Ahhhhhh ok cool I'm glad I'm not the only one who edited a review and had it disappear thought it must still be waiting approval or something but wasn't too sure. When they said they were working away behind the scenes making some changes I thought it might be related to that. Oh well I'm trying to get my grammar perfecto in the mean time so I don't have to edit.

Something strange is definitely going on. I just had the (non-trial) review I wrote today approved by a moderator. When I looked on my beauty space to see if my trial review was there, I noticed a review I wrote last month has disappeared (although the product is still on the database).
Im just assuming it's to do with the exciting new changes that are happening in the background.

Lisa I 100% agree and am often scratching my head as to how these people have PROPERLY trialled something.
I was super time poor when my last one arrived and I had to go away for the rest of the week so I ran four seperate tests on it THAT DAY to be able to write my trial. That's not always going to be possible though and a day-after review is not my usual style!
I think the review i did write is very comprehensive and wouldn't have changed with more time, but i'd have liked more time none the less.

The same thing happened with the hair care trial I just did. I agree Silvene! I also find it odd when a review has been written and my trial item hasn't even arrived yet. Surely it takes more than 1 day before you can review an item.

silvene - I wrote my review on Tuesday and until I'd submitted it I couldn't see the others, then I could see Shaz' (the only other one there at that stage) even after i sent mine back for editing, and could see them again later in the week, but they're all gone now regardless of if you've done your review.
I agree it's a great idea to avoid lazy reviewing (that wasn't why I was looking for them though) but seems wholly bizarre that they're not visible to those who HAVE reviewed them!

I thought that maybe this was a new feature ... that trial team reviews will only be visible once the deadline is reached, to prevent any “lazy” trial team members from abusing the system by copying and pasting bits from other members reviews, instead of having to actually write their own honest review.
If so, I think it’s great that the trial product reviews are held back and only released after the deadline, as I did have a issue in the past with someone (who is no longer a BR member) copying and pasting bits of other people’s reviews in order to make up her “own” review, instead of actually trialling the products she was sent. So sad when people are in it just for freebies.

Since replying earlier I thought I should have a better click around and see how else to use the site.....
Something I had neglected to notice previously was the titles next to Brand Directory, and how they have sub headings of the types of product. I'll probably use this more often than the regular Search box now as this way lets you see comparable products, which is interesting when doing research before buying.

Yes, oily skin does need to be moisturised. I have very oily skin, and I’m currently using Skinfood’s SPF 15 Moisturiser. It’s light enough not to cause breakouts and it’s non-greasy and is absorbed fast, so can be worn under make-up. Other day creams that I really liked using were Evolu Protective Day Cream and Oasis Beauty’s Knock Out.

its kinda weird to think cats can get headaches lol but im glad hes feeling better! plus its always a conversation starter when your pirate cat comes in hahahaha
i did think of baby socks but couldnt get any quick enough so i just made my own hahaha. but yes i did use some rhino repair, i thought it helped but he wanted to just lick it off all the time, but ultimately the drugs worked the best.
i also tried coconut oil, keeping it clean with warm salty water and cannabis oil lol
wow 14!! thats a life well lived indeed. but yes i'm the same, i'll pull money out of my butt for vet bills lmao. unless of course its kinder to let him visit the great catgod in the sky, but until then i'll pay them lol

Chicks, I have trouble with moisturiser. At least, in my oily T zone I can almost wear nothing at all down my nose, between my lips and smile lines, and anywhere on my chin without getting a big zit. The forehead is not so bad, it's just down the middle of my face mainly.
Does that mean the oily skin doesn't need moisturising? It seems like asking the obvious but I thought I'd ask.
I'd really like a product with little to no fragrance that I can put all over my face. One with SPF for daytime use would also be great.
Here's my current regime:
Morning:
Dragons blood eye cream/serum (around eyes only)
Olay lotion sensitive (pink bottle) (cheeks & forehead)
Trying out Revitalift Serum on cheeks & forehead too
After shower in evening
Rosehip oil dabbed everywhere but chin and nose
Trying out Revitalift Serum on cheeks & forehead
Essano serum on neck
Who else has oily skin and what products do you use?

Hello, I'll do a quick search and then click on Reviews tab, see if it's there. I don't have much luck with that usually so I end up going into the brand and paging through. It would be good if you could filter the brands to eyes/lips/skin etc.
I see now that a lot of stuff has been marked as Discontinued. I find that helpful as it suggests if I see it out there, it's not going to be around for long, however it would be good to be able to filter those out too, and then only look for products that might be around for a bit longer.

Sorry to hear about your cat Lisa. It must be devastating.
I had not heard of cat aids before now, nor pillow foot. This is like a kitty forum, it's cool to talk about the furlives in our life. My darling is turning 14 this year. I have been quite lucky, he's been in a couple of scraps but nothing serious. Vets are more expensive than our doctors, but I will always find the money for him to if he should need.

Aww, your poor kitty, Shaz. That “pillow foot” sounds painfully sore.
Pringles is fine now, thanks. He went blind slowly in that eye over a few years/months (all caused by a cat fight that happened 6 years ago), so he didn’t need to adjust to only having one eye, it all happened slowly for him. I don’t even think he realises is gone, he just doesn’t have migraine-like headaches anymore. Poor little guy. Yeah, 3 vet visits, 3 different meds, and eye removal surgery all in one week ... it was definitely an expensive month last month! Crazy how vet visits cost more than us going to the doctor.
Fingers crossed nothing else happens to your kitty. Just something I thought I’d share ... my vet recommended putting baby socks on the cat’s paws if we couldn’t get him to keep the cone on. It might work if you ever need to cover your kitty’s paws again. Oasis’ Rhino Repair also helps to soothe kitty skin & paws - I’ve used it on my FurKid’s nose and paws in the past and it worked wonders (safe if it gets licked, too).

an eye!?!?! oh my lord how awful! i can imagine how you'd would've felt and it wouldn't be nice! nawwww. how is the furkid doing now?
i didnt know aids shots were a thing, if i did i would've gotten him one hahaha but never mind. your stritct 'parenting' sounds like mine hahaha if theyre at the door by 5 they're in for the night and they get let out when i stumble down the hallway for my morning tinkle at 730 (when i know it's light enough they won't be looking for a fight lol)
but he is okay for now (every time i say that he gets something wrong with him >:( ). his feet returned to normal size with the drugs pretty quickly which was a relief because 4 days of one of them was $30 and he was on it for a month hooooooooo boy that was an expensive christmas hahahaha.
the pads were about 5 times the size of normal pads (why its a 'pillow' foot) and they must have been annoying him because he was biting them and they were bleeding all over my damn house. i went through a stage of trying to make him shoes for night time so he would stop biting them before the cone came out. they didn't work hahaha.

@Shaz, I'm so sorry to hear your Furbaby has feline aids. Is he'/she doing okay? My vet told me about Feline Aids when we moved here (when we moved to NZ, we brought our spoilt kitty with), and asked if we wanted to start with the vaccinations, but they were far too expensive to do every year, so we've taken our chances and we lock our FurKid in at night, to try and reduce the number of cat fights he might get into, and also to protect the nocturnal wildlife. It's inside time for my kitty as soon as the sun starts setting, but all it takes is one bite from an infected cat. So scary!
I sympathise with you about the meltdown at the Vet though, and the cone and leash ... my FurKid had to have a eye removed 4 weeks ago. I had taken him to the Vet for recurring cystitis and ended up having the Vet tell me that he needed to have an eye removed. Totally not what I was expecting, and I just burst into tears right there (and then proceeded to cry all day while I got used to the idea of having to turn him into a little one-eyed ginger pirate). Same for him, a cone for two weeks, which he wouldn't keep on, not even with a collar, so we had to body harness him and attach the cone to that. At least I could put a leash on the harness and then take him outside for fresh air and tree scratches as mine's an outside cat, too. How he hated being locked inside! Funnily enough, his stitches came out on 4th July (his own little independence day).
Oh, the things we do for our FurKids ... In hindsight, a cat on a leash with a cone has to be one of the funniest sights for passersby. Yup, he insisted on scratching his favourite tree, which just happens to be near our mailbox!

I'm sorry to hear about your cat Lisa! It's heartbreaking having a cat go missing but, and I'm sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, at least you have closure :(.
Our cat went missing years ago and we have never seen him since. I miss him terribly and would love to know what happened to him. In my mind I picture him hooking up with a lovely, mature woman that gives him love and cuddles.

And yep they can, feline aids lol. He had another disease "pillow foot" which is often associated with the feline aids so it was kinda telling but actually hearing it still made me have a meltdown at the vet, and in the car, and later that night.
He was in a cone for a bit more than a month, and no outside time. I put him on a leash and walked him around though hahahahahaha he hated it but for 2 hours a day he was allowed out on his leash to eat grass and feel the breeze in his fur.

lets see what's happened
i've....
broken the toilet
and the shower
and the hose but that wasn't my fault
been to the hospital twice
cooked
burned
been burnt
laughed
cried
watched the shed roof blew off
sobbed hysterically
called the fire brigade
had a panic attack
made an insurance claim
gardened rain or shine
rain danced
spent over $1000 on vet bills
found out my cat has aids
bought expensive furniture
but i suppose, the best thing and definitely most important of all, i realized that i'm an incredibly lucky woman to have such awesome friends and an incredibly supportive fiance who puts up with my race car crying when i'm having a meltdown
