Free Cosmetics/Skincare Etc To Trial.. Male and Females Welcome.

Claire_DC

Basically it's a volunteer trial site, they send you make up/skincare stuff etc etc, you try it as directed (maybe certain amount of times a day to use it and for a certain amount of time etc) and then you fill out their questionnaire when they need you to (they give you a date to have it filled out by which you really MUST stick to otherwise you have less chance of being invited for other trials in future).

The trials aren't really really often, and they fill up fast but in the few months or so i've been on the volunteer list, i've had 3 products sent to me.. you get to keep the goodies after too!!


They usually test out for the bigger name companies (although you generally don't know what make it is you're testing unless they have really distinctive packaging even when not labelled) sometimes to be able to back up claims (ie when they say '80% of people had smoother skin within a week' in adverts) and also to check how useable the product is (ie if it's eyeliner, how easily it goes on and how long it lasts etc).

Sometimes you see the finished products in the stores after the trials and realise what you've tested, but mostly it is cloak and dagger (unless they want you to know for any reason) but that's to make sure that the trials are fair and as accurate as possible.

Also you're not allowed to tell anyone about the trials you've had either, but that's a small price to pay.

It's free to sign up and also costs nothing for them to post the items out to you.

I signed up for this in July last year and have not heard a thing from them. I have checked my details and me and my kids are still on there.
I'm not to impressed with the company, well more disappointed really....

Me too, I signed up over a year ago, not heard from them since, but I wouldn't give them my tesco clubcard or Boots advantage details, so perhaps thats why.

For a while i got lots of things to test, then i had a birthday and it stopped. Must be certain ages that get more tests?

I've had five or six things from them over the past two years. Nothing since about september last year though.

I've worked out what companies that I've trialed things for. One very reasonablly priced moisturiser was so good that I've recommended it to loads of friends.
