Any posts paid for by a brand are always marked as AD in the title. An AD means that a brand has a) paid me for my time, effort and coverage and b) provided me with a number of key messages that they would like to convey to my audience. I only agree to an AD if I am happy with the key messaging and feel it\u2019s both truthful and relevant to my readers and viewers.<\/p>\n
I feel that this is the clearest and most straightforward way to tell you \u2013 before you read content \u2013 whether there has been any brand involvement.<\/p>\n
A note on press samples and gifts: receiving press samples (now called \u201cgifts\u201d) is absolutely essential to what I do. I test hundreds of beauty products so that I can tell you about the best ones \u2013 receiving these samples in no way affects how I write about them, but it allows me to have an overview of what\u2019s on the market that I wouldn\u2019t otherwise have. I like to think that my readers benefit from this advantage.<\/p>\n
Nearly all of the beauty samples sent to me are sent unsolicited; they are sent, I\u2019d imagine, in the hope that I will get around to trying them and genuinely love them and feature them in an organic, honest way. I very rarely consider a press sample to be a \u201cgift\u201d because writing about beauty is a huge part of my job. Being able to test things before they launch, being able to test many different versions of a product in order to find the one I think is best, being able to compare similar products from many brands; it\u2019s all constant background work that results in the posts that you see here on these pages. I feature a tiny proportion of what I test and hope that my honest opinion is something you value.<\/p>\n
Affiliate links are links that provide me with a small (sometimes negligible) commission if you make a purchase after clicking. Again, it doesn\u2019t affect the way I write or how I present my content.<\/p>\n
If you have any further questions on the way that I disclose please do contact me via the contact page and I\u2019ll be happy to answer and to take on board your suggestions, alternatively you can find me on Twitter @anotherartworld.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
