You know what we love the most about Beauty Review? YOU.
Y'all are the experts here. You tell us what products are must-haves, and what products are must-never-buys. You tell us your opinions in our Beauty Polls. You fill our Photowall with inspiration.
Well that's not enough of you for us! We want more. We want to start featuring members in our homepage articles! Exciting right?!
And it doesn't matter if you're a beauty blogger, or you've not written anything since highschool - if you want to apply to feature, you can - and we'll do everything we can to help you get your name in lights!
Oh, and we'll drop 500 points in to your BR account if we publish you. That's a nifty fifty dollars to spend in the Beauty Vault.
1. Bloggers.
If you are a beauty blogger or a beauty vlogger, you could expose your blog or channel to tens of thousands of beauty lovers, every single week. How?
By featuring in a guest spot - just like Cassandra Myee did this week.
If you're interested, get in touch, send us a link to your blog and tell us what you'd love to write about.
We may also offer you the chance to feature in a 'sponsored' guest spot, where we provide you with products to talk about! As always - we'd want your honest thoughts on what we send you, the independence of the site is super important to us. If you're interested in a sponsored post, send through your site stats when you contact us.
2. Writers on the inside.
You don't need to be a blogger to take part. Gorgeous Superhero Koni wrote us an amazing article this week - and left us wanting more. So if you want to give it a go, get in touch and tell us what you'd like to write about.
Stuck for ideas? Here's things we like to read:
- Tutorials - makeup, hair, nails.
- DIY. Like Koni's rainbow highlighter. Or maybe you cut your hair yourself at home. Or have an amazing recipe for a body butter.
- 'Pinterest Fails'. Nothing's funnier than attempting something you've seen online and failing spectacularly right?!
- Trying the latest must-have or hard-to-find product.
- Save or Splurge - maybe you've tried a high end product and it's dupe and want to report back.
- Are you a MUA? Nail Tech? Tell us how you got in to the business, or share some salacious stories.
- Swatches. Who doesn't love beautifully photographed swatches?

What you need to know (aka T&Cs. aka the boring bit)
- Beauty related topics only. Or beards.
- You'll need to apply yourself, so if you think someone needs to get in touch, nag them until they do :)
- We own perpetual rights to the article.
- We'll need nice, hi-res images and irrevocable permission to use them.
- Unless previously agreed, content cannot be reposted to your blog until a month has passed since publication on BR.
- We reserve the right to edit - but we'll ask you if you're happy to go ahead with the revised version.
- We have an independent stance to maintain, so not every submission will be accepted, but it doesn't mean you can't try again.
- If you're offering professional advice, you'll need to list your qualifications!
- If you want us to help you, with editing etc, let us know and we'll work with you. We're busy-bees, but we will do our best to get you confident in your writing!
I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from this, I'm sure it will be good. Might even get inspired myself - anything could happen!
