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.

Weekly tip, Beauty news and favorite product

Hey, guys! I know it has been a while since my last weekly tip and for that, I'm sorry. I have posted other blogs this week , though. So be sure to check those out.

As for my weekly post, I decided to change it and I personally think its for the better. Instead of showing the nail polish I wore that week, I replaced it with my favorite beauty product. I mean, I dont do my nails that often, so why include that in my weekly post, right? Makeup and skincare is more fun anway!

Now lets get on with that tip, shall we?

Weekly Tip

If you have dipped your toes into the world of makeup, then you have probably heard of using a Qtip to clean up your eye makeup. What a waste of Qtips! Instead, use a concealer brush left over from an empty concealer tube. Just clean it and start using it. I find it works best with makeup remover, just like a Qtip. It cleans up your makeup just as good but produces no waste and saves a little money. If you end up not liking it, oh well, there was no money wasted! By the way, remember to clean the applicator regularly like other brushes. Product build- up will prevent it from doing its job. A dirty towel can't clean dirty dishes.

Beauty News

Colourpop is launching 24 creme gel liners with matching liners in a couple of weeks. Knowing Colourpop, the liners are going to be bomb as hell at a cheap price.

Product Favorite 

My favorite product this past week is Becca's Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop. It's really intense but natural at the same time. The texture is so incredibly smooth and blendable. The shade is a champagne peach that blends into the skin like camoflauge.The price is up there for a highlighter but the purchase is justible since the product is so good. I would love to say I'll repurchase it when I run out but its limited edition. So hurry up and pick yours up while you can!

What do you look for in a holiday palette?

I personally look for multiple products in a sleek palette. My favorite kind of holiday palette includes eye shadows, blushes, bronzers and highlights.. One palette that I'm eager to get my hands on is The Balms "The Balm Of Your Hand" palette. It includes their colt products like Mary-loumanizer, Bahama Mamma and their best eyeshades, as well as a lipgloss or two. The packaging is also the "balm" (get it?). It's sleek and has a unique design. 

Another thing  I like in holiday palettes are themes. I'm seriously lusting after the Too Faced Christmas In Paris Palette. My room is done in Paris themed decor and it would look perfect on my vanity. But the high quality would be a huge plus! Too Faced is always reliable when it comes to their holiday kits. 

Sample sizes are a nice touch, too. I love getting eyeliners, glosses and primers thrown into kits. It's nice to have samples to test for future purchases. Although, that might be a bad thing for my wallet! 

One thing I would like to see more of are drugstore holiday kits. Most of the kits include low quality items and I feel like the drugstore could do better. Especially, e.l.f. They're capable of making great products but for some reason their  holiday kits are like toddler makeup kits. The quality just isn't there. The drugstore should really inspire their kits after high end companies. Their sells would sky rocket then!
