Pros:

Final Verdict:

I will repurchase this product! I am already on my second bottle, so I do like it. However, the bottle design is weird to me. I like that it is a spray bottle, but it is a cream type leave in, so when I get to the end of the bottle, it is hard to get out. I do wish it came in a bigger bottle, because I really like this product.

Biotera Pro Series Damage Recovery Intense Recovery 5-Minute Strengthening Treatment & Biotera Exotic Oil Weightless Shine Deep Replenishing Masque

So I bought Biotera Pro Series Damage Recovery Intense Recovery 5-Minute Strengthening Treatment & Biotera Exotic Oil Weightless Shine Deep Replenishing Masque from Burlington’s Coat Factory for $2.99 each and I am upset that I did not get all of them. They work like magic! I will be reviewing these products together, because they work very similar to each other. I used them as my deep conditioner and switched them out every wash.

7 Things I Love About Smiley 360

smiley360-highrez_color-logo1-1024x409

  1. I love the free samples.
    • It’s free and they usually give deluxe or full-size products
  2. I love that they give out coupons.
    • Coupons can be used for personal purchases or given away to family and friends. They high value coupons.
  3. I love the type of samples.
    • They give good samples. The selection is different and if you are chosen to participate, then you will like the fact that you get to try this product.
  4. I love they give products easy to find in stores.
    • If I like a product, I would like to be able to purchase this product and tell others where to purchase this product. I do not have to go all over town looking for a particular store to find a certain product. I can go to Wal-Mart, Target, Kroger, Family Dollar, or Dollar General and easily find the product.
  5. I love that the products aren’t always brand new products.
    • I know this may sound weird, but they have a lot of products that have been on the market for awhile and they may not have been selling the best, so they want people to try them and get the word out. A lot the time they be things that I may have wanted to try, but never did.
  6. I love that if you are selected you will get the product they offer.
    • A lot of sampling sites will have a few samples to give to a bunch of people, and most people never get the products. This site has enough products for almost all of the people that qualify. So unless you do not go on the site enough, you may miss your opportunity to try a product.
  7. I love that it is simple to use.
    • You do a survey to see your demographic, they give you another survey to see if you qualify for certain products, if you do then about a week later they offer you the product to try, they ship it fast, you try it, give your opinion and you are done until the final questionnaire.
