Interested In Product Testing? Check out my Top 3!

So, a while back, I said I would give a run down of some of the ways I get to test products at home - for FREE! I have many different sites that range from free samples to review sites that I am a member of, but I am just going to focus on the big 3. I will create a post about some of the "smaller" or not-as-frequently-used sites.

I am going to start with My Top 3. These are my tried and true, been with them for a while, always full-size product companies. Now, let's get started!



1. BzzAgent

BzzAgent is the program I have been with the longest. It offers product testing campaigns to Canadians, Americans and has expanded to the UK and other countries over the years. I have had many campaigns over the past few years, ranging from deodorant to shampoo and conditioner, even toothpaste and a toothbrush! 

I get roughly 3-4 campaigns per year. When new campaigns open up, I usually get an email letting me know that a campaign has opened up that I qualify for. I log in and can accept or decline the product (I have never declined though!). Once I receive the product in the mail, I try it out and then log in to write my review. The activities have been expanding based on social media trends so, right now, here are some activities you can expect to complete:

- Post to Facebook

- Post to Twitter

- Post on Instagram

- Create a Board on Pinterest

- Post a Review on Amazon

and

- Write about interactions with people you have spread "Bzz" about your product to.

When I am not involved in a campaign, BzzAgent has now started to provide smaller activities that I can complete to keep me active. The more active you are with BzzAgent, the higher chance of qualifying for campaigns.

2. Influenster 

Influenster is another company which focuses more on beauty products (I have found, anyway), but also offers the opportunity to test a wide variety of products. You can link your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, blog, Tumblr, YouTube and other social media accounts to boost your influence score. You write reviews, ask/answer questions, complete campaign activities which include:

- Post to Instagram

- Post to Facebook

- Post on Twitter

- Review your product on Amazon 

This is the only one of my top 3 that has an App! 

3. ChickAdvisor

ChickAdvisor is solely Canadian! It offers a wide variety of products to test, from makeup to chocolate! The only requirement I have seen is that you write a review within 14 days of receiving your product. You can write reviews on other products you have tried, as well, to earn points. Points give you a higher chance of qualifying for campaigns and enters you into a draw each month to win gift cards.

ChickAdvisor now also offers a Premium feature, where you pay a minimal fee for boxes of products throughout the year - similar to other subscription services. 

I have been with ChickAdvisor for quite a while. I have tested sunscreens, dry shampoos and chocolate bars, participated in twitter cooking classes, and more! They now offer a men's program as well "XY Stuff".

New Influenster and BzzAgent Campaigns!!

So, I received my new Influenster campaign last week, and am waiting for my new BzzAgent campain (which shipped today!) - very exciting!

My new Influenster VoxBox is the L'Oréal Preference Infinia hair colour in R5 (Red Mahogany).
My new BzzAgent campaign is Pantene Expert Collection Pro-V Intense Repair shampoo and conditioner.

I am definitely looking forward to trying both campaigns. With 2 under 2, pulling all-nighters, I could definitely use a non-caffinated pick me up! 

This is my hair before trying either product. I am curious to see how this one will turn out!

My hair definitely neexs some repairing - why not get it for free?

New #Influenster Campaign!!

Well.. my new Influenster box with the new Bioré Baking Soda cleanser and scrub came last week, and I have tried it a couple times already.

I am so happy I get to try stuff like this for free to review - because, frankly, I am cheap and wouldn't normally pay to try anything new. I would just stick to my tried and true Dove soap LOL

I am amazed at how CLEAN my face feels now! Don't get me wrong, I love Dove soap (the sensitive kind) because it doesn't really leave a film on my face like *other* soaps. This new Bioré cleanser is a totally great alternative. I may actually have to buy it when I run out!

I'll start with the Bioré Baking Soda Cleansing Scrub...

So, this stuff is actually a powder! It activates with water. You should wet your face first, then put a bit in your hand, add a bit of water and BAM - the best exfoliant I have ever tried! As you scrub it around your face, it dissolves - WAY better than those other creams or washes that have those little beads in them that don't dissolve and end up in our lakes and rivers. Also, Baking Soda is so much more natural than a lot of the harsh chemicals that are in most products.
I also have combination skin... This works on all of it!
Great thing about this too; it will LAST quite a while because it's not an every day product. I can use it 2 or 3 times a week and my skin feels so great.

*****

The next AMAZING product that was included in the box is: Bioré Baking Soda Pore Cleanser...

I absolutely LOVE this product. This one is a daily cleanser; wet face, pump, lather and massage on your face - your skin will thank you! I swear, I heard my pores give out a sigh of relief when I rinsed my face. This stuff is hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested and so simple and clean. It also has exfoliating properties, so on the days you don't use the cleansing scrub, you still get a bit of exfoliation action. It SMELLS really good too!

Stay tuned! I have a bit more 'facial' advice coming up!

Did someone say "free"?!

I am pretty excited this week!

I have a #voxbox coming from Influenster, and a new campaign from ChickAdvisor too! Both are beauty products/make up - a big change from the Brookside chocolate bars I reviewed from ChickAdvisor last time.

I don't usually wear make up, so this should be pretty fun.

I also signed up for a few "freebies" on some random sites last week. I am hoping that they were legit, and that I start to get some things this week.

*edit: my voxbox and chickadvisor campaigns came last week. Working on my reviews now that I have tried them a few times! Stay tuned!*
