Undercover Blogger | Do You Trust Beauty Bloggers/Vloggers

 I'm back again with Undercover Blogger! I case you missed the scoop, Undercover Blogger is a series where I go undercover and ask questions from beauty lovers just like you. They do not know I'm a blogger. My blogger identity is kept undercover on social media websites all across the web. 


Here's the question I asked everyone. And don't forget to leave your answer in the comments. I won't be offended by your answer. 




Do You Trust Beauty Bloggers/ Vloggers? 


"I honestly don't trust any of the bloggers working with Ipsy. You can tell when they use all the products from that months bag and it just doesn't sit well with me." 


"You can tell when they lie in my opinion. Like if they rave about a product they were sent once and you never see that product on their channel again. That is a red flag for me" 


"There are some that could be more forward about if they are affiliated with a company and you use their link in the description box to the product they get a percentage of the sale." 


"I think it depends on the blogger."


"Smaller Vloggers tend to be more honest." 


"Yes I trust them. No I don't think they lie."


"You can tell which ones are being honest and which ones are lying if you watch them enough."


"Sometimes that is not explained very well or at all. And you don't even know they are getting a commission. That also makes me wonder sometimes if they truly love the product." 


"Yes."


"No." 


"I think the more products they receive by companies, the more they lie." 


"I trust the ones who seem genuine like Emily Noel."


"Sometimes you can tell if they are lying. It's obvious when they tell the truth because they are more descriptive about a product." 


"I trust only trust a few of them"



So how can you tell if beauty bloggers / Vloggers are being 100% honest? Not sure? Find out in tomorrow's post! I'll give you pointers I have learned over the years to tell if you can trust beauty bloggers or Vloggers. I may be one myself, but sometimes I need info on a product I'm curious about and I love watching YouTube videos from honest people.

New Blogging Series: Undercover Blogger

Hello! I hope you're having a great day. I'm sure you're wondering what the heck Undercover Blogger is. If so, you clicked on the right post. I have been talking about it for a little while now but I haven't officially presented it in a post yet. So I thought I would go ahead and do that. I would hate it if everyone was confused when I posted this series for the first time. Enjoy!



What is it about? Over the past year I have found that bloggers are treated differently. People don't trust what they say or always expect them to know everything. To be honest, before I started blogging I thought bloggers should everything but now I realize we're all only human. I like to think I know everything but I don't. For instance, sometimes I just don't know if a product is good. I haven't personally tried every product on the market. So this where this series will come in handy. If I'm curious about a product, then I'll ask a crowd as an undercover blogger. This will also come in handy when I review a product but hate it becuase of my skin type. I don't want anyone to dismiss a product just becuase It doesn't work for my skin type. So I'll do a poll on it and report back here using the undercover blogger series! 

It's not just limited to that specific group of questions. I also want to use this series as an experiment. For my first post (which will be up soon), the question I will be asking is "Do you trust beauty bloggers/ vloggers?". If I was to ask that as a blogger people would probably answer differently or not even answer at all! But when a fellow beauty lover asks it, the honest answers are told and that's what I'm after. 

I'm sure as I further this series it will change a bit. I still have some things to work out. I also have moments where I ask myself if this series even makes sense. If it doesn't work out, then atleast I tried. I'm just really hoping that it does becuase I feel like this could be a fun series to work on, write and read. 

How can you participate? If you have a fun question that you would like me to research either leave a comment on one of my posts or send me an email. I have a very open mind. So ask anything! 

What should I do if I find one of your secret accounts? Please, don't say anything! Feel free to tell me and maybe you can get involved. Or I you can leave feedback on the accounts without telling me that you know who I am. 

Will people's names be included in the feedback from the social media? No, no ones name will appear on this site. Everything is anonymous. 

How often will a new post be uploaded? I would like to say 2-3+ times a month. It really depends on the feedback I get and how many questions worth researching I come up with. But like I said before, the longer this series goes on the more information I will have. The first post should be up on the blog later this week or early next week. Right now I'm trying to figure out the best way to format it. 

Sneak peak!!
The first post will have feature the question in the picture below!
