bzz agent - consumer testing panel (aka lookie what i got to try out!)

[missemiee]

That's kinda what I thought too. My face gets super dry and irritated with too much exfoliation, and this looks way gentler. I'm excited!

I accepted the campaign as well! And I'm the same with dry, irritated and very sensitive skin. I have a clairisonic that I have to use with the most delicate gentle brush they have in order for my face not to freak out. So I'm excited to try the Luna and see how it compares.

I think it's nice that a few people with clairisonics are trying this campaign. Im very interested to see the comparison. I've been debating on getting a device like this for awhile, but they're expensive. I'm leery of spending that kinda money, only to have my face freak out on me.

I decided to try the Luna campaign. I don't have a Clairsonic. This seemed worth it to me. Decent reviews.

 

[heartsandwhimsy]

I wish I would get invited to the Luna campaign! I've been wanting a clairsonic or something like it for a long time and the money would so be worth it to me!

I just got my invite today, so I'd guess they were still sending them out! Fingers crossed for you!

I hope you get an invite! I'm so glad other people here are willing to try it too so we can compare notes!

Also got the luna invite from BzzAgent, not keen on paying $40 when I already have a Clarisonic.
I got the Soda Stream party, too!!!...but I still haven't gotten any Bzzagent campaigns, though I wouldn't have done one where I need to pay $40 to buy the product (it's just not in my budget). I am excited to hear what everyone thinks of it!

What are some tips to getting picked for hosting a HouseParty?! I've applied to sooooo many and never been accepted. Do you have to post and tweet like a million things are how bad you want to host for them to pick you?! Seriously LOL. On another note. I've had my soda stream for about two or three years now and I love it. In fact I just went to get refills for the carbonator yesterday. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> enjoy your party. I'm super jealous, hopefully I'll get picked one day.

enjoy your party. I'm super jealous, hopefully I'll get picked one day. I used to get picked all the time! About 5 years ago, I'd get a party every few months. Now, it's been...well, years. They don't like me anymore. I wonder if it's because I don't post/tweet a ton after applying?

Yup, I'm pretty sure they hate me. Literally have applied to probably over 20 parties and I've been rejected every time. And for Chatterbox. Nothing there either. I think I give up. But BzzAgent has been super good to me. I've got 4 campaigns going right now, so really I have nothing to complain about. But I really thought I had a pretty good chance at this Ninja blender thing HouseParty, they are only doing it in three cities and Denver is one of them...seriously how many other people can be applying from Denver?! Enough to beat me out of a spot, I'm sure of it! LOL.

 

[wadedl]

I gave gotten a few house parties and after I got one it seemed a bit easier to get more. It might be worth just applying to things that aren't as fun just to get the ball rolling

Ok, I won't give up! Lol. And believe me, I've applied to some lame ones and still nothing. The only things I haven't applied to are the kid toys campaigns. I have no use for that, nor would I want my house full of my friends kids. No thank you. Lol.

 

[knightsgirl]

I didn't post anything on fb or twitter or do anything but fill out the application lol. The Soda Stream is only the 2nd thing I've applied for. I really, really, really think all of this (BzzAgent, influenster, house party, etc) is 100% random. There are strict FTC guidelines about advertising, compensation, disclosure, etc. and basically they are getting people to advertise the products by posting about it on social media, thinking that it increases their odds of being picked to get freebies. But they can't make it a contest without saying it's a contest and the odds of winning. This is why when you've actually gotten a product from any of these programs and post about it on social media, you have to say you've received it free of charge through X program. I'm knee deep in paperwork at work right now so I hope this makes at least some sense lol

I hadn't heard of SAHW, I like it..

Anyone else find the points rewarded to them for activities to be totally random?

I put effort into all of my activities but sometimes I put a LOT of effort and get a piddly "Good - 25" And other times I'm way less confident about the quality of a review and get "Excellent - 75"

I'm thinking the people who review and award points for our activities have a quota and can only give a certain number of Excellents etc.

It makes it difficult to improve.

I used to work sending out those emails for BzzAgent and in charge of doling out points.  I can tell you we were told to be sparing with the "Excellent" ratings - in order to receive an excellent the Agent would need to really stand out.  Other than that it was up to us which rating we bestowed upon Agents, we were given a formula.  I wound up giving quite a few Excellent ratings as long as the reviews were detailed.  You would be amazed how many 1 or 2 sentence write ups we would get.  The more detailed, and through you are in your review the better that I would rate it.  I never was told not to give out so many high ratings, or had a quota to reach.  I can only imagine it would be frustrating as everything would be left up to us which would explain how one person may rate you lower and another higher.  There's no real set formula unfortunately.

That said, it's been a few years since I worked for BA, they may have changed their formula since I left.  It was pretty laid back, I really enjoyed working there and do miss it a little.

I have a clarisonic too, and I accepted this campaign.

So hopefully I can compare them as well.

By the time I got in, they didn't have the turquoise which is a bummer since that's my favorite color. I ended up getting a pink one. Reading the reviews on the mini luna website, they've had the campaign since early this month.

Sad! I accepted my offer yesterday I think and I got the turquoise.

It's so interesting to hear how all this works from an insider! Thanks! It's something I've been super curious about since I started doing these.

I was just telling my sister when I actually try to get an house party (like post and tweet things) I never get it but when I apply and do nothing I get a party! I kinda think that it is random too
