    Today I received Lip & Cheek Tint, interesting to see on their forms that the original test date of 24th June had been crossed out and replaced with 8th August which still only gives me a few days to test it!

    I noticed something similar about the foundation and lipstick. Received them Wednesday/Thursday last week, and the return date for the questionnaire was 1st August. I decided to go with the minimum usage and then return them.

    it just means they are in the process of picking the 65 testers as far as I can tell, there is no way of knowing whether you have been picked other than the postie delivering it.

    Thanks for that . It's what I initially thought ,but some seem strange as I know some of you guys have or are in the midst of testing some of them already (like the foundation and lipstick) . Anyway ,thanks for that :)

    Received a facial serum today. It's a longer trial as some of the questions are to be answered after 4 weeks.

    I know what you mean, I have had tests appear that some people are already testing and I have still received them in the post !

    I also signed up my husband and there isnt a week goes by without something from Boots so it is worth it. I tested a moisturiser for them a while ago and they rang me to ask if they could use my comments in an ad campaign and as a thank you I got a massive gift bag filled with soap and glory products :beer:

    Well done!! :T

    Can I safely assume they only let you test 1 thing at a time ? Im still doing the suncream for kids ,as that runs into the first week they start back school ,then I send that weeks forms back (this one pays £30 in vouchers) . So I thought to myself that they wont give me any more trials till Im through with this one . Mind you ,just reading the great test goodies you guys get on a weekly basis makes me excited :rotfl:
