[Reupload] HOW TO WRITE A GOOD REVIEW

I saw that Picky finally did something about spam reviews so I wanted to share a discussion I did a few months back on how to write a good review ♡ There are also 3 other parts about this :) FIRST RULE: ACTUALLY TEST IT AND BE HONEST! No one is going to kill you if you dislike a product! So what I always learned in school is to start with a introduction sentence what I like to do is write if it works for me or not. Something like "Didn't work for me.." So the user knows in which direction it goes. W H A T ? So in Picky you dont need but for IG and other plattforms Which product are you reviewing? What is it? C L A I M S What is the product supposed to do? What are the benefits using this product? (HIGHLIGHTS) Is there something you want to highlight? Picky has a good feature so you don't need to do it but I always want to add like key ingredients or when the product is cruel free, vegan what ever... I N G R E D I E N T S Not here on picky but I always add a picture of the ingredient list. WHO? Who can use this product? for which skin types is the product? Is it pregnancy safe? Non comedogenic? WHEN? Can you use in the AM & PM? Can you use it everyday? T E X T U R E How is the texture like? Does it spread easily? Does it absorbs fast? S C E N T What does it smell like? C O L O U R Which color has the product? P A C K A G I N G How is the packaging of this product? What type of application has it? P R I C E & A V A I L A B I L I T Y Is it for YOU affordable? If not, elaborate why, why not? Where can you buy this product? Is it limited to a country? (Local products) Maybe information about shipping & site that sells this U S A G E •How did YOU use it? •Did you use it everyday? •Did you used an applicant? Cotton pads? •How many of the product have you use? eg. I only use on pump every night •How many uses you get out of this product? •How long did it last? E X P E R I E N C E •Please mention your skin type if not mentioned somewhere earlier! •How was your skin condition when you began to use it? Compromised? Damaged? Good? •When did you use it? eg after treatment? before serums? •What was the finishing of this product? Was it matt, oily? leaves a grease? • How long did you use it? • How was your skin condition after? • Are you seeing any improvements/change in your skin • Did it lift up to their promise? • How long did it took to see any results? • Any tips you want to provide? P R O • a quick overview what you liked about the product • eg. consistency, • highlights from your experience, • the brand itselfs C O N • what you didnt like • eg. availability, price • certain ingredients F I N A L C O N C L U S I O N What I do is "repeating" my first sentence and draw a conclusion. So you're going back to the beginning and have a "cirle" review. "As mentioned at the beginning this product didnt work for me bc ..." . That what my teacher always preach to have so idk I hope this could helped you a little bit! I know this is not everything! A lot of things are missing! It's just a guide that you can go over when writing a review. I also dont answer all questions. What are other points that you think is important in a review? Just comment and I add them in this post!

woww very complete and detailed ! so far I've only reviewed important things and not details. i thought maybe the product own / picky wouldn't read it, but actually a detailed review is very helpful for those who want to try a product. 😳 Thank you so much for sharing 😍

I agree!! Especially if you are new and still learning to review, you can start small. Stay objective, be honest, and recommend the products you love, and giving reviews will become more natural!
