Nine years and seven months ago, nearly to this day, a newly-minted mother heard about something called Beauty Review, a place where you could go and write your opinions on beauty products and maybe even receive a product to trial for free.
'Sounds like heaven,' she thought as she logged on and got reviewing; enjoying the moment to stretch the writing muscle that had once been used almost daily for over a decade as a copywriter, but had atrophied after nine months of figuring out how to keep a tiny human alive.
As you may have guessed by now, that early days Beauty Review member was me, and it's safe to say Beauty Review was my sanity saver in those early months of motherhood. One of the aspects I adored the most? The Beauty Review Forum. So what's so great about that particular corner of the Beauty Review internet? Why should you get chatting wtih fellow beauty lovers? Check out five fab reasons to love the Beauty Review Forum!
Community
Don't have a whole lot of people that you can talk all things beauty with in your day-to-day life? The Forum is for you! From the best blush, to your must-have moisturiser, to what show you're binging right now (yes, non-beauty related content is allowed), the forum is filled with people who love to come together to chat about makeup, skincare, all things beauty-related, as well as life in general! Whether you're dropping in daily, weekly, or only popping in every now and then, the forum is a fun, inclusive space where you can take a moment to enjoy a spot of conversation about the things you love.
Friendship
Where would we be without our pocket friends? Those who we might never meet, but who through online communication we form a bond with over mutual interests. Over the years, we've had the pleasure of watching our members bond through the forum, with friendships sometimes even spilling over into real life, and it's been an honour and a pleasure knowing that the Beauty Review forum helped facilitate that.
Advice
Moved to a new town and in need of a new hairdresser? Perhaps you're considering threading your brows but are worried about the process? If you're looking for a helping hand, or a finger that'll point you in a good direction, the forum fam are always there to help! (It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, if you've a question that's health related, talk to a health practitioner.)
Deal Alert!
One of the best things about beauty lovers? They're great at spotting a bargain! So if you're looking for deals on beauty products, you'll hear about them in the Forum. From mystery boxes, to sales, to end-of-line discounts, our members know that caring is sharing!
Beauty Vault Points
It'd be remiss of me not to mention that every comment made in the Forum earns you points that can be used to spend on goodies in our Beauty Review Vault. Trust me when I say that those points add up fast, because once you start chatting on the forum with other wonderful members it can be hard to stop!
So, are you a member of our form, and what do you love most about it? And if you haven't discovered it yet, what's holding you back? Ready to jump in? Check it out here!
Omg, I love the forum! It's one of my favourite features of Beauty Review. I have learned so much from it, it has made me laugh out loud.
