Slight shade difference I wouldn't mind. But blonde when I have black hair, I will not be using it.
I will give it to someone to test/use who is blonde.
I have dropped them an email as well.0 -
I registered on the 29th Jan and I received my shampoo yesterday and have been asked to confirm to take part in another test. Many thanks.:)0

I've also received a slightly different colour to test than my normal hair colour...although I do remember on the trial questionaire prior to sign up that it did say they could not guarantee to match the colour shampoo to your hair colour.

Thanks for this
I hadn't heard of this before so signed up, the questionnaire was amazing!
I received my first product today, thickening shampoo, can't wait to try it. I was expecting a small sample, enough for a few weeks, but a full sized bottle arrived:D0 -
I received Sanctuary body scrub to try
I used this site a few years ago & had totally forgot about it.0 -

Each to their own...and if its not for you then thats fine...but in answer to your comment about guinea pigs, the products that are sent out are of the quality to be sold and usually no different from their appearance on the shop shelves.Some are not in their identifable packaging but the product is no different to the one that will be on sale to the general public.
Some products are sent in proper packaging and therefore there is no difference to what you would purchase.They test for premium brands the like of which you will buy in Boots or any high street depatment store as well as some selected online retailers.
Very occaisionally I have seen it listed on a trial that the product is still in its concept phase and as you are under no obligation to accept a trial this is the point you could decide to not apply for it.
So the choice of being a guinea pig is entirely yours and the possibility of you having a "reaction" to a product is no different to purchasing a product in store and finding out after you have paid your money for it that its not for you.
