The Blogger Made Me Buy It: TAG

I saw Kal from Cluttered Closet do 'The Blogger Made Me Buy It' Tag and I thought it looked like fun & would give you all some good blog recommendations, so here goes!


1) Who are your most influential bloggers?  Who are the ones that you really rely on for reviews and swatches?

I regularly find myself reading Gemma from Miss Makeup Magpie's posts, as she blogs near enough every day and mostly features affordable products! Her reviews are very informative, with great pictures (which I think is really important), and they really give me a brilliant insight into whether I'd like to purchase a product or not. I also like Lily Pebbles, despite the fact that quite often she features high-end products; this month she has been focused purely on highstreet makeup which has been really helpful & perfect for me to read.

2) Do you buy a product solely as a result from one review from your favourite bloggers, or do you look for more reviews from others?

I've never bought a product purely because of one review! Just because I may rely on someone for their reviews, I always make sure I check out a few more reviews before purchasing, as everyone has different skin types & therefore different opinions on products. 

3) What is your most favourite item that you have ever bought as a consequence of blogs?

Most probably my Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze. I use this almost every day either as a base or just as my eyeshadow and I love it. It's so quick to apply yet looks amazing! I couldn't imagine myself without this product now.

4) What is your least favourite item that you have ever bought as a consequence of blogs?

I don't think I have ever actually bought something I've disliked yet due to blogs. Hopefully that day will never come!

5) Name 5 products you have bought recently as a result of blogs.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent, W7 Honolulu Bronzing Powder, Rimmel Apocalips in 304 Eclipse, Calvin Klein Luxury Creme Lipstick in Sinful, and the Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer!

6) Have you ever given into blogger hype? If so, which hype?

Yes I have! The Rimmel Stay Matte Powder in Transparent was definitely a blogger hype and I am not disappointed that I purchased this at all. Transparent was the hyped about shade too, which is perfect as it isn't really visible on the skin, so doesn't look cakey either, yet still gives you a lovely matte finish to your skin. It's such a great finishing touch to my face every day!

7) Have you ever avoided a blogger hype? If so, which hype?

I haven't purchased any of the Naked Palettes, but this is only down to the price. I would give in to the hype if I had a little more money in my pocket! I have also never purchased any of the Maybelline Baby Lips. I love Burt's Bee's Lip Balms, and I haven't heard all good reviews on the Maybelline Baby Lips, so I think I'll still to my trusty Burt's Bee's.

8) Is everything you buy based on blogger reviews or are there some items you buy without checking out a review?

Unless there is something specific I'm looking for, I normally just end up popping into Boots or Superdrug and buying whatever seems to catch my eye. I would say it's a 50/50 as to whether I buy based on reviews or without reading reviews.

Let me know if you would like to see a full post on anything spoken about above. Feel free to do this tag too & tweet me at @alicebailey_ if you do, I'd love to read yours!
