What do you love about the Trial Team?

Hi beauties,

Happy nearly-friday and long weekend!!

I am currently working on an exciting project and I am hoping a few of you may be able to help me. I’d love to hear what you guys love about the beautyheaven Trial Team!

If you’ve been on the Trial Team for years or you have only recently joined I wanna hear what you think! If you wouldn’t mind leaving a short snippet below that would be amazing! Keep in mind your quote may appear in beautyheaven promotional material.

Thanks so much!!

    When I received my first trial item I had just joined BH, I loved that I was put on trial team regardless of the length of time I had spent here, that was really nice. I wish I had joined this group earlier, I’m in Sydney and will be moving to Sam Francisco Feb next year and will miss the opportunity to do a lot of things on here, I will still contribute to reviews forum but there wouldn’t be as much activity.

    It’s been so many years since I was on one! I’ve emailed a couple of times and been assured I’d be considered for the next one where I meet the criteria, but I’ve seen so many go past where I would have been the perfect candidate and I’ve not been included. So I’ve just re-registered using the online form to see if that works to get me on another one soon.

    I really would have liked to try the Azclear products that are currently being trialled, as I see from the most recent flurry of reviews. Although at least I can see many more long-term BH members in this trial rather than it being loaded with newbies.

    I love being on the trial teams. I get to try products that I probably wouldnt look twice at and to have a opinion on the product. I also look at the othere trials and see what the beauties are saying also. Its a great group to belong to

    I have just recently been invited to be on the trial team as I had only recently discovered the application page.
    I LOVE trialing anything and everything from hair to beauty to skin care products. It’s a wonderful surprise when being asked to trial a product and it’s even better posting reviews myself.
    With my own skin problems, hormonal acne and acne scarring its such an amazing feeling reviewing new products and hoping my honest opinion and review may help another queen towards skin care utopia xx

    So, I’m on my first trial and I’m loving the dedicated thread and discussion about the products.

    We all have input and advice to give each other.

    I’m liking it more than the products themselves!!

    • 4 yrs, 7 mths ago

      Wow first Trial Lucy!! That is excellent! Congrats on being accepted in, I hope the products work well for you xx

    Currently I have been given the opportunity to trial the L’oreal Paris “Magic Retouch” light blonde, and I have regrowth.
    I will post a before and after shot along with my review so you can actually see the result’s for yourself too. Love trialling amazing products.

    I’ve been doing trial team for over a year. I still can’t get over how we get full size products that we get to keep after doing the reviews! I feel so spoilt. The reviews part is fun for me because I’ve always loved reviewing things online even if I don’t get anything from it. I’m a regular participant on tripadvisor as well as other online retailers.

  • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

    I like that description Lucy16 “robust and comprehensive reviews” sadly we don’t see enough of those sorts of reviews around here.

    Here’s hoping you all get a good trial soon.

    • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

      Thanks Lisa359!

      I particularly like breaking down ingredients lists…

      I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to skincare; at one point in my late teens I wanted to do formulation science at the pharmacy college but my ADHD was undiagnosed and I could never seem to complete anything.

      Nowadays I read a lot of PubMed articles!

  • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

    I’ve just reapplied for the Trial Team.

    Hope to get some invites soon!

    • 4 yrs, 9 mths ago

      Good to hear that you reapplied Lucy16 – I think sometimes you just have to reapply every now and then. I know last year it was like a drought for me for a while and then I finally got one this year. Although it is hard for me to actually review as I can`t use a lot of products.

      Crossed fingers and toes for you now 🙂

      • 4 yrs, 9 mths ago

        Thanks jatz!

        Correct me if I’m wrong but do you have allergies to fragrances?

        I try to diligently avoid them due to having eczema!

        Edit: I just read your profile… I too, am sulphite sensitive…

      • 4 yrs, 9 mths ago

        Hi Lucy16 – I do have to be careful with fragrances. Walking through the perfumery at Myers I do avoid :-/.

        Ah ok so with your sulphite sensitive is that only with beauty products or do you also go further with foods which I also have. I got the short straw in our family. 🙁

      • 4 yrs, 9 mths ago

        Foods!

        Can’t touch so many things from cordials to ciders, dried fruit to certain sauces.

        Every label needs to be read!

      • 4 yrs, 9 mths ago

        Yes, I can totally relate 🙂 – I said to my dr…..thank goodness I can at least eat Milk Chocolate 🙂 Can`t eat dark though due to it gives me migraines.

      • 4 yrs, 9 mths ago

        And I think all skincare should be fragrance free.

        If your skincare is low, try CeraVe- I much prefer it to QV and Cetaphil and it’s finally available in Australia.

        It’s currently on special at Chemist Warehouse!

      • 4 yrs, 9 mths ago

        I`ve not heard of that brand CeraVe- Lucy16 – will check it out now. 🙂

    • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

      I`m pleased you have, Lucy16. Hopefully the oversight with you and GeeJ missing out completely on the Trial Team, even though you are both Gold members will be fixed and soon with something wonderful.

      Hoping too for those who have had almost no trials get something soon too. I know Ethelinde has had almost nothing and there are possibly others.

      • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

        You’re too sweet Trish_D for thinking of all of us not getting trials. I’m thinking something is awry since everyone one else on the forum was on the LBP trial. Here’s to hoping Ethelinde, Lucy16, Trish_D and I get a wonderful email soon.

      • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

        Thanks GeeJ!

        I know you, Ethelinde and Trish_D are such active contributors on the forum.

        I love writing robust and comprehensive reviews as I’m sure you all do too!

        xx

      • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

        Thanks so much Trish !

        Yes, I`d dearly love for us all to get on some trials as it is good to read diverse reviews…

    • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

      Hope you get a trial very soon Lucy

  • 4 yrs, 10 mths ago

    I love being selected on the Trial Team as I am of mature age and retired and often there are not always the spare dollars around to spend on cosmetics these days. Must admit I am always elated when I receive an email inviting me to trial a product and then comes the anticipation and excitement of waiting for it to arrive. BH does a great job matching products to members profiles and I can honestly say there hasn’t been one product that i have been invited to trial that I have disliked.
