I bet we all have them! Trial products that you had to learn how to use and push yourself with.
The Maybelline Nudes was a bit like that for me as I'd never really done the nudes thing.
The Baby Foot trial was another one. I spent the entire time going 'is this meant to happen?'.
I think it's cool when a trial gets you into something new!

BR trials that have pushed you into an area you hadn't ventured into before...

I'm the same as you. I've previously never worn eyeshadow except when going to special events but after receiving Maybelline's the nudes palette to trial, I've begun dabbling in eyeshadow and am absolutely loving it! I really enjoy being able to create new looks and can't believe I didn't start experimenting with eyeshadow sooner.
This one is hard. Cause we have such a short time before we submit our review, and there are so many uses I want to try them all. I've been so sick the last few days, I've only been able to put it on my eyes then wash it right off.
When I first joined BR I was sent a lip and cheek duo thing. It was yucky in my opinion. I stuck with it for trial purposes.
Other trials have been shampoo hair care set and a bb cream. The bb I was highly allergic and asked BR for a extention after showing them a photo. They were kind enough to swap me off it for a living nature lip one. I was so grateful.

Oh I hope you feel better soon Farmers-wife x
Mine would be the Maybelline nude palettes as well. Eyeshadow is normally something I reserve for special occasions (but not anymore !:-)) This trial has been fun -it's so great experimenting with different looks and I love that you can create subtle looks that are perfect for daytime wear too.

yeah I used to be friends with a girl who had extremely sensitive skin that reacted badly to the usual sensitive skin ingredients like aloe, chamomile etc. She had to patch test everything and if the reaction was minor test again because some things only reacted the first time but some went nuts. Was so awful for her but she was a trooper
Thanks KellyLeanne I actually asked for the coffin to be prepared! I'd dodged sickness this winter until this.
Oh trudi the poor thing! I see it that I know what I can use to fix any reactions to. I don't work in the public eye so I'm happy(ish) being a human tester to see if claims are true. There was a thread a few days ago about eczema and keri sumed it up perfectly. When I react I let the company know so they can be aware. Some big companies can be pig headed and don't care, then there are other ones who go out of their way to help you find what you're possibly allergic to which is so helpful.

I LOVE seeing photos from trials. I can't say it enough. SEND US PHOTOS.
I wish everyone would take photos, even if it's a selfie with the product, it makes me (and the crew) happy!
In fact I just love seeing photos of everyone, it's so nice having a place where real ladies are the gorgeous superstars!
Nat's Photowall pic of the week - Kirstyj's clown contouring - legend!

Mine would of been the Moisture Mist Eyebrow shading pencil. I never touched my eyebrows when it came to doing my make up. i regulary get the waxed or threaded (which reminds me i need to make an appt) but ive never shaded in my eyebrows so this was a first for me.
WOW! haha what a difference it made the first time I used it. I was a little unsure of the rules behind how dark is too dark on your eyebrows and how to fill them in correctly so my first attempt they were rather light but darker than usual. I watched a few videos after and got experimenting, now?! I won't do my makeup and not shade/fill in my eyebrows.

Seeing what people have trialled has inspired me to try and remember everything BR have sent me to trial and review (excluding vault and BRBB of course :) )
- Nivea deodorant spray
- Garnier BB cream
- Baby Foot
- Crazy Rumours lip balm
- VS Sasson hairdryer
- Moisture Mist Beauty Cake
- Maybelline Nudes Palette
Suddenly feeling very lucky, reading that! Thanks, BR x

Wow, I'm feeling really lucky as I have only really been active on the site in the last three or four months. So far I have trialled:
L'oreal Shades of Grey nailpolish
L'oreal Revitalift day cream (yay for having 'mature skin')
Save or Splurge: Clarins cleansing oil and Za cleansing oil
So I am also feeling very spoilt! I've managed to respond to all the trial invites I've received so far. Thanks so much, BR!

It definitely pays to be fast when responding to invites!
We try to mix it up, some times we'll say the minute invites have gone out, some days we'll give you a time and say no more, some days we'll just send them out. Same with times, we mix up the times of invites, I've sent invites out at 11pm before and 6am.
We try to keep it fair, around half our members are not on Facebook / social media, and even those that do follow us, generally don't see every post (grrrr FB reach). So mixing it up is the best we can come up with!
We can never guess either which products will cause invites to be snapped up in seconds, and which will sit around for a while, but it can take upwards of an hour to sort out suitable candidates to invite, so time wise it's just not efficient for us to dive back in and do it again, hence we always over invite.
With the Vault and the brbb (don't ask me questions, I know nothing) we like to think of trials as icing on the cake. xox

Let's be honest, Nat, it's a pretty heavily iced cake when you add up all the sweet benefits haha.
Yeah some of the trials I got disappeared in a few minutes (The drier, especially!)
It makes sense to oversubscribe but I imagine it's heartbreaking to get the offer and miss out... It hasn't happened to me yet, and hopefully won't (fingers and toes all x'd!)
