This topic has been going for a while but I don’t think I was brave enough to bring it up till today I decide to open up and share a couple of things. 

It took me a lot to be here typing all of this out. Recently I just started my skincare page after years of contemplating if I should even do it due to my passion for it. But an incident happen, someone dm me told me that I had a similar vibes with another account. I was honestly bummed and disappointed because I got most of the inspiration on Pinterest. It may be a small thing to most but it was huge to me. Even tho I barely post anything because I just started. After that day, I don’t even know if I wanna continue doing it because I was scared like what if people come and attack me again. 

So I’m here to ask what makes a product review reliable to you? What makes a product review great? As much as a detailed review is important but what really makes up a good review? What is the factor that won’t make people think that you’re copying someone else or simply just being inspired from another account? 

I don’t ever thought I’ll be sharing this to a huge platform. But I hope we can be open about this together 🙏🏻
