Unilever. Is it just me or does this stuff smells like herbal essence?

YES. The old school pink bottles.

Dang! That Clear kit is awesome! I wish I had gotten in on that one for sure.

So, how soon do bzzkits ship? I've only done the Hill's Science pet food one where the product was shipped from a third-party.

It's been almost 2 weeks for the Dr. Scholl's insoles and my shipments page still says "Shipping Soon."

It's hard to say exactly because people get their invites at different times.  I got an early invite into Dr. Scholls (I think I got mine maybe even a full week before some of the other ladies got theirs?

I got my invite on May 2, the shipment was sent on May 11, and according to my posting on here, it looks like it might have arrived May 19?

My shipment history for campaigns shows

accepted 2nd, shipped 11th (arrived 19th-ish -- this was for the Dr. Scholls, and my posting on here shows 1 week, 3 days ago that I posted that my insoles showed up)

accepted 16th, shipped 24th

accepted 29th, shipped 7th

accepted 2nd, shipped 8th

Shipping Soon at least means you're still on the list and it hasn't gone out yet (and it's not lost in the mail somewhere).  My campaign says there's still 29 days left in it (I'm not sure if it's the same for everyone, but I'd guess that it would be?) but hopefully it'll switch over to being shipped soon for you.

I also think there are 2 dr. scholl's campaigns, so people are getting confused. The dr. scholl's I'm in is the general one, and I know some people here are in the dr. scholl's for her campaign.

Mine just says "Dr. Scholl's® Massaging Gelâ„¢ Insoles" and there are 43 days left, so I guess it's no biggie that they haven't shipped yet. I need to learn to be more patient. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Thanks for the info.

Yup, that's the second dr. scholl's campaign. Mine hasn't shipped yet either.

oooOOOoohh neat.  extra insoles for running shoes and excercising and people who stand on their feet all day would be really nice to try out too.  You usually try to find comfort in those types of shoes...then it would bring you extra comfort.

 

[MandyWiltse]

Just got my Dr Scholls kit today even though the website still says it hasn't shipped, so be on the lookout for it ladies! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[samplegal]

Just got my Dr Scholls today too.

 

[Souly]

I got mine today. Its not a brush system.

full size lancome moisturizer that sells for $82!

wasn't expecting that but I'm very happy

Haha...I mean I could be completely wrong. They could just be sending surveys about a brush system and send me a shadow or something as a thank you. I can hope for the best though 

Still waiting on dr Scholls

I finally just joined my first Bzz campaign. I joined the books/e-reader one. No beauty stuff, but I do love reading, so I'm really exciting about this!

Lucky you! I have a nook, not a kindle, so I don't think I was eligible for it. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Oh, I didn't even realize that I was invited to the smooth n tame one...I had the invitation sitting in my account. I don't know about this product, since I am white and prefer to wear my hair curly...but I accepted anyway. Accepting it put my bzzscore up to a 9.1...which is an all time high for me.

 

[BrittneyMarie]

I got the ebook campaign, too! It would be awesome if this was the first of many! I love new books /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Same here, only I like my straight hair straight. It says it helps with frizz too though. I'm on the fence, wondering if it'll cause more harm than good on my hair. What happens if you decline a campaign?

I'm not sure what happens...I figure I can give it to someone at work to try and report back on if I decide not to use it. My sister is a cosmetologist and she normally does my hair, so I'm trying to figure out what she thinks about it. If I can use it and still wear my hair curly, I'll give it a try. Devacurl pretty much handles my frizz and I don't think my hair will last straightened in summer in this swamp.

Me too! I especially love not having to pay for them! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I got invited to the Hair Relaxer one too, but then I got all paranoid that they'd think I'm African-American (I'm not) and change my preferences and such, so I turned it down. That was probably me worrying too much, but oh well.

Not much. You get a short survey asking why you don't want to join (usually just one or two questions...the main one being "why don't you want to join") -- this way they can figure out how to tweak their regular surveys to get more people who would opt in than opt out.

They don't want people to accept if they aren't going to use the product, so it's better if it goes out to more people who will want to try it out.

If you're on the fence about it, and you want to decline, you can tell them the truth about being worried about using a semi-permanent product on your hair.

I also got an invite, I'm not sure if I'm going to use it because I remember putting "coarse" and "wavy" as my hair...and not sure that it'll get me from wavy to Cher straight.  I'll think about it for a few days first.  (also I have virgin hair, so any permanent/semi-permanent hair product scares me in general)

thewendyyybird: If they were only wanting those who were African-American, they probably would have asked that in a survey.  I wouldn't be surprised if the company is trying to use Bzz to get the word out to a broader community and different hair types, since if the product was sitting in a shelf at a store, it probably would mostly be looked at by the genre they're used to seeing.
