My sister brought this up the other day. Bloggers who get "bribed" with free product for a good review. While I'm sure I have read some of these blogs, I can guarantee you I will not do this.
a) It's against my moral compass... I do have one... and it bugs me at night >.>
b) It's wrong.
While I will accept free product, which I doubt will ever happen, ( Minus the samples, everyone gets free sampples) It WILL NOT bias my opinion.
If your product is crappy, I WILL write that it's crappy.
Speaking of crappy, I've got a few "crappy" reviews coming up. I think it's mostly repackaged makeup, some of it just may need reformulation.

I know quite a few of our beauty and most of our nail bloggers and while I'm sure there are a few (very few) bloggers that may well give positive reviews in exchange for product, The largest majority I believe are honest.
I personally have always been hobest in my reviews. If a product(free or not) is not up to par then I will and have informed my readers of my honest opinion. I have also recieved products so bad or missleading that I have refused to review and or returned those products.
I can understand some peoples concern over blogger honesty.
I don't think it is really an issue and our readers are generally intelligent people so I believe they can tell an honest review from a fluff review.
There will always be dishonest people and bloggers who blog just to get freebies or those who are secretly conected to a company. I do think that those are a very small portion so we don't let those few bad apples ruin our fun bunch.
:o)
