Read articles regarding Allure Beauty Enthusiasts: Program Review, Garnier, Skin Better, and Skincare.

Allure Free Stuff- There may be large lags with no offers. Then, they may have daily offers. An option to join the magazine will pop up with every offer. A specified number of winners, usually 500, will be announced. The first 500 to enter in that case will win. If your entry will not submit, refresh the screen and try again. See articles regarding Allure Free Stuff: CoverGirl The Super Sizer, Olay Pro X Micro Peel, Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant, Pantene Pro V Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner, and Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist.

Brandbacker- A community open to social media influencers. People who actively post product reviews on: blogs, Youtube, Pinterest, Instagram, Twitter, and/or Facebook apply for campaigns they want to participate in. Applying is an easy process that takes less than a minute. Brands review the user’s profile and social reach to determine if the member is a good fit for the campaign. In exchange for free products, reviewers share their thoughts with their social networks. The only caveat is brands get to review posts before they go live, so articles on products that do not perform could be killed before the article even gets published. If a brand kills my article for an unfavorable review, I will not work with that brand in the future. See articles regarding Brandbacker: derma e Hydrating Day and Night Cream, and Lypsyl Lip Balm.

BzzAgent- An international network of consumers who take part in word-of-mouth campaigns for a variety of products and services. It is a membership program that gives subscribers free products to try. After trying the free products, members review and share their experiences with the campaigns to qualify for future campaigns. Short surveys will appear in your profile. Complete them to see if there are any new campaigns available. MyPoints offers are no longer available to BzzAgent members as of 03/09/18. There are over 1 million BzzAgents in the US, Canada and the UK.

Once you’ve qualified, products are mailed to you. Try them and tell people what you think. Share your opinion on social media. Then, complete a short exit survey and review the product. The more active you are the more programs you qualify for. Everything received from Influenster is free. Some virtual Voxboxes or multi product packages include coupons to redeem for the product. At times, the coupon will not cover the full amount, but you can opt out of any program that only offers discounts or does not interest you. Read my article about the program.

L’Oreal Consumer Testing- Fill out surveys to see if you qualify to participate in studies. Each study takes a limited number of people, so it can be very difficult to get selected. The good news is even if you are declined for a lot of studies, you usually know you will be declined within two minutes. You do not find out after a 45 minute survey that you do not qualify, so it gives you the patience to keep trying. Study participants test products under the Loreal Umbrella (Lancome, Shu Uemura, Kiehl’s and many more brands). They give feedback and even receive compensation for some studies on top of the free items to test. See articles regarding L’Oreal Consumer Testing: Program Review, Lipstick Study, Face Cream Study, and Five Informational Surveys Compensation.
