Where to go for product reviews...

Before buying any product, I always make sure to check out reviews first before hitting the mall. I have to base my decision on other people's reviews and of course, if my lemming is really strong. I would rather use a product that has been tried and tested by other people than risk being the first to use it. Here are some websites that I often check and feel very helpful when it comes to checking out reviews.




These are some of the websites I visit and find very helpful. (In no particular order)

1. MakeUpAlley - This is my number one go-to for make up reviews. It provides reviews from different people with different types of skin, different skin tones, colors, and from different countries. I always consider the reviews here before finally giving in to one product.

2. Girltalk - Since this is a Filipino website, I really take the time to read on product reviews here about the products available here in the Philippines. And this is one of the reasons why I got hooked into make up. You'll discover new goodies as reviewed and recommended by fellow girltalkers. Here is where I discovered DWH Toner, ACV as toner, OCM.

3. Blogs - I love reading blogs. I have fun reading product reviews, seeing hauls, and even rants. I always find it cool when bloggers get to show products that are really awesome and especially the cheap ones tht turns out to be really good finds.

4. Temptalia - I always go to this website for collections and swatches. Other than reviews, seeing swatches of products such as blushes and lippies is one factor I consider before buying anything.

5. Youtube - I really like product reviews and tutorials.

6. Pebble - This is a recently-discovered website for me. I checked it out the first time and find it to be a helpful one. It doesn't only come with make up reviews. I like that you can find reviews and Q&A's about the latest gadgets as well. And it does not only show reviews when you search on a product. It also shows the items available at different stores at bargain prices which is really cool.

7. Make up talk - Another make up forum which I also find helpful reviews at.


Of course, googling a product for reviews is one thing I always do and it leads me to different sites like the ones I mentioned. When in doubt, Google it. :P

  3. I'm a big fan of MUA! It's terrible, though, because it makes me buy more hahaha. I also like Cozycot, though a lot of their stuff aren't available here. I'm not a big fan of GT because a lot of members use textspeak, which drives me crazy. I can't stand it hahaha.

  4. makeupjunkie, yes, those websites are really helpful. Go check pebbles, it's good not only for make up reviews.

    Sol, how could I forget Specktra! Silly me. :P

    Shobe, I totally agree with everything you said. :P

    Kaye, i'm not a fan of cozycot. :P however, you are so right about GT. It really annoys me when I see red textspeak thingies on some members' post. Typing each letter is absolutely free. Tsk tsk.

    Khymm, you're a super girltalker. :P

  6. Pareho tayo. I also google products before buying them. And of course, I also check Girltalk for feedbacks. Girltalk is very helpful, it taught me how to become kikay. LOL.

    Golden, yep. It is indeed very helpful. :) And I started to really like make up because of GT. It probably is innate but GT has such BI powers. :P
