When did Swatch And Learn begin?

July 25, 2010.

How many bottles of polish do you own?

As of December 2011, I have over 500 bottles. And that number’s gonna keep on growing!

What camera do you use?

As of December 9, 2011, I use the Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR Camera. Before that, I used the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200.

Did you buy the products you reviewed, or were they sent to you for free?

The vast majority of my blog posts feature items purchased by me. (What can I say? I love to shop for beauty products!)

Some were gifts from my family or friends (for a birthday, for Christmas, etc.), and some were sent to me for free from PR.

I always disclose whether or not I bought the items. And when companies do send free products, I don’t let that sway my opinion because I’m dedicated to always providing honest reviews.

Would you be willing to review products sent to you by companies?

Yes, I might be. Anything sent will be considered for an honest review. And when I say honest, I mean it. If I don’t like the product after testing it out, I may choose to write a review letting my readers know!

So if you’re confident that you have a good product and are willing to take that small risk, please e-mail me at SwatchAndLearn@gmail.com for consideration.

Do you blog for a living?

No, I have a full-time job and work on Swatch And Learn in my free time. Blogging is such a fun hobby for me, and I love the freedom it gives me to express myself creatively and to connect with fellow beauty lovers. I’ve learned so much along this journey, and I look forward to learning even more!

Does Fiona blog anymore?

If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll have noticed that Fiona and I alternated blogging days. She decided not to continue blogging, and her last post was August 7, 2011.

Do you use affiliate links?

Yes. There are a few affiliate links on Swatch And Learn, but the overwhelming majority of links are not affiliate links.
