The Blogger Made Me Buy It Tag
Ooh okay, this seems like a difficult one because I have so many favourites but I'd say the most influential bloggers are Anna from ViviannadoesMakeup and Adrienne from The Sunday Girl.
I go to various different bloggers for their reviews and swatches but I rely mostly on Fleur de force and Milkteef. They have great quality photos so you can see what the product looks like very clearly and they write very in depth reviews.
2) Do you buy a product soley as a result from one review from your favourite bloggers or do you look for more reviews on others?
I can't say I've ever bought a product based soley on one review, I always google for reviews and swatches of the product before I decide whether or not I should part with my money whether it's about a drugstore product or higher end.
3) What is your most favourite item that you have bought as a consequence of blogs?
Ooh, another difficult one! but I'd have to go with the Urban Decay Naked Palette.
Before I bought this eyeshadow palette I was wearing the same makeup everyday but since using this I have been experimenting with the shades, I can create every single look possible from a gorgeous smokey eye to a natural look, it's amazing.
4) What is your least favourite item that you have bought as a consequence of blogs?
I hopped onto the maybelline babylips hype a few months ago after reading some positive reviews about them and since then I've completely gone off the raved about lip balms.
5) Name 5 products you have bought recently as a result of blogs?
The majority of products that I've got in my makeup collection is actually mostly due to myself reading wayy too many blog posts. The most recent products I've bought as a result of blogs are the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms, NARS Laguna Bronzer, La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ and LUSH Bubblegum Lip Scrub.
6) Have you ever given into blogger hype? If so, what hype?
I tried avoiding the Naked 3 palette hyper at first but I failed and I recently gave into it after reading so many positive reviews about it. I also gave into the hype surrounding the Maybelline baby lips last year, I liked Cherry Me at first but I don't get any use out of them now.
7) Have you ever avoided blogger hype? If so, what hype?
I completely avoided the hyper surrounding the Benefit They're real mascara.
I avoided it as I think the high street produce better quality mascaras for a third of the price of Benefits they're real mascara.
8) Is everything you buy based on blogger reviews or are there some items you buy without checking a review?
I'm going to be honest and say it's 50/50 really, if I see something I like but haven't seen any reviews on the item I'd buy it on impulse whether it's a beauty or haircare product.
I also have a huge wishlist which has since gotten bigger after reading many reviews so if I see one of the products I want due to this I'll pick it up in an instance. As for my skincare, I'm much more fussier with this, I have to read up on a skincare product before purchasing.
I tag every single one of you lovely ladies(or gents) I hope you enjoyed this little tag, I really enjoyed writing it.

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash | Review
I've been thinking lately that I don't seem to have some kind of schedule for my blog, sometimes I lose motivation to sit up and type up a post or I feel like I just don't have anything to talk about. I have noticed that I post at least maybe two to three times a week apart from the period of time when I was ill. I'm going to continue doing that and maybe in time I will get back to posting daily, I need to get my blogging mojo back.
The packaging is lovely and so appealing to the eye with the usual eye-catching colours, it's very vibrant and looks quite feminine which I love. I love that it has a pump dispenser, normally with body washes I tend to pour out way too much product but with the Sugar Crush Body Wash that's definitely not the case, I can pump out as much product as I like without wasting any of it.
It is a very light and creamy body wash which lathers up quite well when mixed with water so you'll only need at least two-three pumps of the product to use all over the body.
It completely moisturises and nourishes my skin with the added omega-rich veggie oil, it never leaves my skin feeling dry at all.
As for the scent, wow! It is not one for the faint hearted, it is incredibly strong with the freshly squeezed lime and kiwi juice water, along with coolcapsule x and the omega-rich veggie oil. The lime scent definitely stands out the most, it smells so fresh and zesty which I like surprisingly as I normally like quite sweet smelling scents. This is one of those body washes that is great to be used in the morning as it's incredibly invigorating, it makes you feel completely revitalised and ready to start the day.
I wholeheartedly love the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash, it is great value for money as it's 500ml of product for £6.50, it will last me for ages.
What Soap and Glory products do you recommend?

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Plus + | Review
La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Plus + doesn't just deal with the breakouts itself but it also helps correct the skins appearance and imperfections such as the acne scarring that occurs after the spots disappear. It contains an ingredient called Procerad which helps to protect against the appearance of red and brown marks on the skin.
La Roche Posay laboratories say that after 24 hours 'imperfections look visibly less red, after 8 days imperfections appear slightly reduced and after 4 weeks the pores look unclogged and the skin texture looks refined'. This product sounds like an absolute dream doesn't it?
Effaclar duo plus + is a lightweight gel-cream which doesn't feel sticky or oily on my face at all, it actually feels quite hydrating once applied which I love. You can use it underneath your makeup if you liked but I prefer not to.
I have been using Effaclar duo plus + for the last two weeks and I have noticed a difference in my skin, my spots have been minimised and the inflammation is slowly disappearing. After a few days of use though my skin broke out a bit but you have to persevere with it to get good results. Everyones skin is different though, the product may work for me but it might not work for you.
Overall, I am so impressed with the Effaclar duo plus + and I will be making a repurchase of it once it has ran out. La Roche Posay Effaclar duo plus is available online at Boots here for £15.50
Have you tried the La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Plus + ?

Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette
If you follow me on twitter you would have seen my tweet about the latest little addition to my makeup collection by now, the Naked 3 palette, and boy am I one happy girl. I originally wanted the Naked 2 palette but it was never in stock so I decided to order the Naked 3 palette instead while they had very few left in stock on lookfantastic.
