    What is the prize and what does it actually say in the WEM? If it says 'award' or asks for an admin fee, the steer clear.

    Hmm, I'm not sure whether it's legit or not. I have heard of these makeover 'wins'. You get made over, they take pics and give you one pic as it says, but then they pressure you into buying more pics - ususally at a high cost.

    I expect someone else will respond and let you know if it's legit or not. Hope it's genuine though. x
