    Its probably best on the questionnaire to say you have every repulsive condition under the sun, dry skin, ache, facial hair, greasy hair so on then you are probably more likely to be invited to test a cosmetic product.

    the facial hair problem wouldn't be a lie with me though:eek:

    Only ever received a trial for bathroom wipes - not my favourite place to clean!

    Do you mean the Litmus trials? They give £2 Boots vouchers at the end of a trial.

    Oh yeah.. my mistake, sorry!!! In that case, I've been signed up to these for 2 years and never received anything :confused: .. and the profile is all filled in, just double checked now! Must be a luck of the draw thing I suppose!

    Litmus are very good, have got a great trial product on the way now, have to return it at the end of the trial though:sad:

    Nice of you to be a caring understanding sort - just think if someone has got dry skin/acne/facial hair etc and read that, how it might upset them a bit - just think before you type!
    (and I would have thought you get less trials etc if you have skin complaints etc as most things they trial it seems are 'normal' variety and they don't want the possible problem of causing a flare up in someone as that's not really what they are testing at this stage).
    Do not feed the trolls please.

    was a joke PixiePie, hense my comment about my own imperfections. Its best not to take yourself or life too seriously about such small complaints.

    I apologies if I have ofended you though, my sense of humour.

    Hi, i have worked out that having 'normal' skin/hair types etc is better for being invited to do trials/test products...then problem skin/hair. I have not been invited to test anything, my husband got to test a face cream but that is it, and its been a long time since i joined up!

    keely.
