Frequently Asked Questions
- What is BeautyQA?-BeautyQA is a product-focused site provided by Define QA, a startup company based in San Diego that develops specialized and data-driven consumer guide websites. We assign rankings to current beauty and personal care products. Rankings are based on substantial amounts of data collected from various sources. Data cover top selling products, professional reviews from the beauty industry, and mass user surveys. From the rankings, we list the TOP3 products in various categories on the site to freely share with the internet community. Furthermore, our rating system is continuously being refined and improved as time goes on. At BeautyQA we also offer educational and motivational articles and themes that we hope will inspire you to be more confident and have a better understanding of yourself.
- Why rate beauty products?-From the millions of beauty products in the marketplace, there are ones that do outstanding jobs without being unaffordable. These are the gems that we are looking for! We look at categories such as the best foundation, the best shampoo, and the best mascara. We believe these products can enhance the beauty you already have. They can make your good features look spectacular! If everyone joined together to rate beauty products, we can identify the best products that can do the job. The BeautyQA site is a medium for beauty enthusiasts of all levels to join forces to rate products through polls, surveys, and reviews all of which contribute to TOP3 rankings. Currently, you can vote for your TOP3 by registering a free account with us and rating a product. At BeautyQA, we know that surgical and invasive treatments for casual cosmetic purposes are not for everyone. And so we encourage you to get in the habit of thinking that your physical 'flaws' are not flaws at all!
- What does the QA in BeautyQA stand for?- QA in BeautyQA is commonly expected to stand for "Questions and Answers". However, for BeautyQA, QA takes a new and different meaning: Quality Assurance. Quality Assurance in any company is typically an inspection and improvement-seeking process to ensure that products meet or exceed customer expectations. Similarly at BeautyQA, we have a system of collecting and combining as many product reviews, ratings, surveys, and top selling information as possible from many reliable sources, identifying what the majority of people expect from products, and then letting the whole world know what the best products are. We believe this system can get companies to make more of what we the customers want (high quality, low prices) and less of what we don't want (poor quality, high prices). Finally, with more and more people joining the BeautyQA family, we believe companies will be more inclined to WOW us with even more innovative and quality products in the future.
- What should I do at BeautyQA?- At minimum, just look up the TOP3 products for reference and buy them anywhere you like! If you don't agree with some of the rankings, then let us know by registering an account, entering your TOP3, and rating products. Like many others you have bought products that you have liked or disliked. We trust your experiences and acknowledge that your vote definitely counts! If more and more people begin to define what they want in beauty and personal care products by reviewing and voting at BeautyQA, then we are likely to identify the best products in quality, effectiveness, and affordability. So join the BeautyQA family today and don't forget to tell a friend!
- Why should I rate and review products?- Believe it or not, for most companies, it is very difficult to obtain consumer reviews. Yet once obtained, the knowledge gained from these reviews can greatly increase these companies' abilities to improve their products and also develop new and innovative products that consumers would want to buy. That is why it's important for consumers to provide product feedback in order to contribute to the advancement of beauty and personal care product quality. Rate a product today to get better products in the future! BeautyQA's REVIEWS section is a medium for people to contribute and share their honest opinions about any product. As a bonus, when you rate and review products, you can begin to gain points to get free prizes!
- How often do TOP3 rankings change and how can new products get on the TOP3?- TOP3 rankings are updated 1 to 3 times a year. If you want more frequent updates please let us know! We are always open to our members' suggestions to improve our site. TOP3 products change with more votes and product reviews from registered BeautyQA users. Users can promote their favorite products by registering for a free account and rating those products. A higher number of votes and excellent product reviews will contribute toward higher product rankings and an excellent chance for placement in the TOP3. Top national sales, professional reviews, and other independent consumer reviews are also considered in the rankings. Check out current winners for the best foundation or the best mascara now!
- Other sites list their best products. What makes BeautyQA unique? BeautyQA collects a LOT of sales information, reviews, and surveys from many sources. We then combine all the data to be analyzed by a unique ranking system that uses high powered statistics to assign product rankings. We are unique because our system rates products by majority opinions. So instead of basing your purchase on a five star product that was based on 4 reviews, buying a product in the BeautyQA TOP3 ensures that multiple thousands of reviews were considered in that product ranking.
- Does BeautyQA make beauty products? No. We do not manufacture any beauty or personal care product. We currently do not test any products for ranking purposes.
- Does BeautyQA sell beauty products? No. Except for general BeautyQA merchandise, we do not hold any inventory of products (beauty or personal care) to sell.
