    I got the body scrub through yesterday but there's not really much there and nowhere near enough for a week's use, more like a couple of days worth!

    Anyone know what brand it is?

    I've had nothing from them for ages except constant emails asking me if I'm pregnant or going to have a baby soon. I have updated my profile, but they still keep asking.
    I guess that baby stuff is where the money is for them at the moment :(

    I don't believe it, no trials for months and then two together (hubby again). This time self tan for face. Hope they don't get cancelled :)

    How is everyone getting on with the weight loss trial? I would recommend filling in the food diary every day, as its harder than you think to remember what you ate a few days ago! The coffee tastes a bit bleugghh but if it works, it'll be well worth it!! :rolleyes:
  • I'm doing the weightloss trial and the coffee tastes like it is mixed with gravy, I'm not enjoying the effects of it so far and hoping it will ease off as my body gets used to it

    ooh I'm not happy. I have just received a really rude email from cosmetic research. I have all of the products regularly used ticked in the body section because I do use a lot of stuff, I buy all sorts of different things when on sale in the supermarket and having been pregnant I changed a lot of stuff too, so within the past 6 months I have purchased everything, call it my vice. this is the email I got.

    After looking at your body profile we have found that you have ticked every possible answer for which products you regularly use. Please edit your profile to show a more truthful answer. Failure to change your profile to a more realistic outline of yourself will result in the termination of your account furthermore we will block your details from our system. We take this very seriously and anyone found to be giving inaccurate information is thus removed.

    I thought this was a bit harsh, it would have been nicer to send one asking me if this is correct before going full on and calling me dishonest. So I replied and told them to shove it, no loss, I used to get loads of trials up until last year, now I get none.

    Ooh, hope they don't look at mine then! I think lots of people do what you do - as someone put it very nicely, you tick the ones you use and also the ones you would love to try (in other words, all of them, like you have :D)
