Why should you read a beauty/fashion blog?

Hi babes!

The other day I posted my blog's link on a facebook page since I'm new and I want to reach more people so I decided to personally post my blogs link on about 5-6 facebook pages. I got pretty sweet response but I was taken aback when a girl asked me "Why do you waste your time writing these? Are you really jobless?"

I won't lie. I felt really bad. I wouldn't say I was hurt but yes felt BAD. That incident really made me think, Why should anyone read your beauty/fashion blog? SO thought of penning down a post!

Well, lets face it! No girl is ever satisfied with whatever she buys, be it makeup, clothes or shoes! Don't we all just love taking advice or suggestions from a friend, sister or mother about how a dress looks or that particular lipstick suits you or not? My answer is a YAY YES! Why? Well because I want to look good, not all the time but atleast when I wish to! For that I need to be sure and confident about what sort of makeup & clothes I'm wearing!

Personally, my fashion and makeup sense has really improved ever since I have started reading beauty and fashion blogs. I discovered so many new makeup brands, products, their usage and what not. I have learnt how to transform a simple outfit into a chic OOTD! I never thought I'd wear jewellery or fancy makeup when i go out but I did! How? When I saw like-minded girls doing the same so effortlessly!

Some quickies:

1. Reading blogs saves up a lot of time while shopping (Since you already know about the products available in market and you'd be better at choosing. A 5 hour shopping trip will come down straight to 2.5 hours. How cool is that?)

2. New ideas! No that doesn't imply that you can straightaway copy some one's style but you can add an element or two into yours.

3. Stepping out of your comfort zone. Okay I agree you love that old pink lipstick and have several tubes but how about trying that hip orange that you never thought existed? Seeing someone else flaunt it gives you a certain confidence to atleast TRY something that you thought wasn't your forte.

4. Best place to talk with like-minded people! Isn't that true? Doesn't your friend/husband/boyfriend/mom crib about you talking makeup-uage all the time? Mine does! Sharing your ideas or knowledge with someone who thinks exactly the way you do doesn't get ANY BETTER.

I hope this was useful in some way or the other.

Thanks for reading.

Much Love.
