HOW TO WRITE A GOOD REVIEW pt. 2

Thank you for all your positive replies on the last post! Some stuff i want to address ( alot were mentioned in the last discussion) •Please be honest! If you dont have time for a detailed review just do it another time but just dont copy from someone else. Some spend hours for a review so please just dont. •Take your time! I wouldnt rush to do a review. If you cant review it for long I would mention it, too! This isnt a racing competition. A lot of ingredients need time! •Long DOENST mean BETTER! If it is repetitive, most people would loose interest to read it. So dont write 3 sentences about something if you can replace it with one word. (In my next post I have a small cheat sheet with words that help you describing things eg texture, skin,..) •In the last part there were a lot of questions about how to keep it interesting, bc they're afraid that their audience wouldnt read long reviews. FOCUS on your EXPERIENCE! All the other infos are just extra, you dont need to mention everything that I posted in the last part. Some are just not that necessary but it's a good addition to a review. (eg. packaging, availability, price) On Picky it is nice but i understand that on IG you have a max of symbols. So I would focus on the experience part: > How did the product changed/helped YOUR skin? >Pro/Con? >Conclusion (Would you buy it or recommend this?) •EVERY REVIEW IS UNIQUE. We're all different people. We have other circumstances, skin, different writing & layout styles. So don't be scared to write a review if there are 100s already there. Be confident! Dont care what other says. I would read every review if I can. This is YOUR review! •The things I mentioned in the last part can be seen as a check list. Do you need mention everything? Oh heck no!! But what I liked to do before writing a review is to doing a little map where I just collect every info I get and categorize them and then figure out what's important and what's not. •A lot of stuff can be mentioned in one sentence •Just experimenting. Learning by doing (& reading) >> Try to experiment with headings, emojis, fonts, paragraphs & other stuff How I do MY reviews: This is MY opinion! If you dont agree with it, it's totally fine. •I prefer bullet point reviews. To be honest sometimes I'm too lazy to read long ass paragraphs. In my opinion its also more neat and easier to read. •Only my experience part is written full the other parts are rather bullet points. •I love paragraphs! Paragraphs makes your review look more organized and not that long •It goes hand in hand but I love headings so the reader knows what I'm talking about When a product has a lot of reviews not everyone wants to read the basic stuff (scent, texture, price,... ) again and again, so they can jump to my experience part more easily •On IG I do my reviews on slides because IG has a max for words. And I love to design those pages even though it's a pain in the a** •But I'm really proud of it and once you get the hang of it's not that difficult to do it So that's it for part 2. I'm currently working on the next part where I have a small sheet with useful words and expressions. How do you write your reviews? What's important for you?
