Hi beauties! 

I just want to remind you that that, no matter what state your skin is atm, with consistency, it will get better💙

Showing you my progression, the first picture was taken in February 2021 and the second one is from July 2021! In just few months, my skin improves by a ton and I am incredibly grateful for that!

My breakouts were really sudden and my skin became like this over just months, I begun getting pimples in October 2021. My skin resulted in this state also because I incorporated adapalene into my routine (I used it since December to mid February), because  I have heard about many people who have improved their acne with it. Now I know I should not have done it without consulting with a dermatologist! My skin got so weak because of it to the point I got an infection on my face. While I was thinking it is just purging and I should continue using it, my skin was crying for help!  That picture was taken on the night I stopped using this retinoid, and I am glad that I did. 

All of this was happening when our country was in a lockdown and it was quite difficult to go to see a derm so I didn’t and I was trying to solve my skin on my own. I wish I could go, but I didn’t 🥲

Nevertheless, since stopping adapalene and focusing solely on repairing and healing, my skin has improved by a lot! And I am grateful for that🥰

Hii beautiful people 💕

I think most of you have already noticed Haruharu’s new release, which is their cult favourite toner but WITHOUT fragrance, essential oils and alcohol ✨

If you were interested in their toner but did not try it because you were afraid of reaction from these ingredients, now you have the opportunity to try the toner without worries 🤩

I was one of the people that received the toner before its release to try it and review it and I LOVE IT🥰 

If you are interested in the product, you can read my review on my instagram page 👉🏼 caths_beauty_diary or here on Picky 😍

(Btw, the packaging is even more stunning than their original one😍🥰)

Haruharu’s new release 🤍

I am so happy right now bc Ive won my first giveaway while being on this app🤩 
And it is exactly what I wanted 🥰

Before, I had been writing my real name and not Picky name in all the previous giveaways, wondering why I was not chosen yet. But I asked about it and realised I was doing it wrong for the whole time🤦🏽‍♀️ 
Thankfully I refilled all the applications with my picky name and it paid off 🤩 

Looking forward to try this balm🥰 thank you Picky and Gentle Hour

My first win on Picky

Hello, 

I really want to add a mist into my routine. What are your favourite ones? Preferably those, which are available on Yesstyle 💕
Thank you🙏🏽😻

Favourite mist

I havent noticed anything wrong with this toner, I like it 💕

This toner is a light, hydrating toner. It contains 50% of Camellia Sinesis leaf water (green tea leaf water) and hyaluronic acid. It doesn’t contain fragrance. 

💚TEXTURE💚
It is super watery and I always feel as if i am  just putting water on my face. 
It sinks into the skin within 30s.

💚EXPERIENCE💚
I really enjoy using this toner. It’s does what it is supposed to do and my skin likes it. It’s not ultra hydrating toner, but bc of its consistency, you can layer it on to give your skin extra hydration. I use two layers of this toner in the evening and one in the morning, but I always make sure to apply it on a damp skin, since it contains HA. 

💚RECOMMENDATIONS💚
I would recommend this toner to people with oily and combinational skin type. This toner offers hydration, but it’s not a lot of it, so (imo) people with drier skin would not be satisfied. Although they could layer this product to get the hydration they need. It’s also suitable to people with sensitive skin, bc it doesn’t contain any irritants. 

❔REPURCHASE ❔
I would definitely repurchase this toner. My skin is completely satisfied with the product. However, this is not an HG for me, so i think i will try a different one when I finish the bottle. But who knows, maybe after trying other toners, I’ll realise how amazing this one truly is😁

I honestly love everything about this product! 💛

It contains 96% of snail filtrate and other beneficial ingredients, such as Panthenol, Allantoin and Arginine. 

Ever since I incorporated this into my routine, my skin is so plump and happy! It does an amazing job at hydrating my skin, as well as helping my breakouts to heal faster. It definitely has a slimy texture (honestly, it’s exactly what you expect from a snail mucin), however it doesn’t leave sticky finish nor any residue on the skin. 

I always use it on a damp skin (spray a little bit of termal water before) and continue with the rest of my routine. It works well even with long routines as well as short ones. 

To conclude, this essence is a beautiful one! If you are hesitating about trying it, please look past the fact that it comes from 🐌🐌🐌 It’s so worth trying, because the benefits of it are much bigger that the few seconds of cringing while thinking about the origin of it 👀 

The only bad thing that comes to my ming is that I didn’t notice anything about my ance. It certainly doesn’t cause any breakouts but I don’t have a feeling it does anything to my already existing ones. 

But besides that, I liked the moisturiser💕

This moisturiser is hypoallergenic, contains white willow bark extract, niacinamide, centella asiatica extract as well as licorice root extract. It is developed especially for acne prone skin

🤍TEXTURE🤍
It has a gel-like texture. It sinks into the skin in a minute and doesn’t leave the skin sticky.

🤍EXPERIENCE🤍
Ive been using this since December as my daytime moisturiser. I enjoy it’s texture and the fact that it does it’s job (as a moisturiser) and I don’t even know about it because it doesn’t leave any residual layer on my skin.  

🤍REPURCHASE🤍
Even though it does nothing to “cure” my acne, i will repurchase it. It costs around 10€ per 50ml (which is in my opinion a good deal) plus i haven’t used a better daily moisturiser for my skin type (combo- most moisturisers make my skin feel suffocated, but this one really feels lightweight on the skin and 🥰) 
I simply enjoy using it.

🤍RECOMMENDATION🤍
I would recommend this moisturiser to who is looking for a light moisturiser for day time. Anybody with oily or combinational skin will, in my opinion, appreciate the moisturiser’s consistency and its other properties 🤍

Honestly, there is nothing that I would not like about this toner. I am impressed by the ingredients, by the pretty package and by the wonders it do to my skin ❤️🥰

HARUHARU Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner FREE of Fragrance and Alcohol 

This toner is made from 95% of naturally derived ingredients. It contains Black rice extract, Hyaluronic acid and Beta-glucan for intense hydration and skin regeneration. this

🌾TEXTURE🌾
It is transparent and has slightly viscous texture. It applies easily with a slip to it. Since it contains Hyaluronic acid, you should apply it always on a damp skin and it absorbs within a minute or two. (I don’t wait till it’s fully absorbed because I continue with the rest of my skincare).

🌾EXPERIENCE 🌾
I firstly heard of the original toner (and the brand) from Fel from Beauty Within. I became super interested in the product and the brand and I had bought the original version as soon as possible. I was really surprised that they have come out with a fragrance and alcohol free version and I immediately knew I had to get it, (bc even though my skin tolerates EOs, I just prefer skincare without it). I was and still am super grateful for being selected as one of the reviewer by Haruharu. Thank you for sending me this toner🤍.

I have been using this toner from the day I received my package. It has a lovely texture and I immediately fell in love with it. It has the ideal viscosity for me (I love it when toners does not feel just like water on my skin🥰) 
It definitely delivers the promised hydration 🤩 even with just one layer! Since I have started using it, my skin is super plump and I haven’t felt any tightness nor dryness. (I even used a clay mask and left it on for a little too long-accidentally, but even though my skin was super dried after, one layer of this toner restored the moisture of my skin🥰 i am really impressed). This toner provides my skin with not only hydration, but my skin feels more healthier then before. 

To conclude, I LOVE IT and I will definitely try other products from haruharu because I have a strong feeling that even the rest of their products will be amazing 🤩.

🌾REPURCHASE 🌾
I will DEFINITELY repurchase this toner after I am done with this one.🤍

🌾RECOMMENDATIONS🌾
I believe that everyone can use this toner, from people with super oily skin to people with dry skin. This toner can be layered easily so the hydration can be altered according to your needs. Additionally, this toner is formulated without alcohol and fragrance so even people with sensitive skin can use it🤩

There is nothing that I would find as a negative to this ampoule! I love it❤️

This ampoule promises to improve the appearance of dull skin and to even out skin tone. The major ingredients in it are Niacinamide, Tranexamic acid and extract from Centella Asiatica. 

✨ᴛᴇxᴛᴜʀᴇ
The texture of this ampoules is very gel-like that melts on your skin and is easily spreadable. It has transparent colour and is filled with little white capsules that easily burst on your skin. It doesn’t leave any significant stickiness and absorbs quickly. 

✨ ᴜsᴀɢᴇ
I have been using this ampoule mostly in my morning routine with the toner from the same line, and occasionally in my evening routine. I put 3-4 drops of this on my face and firstly gently rub it into my skin and than pat it. (I rub it in circular motions to make sure that all the capsules are burst)

✨ ᴇxᴘᴇʀɪᴇɴᴄᴇ
 I have been enjoying this ampoule more than I expected! It has a lightweight texture that leaves my skin nourished and moisturised while it truly brightens my skin! It truly works and my PIE are slowly but SURELY DISAPPEARING🤩 and some of them have been on my skin from October without any improvement and after using this ampoules for less than 3 weeks, they are almost gone😩💖 i am so happy that I finally found something that works for me and if you are dealing with PIE I highly recommend giving this one a try! It helped me a lot and I will definitely be repurchasing this one 🥰

Final rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 (I am truly amazed by the results🤩 so this one is my new HG)

❗️note to the before and after picture, I have also been using TO Azelaic acid to treat my acne for several months and while I have noticed improvements in my PIE from the acid, it has never been so quick as I have experienced after using the brightening toner and ampoule from Skin1004❗️

I received this product for free from Picky and Skin1004 in exchange for my honest review.
