How to have a great Beauty Review experience.

Article by BR Natalie.

We want everyone to enjoy the time they spend on Beauty Review, so here's our top tips for a great BR experience.

  1. If you confirm your place on a trial team review your product by the due date. There are no second chances for a missed deadline. Our blacklist is as final as the black spot is to a pirate!
  2. Before accepting a trial please read the invitation email for any conditions, such as being required to get colour matched.  If you can't do it by the given date please decline the trial.
  3. Do not review products or services you have not personally used just to rack up points. The site is based on honesty, and we really do read every review. We have been known to deduct points for obviously false reviews.
  4. Put a bit of effort in to all of your reviews, but especially the ones where you have been sent a product! We're not asking you to rival War and Peace, but writing one sentence when you have received a product that other members would have given their left arm to review is disrespectful and dare we say it, a little ungrateful. One sentence and “no effort” reviews are flagged and the reviewers are sent to the bottom of the selection pool.
  5. BR is run by a lovely team of beauty fanatics who enjoy interacting with you and reading your comments, reviews and forum threads. Don't be mean to us by sending us crappy emails because you’ve missed out on a trial, you haven't been picked, your status hasn't leveled up. Angry and abusive interactions (do not press that caps lock key) and persistent whinging on FB that you haven't been picked, will simply mean one thing...we won't be friends any more.
  6. Please understand, you’re not going to get selected for every review. We might be sending out a conditioner that would be perfect for your dry hair, but you wont be the only person with dry hair that misses out.
  7. Don't accept trials for the sake of something free. If you're not going to wear an orange lipstick then your review won't fairly reflect the product and someone who will rock the look will have missed out.
  8. Please don't try to inflate your points!  We know you want as many as you can to spend up in when the Beauty Vault opens but we don't want our points system to become pointless!
  9. If you don’t receive your product when you expected to, tell us...if we don't know we can't fix it, and once some one is blacklisted, they remain on the naughty list.
  10. Keep embracing and supporting us – we're taking on your feedback and hopefully giving you beauties a space on the internet that is expanding, evolving and spreading beauty around.
  11. Finally just keep talking to us, we love your feedback and your support of Beauty Review to date...you’re awesome.

You guys do an awesome job - I can't understand why people would even coconsider being mean to you. Keep up the great work!

I am new to BR and think your great! Wish I knew about this site sooner, it would have saved me heaps buying products that haven't worked or aren't right for my skin type. Thanks BR for the awesome site!

You guys are awesome and i'm grateful for the trial I was picked for so far... I'm so excited about my Beauty Box coming this month and think the concept of this site is FANTASTIC, i've got so many ideas off here.... keep it up ladies, and thankyou! :)

Thanks for this info. It makes sense. We just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. I do like the concept of this site. I've become an avid follower and log on this site more then my FB page,since discovering this site. I think the BR Team do a great job and for a free Web page no joining fees we've got it made. The facts on this site are neccesary for every woman's needs and I like the fact it's information based on product statements and actual product trials. Giving it a down to Earth feeling and straight up truthful. I did a recent Myers Briggs test and from it 1 of my listed occupations/careers was cosmetologist. Lol well actually explains my interests in beauty and beauty products. Far from it being my occupation though. Thanks BR.

When I first started I was a bit of novice. I got my first inbox that my one of my reviews was no good. Teary eyed, suck it up and thought, how can I better my reviews. I did some research and started to slowly understand what I needed to do. Since being here, it's been fun to meet a group of caring selfless ladies that have put the icing on the cake for me. I don't have many friends but Im happy to have met some new ones. Thank you for brightening up my life BR xxxxo.

Amen! I am so glad I came across this site, not only to be able to try out new products and stuff but so I can actually read honest feed back from girls before I go out and purchase. Thanks BR x

Excellent pointers. There were times I was disappointed I didn't get picked for certain trials so I did mention a bit of disappointment on Facebook. I definitely try to write good and accurate reviews on products and whether it worked for me or not. Thanks for all the effort you put into this site BR team. xox
