With studio london:
http://www.thestudiolondon.com/competition.html

i have a feeling this is a promotion - there is lots of talk about a photographic session and make over and beauty treatments worth £125 but when i asked about photos they said i could buy any i wanted.

it is a trawl for potential people to buypics isn't it, rather than a competition?

I can't remember entering this cos frankly I just had a baby and DO NOT want to be caught on camera in the state i am in now! lol

It sound like one of the hard sell promo things. They do the make up take the pics and then give you the hard sell to buy. Sometimes they ask for a deposit as well, personally I would stay away

thanks Kimmy - I thought it sounded dodgy, I am always getting calls saying i have won a holiday and then they want me to go to Bluewater for three hours to listen to a presentation and i think uh-oh lol

I will ignore them

He asked me to pay a £30 deposit, when I asked why he said that it becaease they have to book the stylist and makeup artist and its to make sure I turn up.....so I've paid is. Feel very stupid now, and its in London...oh well suppose its a day out down there hey

I think mine was something studio - london or skylight, can't remember. I have done this before, when you get a free makeover and then they take pics - it is fun, but in the past they weren'ht competitions, they were a bit more honest about it, they ask you to come in and give you the makeover free in the hope you will buy hte pics. I took two friends with me and we had some great shots - i spent about £60 on them so they got their moneys worth out of me!

I think you just nee dto make a decision with your eyes open
