebih daripada EMS atau lainnya. So guys, please jangan salahkan Picky ataupun Commonlabs dan jangan kapok ikut event Picky selanjutnya ya 🥺

Lanjut....

Domisiliku Pati, Jawa Tengah dan yeahhh .... Aku merasa keberatan dengan estimasi pajak+handling fee yang harus aku bayar.
Kemudian, aku menghubungi Picky via email support@gopicky.com terkait kegelisahanku ini 🙂

Mereka menyampaikan bahwa gapapa kalau barangnya ditolak karena pajak tinggi atau alasan lain yang reasonable. Yang penting, jangan lupa konfirm ke pihak Picky terkait alasan penolakan paket dan mengisi form feedback juga.

Selanjutnya, aku juga menghubungi pihak Bea Cukai Semarang.
Aku tanya 2 hal, estimasi pajak yang harus dibayarkan dan prosedur retur barangnya bagaimana.

Terkait estimasi pajak, adminnya mengacu pada nilai jual produk dari web Commonlabs korea sebesar KRW 22,000 atau sekitar IDR260k (bukan harga dari Picky sebesar 19$ )
Dari harga tersebut, estimasi pajak yang harus kubayarkan sekitar Rp52.000 (belum termasuk handling fee dsb). Jadi nominal yang harus dibayar akan bertambah lagi kalau sudah sampai alamat tujuan.

Kemudian, aku tanya perihal prosedur retur barang gimana. Adminnya kirim form retur lalu kuisi dan ditandatangani (nggak perlu pakai materai) dan dikirim balik ke admin tersebut by WA.

Setelahnya, admin bakal kirim semacam invoice return produk gitu kalau returnya udah diproses.

Sebenarnya aku sedih karena hal ini tentunya nggak bagus buatku, tapi mau gimana aku merasa keberatan dengan nominal pajak+handling feenya (meskipun secara nominal tetap sangat murah, bahkan jika dibandingkan dengan nominal untuk beli produknya aja) dan sejujurnya ada keperluan lain yang lebih penting 🙂🥲

Honestly, aku melakukan hal ini juga setelah melalui berbagai pertimbangan berhari-hari, memikirkannya berkali-kali dan mendiskusikannya dengan pihak-pihak yang terkait.
Aku nggak bermaksud untuk nggak menghargai effort brand Commonlabs apa gimana, tapi ada hal lain yang harus kupenuhi dan pastinya ada yang harus dikorbankan.

At least, aku nggak PHP Picky dan Commonlabs karena sejak sebelum memutuskan hal ini, aku sudah mengonfirmasi dan melakukan follow up progress return dengan Picky dan Bea Cukai.

Buat teman-teman yang tetap ambil paketnya, selamat ya dan menurutku produknya sangat worth to try dan menarik banget buat dicoba 💖

🏆 Exciting News Alert! 🏆

This is a good product. Overall, I would highly recommend the Benton Heartleaf 80 Skin Toner Pad to anyone who’s looking for a gentle yet effective toner pad that can help them achieve a healthier, more radiant complexion. It’s a great product that delivers on its promises, and it’s definitely one that I’ll be keeping in my skincare arsenal for years to come.

As someone who has struggled with skincare issues in the past, I’m always on the lookout for products that can help me achieve a healthy, glowing complexion. So when I heard about the Benton Heartleaf 80 Skin Toner Pad, I was intrigued.
From the moment I started using this product, I could tell that it was something special. The unique blend of ingredients, including the Houttuynia cordata extract from Mt. Jirisan is a real game-changer. It’s aged for 24 hours at a low temperature to stabilize and activate its own ingredients, which means it’s milder and more effective at soothing and healing the skin.
But what really impressed me about this product was the four types of acid it contains - AHA, BHA, PHA, and LHA. These are dead skin cell care ingredients that work together to gently exfoliate the skin and manage excess oil and waste. What’s more, the acids are applied in an optimal ratio to ensure that they’re safe for daily use and won’t irritate the skin.
I also appreciate that the Benton Heartleaf 80 Skin Toner Pad promotes mindfulness in my skincare routine. With its gentle exfoliating properties and ability to manage excess oil and waste, it helps me to achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion without the harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubs that can cause irritation and damage.
Using the Benton Heartleaf 80 Skin Toner Pad is a breeze, thanks to the built-in tweezers and one-touch cap container. The pad itself is divided in half along a dotted line, so you can use it for wiping after an intensive skin pack on areas with pores or dead skin cells. And the herbal scent is refreshing and invigorating, making me feel like I’m really pampering my skin.

Thia product is really worth to try. If you're ready to bid farewell to tired eyes and give your under-eye game the boost it deserves, I wholeheartedly recommend giving the Heimish Matcha Biome Hydrogel Eye Patch a shot.

Today, I'm here to spill the tea on a game-changing skincare gem that has completely transformed my under-eye woes: the Heimish Matcha Biome Hydrogel Eye Patch! 💚✨If you're tired of dealing with tired eyes and longing for a luxurious treat that actually delivers, then you're in for a treat!

Let's dive right into the nitty-gritty details, shall we? 🌟

First things first, let's talk about the star of the show: matcha! As a matcha enthusiast, I was beyond excited to give these patches, infused with the power of antioxidant-rich green tea, a try. Matcha is known for its detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties, and boy, does it live up to the hype when it comes to banishing puffiness and reviving tired eyes!

When you pop these babies on, you'll experience a refreshing and soothing sensation that instantly melts away the stress and strain. It's like a mini vacation for your under-eye area! 🍵💆‍♀️

Now, let's talk texture. These hydrogel patches are the real deal! They adhere to your skin like a second skin (impressive, right?), ensuring that all those nourishing ingredients are fully absorbed. No more worrying about them slipping and sliding all over the place—they stay put like champs! 🙌✨

But here's the juicy part: the results. Dark circles and fine lines, meet your match(a)! With consistent use, I've seen a noticeable reduction in those pesky shadows and a softer appearance of fine lines. It's a total game-changer! 😍✨

And that's not all, folks! These patches also deliver a surge of hydration and nourishment to your delicate under-eye area, leaving it plump, smooth, and radiantly glowing. Say goodbye to dry, dull skin and hello to a refreshed, rejuvenated look! The best part? They're suitable for all skin types, so no one is left out of the matcha party! 🌿💧

For me, there is no significant shortage of these products. It&#39;s just that, I don&#39;t recommend this product for people who have dry skin.

I am very interested in trying this product because this product is claimed to be able to clean blackheads on the skin of the face.
Every time I wear this product, my skin feels cleaner. However, I did not feel any significant changes when using this product several times.
In addition, this product is also less suitable with my skin type that tends to dry.
As a result, every time I finish wearing this product, my skin feels drier and a bit sore.

The foam is a little so have to wear a shower puff and the original version don&#39;t have perfume or strong scent.

The product The Bath Box Goats Don&#39;t Lie Original is very good to use. My skin feels fresher and doesn&#39;t feel slippery. The foam is a little so have to wear a shower puff. The price is also quite affordable and there are variants of 300 ml and 500 ml. In addition to the body, I usually also use this product on the face because it makes the face feel smoother and brighter. I really recomend this product for you who find natural bodysoap 😀🙌🏼

I have got a little issue with the dropper because it is straight, which makes it easy for the ampoule to drip when used. Other than that, there is no problem.

So far I feel good using this ampoule 💖

ROVECTIN CLEAN LHA BLEMISH AMPOULE
(I received this product for free from @go.picky and @rovectin_global as a thank you for my honest review)

This product is one of the Robectin Clean Line products. This product contains the following hero ingredients:

✨ 85% Neroli Flower (aka. Bitter Orange) Water as an anti-inflammatory and soothing skin
✨ Glutathione as an anti-oxidant
✨ Niacinamide as an brightening skin
✨ LHA (lipohydroxy acid) acts as a peeling of the skin and caan treat acne. This ingredient is similar to BHA, but the LHA molecule is larger and safe for sensitive skin

In addition to these ingredients, this product also contains hyaluronic acid, allantoin, panthenol and beta-glucan.

FYI, this product available in two size: 15ml and 50ml and I'm trying a size of 15ml right now.

I got this product a few days ago, and here is my impression of this product.

🌿 This product has a simple package with mini dark green transparent glass dropper bottle. The texture of the product looks thick, but when applied it becomes lighter and is well absorbed by the skin immediately after application.

🌿 The product does not leave a sticky or burning sensation. Also, because this product is fragrance-free, it is safe for users who are allergic to fragrance.
