Right, so is anybody doing this bronzing powder stuff at all and if so, please can you help me?!!

I have never used bronzing powder in my LIFE ... !!!

I have two tube thingies ... both have a brush at one end and it has sparkly bits on the bristles.

Right, then at t'other end is a container full of .. well, sparkly powder (I think!!) ... yup, it's powder, I've given it a good shake about and it moves!

Now, I presume you have to dip the bristles into the powder or does the powder come through onto the brush itself because I can't find a way to get into the powder?

Oi!! Stop laughing at the back!! Ha ha ha .... and once you figure out how to get into it, do you put a lot on or a little bit and, more importantly, does it wash off?!!! Gawd I hope so!!

Any advice gratefully received!

On the little bit of paper it just says apply to face and neck as your normal bronzing powder .... ok if you use it to start with!!

.... oh, and has anyone heard if they have won the Ipod thingy from last week? I couldn't sign in till 0.16am and haven't heard anything so I bet it won't be me!!

Hi hun,the one with the button on the bottom,the longer tube,you press the button in to release the powder onto the brush and the other one just dab onto your hand and the powder should come through,hth.

Thank you!!

I was one of the first group of people to join this site when it first started. I always submitted my questionnaires on time and had an excellent status. The last time I ever had chance to trial any of their products was almost 5 years ago. I sent messages asking why I was good enough to trial the products in the very beginning, but nobody has had the decency to reply to any of them.

Check your emails! I got 2 emails this morning, 1 to join a trial for hand cream and 1 to update my profile. I missed the trial but updated my profile and 20 mins later was invited to a trial for 'bums and tums firm up cream'! I can't wait to see if it works!

I have only ever received/completed one trial and i've not been sent anymore.

Any ideas what i'm doing wrong? My profile is up to date and I completed my questionnaire on time...

Same for me here... It's easy to say check your email, but they only sent me one in July and I did everything properly too... Don't know when they'll email me again

I'm quite lucky I get my emails on my phone, I've found you have to be quite quick, as trials fill up quickly.

I just finished my first trial of day & night cream on the 5th.
I was then invited for bubble bath, but I wasn't quick enough & it was full.
In the last couple of days I've also been invited for hand & nail cream, and also body cream.

Today I also got an email to update my profile, that they were doing a trial today but needed these questions completed first. I never got a request for this trial so not sure what it was!?

It's some sort of 'balm' for noses and lips protected when you are suffering from a cold!! I updated the questions where it asked if you currently have a cold and something like do you have chapped skin on your nose or/and lips - both questions I said No to....

Then I got an invite to trial!
