Cover Girl Studio

A question about : Cover Girl Studio

Hello,

I won a free make over and photo session with Cover Girl studio.

Has anyone ever won/experienced this??

Best answers:

• Mmmmm nope. Are they asking you to pay anything upfront? or for the photos? :confused: I can't seem to find anything about covergirl on here except for a very old comp posted by covergirl :rolleyes: about covergirl insurance :rolleyes2
  and on google all I can find is that it's a modelling agency ..... (which I expect means you get photos done and have to pay loads for the portfolio)
• well done.
• they have charged me some amount (30 quid per peson) which is refundable.
  And i will get just one pic for free and rest i have to buy (if i want).
  Thanks hayleyw1
• Well, well done, I hope it goes ok, I hate to sound so negative but I've heard about some similar comps where they try the hard sell & stuff ..... someone mentioned one on the scam thread:

• A lot of these photo sessions are all out to charge u loads for a photo.
  Got 1 done myself locally, in Manchester,
  and then after the photo session was shown the pics...not very well taken...there was like a shadow on each of my pics...about 30 pics in all.
  Then it was down to the crunch...Ј60 for 1 pic... Ј90 for 2 pics...and so it goes on..
  So I just bought 1 pic.....
  Just all a rip off.....
• I "won" a similar comp a few months ago, to be hones if they are asking for money, even if it refundable, then it isnt really a win, I declined the "offer"
  I think you will be given the hard sell after the photos are taken.
• well done
• Congrats - but beware!
• avoid it like the plague
• If i ever get a call like this i know i'll just hang up after reading all the previous threads seeing as I don't enter comps to win makeovers I don't see how I could win if I don't enter.
  Have fun if you do decide to go OP but don't let them bully you into buying all the photos if you don't want to. Xx
• hope it works out ok
• i havhad exactly the same thing told i was a runner up have make over pampered etc they will edit the photos take a friend with me and get one free photo, she gave me the website but nothing comes up and she said it was in the west end...told i had to pay Ј30 deposit each which was refundable.... i have been done over on things like this before so not sure if i believe it. Has anyone actually been there and/or had the phots done? seems bit strange as the web site address she gave me doesnt actually exsist!! Help please

• I had this very phone call tonight. I must have entered the competition they were on about because they mentioned my very specific job title, but I just don't remember because over the past few weeks I've been on the net constantly!!!
  Apparently the girl is ringing tomorrow but I'll 'accidentally' miss the call til I find out more about it!
• Yesterday I got a call saying I had won a makeover/photoshoot on February 17th for me and a friend or me and 2 family members. You have to go in with no make-up and you get your hair styled and make-up done and get to drink free drinks while doing so!!! Then we get 1 photo free and they can do whatever touch ups we want to the photo… But I am seriously concerned that it is a massive scam!!! They said we would have to pay a fully refundable booking fee of Ј30 per person…” I said I’m not comfortable making any payment over the phone and I would need to look into it properly and confirm the legitimacy of it all… I got these details:
  Guy’s Name calling: Shaun Matthews
  Direct Line: 02074369765
  Ref No: 2375
  Website: www.covergirlstudio.co.uk
  He’s also posting out a confirmation pack…
  Does anyone have any positive feedback? Has anyone been?
• My mate nikki won this same "competition" too and we both went along - as she paid the deposit and booked it i knew even less....
  it is basically a marketing scam and you dont get anything for free (well one pic)
  they didnt pamper us on the day in the exclusive way they mentioned we were in a room with loads of other - models - feeling rather fat and uncomfortable next to size 0 people! there was no cocktails and free bar afterwards either.
  we waited there almost a whole day for it to happen in stages.
  we did get our makeover and that wasnt bad i must say.
  the photo's were excellent!!
  the catch was the price!! we took the cheapest bundle 6 photo's plus the free one (total 7) - split it between both of us with a 50% discount and it came to Ј310!!!!!!!!! (so on top of the Ј60 deposit - which we put towards the photos we still needed to cough up Ј125 each - which they were nice enough to let us delay paying right away and pay in installments so we finish paying off 2moro and will finally get all of the photos.
  the biggest con is that the photos arent even printed up! they neglected to tell us! they come on CD!!!!!
• i just wanted to know if you are allowed to leave the cover girl studios with the make-up still on,as i have been told by a friend that you have to remove it befor leaving.
  i came 2nd in a comp, paid the Ј60.00 for me and my sister,so just want to know if we can leave with the make-up on???? anyone know????:confused:
• are kids allowed on the photo shoot with you or do you have to pay extra for that? or do they have like a minder or that,to keep an eye on the kids,they give you such a short amount of information that your left hanging around trying to find out anything you can from ANYONE!!!!!
