I think the big thing really is as many people said reviews vs ads....
You think Beyonce can even pick up a box of Nice and Easy hair color in public without Loreal suing the mess out of her...! **** the woman probably needs approval to change her hair color! You won't see Bey saying she loves Covergirls new foundation thats for sure!
When you endorse a product the way celebs do you are entering a CONTRACT that says you will put your face to THIS product and not been seen using the competitors. I know someone caught some shade for a phone deal they endorsed and then was seen with an iPhone....
If Kinky Curly pays you to say you love their products... you better not say 2 months later you were using that Baby Butter Cream! I think the companies are being SMART in what they are doing because if I'm paying someone for a video I'm making up a contract and they better not mention my competitor ever! Most people aren't going to do that so what they are hoping for is that people simply say they like it and make a video or they don't and don't make a video...
These people sending products know what it takes to run a business (the bigger companies at least)... They know the limits of what they can and cannot do and I don't think anyone is being taken advantage of...
