I've switched almost all of my skincare and body products to Korean Beauty brands but have only tried a few hair care items made from Kbeauty Hair Products. What are some good brands and products from Korean Beauty hair care companies that work great for frizzy, damaged, thinning and thick hair? Thanks in advance ☺️🩷

Best K-Beauty Hair Care Lines?

I'm getting the VDL Blusher Set! I'm so excited!

I was chosen for a picky giveaway! If you've won before, how long does it usually take to receive your products?

Just got an email notifying me I won't the Athè's Mega Lip Balm Giveaway! Have you guys won any giveaways recently? If so, what did you win?

Wow! Just won my 3rd Picky giveaway!

I was so skeptical about this app when I 1st joined as so many similar ones have let me down... this week I was crazy excited when I learned I was one of the winners for the VDL 3 pack of cheekstain blushers (received them today) but somehow missed another email notifying me I was also chosen as a winner for the Ownest Triple Collagen giveaway as well. Just saw it this evening...  so I've won 2 Giveaways back-to-back... don't get me wrong, I've always enjoyed the app, writing and reading reviews - its actually something I'm very passionate about, even recently I've created a blog so I could dive into reviewing skin care & cosmetics a little deeper and now I will probably use Picky even more now as I can see the payoff, but best believe I'm kicking myself for ever doubting the Giveaways to begin with. Even if I never win another one, I am honored to have been chosen for just these two. My point is, if you've been utilizing this app, earning points and using them to enter Giveaways but haven't been chosen yet, don't give up!!!

Question: Have you ever won a Picky Giveaway? If so, what did you receive? If you haven't won one yet, which Giveaways you have you recently entered/products are you most excited in hopefully winning?

PS: I'm definitely not trying to down play how important I think the Picky app is (a place to find product recommendations for your skin type, a place to go where you can share the love of your favorite brands and products, a place to go to find friends aa its literally an amazing community here, of like minded individuals to engage with & a place to discover brands/products you otherwise might not come across) bc that's not my message. I won't lie & say the potential to earn freebies wasn't an incentive to join either, bc back then, it did play a factor, as it was in a blog where "the opportunity to earn free products" was listed & I was unfamiliar with the app completely... but over time, I've discovered theres so much more to it, just as I've listed above. I'm just saying doing all these things & staying engaged + doing what us skincare lovers enjoy doing, has the potential of rewarding you further with Giveaway opportunities you can cash your points in to enter & if you have entered many, like I have, but haven't been chosen yet, don't let it discourage you from continuing to enter them. Again, I truly have come to love the Picky app, the entire community that comes with it & all that you can do here. Me winning 2 contests are just added bonuses. I appreciate all that goes into Picky, from the developers to the brands to the users & the community. Each of you make this experience incredibly enjoyable, knowledgeable and fun 💜 with that said, Good luck to everyone in the upcoming contests!🤞🍀also, if anyone would like to give me a follow, I'll gladly follow back 😘 xoxo 

((Note: I already LOVE the VDL brand and use many of their products but I haven't used any blush products from the brand so I'm beyond thrilled to try these Cheekstain Blushers! I wasn't aware of the Ownist Brand prior to entering the Picky X Ownist Giveaway & am always on the hunt for new products and discovering new brands, so I'm extremely excited to try their Triple Collagen Products and am thankful for the opportunity to do so because of Picky as they've also made me aware of the brand! - THANK YOU SOOO MUCH PICKY, VDL & OWNIST! I CAN'T WAIT TO SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH YOU ALL))

I won 2 Giveaways Back-To-Back

Nothing. I love EVERYTHING about this product!

I received this product for free from Anua & Picky in exchange for my honest review... this is my honest experience with the product:

The ANUA Heartleaf Silky Moisture Sun Cream SPF 50+ PA++++ has completely changed the way I view sunscreen. This is so much more than just sun protection - it’s a luxurious skincare experience. The texture is unbelievably lightweight and silky, gliding onto my skin effortlessly without leaving a white cast or any greasiness. It feels like a hydrating moisturizer, instantly calming and soothing my skin while giving it a soft, dewy finish.

The heartleaf extract works wonders for my sensitive skin, reducing redness and irritation while keeping it balanced throughout the day. I also love how it layers perfectly under makeup, never pilling or making my foundation slide around. And knowing I’m getting such high, broad-spectrum protection is a huge bonus—it feels like I’m giving my skin the care it truly deserves.

If you’re looking for a sunscreen that does it all - hydration, comfort, and serious protection - this is it. ANUA has nailed it!

My only issue: if you don't use this product up within 60 or so days, it can dry up on you (i have seen SOME last longer but mostly they dry up faster than other brands)... I have other scrubs that have literally lasted years and although the Bullet Lipstick like packaging is super convenient, making it easy to store and even easier to use, it's not as protected as other products that are in container with lids that keep them from drying out. So keep that in mind. 

Elf is is a brand I always recommend to everyone. They've come such a long way in the 15+ years I've been using their products and I know anyone who loves & uses their makeup & skin care can agree, its one of the most affordable brands that offer some really note worthy products... while they've definitely had their hits and misses, I believe they've learned alot along the way & have seen them explode into what they are today and while they've pumped 1,000s of products over the years, this is one product, like many of their OGs, they have in their line up, this one has stayed consistent. I loved it years ago when I discovered it and I love it still. I'm a huge fan of elf's sleek signature black packaging and luckily this product comes in it. I have tried 100s of elf products & more lips scrubs from more brands than I can count. And while I love a variety thats on the market today, I always find myself coming back to this one. I have some faves costing upwards of $30+ but how can you not love a product thats under $5 - that performs like your favorite high end? While my lips are consistently dry, I try to keep up with a good lip care routine, at least every other day, so that I keep them as moistured as possible... this product stays in my purse and on my vanity, as its a go to for days I'm not exfoliating and hydrating my lips in a full blown 5+ step routine. It's perfect for ridding dead skin but also putting moisture back into your lips. I also like to use it right before applying my makeup, especially when choosing a dry, matte lippy, so I ensure they don't flake and that my lips start off as a nice & smooth canvas. After just one application, I can feel the difference in my lips, leaving them super soft, sometimes even softer than my skin! It's easy to apply and easy to use. The bullet lipstick like packaging also makes it easy to store and even easier to use, without having to dig into jars of product like some other brands. This is a product I definitely recommend to anyone battling dry, flaky lips! Especially to those not wanting to splurge on a scrub who also want results. It's insanely affordable and is extremely effective!

Nothing. This product is PERFECT just as it is! 

I received this product complimentary (for free) from Picky and Klairs in exchange for my honest review. This is my experience with the product...

The Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask has quickly become a standout product in my skincare routine, and I can’t help but rave about it! From the moment I unboxed it, I was captivated by the stunning packaging. The iridescent design is not only beautiful but also weighted and sturdy, making it feel luxurious right from the start. It adds a touch of elegance to my vanity and truly stands out among my other skincare products.

Inside, the mask itself is a delightful treat for the skin. The texture is incredibly smooth and creamy, gliding on effortlessly and feeling wonderfully indulgent. I love how it hydrates my skin while providing a brightening effect, thanks to the combination of vitamin E and niacinamide. After using it, my skin feels refreshed, plump, and radiant.

One of my favorite features of this product is the convenient scooper applicator that comes with it. It makes applying the mask a breeze, allowing me to scoop out just the right amount without any mess. This thoughtful addition reflects Klairs’ commitment to user-friendly design, and I appreciate that I can keep my hands clean while applying my skincare.

I also have the Freshly Juiced Vitamin Drops, and I’ve found that they work much more amazingly when used together with the mask. The combination amplifies the brightening and hydrating effects, leaving my skin looking and feeling its absolute best.

Overall, the Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask has exceeded my expectations. Its gorgeous packaging, effective formulation, and convenient applicator make it a must-have in my skincare arsenal. If you’re looking for a product that not only performs beautifully but also adds a touch of luxury to your routine, I highly recommend giving this mask a try. Klairs has truly outdone themselves with this one!

Nothing. This product IS PERFECT as it is!

I have been a huge fan of Glow Recipe for years. Its one of my top 5 all time favorite Korean Beauty brands and this serum is one of my Holy Grails! First, I have to mention how amazing the packaging is... just like all of my other Glow Recipe products, the packaging is out of this world. This Avocado Ceramide Recovery Serum is in a beautiful uniquely shaped, green, glass bottle. I love that they pay attention to the slightest details of their packaging, as I feel it just elevates the product even more. I also appreciate that they color their bottles based on what's inside. For example this ones green because of the "avocado"...( I have a banana product thats yellow, watermelon product thats pink, plum product thats purple...) and since it does come in a glass bottle, the product is super sturdy feeling, weighted and has a very luxurious look and feel to it. Now let's talk about the contents of the bottle! I want to point out that the consistency of this serum is lightweight & milky but not at all sticky. Its a slick yet smooth and silky serum. It has an incredibly light, clean fragrance, that doesn't linger after application. It absorbs quickly and easily when applied and doesn't leave behind any greasy feeling or unwanted residue. It soothes my irritated skin and calms it immediately, reduces and redness or inflammation I may be experiencing. My skin feels and looks so much more hydrated and moisturized than ever before after using this. This product has also replenished my dull skin, helped even out my skin tone while conditioning it, re-balancing it & nourishing it-leaving it healthier than ever before! I use this in my nighttime routine, as my last step (before under eye cream) and I wake up with the most radiant, dewy and glowy looking skin that is soft, silky and smooth to the touch! This is an all time favorite, holy-grail, must have serum for me. Its a truly amazing product from a truly amazing KBeauty brand. If you haven't tried this product, I highly recommend you do. And if you haven't tried the brand Glow Recipe out yet, you are totally missing out! 

I can honestly say that I found absolutely nothing "bad" about this product. 

I absolutely love the packaging. It's cute but simple. Comes in a nice sleek glass bottle that has a nice heavy feel to it. The first thing I noticed about the serum was the scent... its smells amazing, just like an orange dreasicle! I also love the texture & the consistency. It's thick but its also super smooth, glides on easily and dries fairly quickly. I use it alone in the mornings before I apply my moisturizer & in the evenings I mix it in with my overnight moisturizer. Immediately, I could feel the difference in my skin as it felt much more hydrated. And after j just a few days of using it I started visibly seeing results. My pores were almost invisible, my skin started to brighten & I noticed the texture of my skin changing. The more I used it, the better my skin got. I don't have alot of fine lines/wrinkles but the few that I do have, almost completely faded after using this twice daily. I now use this maybe 2-3 times a week because I truly love this product & wpuld use it more frequently but these last few weeks I've been diving in and testing out other skin care products that moisturize and brighten to see what else I like and what else works for me.
