Hello! I have a question about an issue I'm experiencing. I can join the Derma;B giveaway without any problems, but when it comes to the Flaskin giveaway, Picky is not allowing me to participate, or the "join" button is greyed out. I asked someone else from the same location as me, and they confirmed that they can participate and the button works for them, but not for me. I also have plenty of points. Is anyone else encountering the same problem as me?

Shade 01, named Authentic, takes the Athe Lip Balm experience to another level with its remarkably lightweight formula. It defies the conventional expectations associated with lip balms, offering a feather-light feel that enhances the overall comfort during wear. This departure from the typical heft of lip products is a pleasant surprise, making it an excellent choice for those who seek a barely-there sensation. One of the standout features of Athe Lip Balm is its non-sticky nature. This characteristic sets it apart from many lip balms in the market, providing a smooth application without the uncomfortable tackiness that some formulations tend to leave behind. The absence of stickiness ensures that your lips remain comfortable and unburdened, even as you revel in the vibrant shades these balms deliver.

So far it was good for its formulations and its claims. But it's not suitable for sensitive skin because of the heavy essentials oils and the added fragrances into it. 

Hey there lovielies! I received this product for free from Picky and NEOPHARM in exchange for my honest review.  Now here's my take for the Real Barrier Extreme Cream Original as a sensitive and with combination to oily skintype! 🐬˚˖𓍢ִ໋ 🐋✧˚.🐟⋆

First, their main ingredients. It has Panthenol, Glycerin, and some Essential Oils. Their formulation is unique as these are known for providing hydration, improving skin texture, and supporting skin barrier. 

❄️ Panthenol - also known as provitamin B5. This ingredient helps hydrate, soothe, and repair the skin. Great for sensitive and irritated skin.

❄️ Glycerin - this ingredient also draws moisture into the skin, keeping it hydrated. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

❄️ Some Essential Oils: Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil and Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil can be heavy for oily skin like me and might potentially clog pores for some individuals. The other presence of essential oils (such as Sage Oil, Patchouli Oil, Cardamom Oil, Mentha Oil, Chamomile Oil, Juniper Oil) could be irritating to sensitive skin, especially if your skin reacts negatively to fragrances.

For me, there were no problems when doing the patch test as seen on the video and I've used this for two alternate days to avoid some serious matters as I was very sensitive to essential oils and I sometimes tend to have allergic reactions to them. So far, all what it say are true to its claim! It's quite heavy for me but it's great for adding more hydration to your skin. I also like that this product includes anti-aging benefits! I also learned that this moisturizer has a silicone ingredient in it which is Dimethicone. It also provides moisture without clogging pores, making them suitable for combination to oily skin. But, doesn't mean that it has silicone ingredient, the product silicone-based. This product is a water-based for some clarifications so you don't have to worry about it if you have some preferences to water-based products only. 


Overall, it is good for combination to oily skin type but you might have to do some patch test first for those with sensitive skin type as there was some fragrances added to it. 


I have no problem with this product honestly!!

Shade 11, known as Low-Key, is a mid-toned pink with a slight coral undertone. What's impressive is that the color closely resembles the advertised images, although swatches may appear slightly lighter and sheerer in person. This nuanced shade provides a sophisticated look, making it versatile enough for both casual and more polished occasions. The sheer quality of the swatch adds a layer of versatility to Shade 11. It allows for buildable coverage, making it suitable for those who prefer a subtle tint during the day or a more pronounced color for evening events. This adaptability adds to the overall appeal of Athe Lip Balm, catering to various preferences and makeup styles.

For me, Shade 11 (Low-Key) is a statement of conscientious beauty. The vegan, plant-based formula, combined with a melting creamy texture, provides a nourishing experience that goes beyond the surface. With its commitment to lasting moisture, natural glow, and a beautifully nuanced shade, Athe Lip Balm proves that ethical beauty doesn't mean compromising on quality or style. It's a must-have for anyone seeking a lip care solution that aligns with their values and enhances their natural beauty.

One aspect for me that left room for improvement was the hydrating and moisturizing properties of the formula. Unlike other lip balms that often boast a dual function of color and hydration, this particular variant seemed to prioritize the matte finish over moisture. As a result, the formula may not be the go-to option for those seeking a deeply nourishing and hydrating lip balm. However, for individuals who prioritize the matte aesthetic and are willing to compromise on intense hydration, the trade-off might be acceptable.

Athe Lip Balm in Shade 04, known as Chilli, I was immediately drawn to its warm-toned brick red hue. As part of the Authentic Airy Lip Balm collection, it promised a lightweight and entirely matte finish, igniting curiosity about its performance and impact. The standout feature of this particular lip balm is undoubtedly its captivating color. The warm-toned brick red is a striking and versatile shade that adds a touch of boldness to any look. It's a hue that effortlessly transitions from casual outings to more formal occasions, making it a valuable addition to any makeup collection.

the only disadvantage to this is it may fade slightly over time, the color and plumping effect last only for several hours.


Volumizing Lip Gloss 💗ྀི
Shade: Scotch
🩷 30% - compared to 70%, this is a lighter shade with more subdued version. It's warm, caramel brown that is softer and more wearable for my everyday looks! it's rich and i like how it is more approachable for a natural yet polished appearance. 

i love their volumizing lip gloss because of the plumping effect, it has no uncomfortable tingling that some lip glosses have. the texture is non-sticky too and it's smooth.
