My First Product Trial

I got a box in the mail today from Ipsos i-Say, a survey company I am a member of. I'm signed up with quite a big list of survey and testing companies, and I take surveys for trials all the time, but this is the first time I have actually been picked to do a blind trial :)

They have given me a shampoo and conditioner that I am supposed to use for the next 2 weeks. After the 2 weeks, they will send me a follow up survey to tell them my results. I'm super excited! I will be trying this first thing in the morning! Stay tuned for my findings :)

Are You A L'Oréal Product Tester?

I signed up on a whim a while back to be a product tester for L'Oréal. It's been fairly simple. All I have to do is take the surveys when they email me to see if I am the demographic or skin type they need for their latest products. Sadly, I have never been what they needed :( I probably have taken at least 10 different surveys over the course of the last 5 months and I haven't made it into any studies.

So, why would I recommend this to you when I have never even made the cut? The perks. Even though I haven't actually done any testing for them, L'Oréal surprised me last week by sending this full sized product in the mail unexpectedly.

I was very pleasantly surprised to find this Vichy Aqualia Thermal Moisturizer with a letter thanking me for my participation in their surveys. I had never heard of this before and most of the box is in various Eastern European languages, but it is sold in the US also: Vichy US. This product sells for $29.95 and they gave it to me for not being what they need :) I have to say, it came just in time as my Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizer had just run out and I was having to shake it to get anything out each morning. I am completely in love with this product and I would probably buy it again when it runs out. 

Anyway, so the moral of this story is that you should always do your surveys! You never know what perks you may get in return and you are helping consumers around the world in the process. 

If you are interested in applying to be a L'Oréal Product Tester, just follow this link and fill out their questionnaire to see if you qualify. You won't regret that you did :)
