Q) What does a Realize Beauty Club Member have to do?

A) Well, that depends on how much you want to do. Most months there will be an opportunity for you to sign up to review a product in the comfort of your own home. If you do sign up you will receive a test pack along with some guidelines of how to use the product and the time frame to complete the assignment. You will then try it out and post your feedback at the Realize Beauty forum (which will be introduced later). Other than that you just receive our bi-monthly e-newsletter, try out the formulations and attend any events that take your fancy. You can always post your own stories on the Facebook wall, add some of your own snaps or leave comments on the posted articles.

Q) Is Realize Beauty just for Beauty Addicts or can anyone Join?

join.

Q) Does a Realize Beauty Club Member get paid?

A) Not usually. They get the test product to keep and may get paid expenses if the test protocol is complicated. Otherwise they might get money off vouchers, samples or product offers.
