Beauty on a Dime: Dark and Lovely Au Natural collection When it comes to fashion, I know my stuff. But for all things hair and beauty, I have to admit that I'm a bit baffled.

sample website, pinchme launch

So I was excited to hear about the launch of PinchMe. The site is straight forward: sign up by filling out a short profile, receive products for free and complete a short survey about the product after you've tried it.
The Australian company made its U.S. debut last month and it's for the consumer like me who loves to check out something new. I tried it and there are some pros and cons...
