I got a lovely blue eyeliner pencil thingy through the other day, its really nice.
No idea what company it is though, no writing on the pencil & the bit of paper that came with it said SW

I had quite a few products a few weeks ago & now hardly anything.

Today I received nice eye shadows, love it! Hopefully more triels are on the way

I just saw this... seems like a good idea


1. How do you give them feedback??? By phone, email???

2. What brands do you get to try out? Famous ones, e.g. L'Oreal, or random foreign ones which you've never heard of???

3. Why have loads of people commented and said "You need to reply to emails quickly" ??? Do they send out mass emails to everyone, and you receive your product in the post via a first-come first-served basis depending on how quick you reply to their emails???

4. Are the products full-sized, or are they smaller sample sizes??

Answers:
1) You answer a questionnaire online at the end of the trial.
2) All sorts eg. Champneys, Tesco, Boots.
3) If you fit the profile required to test a product they send you an invite via email. However, lots more are sent out than are available. You have to log-in and accept it but it is first-come first-served but you know straight away whether you have got in or not.
4) Sometimes the samples are full-size and other times they are tiny. I think it all depends on the generosity of the company they come from.

HTH. I'd highly recommend it because it's fun and you get to try some great stuff (just a tip though - avoid "intimate" products!!!)
