Freebies, Testing & Survey Sites

-
I love testing and reviewing products, so I thought I would list some websites that I have signed up to.  I have received products to review from all the below sites, ranging from high end products that are just being launched, to products that are blind tested, where you don't find out the brand, you just find out what type of product it is:

Testing & Reviewing
Bzzagent - I have received a wide variety of products to test.  You sometimes receive coupons and extra samples to pass on to friends and family.
Boots Volunteers - they send out products that are not named, just a general description of the product.
Beauty Bible - keep an eye on their facebook page to find out when they are launching another phase of testing for the Beauty Bible books.  The last lot of testing was for over 35s.  You usually receive 10 products (high end and drug store) for a cost of £30.  This may sound a high price but the value of products that I have received in the past have ranged from £160 to £300+.
Debenhams VIP Panel - I have received a couple of high end products to review.  Keep an eye on their facebook page for new products to review.
Supersavvyme - join the savvycircle for a chance to test and review a wide range of products. 

Clicks Research - I have only recently joined this company and I have already received a product to test.  Its similar to Boots in that the brand of the product is not known, only the type of product i.e. BB Cream.  You have to be quick to respond to their emails, as the tests fill up very quickly.
If you know of any other similar websites, please let me know.
Freebies
I have received free samples from supersavvyme, whatsinmyhandbag and L'Oreal among others.  Its also a good idea to join some facebook pages for a heads up on free samples.  I have signed up for a couple on L'Occitane recently.
If you want to earn some money to spend on your beauty addictions (well that's my addiction anyway!), cash or gift vouchers, then it might be a good idea to join some survey sites.  You sometimes receive free products to test and review as well.  I have been paid on all the survey sites below:

Surveys
Valued Opinions - if you would like me to refer you, please leave a comment with your email address.
MySurvey - again leave me a comment with your email address if you would like me to refer you.
Opinionbar
GlobalTestMarket - leave me a comment with your email address if you would like me to refer you.
justtheanswer - leave me a comment with your email address if you would like me to refer you.
Ipsos Access Panels - leave me a comment with your email address if you would like me to refer you.
newvista - leave me a comment with your email address if you would like me to refer you.
You Gov
It does take a fair bit of time and effort to complete surveys and reviews, but it is a useful way to earn some extra cash or save up some vouchers for your favourite shops (Boots and amazon are the ones I get vouchers for).
I hope that you guys find this post useful

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it made for a better base for my foundation. It also seemed to be more hydrating. I have defini...

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet.
