I received these products for free from Picky and the Potions in exchange of my honest review!
(My first giveaway win yay:D)

I received the package 2 weeks ago, and have been using them twice a day religiously since.
The packaging is gorgeous, they come in a glass bottle, it looks clean, chic, sophisticated, and expensive.
I really like the concept of the brand that allows the user to choose different kinds of “potions” to make the ingredients of the perfect routine for them!

To explain my routine: I applied hyaluronic acid -> peptides after washing my face and toner in the mornings, and added the jojoba oil at the end for my night skincare routine. After that, I always put my eye cream and my cream, because I have a dry skin and I have been in a really cold place during these 2 weeks.

🔮 Hyaluronic Acid Ampoule 20ml

The consistency of this ampoule is reaaaally nice. Viscose but not too thick, spreads like heaven, and gives me a baby skin. It is my first time using hyaluronic acid, and I just understood why it is such a big deal in the skincare world, it gives hydration like a beast and has nothing wrong to it. It’s perfect for me!


🔮 Peptide Ampoule 20ml

Peptides are amino acids that build up proteins in the skin like collagen. They are for firming the skin and, and while they may not irritate you used with other actives, they can be less effective when used with exfoliants, so be careful! This product helped soothe my skin barrier, and made my skin really plump, it didn’t just look plump, but it really was! The consistency is liquidy, and absorbs really quickly. 


🔮 Jojoba Oil Serum 20ml

I don’t usually use oils in my routine. I have used some of them in the past, and they gave me a lot of little pimples and comedones, and didn’t feel like giving me anything good really. I was kind of scared to try this, but as I was travelling and it was really cold, it felt like it was the perfect moment to try another oil, as my skin was reaaaally dry.
The consistency is like any oil, thick and sticky and stays sticky after application. I personnally don’t like it, (but it is how all oils are lol so it is absolutely normal) but after putting my night cream, it was really not that bad.
Whoever! It is a real discovery for me. When I applied this, I did a face massage every night to make it absorb nicely, and it did form a barrier of skincare goodness and didn’t allow anything to evaporate, to give me everything the products could give me. It is reaaally nourishing, as it is supposed to do, and my skin is not inflamed anymore, and this is shocking for me, because it is really sensible.



✨ Overall Review ✨

I was really pleasently surprised of how well my skin received these products. It started out dry and irritated, but every day, my skin became more and more calmed, hydrated and juicy. I did my morning routine every morning, and came back home at 2am every night (after a whole day of coldness I repeat) ; my makeup didn’t move, and I didn’t have dry skin, which is crazy to me as it always happens where I live even if it’s not cold. It is sincerely such and improvement and I am so happy and grateful for this. I will certainly continue to use these!

Thank you for reading and thank you for Picky and The Potions for this giveaway! 🧡

The Potions Hydrating Trio review :D

I have only read good things about Rovectin, but I got to try the cica care balm, and I really didn’t see any point in using this product. I still want to try their skin essentials aqua products tho, did you try them?

What do you think of Rovectin?

Don’t y’all think that the app could be HONESTLY better? 
Picky is GREAT. The team is really nice, the concept is amazing, and the deals and giveaways are incredible!
But the app…
It’s SO SLOW, writing takes ages even on the latest iPhones, it takes like 1-2 seconds to upvote ONE discussion topic, the notifications don’t even want to load and make the app crash, when you click on “remember my info for the next giveaway” it literally never works…. Like it’s so frustrating for me because I want to use this app on a daily basis, but it’s so unfonctionnal that i just don’t want to come and post, comment, etc, so I end up just not using it as a social media.
What do you think? Am I the only one lol?😩

Couldn’t picky be honestly better…?

I received this product for free from Picky and SKIN1004 in exchange for my honest review.

I was so excited to win this amazing giveaway, having already tried a lot of SKIN1004 products.
I actually use the original Madagascar Centella products right now, because they work wonders on me and i know it is a great staple in my skincare routine, so I was already sure that the Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica products were going to be also great.
I received the Intensive Ampoule, the Essense Toner, and the Enrich Cream, a full new routine to test out.

These products are perfect for people with a weak and sensitive skin barrier, as it contains vegan ProBio-Cica (Centella fermented with TECA) and Centella Asiatica extract, both known for their properties to soothe and replenish any skin barrier damage.
They are also great for soothing dry skin, as they contain skin-friendly seed oils, which enhance the absorption of the highly nourishing essence of the products.

Some of the main ingredients of the three products : 
- Lactobacillus/Centella Asiatica Extract Ferment Filtrate is an antioxidant-rich bacterial fermentation filtrate that provides anti-inflammatory benefits for skin. 
- the famous Centella Asiatica Extract promotes collagen production and improves skin elasticity. Ceramide NP is a natural lipid found in the skin that helps protect and strengthen the skin barrier.
- TECA, short for Tiger Grass Extract, soothes and strengthens the skin barrier. Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil and Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil are both excellent emollients that renew and retain moisture in the skin.

After trying the three products together for a little bit of time, I could feel that my skin was really soft and bouncy. My reaaaally dry skin got replenished and moisturized, and i could really tell the difference with the cold Parisian spring breeze:)
They feel luxe, the packaging is nice, the products contain high quality ingredients and are effective.

I overall really recommand them!

SKIN1004 Probio-Cica line

Maybe the fact that is leaves the skin kind of sticky may not be ideal for everyone !

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

I have a dry and sensitive skin, with some acne scarring. This is a serum with a light watery/slimy texture, that leaves the skin moisturized and glowy. If you are aiming for the Korean glass skin, and have a dull and uneven skin tone, this product is for you! It has 10% niacinamide and 2% arbutin, two great ingredients for helping your skin heal from post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
It is also fragrance—free, and does not really smell like anything, which is great for sensitive people!

It is a very effective niacinamide serum, it worked wonders on me! It brightened my acne scars really well and left my skin supple and soft.

I really recommand this product !

Maybe that it may not be moisturising enough for dry skins if used alone

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

This cream is GREAT !
I have a dry and sensitive skin, and this is an absolute holy grail for me.
It is made with snail secretion filtrate and marine collagen which both gives so much elasticity to the skin, mine is so bouncy whenever i use this product, the efficiency is mad.
I have a very complete skincare routine so i just remplaced my actual moisturiser by this one, and i didnt break out, and it did well with the combination of a lot of products. It left my skin plumped, and moisturised, giving me glass skin.
BUT! Maybe it won’t be moisturising enough for dry skins that don’t have a big complete skincare routine like I have. The texture is really slimy and sticky, but when applied it gets kind of watery so it is not a buttery thick cream, and i don’t think it’s main goal is to moisturise a hell of your skin, it’s to make your skin plump and bouncy.
Smells really good too!

Overall greaaat experience for me, I will totally repurchase this! Even to use like sometimes like a mask, it is great. I might even use this like that. A little snail therapy before sleep;)
Oh yeah this is clearly a night cream, don’t use make up on top of this cream, it will be horrible haha 

The only cons i can say are that it has fragance (really at the bottom of the list tho) so keep that in mind, and the price is really high! You don’t get that much of product so it may not be the cheapest price rate you’ll get.

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

This cream is really great for people who have a dry and sensitive skin like me. It is really nourishing, and is really effective when used during the night routine.
It may feel a little greasy and heavy on your face depending in how you like your cream to behave, but as I have a really really dry skin during the winter, this is what I want.
When i used this, my skin felt replenished, nourished and moisturised in the morning. The skin doesn’t feels dry anymore! It is verry efficient.
As i am still in my 20s, i obviously didn’t see any effect on wrinkles as I don’t have any, but it is never too early to take care of them;)

Overall a great experience for me! 

Overall, I think that it is a really great product for the intended public, but not for the people who have dry skin:)

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

I actually have a dry and sensitive skin type.
I don’t really have big pores or imperfections so i didn’t have big expectations on my skin.
I recieved the package late, and when i tested the product, I just knew that it was not made for dry skin. My skin felt so dry I stopped using it, and I gave it to a younger friend with acne and pore problems. I let her test the product before asking her review, and she told me that the effect was really great on her! She said that her oily skin wasn’t near as oily, and she felt that the serum really balanced her skin and made it feel tighter. 
It is made with anti inflammatory ingredients like aloe vera, tea tree, allantoin, panthenol, green tea and these must have been the effective ingredients to control the excess of sebum.

I didn't have anything bad happening while using this product.

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

This serum's color is RED. Like bright red. I didn't expect this, but it is kind of fun to use this, it feels illegal haha.
This is a dark spot/hyperpigmentation correcting serum. It is watery, and very light. I have a dry and sensitive skin, with really bad dark circles. I tried to use a tiny bit of this on them, and I can proudly say that I can SEE that they are not as bad as they always were, after using this serum! It is really effective, my whole skin texture improved after a week, this is a holy grail for me:)
