If you have been writing regularly for us from last 4 months then you are eligible for the sponsored products. We buy tonnes of makeup and beauty products every month to review. We can send them to you if your article and photo quality have been consistently above par. You would need to provide your complete address and contact number for us to send products to you. You would also need to keep us updated with the delivery. If you take the products and then don’t send the review and stop answering our mails then we would be taking this up legally.
