Unless compensated as a disclosed sponsored or advertorial post, we exercise full independence over reviews. Receipt of a product, whether solicited or unsolicited, does not constitute a contract for a published review of the product or for the substance of any content produced that discusses the product.
While Raquel Seymone attempts to accept only products of interest in hopes of lessening negative reviews, Raquel Seymone does not guarantee a favorable review or any review at all. Reviews are done based on honest assessments of the products and content will not be provided for pre-approval by PR representatives or brands, nor will reviews be edited after the fact based on requests to do so. Products that wish to impose such limitations will not be accepted for review, but may be eligible for inclusion as a sponsored post with compensation. Editorial turnaround time is currently 4-6 weeks from receipt of a product.
