Product Reviews

This website accepts products for consideration of review from brands and Public Relations representatives. This does not in any way sway my opinion of the product(s) received. I pride myself in being completely honest in any of my reviews or content produced on this site, whether positive, negative or neutral. I reserve and exercise full independence over product reviews, whether the product has been gifted to me or not. While my thoughts and content may differ from others, please note that everyone has a different experience with products and what ever is stated happens to be mine. Receipt of a product, whether solicited or unsolicited does not constitute in any way a contract for a published review of the product or for the substance of any content produced that discusses the product(s).

Honeygirl’s World is a Lifestyle site that discusses and posts on topics to include a plethora of subjects not limited to: Beauty, Fashion, Motherhood, Cooking, Inspiration, etc. While open to testing and reviewing products in a wide range, I do make all attempts to accept products that fit the site’s interests and demographic in hopes of lessening negative reviews. This site does not guarantee or promise a favorable review or any review at all. The site and writers complete all reviews based on honest assessments of each product. All and any content (included YouTube Videos) for the site will not be provided for pre-approval by the PR representatives, brands, etc. nor will reviews be edited after the fact based on requests to do so. Products, brands, etc. that impose such limitations will not be accepted for review but may be eligible for inclusion as a sponsored post with compensation.

Timeline

Timeline for all product reviews is currently 4-6 weeks from receipt of the product unless otherwise stated upon agreement. This is especially so for Skincare related products to allow for a proper testing of the product. If you require a sooner timeline, while it is not guaranteed, please feel free to contact me to discuss.

All items received by Honeygirl’s World & HoneyXO are deemed to be gifts / commercial samples that do not form a contract for review and are not deemed to be compensation for any content that is written.
