Disclosures

Truth and honesty in blogging is important to me, even if I try my best not to show my face to the world. Please read the following carefully, as it includes critical information regarding sources of products, impartiality, and your privacy.

Your Privacy


I value your privacy. Any third party cookies sent by this site are not a result of coding on my part. I do not track individual users, and promise not to disclose the email subscription list. In a world with almost zero privacy, I try my best to protect yours.


Copyrights and Trademarks


I am not the owner of the trademark on any of the products that I review. This is a personal blog with consumer reviews. All unique descriptions, reviews, and photographs (aside from those properly attributed) are owned by this blog. You may not use any pictures or descriptions that belong to this blog without attribution, and may not use them to sell items. Theft isn't beautiful, and I take it seriously.

Affiliate Links


Quirky, Busy, and Beautiful has partnered with a select group of retailers to provide hosted content and  links to curated products and offers. If you click on an ad and complete a purchase, this blog will receive a small commission. That money is not added to your total, rather it is paid out by the retailer in compensation for hosting the ad and driving traffic. Occasionally I will use affiliate links in the text of posts; these posts will all include the "Affiliate Link" tag.


Products for Review


Unless specifically noted, all products on this blog were purchased personally by me from retailers at either full price or using discounts available to the general public. I am not a member of a discount program like MAC Pro with a substantial discount. In the rare times that I'm reviewing something that I received as a free gift via sweepstakes or giveaway, this information will be noted both in the body of the post and in its tags. Regular GWP items will not be noted as such since they are publicly available offers. My opinion is just that- 100% mine, free of bias. I am spending my own money (and some rewards from various programs), and am not being compensated for my blog entries.

PR Policies


That said, I welcome future opportunities to work with various lines. Any products received will be considered a gift for consideration and not payment for a positive review. As a beauty junkie, I will try just about any product.  Brand reps, please email quirkybusyandbeautiful [at] gmail.com for contact details.

Referrals


I host links to several rewards programs on this site, with a personalized referral code. In full disclosure,  when someone signs up for the product or service, I receive a bonus from the service. It is equal to that offered to any active member, and I will not post referral codes for a service that I am actively using myself.

Hosted Advertising Opportunities


Although I am not currently hosting paid advertising, please email me at quirkybusyandbeautiful [at] gmail.com to discuss future partnership opportunities.
