The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) regulations for endorsements and testimonials in advertising, went into full effect on December 1, 2009. As of March 2013, the FTC has since updated their disclosure guidelines, which can be viewed here.
These regulations require that people disclose weather or not the product(s) they are featuring were gifted by PR, part of an advertising/paid endorsement deal with the company, or something they personally purchased themselves. Basically, the goal of this regulation is to stop misleading costumers, and to protect the interest of the consumers.
Ever since I started writing this blog, I have always been honest when it came to sharing my thoughts on a certain product(s). Whether my experience with the product was good or bad, I will voice my truthful opinion. The majority of the items I review on this blog are purchased by me but once in awhile I do get sent (free) items for posting/review consideration. When I receive items from a company or PR for review, you can be sure that I will always report back with my most honest thoughts to share with you all. I would never cheat my readers into buying a product, just to benefit that company and/or myself.
From now on, you will be seeing a disclaimer button (beginning) and a disclaimer note (end), that lets you all know how I obtained the product(s) in my reviews.

Also, I want to mention that its a good idea to keep in mind that if a product works or doesn't work for me, it may or may not give you the same results as it did me. I am not held responsible if a product did not work out for your specific needs, or caused a negative reaction. Everybody's skin reacts differently to products. It's always best to make sure you know your skin well enough to know what it can, or can't tolerate.
