Hello Everyone ♡ 
As we all try various products regularly, there are some that can be too strong for our skin which can cause irritation and eventually weaken our skin barrier. I have had this happen to me a few times when I was just beginning my skincare journey. Which is why I am wondering, what is your favorite product to use when your skin barrier is compromised? 

In the past, Dr. Althea 147 Barrier Cream worked great for me. I can't wait to hear from you!

Holy Grail Skin Barrier Repair Cream

Hello Everyone 🩷

I am on my second or third day of using this platform. So far, I really enjoy it as there is a great community of like-minded individuals who enjoy skincare and beauty just like I do. 

If any other newbie comes across this post, here are some of the things I recently learned from exploring the app or from lurking and interacting with existing posts!

☆ To be chosen for a giveaway, note that you have to post reviews of existing products that you own. I was under the impression that we only review products we received, but having a lot of existing reviews will boost up our chances of being picked for a giveaway!

☆ You need "picky points" in order to apply for giveaways. Your account comes with 5k points at the start. From there, you can choose to apply for all open giveaway or a select few. Just make sure you look at the giveaway closing dates, as picky does not automatically remove them right away and your points may be wasted.

☆ There are multiple ways to earn " picky points". The ones I have tried are: daily log-in (100 points, it goes higher depending on how many days you have logged in), writing discussion posts (you receive 10 points from upvotes I believe), commenting and liking other posts (5 points iirc), posting a review (with photos and video, I believe I received around 5k from two pictures and one video in one post).

☆ Some products are not in the picky app. I wanted to write a review about Beauty of Joseom's Glow Toner and Purito's Vitanol serum, but it is not listed here.

☆ Some locations (seems to be EU) occasionally need to pay for shipping or tax (about €5).

☆ Be vigilant when responding to emails. Brand reps will usually email with their business email. If unsure, feel free to double check with users in the app or the brands sns page.

☆ Tracking information gets sent late and product may even arrive before you receive tracking information. Just wait patiently and ensure that the information you gave, address + email is correct.

These are the only things I can think of writing, but I hope they will be of some help to someone. Feel free to comment or message if you have any questions 🩷

Picky Information for Beginners

Has anyone else been having difficulty posting their reviews? The glitch where multiple copies of our review being posted is one thing, but there are times where my review of a product won't post (anua niacinamide serum). I also sometimes cannot attach a video or pictures with my review, which is a little frustrating. 

Has anyone found a solution to these issues? For the first one I mentioned, I just learned to be patient and back off with the aggressive tapping, but I'm curious about the other two issues.

Thanks!

Picky App Glitch?

I'm so excited to take a video for this pr I got from Meditherapy! What products did everyone receive? I can't wait to see new posts 🤍

What Products Will You Review Soon?

To all picky veterans ☆ 
I have been wondering how most of you all maintain your picky status. Any tips/tricks/advice? I am now starting to receive a steady stream of pr/giveaway wins, but 40 reviews a month seems like a lot (or is it actually doable?) Let me know how it works for you, thanks ♡

How do you maintain your picky status?

Some colors are not that pigmented once applied on the eyelid, but it is ok as it can be layered.

Slight correction: this product is the Clio Pro Eye Pallette Air 12- Crystal Paw. 
First things first, let's acknowledge the cutest packaging! It definitely fits coquette to a t. The cat in a pearl necklace, the heart gem, the stickers? Phenomenal. 
Going into the colors. This is a cool tone palette. It has all the basic colors you would find in one plus cute glitter shades. It has a solid selection, I just wish there was a color closer to black that I can use as eyeliner. 


I received this product for free from Picky and Beplain in exchange for my honest review.

This product is my current favorite oil cleanser. I have not tried any products using mung bean before, so I was amazed to see this. I usually just consume it as food and other have not noticed other brands using it. I find it really cool.

This led me to read up on the benefits of mung bean in skincare and cross examining it with the effects the oil cleanser had while I was using it, it is definitely legit.

I love that this is an oil cleanser yet feels like water. I did not feel uncomfortable applying it on my skin and felt great while massaging it all over. My makeup was easily remove and I did not have to rub vigorously. While massaging the oil, some blackheads also came out, which was a great surprise. 

If you’re in the market for a new oil cleanser, give this one a try 💚

The formula feels too oily for me, especially when I compare it to other niacinamide serums.

I have dull skin and hyperpigmentation. I was very excited to try this product as those are some of the issues it is advertised for. The serum is bright pink inside the jar but applies clear. It is on the thicker side in terms of consistency and absorbs well on the skin. It feels like a luxurious serum. I have seen some promising results, so just definitely recommend it for people with the same skin problems as me.

The scent is a bit too strong for me. Also, I wish this came with a scoop for easier product consumption + application.

This is a thick and creamy product that applies well on my hair. By itself, it makes my hair look like I just had a blow out. It is of great quality from a premium brand and it is one of my favorite hair masks on the market. One tip that went viral in the past is mixing this mask with any hair oil or even baby oil. I typically mix it with my mise en scene hair serum as an at home treatment and it works wonders.

I really love haruharu wonder. They're one of the few brands that promote naturally sourced ingredients for their products and are cruelty-free. 
Most people seem to think you need harsh chemicals in order to prove the efficacy of a product, but this gel cleanser is proof that gentle skincare products are effective. 
It works well on my skin and does not leave it dry whenever I use it. It comes with various benefits like gently exfoliating my skin and balancing pH. I hope more people try it!
