Disclosures

I thought a more complete explanation of the disclosures on 15 Minute Beauty was in order.

15 Minute Beauty complies fully with the latest FTC Guidelines regarding disclosure, which means you’ll see disclosures on each post that has a relationship to disclose in any way, and all of those will be buttons to go back to this page.

Note that while I do have relationships with these companies, I try very hard to be as objective as possible and provide info that my readers expect to read on my site. My integrity is everything, and what would my site be if you couldn’t believe anything I wrote?

Please keep in mind that I’m a person, not a giant company. 15 Minute Beauty does cost quite a bit of money to run, so for this reason I do get paid for certain things. They help pay for server space, emails to send out, etc.

Things to disclose:

PR Sample, Product Sent for Review

You will see this mentioned on a lot of posts. I try very hard to keep the samples away (I accept under 5% of offers to send me a sample of a product), but there are definitely items I want to review and can’t get on my own. A lot of these items are not available yet to the public, but some just are hard to find in my area.

Not everything that is sent to me gets reviewed. I find reviews that are negative just… not fun to read. And not at all fun to write. So, I mostly write about items I liked or loved. I will write about products I don’t like as much, though I rarely trash products, there are very few bad products out there these days. Instead, there are just products that are a bad fit. So, that moisturizer might not work for my combination skin, but would be a great option for someone with dry skin.

Sponsored Post

There are posts on 15 Minute Beauty that have been paid for by a company. I turn down most requests for sponsored content on my site, but if there’s a product or campaign that fits with things I’m interested in or would have featured anyways, then I will work with the company on a post on the site.

For these posts I will allow the brands to help direct content a bit. For example, they might want me to feature a tutorial rather than a product review, or they want to add information about a special coupon offer or contest at the end of the post. Sometimes they can make minor corrections to a post before it is published. I will allow them to correct grammar errors or factual errors if I have explained a product incorrectly.

I do not allow brands to make major changes to a post. I will not change my opinion on a product. I have withdrawn from sponsored posts due to my inability to portray a product in a positive light. Rather than go through the time and effort and then need to withdraw later, I only agree to sponsored posts with brands and products that I’m interested in and know that I’ll like.

Affiliate Links

I do work closely with RewardStyle, and many posts have links directly to the products discussed. I receive a small percentage of sales if you purchase through that link. There’s no obligation to purchase through those links and you could certainly go and buy the same items without using my links. All posts with those links are clearly disclosed.

Advertisements

Note that 15 Minute Beauty does run banner ads, but they do not influence content at all. I have an ad company (AdThrive) which serves these ads to my site, I don’t have anything to do with them other than saying “ok” to the ads general location on my site. I have no direct contact with the advertisers, and I hope only family friendly ads are on my site! If that’s not the case, please let me know and I will contact AdThrive.

So recently @redken sent me lab samples of a new c So recently @redken sent me lab samples of a new collection, Acidic Bonding Concentrate. They don't have a release date, it's sometime early 2021. I will be stalking their site until that happens. So, this 3 part system (shampoo, conditioner and leave-in treatment) prevents breakage, protects color, intensely conditioners, smooths... the list goes on. And the benefits start from your first use, and then they get better. I am not even joking. This is my hair looking like I've spent a ton of time smoothing as I dry and then maybe even touching up with a flat iron... except that's a rough blow dry with just my fingers. The time savings (and pretty hair) are just unreal, especially if you've neglected your hair like me in the pandemic. I am missing @hairby_tiffanyrose !! Also, I've tried it out, and it appears this is a collection you are best off using all 3 products together. The leave-in alone is good, but the results are best with all 3 used in combination. #hairgoals #redken #beautyblogger
#ad It's finally the day! All members of the @Se #ad It's finally the day! All members of the @Sephora Beauty Insider Program can shop the #Sephora Holiday Savings Event!

The list of perks is pretty long, and membership is free. Today on the blog I'm sharing my picks for this year's event.

#ad I recently bought a few things to update my be #ad I recently bought a few things to update my beauty look for fall, and these purchases have had a BIG impact! I found a new favorite daily face wash, the perfect berry lippie for fall (it even feels hydrating) and a mascara that really delivers the best of both worlds, both volume and length! All of my new purchases are from @Nordstrom, which means I fully admit to buying a few new tops when I placed my order… Shop your screenshot of this pic with the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app http://liketk.it/2ZjcR #nordstrom #ltkbeauty #ltkunder50 #beauty #skincare #fallbeauty #liketkit @liketoknow.it
#ad Today on the blog I'm sharing a much requeste #ad Today on the blog I'm sharing a much requested post, and update on my typical DIY at home manicure routine. I've tried so many different products over the years, but I keep coming back to the same salon quality brands over and over. And the good news is that you don't need to spend a ton to get them, they're available on @Walmart! My at home routine takes me under 10 minutes (plus some added drying time) and can last for a full week, despite all of the alcohol based hand sanitizer that I use in the hospital. I'm really in love with a dark manicure this fall. I want all the deep purples, reds and berry tones. What are your favorite shades this fall?

#ad The perfect under eye concealer can be *reall #ad The perfect under eye concealer can be *really* hard to find. Especially if you're like me and over a certain age. More pigmented concealers tend to cake and settle into fine lines, but lightweight products don't hide imperfections as I would like. Have you seen the @Clinique Even Better All Over Concealer + Eraser yet? It comes in 42 shades, all are very easy to blend. It takes me under a minute to apply (with a fingertip!), and my under eye circles are instantly gone. Imperfections are corrected. It lasts over 12 hours without caking or creasing. You can see my before and after pictures here, it takes under a minute to apply, blend and look so much more awake! You can find Even Better All Over Concealer + Eraser at @Sephora. I recommend also picking up the Clinique Pep Start Eye Cream, which has caffeine to tighten under eye bags and is full of peptides to fight aging. Clinique Stay-Matte Sheer Pressed Powder is perfect to apply in a light layer over the concealer. I paired it all with one of my favorite mascaras, Clinique High Impact.

@lorealparis sent me their new Air Volume Mega Mas @lorealparis sent me their new Air Volume Mega Mascara this week, and I tried it for the first time today. So far this is a major win, natural and high volume lashes without clumps! Perhaps I should have added a bit more color corrector under my eyes. But it’s a Sunday during the pandemic, and this is still pretty good for 43 and a not so great night of sleep last night! Also, my brows are a bit overdue for a shaping. Please ignooore them! Edit to add: now that I think about it, I didn’t put any concealer on at all today. Just my BB cream. Hence, looking tired. I guess I could photoshop, but I’m honestly too lazy to do more than just stand near the window for good light for this picture! 😂 We are enjoying a great fall day outside, resting before the next week of virtual school.
