CLIX RESEARCH

NO MIN PAYOUT

PAYS IN: FREE PRODUCTS

(Formerly Cosmetic Research Online) You can expect to receive hair, bath & beauty products, cosmetics & skincare. You test the product for a period of time and complete an online questionnaire detailing your results. Opportunities get filled really quickly, and I MEAN REALLY QUICKLY! So this is probably a site you should only bother to join if you are able to check your emails or their website several times a day or at the very least daily! They will send out a mass invitation email to all those fitting the criteria, and its up to you to be on the ball or you will never get to test a product for them! Opportunities to participate occur regularly and though you don’t get paid for completing tests, you always get to keep the products which are all free from animal testing! I've had lots of freebies from these! click here
