Temptalia and Makeup Alley, usually! MUA is a little nuts, but I do find that the reviews tend to be fairly reliable.

Principessa Grassa, I love Temptalia too. I find MUA a bit confusing but I like that you can search for reviews according to your skintone or skintype so you have a better idea of how the product is gonna work for you. :)

Trisha, I check Total Beauty too sometimes but most of the reviews there are really short and I feel like they don’t always cover every aspect of a product if you don’t know what I mean. Still, it’s a helpful resource for reviews. :)

definitely beauty blogs and MUA as well! I learned a longg time ago that magazines aren’t very reliable when it comes to beauty products.

Makeup Morsel, I agree. Magazines usually praise everything to please advertisers. It’s a shame really cos they would get a lot more readers if they were more honest.

I’m addicted to a bunch of different beauty blogs as well as MUA. I do supplement this though with google, Sephora reviews, and even magazines too.

Stavroula, youtube is another great place to get reviews from. And you also usually get to see swatches and how the product is used, which is very helpful. :)

Mylanqolia, aww thank you! I hope you find my reviews useful. :)

I love pink melon too. I don’t understand a word lol, but the swatches are very helpful and they always have scoops about new collections. :)
