What do you do with all your "extra" skincare?
Do you donate it, throw it out, give it to friends and family? 

I've been product testing for the past 5+ years and have always had an abundance of skincare and I would hate to have it expire instead of being used.  I give some of mine away to family (which is a great way for them to find new faves too) and keep the ones I love. What do you do?

Too much skincare??

**UPDATE** its been fixed, you may need to update your app again 

Was there a new update? I can't apply to the Three Farmers giveaway because its asking me to fill in my address on my profile - when I get to the "zip code" it won't let me input letters, just numbers. 

I'm in Canada and have both letters and numbers in my postal code (its not called a zip code here) does this mean I can't apply?

Help! Can't apply for giveaways?!

I have a hard time remembering to make sure that I've twisted enough product out of the tube when applying  - It's not the products fault though. 
I usually forget to twist out more when doing my 2nd under eye area, which sometime causes it to "drag" against my skin instead of glide.

This retinol eye stick is vegan, cruelty free and is formulated with 3% encapsulated retinol which not only smooths away lines and wrinkles but is also gentle on your skin. I'm fairly used to traditional retinol creams but love that this encapsulated formula protects the integrity of the retinol and helps to deliver it deeper into your skin.

This is a serum in a balm, it is super hydrating and gentle on my delicate undereye area. This formula includes encapsulated retinol, squalene, astaxanthin and a power peptide complex. It helps smooth out texture, brighten dark circles and increase moisture & firmness.

 I've only been using this for a few weeks and I've already noticed an improvement in my fine lines. It leaves my undereye area looking brighter, more even-toned and feeling more hydrated.

I love how smoothly this glides on and it leaves my skin feeling very hydrated. I didn't notice any scent to this product and there was zero irritation. I absolutely love that this comes in stick form as it's more hygienic, so easy to use and I wish all my skincare came this way.

It does take some effort to completely absorb into your skin and leaves a slight whitecast (at first). Upon first application (and also my initial thoughts) it seems to go on like a paint - you are pretty much trying to spread a very white cream that doesn't automatically seep into your skin.

I have a very light skin tone so it blended into my skin ok (with some effort) and the white cast did turn into a natural matte finish - but I would imagine this may be an issue for those with darker tones.

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

Torriden Dive In Mild Sun Cream is a non-nano mineral sun cream made with 100% mild zinc oxide. This sun cream is suitable for all skin types (including sensitive) and protects your skin from harmful UVA (Spf 50) and UVB (PA++++) rays. 

Some key ingredients are;
- 10 types of Hyaluronic Acid  - helps to moisturize and maintain hydration both on the surface and deep into your skin while protecting its barrier and improving elasticity. 
- Trehalose - hydrates skin and prevents moisture loss  
- Ceramide NP - protects and improves skin barrier while keeping your skin hydrated and plump.
- Witch Hazel - soothing and helps to reduce rednesss
- Aloe - natually soothing and improves hydration
- Tumeric root extract - brightens and reduces the look of hyperpigmentation
- Jojoba seed oil - hydrates, softens, and smoothes the skin while balancing natural oil production.

I actually have mixed thoughts on this product. I appreciate that its vegan, cruelty-free and its packaging & tube are made from recycled materials.

It has a smooth creamy texture and doesn't contain any fragrance. Once applied I noticed an immediate brightening effect and it leaves a matte finish on my skin. I love that it leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated without leaving any unwanted residue behind.

I have more advanced signs of aging (wrinkles/fine lines/dark spots) I have not been using this too long but since this is geared towards those in their 20s I don't believe I will see drastic results in my mid-30's
- I will update if my views change

This multi-tasking serum is formulated with probiotic ferments which are ideal for restoring your skin's healthy bacteria and improving its moisture barrier. It also includes hyaluronic acid and vitamin E and helps to boost glow, smooth texture, and reduce the look of pores and fine lines. 

It comes in a beautiful dark purple glass bottle with an easy to use dropper. The texture is a bit on the thicker side in comparison to my usual serums and has a slight milky appearance. I love how smoothly this applied to my skin and it absorbed almost instantly. This serum has an enjoyable light scent which seems to fade shortly after applying.

Im a huge fan of hyaluronic acid and use this ingredient regularly in my skincare routine and love the idea of including probiotic ferments. I've only been using this product for a few days but I love how it gives my skin a healthy glow immediately after applying. This formula feels lightweight, non-greasy and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated.

So far this is a wonderful base for my beauty routine and hopefully I'll experience more benefits after continued use.

For some skin types Urea may cause irritation, although I haven't experienced this I would suggest to be mindful of this ingredient.

Indeed Labs Hydraluron Moisture Jelly instantly hydrates your skin.

Some key ingredients are;
✨Hyaluronic acid - One of my favourite ingredients which helps to plump and hydrate skin.
✨PatchH20 - A unique formula which helps prevent "thirsty" skin while locking in hydration and improving your moisture barrier.
✨Fugogel - Another moisturizing formula which also smooths your skin and combats signs of aging.
✨Strelitzia Nicolai Seed Aril Extract - Brightens and evens out your skin tone. It also eliminates under-eye dark circles and puffiness.
✨Urea - Acts as an exfoliant while hydrating skin.

This product comes in an airless pump which is really easy to use and disburses just enough product for my skin. It has a gel-like texture which goes on smoothly without being sticky. This product glides onto my skin effortlessly absorbs quickly and feels very lightweight.

Using this moisture jelly gives my skin an instant burst of hydration, which seems to last throughout the day. It helps improve the texture of my dry/dehydrated problem areas and is an absolute pleasure to use.

I received this product for free from Picky and The Skin House in exchange for my honest review.

The Skin House Wrinkle Supreme Cream is a rich, nourishing cream that improves your skins' elasticity and firmness while reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles.

Key ingredients;
- Red Ginseng 
- 9 types of mushroom extracts
- Adenosine 
- Ceramide NP
- Squalane

When I opened this beautiful glass jar, it was filled to the very top with product. This cream has a smooth, creamy texture which melts into your skin when applied and absorbs beautifully. Despite its rich texture, it feels very lightweight and doesn't leave a greasy or tacky residue behind

I've quickly become a fan of The Skin House after using several of their products, and this cream has quickly become one of my favorites. It provides immediate, nourishing hydrating and leaves my skin feeling soft and supple. 

This product is also cruelty free and has a lovely light, fresh fragrance to it, which reminds me of lemons.
