Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil
Really impressed with the Shu Uemura Ultime8∞ Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil. It helps me to effectively remove my makeup when I use it as a first cleanse and it's easy to remove with my 2nd cleanser!

First of all, thank you @drbrandt & @trustbeautycrew for allowing me to test Needles No More, No More Baggage Eye De-puffing Gel!
Let's start with the packaging! The tube is visually appealing and easy to squeeze in order to dispense the desired amount, but I feel like I'll end up with a lot of wasted product left inside once it gets closer to being empty. I don't think I'll be able to squeeze it all out, instead I'll probably end up cutting the tube open to get to the remaining product left on the inside walls of it.
Now, for the product itself.
The texture is very pleasant when I only apply one layer. If I apply more than one layer, I experience pilling, no matter how little I use, even after letting it dry all the way per the usage instructions. The peach tint does help to neutralize the appearance of dark circles in addition to the ingredients working in the background, but I need to wear makeup over this product because it's noticeable when I wear it alone.
It's can be difficult to warm between your fingers before application without creating a mess, especially because I only use one finger to dab it on (applying it the same way I do with eye cream).
I'd recommend keeping the tube in your pocket so your body heat starts warming it while you are getting ready and doing the other steps of your skincare routine leading up to applying No More Baggage. Then when you're ready to apply the product, it's already been warmed up a bit. I'd still recommend further warming it with your fingers though, as the usage instructions say to do.
Final thoughts:
No More Baggage immediately starts to improve the appearance of dark circles under my eyes but I don't feel like I'm getting any reduction in under eye bags. This may be because I haven't been using it long enough yet. This would not deter me from using the product in the future, but it's worth mentioning: I noticed a stinging/burning sensation at times, and I don't have sensitive skin, so it may not be suitable for everyone.

I have oily acne prone skin and I SWEAR by the LRP Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser for Oily Skin. It works for me much better than the medicated one with salicylic acid and I've never tried the blue Toleriane one because the one I mentioned is perfect.
I figured with these wipes I would have a similar result that I get from using the Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser for Oily Skin, but I was sadly mistaken.
When using my beloved cleanser, it doesn't feel harsh on my skin and leaves my face nice and matte. Using these wipes is irritating on my skin. They aren't soft at all and within an hour, my face looks like I washed it with butter. Doesn't seem to have helped my acne at all either.
The package also doesn't want to reseal and stay sealed which is another disappointment. Wouldn't recommend buying them for travel because of that reason. I think I'll stick to using the sebium micellar water from bioderma with a cotton pad in the mornings or maybe try the sebium wipes... All I know for sure is I wouldn't recommend these or buy them again. Hopefully that helps someone.

I won the Centella Ampoule by Skin1004 using the Picky app!
I was so excited to try it because I have super acne prone skin -- I struggle with hormonal cystic acne along my cheeks, jaw and neck. The Centella Ampoule is supposed to help fight acne by reducing excess sebum & oil production. It's also supposed to help soothe blemishes and irritation, hydrate the skin, and can even help improve dark spots and hyperpigmentation. It's suitable for both oily And dry skin. Basically a win for everyone, right?! The packaging is also visually appealing and I don't mind the scent.
I've been using this product at least twice daily since receiving it, applying to clean skin and letting it fully absorb. It does a decent job at moisturizing my face but other than that, I haven't noticed any improvement in acne, redness, skin sensitivity, texture, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, or anything else. To be completely honest, I'm disappointed because I had high hopes. Skin1004 is a brand I've wanted to try for a long time and Centella Asiatica is all over the place lately as a popular ingredient in skincare, so I was hoping to see positive results from using this. Since I haven't had any negative side effects, I will continue to use it until the bottle is empty (which will probably take a long time because it's enormous), but I don't think I will purchase it when I run out.

I won the Lagom Cellup Micro Foam Cleanser from a Picky giveaway.
My skin is oily and breakout prone. My experience with this cleanser: No reduction in breakouts, skin feels dry, tight, and dehydrated after using. The product description says "An ultra moisturizing foam cleanser with micro-bubbles that leaves skin deep-cleaned with no dryness" so I'm pretty disappointed!
