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

[biancardi]

I won't get into any of the food campaigns because none of those grocery stores are in the Boston area.   It is ironic, because bzzagent is located in Boston!!  I've asked to add some Boston/NE grocery stores, so that I could do foodie campaigns....

I've given one campaign a very negative review with pics (paula's choice!) .  Another campaign I gave meh reviews(Claroil Hair Color - it dulled my hair so badly, but the color did last - lol)

That hasn't lowered my score.  That said, make sure you check your surveys every other day - they will sneak some in on you and that will lower your score if you don't do them.

I just my Crest toothpaste today. I just tried the lime spearmint flavor.

Considering I'm not big on lime at all, the spearmint was just what it needed. I was really surprised I liked it. I can't wait to try the other flavors.

Anyone get more than two campaigns at the same time?

It's possible I got into 4 campaigns within a week.

I hope they add some Boston/NE stores for you! It is a bummer to miss out on the food campaigns. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I wasn't able to do any of the food campaigns while living in SC either, they didn't use any of the grocery stores in my area. I think I might have better luck now that I'm in CA though. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I can't believe how many of you hated the PC! It works so well for me...Lot's of people with chemical burns, yikes!

Because of this thread I am incredibly weary about trying the PC products.

Me too!  I have some PC Skin Perfecting 2% BHA liquid  I got from a fellow MUTer who was in a Bzz Agent campaign for this and got samples to give away but I am scared to try it!  Chemical burns do not sound like fun!

I've had the BHA in my cart on beauty.com and birchbox for a good month or so, I don't know if a chemical burn is worth the risk.

If you want to give it a whirl, PM me and I would be happy to send it to you!  I am drowning in skincare currently so I will not miss it.

I've tried probably half of the things Paula's Choice makes and never once had a bad reaction. And there are several of them that I use on a daily basis with really good results, including the 2% BHA. My skin is so much clearer when I use that on a regular basis. Some of the PC stuff (like their cleansers) I think are just blah and not worth the cost, but most things I've tried have been good. If you're worried, I'd just get a sample and apply it to a small area for a couple of days.  I'm surprised the BzzAgent campaign didn't instruct people to start slowly or something. I've always just slathered them on and never had problems, and I am sensitive to some things, though. If you are allergic to aspirin definitely don't use BHA. I don't think there's anything wrong with the brand; I think it's just that some people's skin will always disagree with some ingredients.

Sorry, that was long, but it's just the skin care brand I've personally had the most luck with so I thought I would give another perspective.

It's nice to hear something good about the BHA, I have really wanted to try her products for awhile. I got a sample kit and it just wasn't enough to tell if it worked, but at this point I'll try anything to get clear skin. I was lucky as a teen because I never had acne, once I turned 22 things seriously changed. I deal with breakouts on a daily basis and I am sick of it.

Her clear line is the only thing to "cure" my acne and I'm 36! I'm always in full foundation and the last week I've just done spot concealing, my skin looks so good... I have the 2% BHA and I've never had a problem. I also have a 4% BHA foam and that mixed with another brand's vitamin c caused a burn/heavy peeling on my neck, but in their defense you're not suppose to do that... 

*Please no one call CPS, but I use the 2% on my oldest's (10 year old) nose when she has clogged pores or small white heads and the next day they are gone.

Looks like I will be investing in her line.

I hope it works as well for you!! Also they have a good return policy if something you purchase isn't good for you. I used it no problem for the Aha gel, wasn't really for my kind of skin.

*Be sure to sign up and before you make your first purchase send a referral to another email you use. You'll save $10 off your first purchase and then your main account will also get $10 =)

That sounds like an absolute win-win! Thanks for the tip!

Yesterday I got invited (and joined) some boxed wine campaign. I am definitely not turning up my nose to free boxed alcohol! Wooooo! BzzAgent has unleashed the Kathy Lee Gifford in me.  

But seriously, I was surprised that I was actually eligible for the campaign. I almost never get invited to other food/drink campaigns since I don't have any chain grocery stores near me (besides Trader Joes - where I shop)... without Kroger, I almost never get invited to food stuff. 

P.S. I'm late to the Paula's Choice conversation, but I'd totally recommend anyone to sample her products. I never thought I would be a PC believer, but after using the 2% BHA liquid for just a few days, I was hooked since it makes my skin texture so smooth and keeps me mostly breakout free - I've been using it for 6-ish months with no burning issues... and I believe you can still order inexpensive foil samples on her website. Worth the try.

So my hubby has a Bzz Campaign starting on monday...but he hasn't received the item yet. Is this a normal thing or should I be emailing them about it?

That happens to us all the time. The Crest campaign started before my husband got his samples (they came in the mail like 2 days later) but you have so much time to complete your activities, you will be fine /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> On their website it says "If it's been more than 21 days since your BzzKit shipped and you still have not received it, or you don't see a BzzKit you were expecting, contact us."

Thank you! I just signed up recently so this is the first time we have actually gotten anything to test out. It's pretty exciting for being something so simple.

I don't have any campaigns currently. I'm so jealous everyone is getting theirs. I have a good score, but maybe I'm just not a match right now. I can't imagine why I didn't get matched up for the wine, after all, I'm good at drinking wine.

 

[SaraP]

Me too! I got the mac and cheese...wine and mac and cheese would be a awesome night  :lol:
