My 4 favorite fashion / beauty / review blogs PART 1

Sometimes when I consider a beauty purchase or want to know if I should spend my hard earned money on a product or not I try my level best to get as much research on it as possible. Before the Internet I used to peruse Elle and Cosmopolitan magazine  but since I stopped buying them religiously - because I realized I'm not their target market - (that's another topic for another day), I now have my go to blogs which I rely on for first hand information on the latest products

I've numbered them in a particular order, from the one I find most reliable (number 1) to the ones I read just for fun 

thestyleandbeautydoctor.com

This blog is run by Caribbean-born, U.S. based blogger, Danielle Gray. I enjoy her in-depth posts  and the effort and process that goes into reviewing products. But mostly, I love how you can tell that she really enjoys blogging. Not only does she blog about makeup she's an image consultant too. A legitimate one at that. As in she has the papers to prove it. Now that's really something.  

thatigbochick.com

This blog is run by Nigerian born, UK based blogger Dimmah Umeh. I came across her page via on Instagram and I've been reading her posts religiously ever since 

makeupalley.com

Some of the reviews on makeupalley are hilarious and some are downright ridiculous. I check this site out mostly when I'm not sure wether to purchase a product or not. If there's too many unwavering reviews I don't even bother but if most of the reviews lean towards the positive I'm most likely to consider the product

fashioninflux.co.uk

This blog is run by UK based blogger Lydia Rose, I mostly enjoy this blog for the high end make up reviews. Not only does she blog about makeup but she merges both her loves fashion and beauty so effortlessly. The theme of her blog is quite minimalistic and her style is really one that I could see myself rocking. So chic yet so comfortable
