Disclosure
The disclosure rules are pretty simple on BBB.
- I am sent complimentary products regularly in my role both as a beauty writer and blogger.
- I use deep links via an affiliate site (Affiliate Windows) on some posts which means that should you buy via that link I will receive a small percentage of that sale. However, as BBB features a heavy amount of preview products and products that are not yet on sale, deep links are not a regular occurrence. I occasionally use Affiliate Links in on Twitter.. these are clearly marked *AL.
- I do not, and never have, posted positive reviews in exchange for product or other incentives. If a post is sponsored it will be clearly marked as such.
- There is absolutely nothing that guarantees a positive review. Products are reviewed as I find them. I do not accept sponsorship or advertising on products that I have nothing positive or useful to say about. I turn down more requests for sponsorship and advertising than I accept.
- I accept a limited amount of advertising in my side bar – these are carefully selected by me for appropriateness to the BBB audience.
- I do not make any charges to organically review, photograph, Tweet, Vine or Instagram beauty products.
- If I am away, posts are scheduled. Otherwise, they are almost exclusively written and posted in real-time.
- While the BBB site needs to make revenue in order for me to blog more and write for main stream print less, the over-riding remit of BBB is be a place of honesty and integrity for people who love beauty to feel secure that what they read is a genuine and useful product review.
- As part of BBB and my experience in the beauty realm as a journalist, buyer, reviewer and consumer, I offer a consultancy service to brands and agencies for which I charge a fee.
- I am contracted with Brand Development and Design Agency, Dew Gibbons to support and advise on new brand development. I currently have a contract with the B. Range at Superdrug to promote and advise on the range.
