~~ UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2007 ~~ I hate lashing out my hard earned money on anti-wrinkle serums and "solve your cellulite" creams. That's partly because they are just so expensive, but mainly because I'm not really convinced that they make a great deal of difference. In all honesty, how can a cream (no matter what brand or how expensive it is) really work effectively against the twin bulldozers of gravity and time? That said, I do live in hope that one day soon I will judiciously apply my night cream and wake up the next morning with the face (and buttocks) of the 19 year old that I once was ... more

I joined cosmetic research online a few months ago, after reading a review here on Ciao about they way it gives its members’ free make up to try and then comment on. I am addicted to sites where they give out freebies, surveys for cash or anything else which benefits me for not actually doing that much, so I signed up straight away. Sue Ayrton Moon, who is a beauty therapist and a college lecturer, established the site in 1995 to encourage volunteers to try out specific products before they are unleashed on the general public. The company went national in 2003 and now has over 7,000 volunteers ... more

Have you ever wanted to try out cosmetics before they hit the shelves or have you ever wondered who tests them before they go on general sale and hate to think of that poor fluffy bunny rabbit cowering in its cage away from some mad scientist wanting to shove shampoo in it's eyes to see what reaction they'd get (personally this is what criminals should be for)?

The website is the home of Ayton Moon Consultancy, originating in 1995 by Sue Ayton-Moon, that aimed to bring ... more

Let me tell you about a company who have chosen to send me through the post: A wonderful lipstick in just the colour I was looking for A really useful sun block product with 50 SPF An anti-wrinkle cream that’s new and innovative Oh-my-God the latest cellulite reducing gel in a huge tube An anti-aging night cream which is beautifully light Interested yet? **************** I couldn’t believe it when I saw a banner ages and ages ago from a company called Ayton-Moon asking for people to sign up to receive freebie cosmetics and toiletries in return for trialling the products and answering questions ... more

I'm always a sucker for a freebie and not adverse to filling in the odd survey provided I know there will be something in it for me. Usually I prefer it to be cash, but free beauty products are always nice to have too, so I'm a fan of this particular site. Ayton Moon Consultancy (the company behind this website) trial products for some large companies, by sending out samples to folk like you and me, and asking us what we think of them. All that is required is to fill in a profile on their website and keep it up to date, so that they can decide which trials to ask you to join. You can profile ... more
