FTC Compliance Disclosure
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) 16 CFR Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising,” Beauty Moves Me makes the following full and transparent disclosure about our affiliate relationships, sponsored content, and how we earn money through this website.
We believe in complete transparency with our readers. You deserve to know exactly how this website operates and how we are compensated so you can evaluate our content with full information.
What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a specially coded URL that tracks whether a purchase was referred by our website. When you click on an affiliate link on our website and make a qualifying purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer or manufacturer. This is called an “affiliate commission” or “referral fee.”
The price you pay is NEVER affected by whether we receive a commission โ you pay exactly the same price whether you shop through our link or go to the retailer directly. The commission comes from the retailer’s marketing budget, not from any additional charge to you.
Our Affiliate Programs
We currently participate in the following affiliate programs:
- Walmart Affiliate Program โ We earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through our Walmart affiliate links. Walmart is one of our primary retail partners, and many of our product recommendations link to Walmart.com.
- Impact Radius / Impact.com โ Our affiliate tracking for multiple brands is managed through the Impact platform.
- Amazon Associates โ We may participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com.
- Other Brand Programs โ From time to time we may participate in direct affiliate programs with beauty brands. These will be disclosed in relevant articles.
How We Earn Commissions
Here is exactly how the affiliate commission process works:
- You visit our website and read an article or product review
- You click a product link (which is an affiliate link)
- You are taken to the retailer’s website (e.g., Walmart.com)
- If you make a qualifying purchase within the tracking window (typically 1-30 days depending on the program)
- We receive a commission on that sale โ typically between 1% and 20% of the purchase price, depending on the retailer and product category
You pay the same price regardless of whether you shop through our link.
Does This Affect Our Recommendations?
No โ and here is why we are confident in saying that.
Our editorial integrity is the most valuable thing we have. If readers do not trust our recommendations, our website has no value. We are deeply committed to providing honest, unbiased assessments of the products we cover.
Our policies to protect editorial integrity include:
- We never recommend products solely because they offer higher commission rates
- Products we do not genuinely believe in are not featured, regardless of commission potential
- Negative reviews are published when products do not meet our standards
- Our editorial team does not have visibility into commission rates when writing reviews
- We regularly feature products with low or no commission if they are the best option for our readers
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, we may publish sponsored content โ articles, reviews, or features that have been paid for by a brand or company. When this occurs, we will clearly label the content as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or “Advertisement” at the beginning of the article.
Even for sponsored content, we maintain our editorial standards. We only work with brands we would recommend to our readers, and we always share our honest opinion.
Gifted Products
Sometimes brands send us products for free in exchange for a review or consideration for coverage. When we review a gifted product, we disclose this at the beginning of the relevant article with language such as “This product was provided by [Brand] for review.”
Receiving a product for free does not guarantee positive coverage. Our assessment is based on the actual merits of the product.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on our website may be identified by:
- Buttons labeled “Shop on Walmart,” “Buy Now,” “Check Price,” or similar call-to-action text
- Links in product roundups and “best of” articles
- The presence of tracking parameters in URLs (e.g., ?affiliate=… or similar)
- Disclosure statements near product recommendations in individual articles
When in doubt, assume any product link on this site may be an affiliate link.
Our Commitment to You
We are grateful for your trust and support. The commissions we earn through affiliate links are what allow us to keep our content free, pay our writers and editors, and continue investing in high-quality beauty journalism. When you shop through our links, you are directly supporting our ability to create the content you value.
We promise to always put your interests first, be transparent about our relationships, and never let commercial considerations compromise the integrity of our editorial content.
