PR & Disclosure

PR INQUIRIES:

Thank you for your interest in having Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog review your products. This is a PR-friendly beauty blog that is always interested in featuring high quality products from a wide variety of beauty, wellness and lifestyle brands. 

Please read our guidelines about product submissions and reviews:

1) If your product is selected for review, then please be advised that the turnaround time from photographing, testing, writing and posting the review can take anywhere from several weeks to months, depending on how many reviews are ahead of yours, and the length of time required to test and review those products. Skincare products typically require 4-6 weeks of testing in order to write meaningful reviews. Makeup generally requires far less time to photograph, swatch and test, and therefore the turnaround time is generally faster.  If your product review is time-sensitive, for a time-specific launch or a limited edition collection, then this needs to be disclosed upfront since Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog’s editorial calendar is set weeks to months in advance. Once a review is complete we will send you the review and social media links. 

2) We cannot guarantee that every single product submitted for review will be featured, and if a product causes a skin sensitivity or an allergic reaction, all testing will end, and it will not be featured on LSBB.

3) Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog will never accept money or press samples in exchange for a positive review. Brands who wish to impose specific guidelines constitute paid sponsored posts, and Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog must agree to the content. Sponsored posts and press samples will be clearly disclosed to adhere to legal guidelines and to uphold our practice of full transparency.

4) Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog will never make changes to a review at the request of a brand or PR since we only give honest assessments of our experience with the products that we review. The exceptions are: the publication of an error about the product, a broken link, or any objective product information that is necessary for the review. Additionally, Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog will neither submit a review to a brand or PR agency for approval prior to publication, nor will we edit its content after the fact.

5) Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog requires full-size products in retail packaging for the purpose of review. Sample packets and deluxe samples do not provide enough product for a meaningful review, and LSBB readers want to know precisely what they will receive should they decide to purchase the products featured.

6) Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog does not sell any products. Therefore, if you are a supplier offering LSBB deep discounts and wholesale pricing for products to sell, please be advised that your emails will simply be deleted. 

Receipt of products for review neither guarantees a favorable review, nor does it entitle said companies or PR agencies to edit or pre-approve said review. All opinions that I express are my own honest assessments of the products received. I will always clearly disclose when items reviewed are furnished for purposes of review.

If you are interested in having me review your products, please feel free to contact me directly at: lolassecretbeautyblog@gmail.com
