I do tend to buy things if ive read a brilliant review from a blogger that i trust.<br />I am also more picky when it comes to buying products as i know know how many different great products are out there. I try and buy quality over quantity these days.<br /><br />I like to read blogs that have a good mix of reviews to suit all budgets as well <br /><br />I am sold by photographs more than anything.

However, I do feel like some of my old favourite blogs have become a lot like regular magazines, featuring products based on their relationship with the brand. <br /><br />I am inspired and influenced by what I call, 'boutique bloggers', the niche ones who I can always rely on for honest information,whether they bought the product, got it for free or if it's a sponosred post. I just want a fair review.Farrah Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565159910269973616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400566183093999979.post-61767863714616416212011-09-13T15:12:22.220-07:002011-09-13T15:12:22.220-07:00Brilliant post!

I would have to say I have been majorly influenced by bloggers, but I would rather have been influenced by them then magazines where now I question the opinion given on products. I also prefer to be influenced by bloggers because if I am researching a foundation and I know they have the same skin type then I know it will most likely be right for me. I was also influenced by Holly with the eyeshadows but I am so in love with it. xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11128933999293065887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400566183093999979.post-86147844631104501292011-09-13T14:53:50.669-07:002011-09-13T14:53:50.669-07:00Brilliant idea Farrah & I'll be v interest...Brilliant idea Farrah & I'll be v interested in the responses. Yes I've been influenced by bloggers for all the same reasons as you, esp if it's by someone with similar colouring to me. It's a bit like a recommendation from a friend vs reading a magazine IMO. Or the difference between PR & advertising. I'm not exactly sure of the difference between a sponsored post & a product provided for review, though clearly there's money involved. But I know when I'm reading a mag, if I spot the word Promotion on the page I just stop reading. I don't care if someone has been given a product for review, but I do care if they've been paid to say certain things. Not that I'd judge a blogger for doing so, but it wd affect my perception of what I read. To me blogging is about integrity, which will always be subjective - & so long as I'm convinced of a blogger's integrity I will read, trust and act on what I've read at the till! <br /><br />God I've rambled on. This is yr blogpost, not mine lol great topic though!<br /><br />Nic xxNic, Strawberry Blondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623552483528551033noreply@blogger.com
