I've been thinking along the same lines lately! I think it would be awesome if you had a reminder pop up, say 3months after you post your initial review, asking if your thoughts on the product have changed. It'd then have a little 'update' tab appear at the bottom of your review, similar to the 'tips' display, because as you say, we can often change our mind once the novelty has worn off. Hopefully something is in the works! :)
Yes definitely. I've changed a lot of my reviews as I've gone on to use more product etc. Also my starting reviews were pretty shite so I've changed most of them. I do still have more to do though!
I've also had a couple of products that I hated but then found a different way to use and quite liked the product. Now I try to use the product for a while until I do a review so that I can give a better opinion on it.

Yes I'm still doing this now lol, I been getting quite fed up reading silly 2 line sub par reviews of things I am wanting to buy to see if I need to get them and have given thumbs down and reported a few during evil mood time. So I'm making it my mission with all my newer reviews improving to get back to the start and update the old ones, as I can't be judging others if I don't think my own are perfect...or near anyway =)
I struggled to write review to start and did not put enough information in so was declined twice.This was good because it made me rethink why I was writing the review and look at it from another person's perspective.I try to write notes as I use the product now and at the end of the trial I have more information when I finally write the review so feel I give a fair opinion.I would add comments if I thought the product changed my opinion after a certain time as this helps other members.
Yep, I've edited one where I just noticed more things about a product the more I used it.
Two of the reviews I've written in the last couple of days have been products I wouldn't recommend - a brush set and a mascara. The brush set I don't recommend because they started wearing, shedding, and going out of shape after a few months of use, whereas I thought they were great when I got them so I would have written a totally different review in the first month or two if I'd been on BR back then! The mascara was the same, though not to quite that extent - it was pretty meh all around, but became awful, gluggy and clumpy around week 2, so it would have gone from around a 3 to a 1 if I'd reviewed it right away! So both of those definitely would have needed updates!
Saird, that is an awesome idea! I wonder how hard it would be to integrate something into the system that just automatically pops a message in your inbox a few months later? It would probably need to be able to group reviews together, though, in blocks of a week, fortnight or month maybe? Otherwise the champs who do lots of reviews would be constantly spammed by reminders.

Having gone through, checked my reviews and resubmitted where appropriate recently, updates are important.
Especially if you have trialled something for Beauty Review, eg the Garnier bb cream trial, we had to have our reviews in within a week but some of the results would not show for about a month, so after my original review I dated the update and put the new information below for people to check moving forward as well.

I did an e-mail to rewrite some of my early reviews yesterday. I looked over them and they needed more description and some had grammatical errors in them. First I've ever gotten asked to rewrite my reviews, but since I have gotten better at writing reviews I was easier to bring those substandard ones up to par. There was definitely room for improvement there.
I FINALLY got around to my rewrites (after getting a couple of moderations) and holy cr*p some of my earlier reviews were so SHORT!! I am much happier now with them! Amazing that you can pinpoint the point in my BR 'life' where I got it and started to really go for it haha.
Side note - am I the only one who actually liked getting moderated? I find it means a few things:
- BR are reading these and so if they're reading mine, they are reading everyones, and the quality will only keep on improving if that happens!
- They're right. I didn't write enough, or I ws too flippant and didn't bear the brand in mind, or something. Whatever is wrong with them, BR are right, and I can see the issue.
- it makes me feel like a vault must be coming!
- it challenges me, in a non-threatening way, to keep bettering myself...I see this as a hobby and you always want to improve there! I have no excuse for lazy reviews, I'm a teacher and I write hundreds of reports a year, so I appreciate the feedback!

well I just read my very my first review, it's not an amazing novel but I cover the basics and explanes how I felt about it and I still feel the same about it. And I suppose I could add some wow but I'm sure if someone wants to know about it they could ask. I've never been asked in the comments anything about a product yet. X
