On Instagram, I see a lot of people have posts and stories about sponsored products and PR boxes. I get that brands are sending the products for free in exchange for review and exposure. But if you are someone who's literally getting boxes everyday, how do you manage to get through all of these 'free products? 

Personally, I already feel overwhelmed when I see the tower of 5 moisturizers I purchased with my own money. But I know some people have way more than that. Do you actually finish them or do you give them away to family/friends?

People who receive PR boxes, how do you manage?

Hi all! 

I was lucky to have won the Abib 9 piece sheet mask + zinc creme giveaway. I got an email that says the deadline for posting a review on Instagram and Picky is May 11th. For Instagram, I understand the required tags and hashtags. 

But for Picky app, where am I supposed to leave my review? Also, am I supposed to leave a Picky review for every single sheet mask before the deadline? 

Thank you!! 💕

How to leave reviews for giveaways?

Hi Picky Community!

This question is not for me but for my boyfriend. He has short stubble facial hair along his jaw and chin. He frequently picks at his skin trying to pull out in-grown hair because they cause a lot of itchiness. As a result, sometimes he scratches the skin so hard that he bleeds!😭 He tried exfoliating using St Ives before but it didn't do much.

Do you have any advice for him on reducing in grown hair?? Thank you!!

This was my second time trying this essence and I’ve gotten better at applying it on my skin. The Bean Essence is very sticky so some gentle massaging will not cause the stringy-ness to occur. Overall, I find it a very moisturizing essence that goes well with other active products. I like that it’s fragrance free and comes in a petite sized bottle with a workable pump. Although this product is advertised to act as a exfoliator, I probably would not recommend using it that way since it’s a bit wasteful of a good moisturizing product. 

The cleanser does a great job of removing build up of oils, sweat, and sunscreen and overall makes my skin feel clean. It lathers well on damp skin and feels very gentle. There is no fragrance and its natural ‘no-fragrance’ smell is also very faint. There is really nothing I can complain about because this is one solid cleanser!

My least favorite part about this toner is the fragrance. The toner contains lavender essential oil, which smells like burnt or bitter lavender to me.

The toner came in a whopping 300ml
(~10oz) and the packaging is simple yet aesthetically pleasing. The star ingredients of the toner are rice extract and bamboo shoot extract, both are at the top of the ingredient list. This toner also contains hyaluronic acid (duh!) and Panax Ginseng root extract, which has anti-aging properties.

Immediately after application, I can feel my face is getting that quench of hydration. The toner is
quite viscous but feels pretty lightweight. Even though there’s a bit of tackiness, I didn’t mind since I layer a serum and moisturizer on top anyway.

Overall, I think this is a great toner for dehydrated skin! I find myself reaching out for this whenever my face feels tight, especially after a clay mask.

I disliked the heavy fragrance from the essential oils.

The cleanser did the job of cleansing well. There was plenty of foaming when mixed with water.

There is nothing bad about this product. However, I don&#39;t think this cream will provide enough hydration for cold winter temperatures.

The two part texture is very interesting and pretty to look at. I like to scoop the product and mix the cream and gel on the back of my hand before massaging onto my skin. This moisturizer provides enough hydration and leaves a matte finish.
