These products are fully approved, tested, and ready for release before we ask beauty editors and focus groups of women just like you to help us make our final selections."<br />These products have been tested and are ready to be sold to retailers. In my opinion, it wouldn't make sense for labs to create products they couldn't sell. This company will also be providing us with the name and retailer of the products we try once they go to market. That will be ongoing proof of the validity of the products. <br />I choose to look at this as an exclusive opportunity to try the newest developments in products before the rest of the world has a chance, rather than "a guinea pig". The world is all about perspective, and that just happens to be mine and I'm sure many others. <br />At some point when you choose to be a part of a new company, you have to decide what level of trust you are willing to place in them. We aren't all capable of giving the same level and there's nothing wrong with that. These are the world's top labs and the ingredients are clearly listed. You were even able to compare them with other top-brand products. That is further support that these are comparable to high-quality brands. All of this and more is why I feel comfortable placing my trust in this company.Stefanie Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556187111028480187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315431268781674464.post-68880915884526688562013-06-23T20:13:38.370-07:002013-06-23T20:13:38.370-07:00I don't know about this.

Who says they aren't just repackaging other products and passing them off as some luxurious new formula? So now when I see reviews mentioning that the ingredients are the same as other brands that really sets off the warning bells. Even if one polymer is different or whatever (not the first time I've heard this excuse) that doesn't really make it some new innovative formula that someone is going to want to buy up. I am very dubious and not sold on this concept at all.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998982585831713930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315431268781674464.post-36024812931621896312013-06-23T15:20:53.642-07:002013-06-23T15:20:53.642-07:00Yeah I would definitely not pay to be a guinea pig...Yeah I would definitely not pay to be a guinea pig :p <br />Do we know where these products are made at least?<br />I don't doubt that they arent safe, but I think this should be somewhat of a free service?

The products that other beauty boxes send out have already been tested for safety and health concerns and you are trying them only to see if you like it. With "From the Lab" these products have not yet been tested (whether on animals, other humans, etc) and YOU, the consumer, are paying to test these products on your own face. What I am confused about though is if you have to provide feedback on the product? How does the Lab benefit from this without knowing how the product preformed? Did I miss that?Meagan Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315431268781674464.post-6043635969392770572013-06-23T12:33:55.583-07:002013-06-23T12:33:55.583-07:00I don't have a problem with this idea at all. ...I don't have a problem with this idea at all. There are so many companies who buy from the same labs and sell under their own label. I don't think this concept is any different than the other beauty boxes that send you product hoping after you try it out that you will buy it- you are still a guinea pig but the only difference is you know the brand nameAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315431268781674464.post-63748362902497494972013-06-23T12:18:41.313-07:002013-06-23T12:18:41.313-07:00Yes.
