Question of the Week: When you make a “blind purchase” (buy a beauty product without ever having seen it in person), how important is it to you to read reviews first? Have you ever made a blind purchase without reading a single review?
Answer: It’s important, but not a necessity. Normally when a beauty product catches my eye it’s from a Facebook or Instagram post from one of my beauty blogging friends – and I’ll check out their review before I buy. But on occasion I’ve just HAD TO HAVE a palette or lipstick immediately, and made a blind purchase.
Readers – Do you always read reviews before making a purchase?
