Why Do You Spend Time On BR...& you could WIN!

I spend time on Beauty Review because I don't really have anyone in real life to fan-girl over makeup with but here, everyone is on the same page. I really like to write reviews (I enjoy writing and also, points for the Vault!). I want to get more involved with the forums.

I have always loved make-up and decided to Google the top foundation picks in New Zealand which directed me to the Beauty Review site. I was amazed with how many products that had been reviewed and in doing so I felt compelled to comment on some of the products that I have used. I like the team effort on behalf of all of us kiwi gals in the search for our own make-up holy grail.

I have spent a lot of time searching the web for reviews and new products to try. Youtube, makeup sites, Amazon. But the one thing in common everywhere is that a lot of beauty blogs don't cater specifically to the products which are available in NZ. A lot of bloggers' fave products aren't in NZ, so I just read the blog and look at the photos and think "if only I could try that Anastasia Brow Pomade for myself..."

But then I found BR which is made by kiwis, contributed to by kiwis, and features items currently available for kiwis. And even better, BR has a culture of promoting NZ brands and businesses. It is a homegrown beauty haven!

I have just started exploring in the last couple of months, and I am really enjoying reading through the wise advice of some cool chicks out there. I am a bit cautious about commenting because I'm still a newbie, but I'm sure I'll get more confident in being a regular contributor.

Since finding my feet on this site, it has quickly become my new 'go to' for when I'm considering buying a new beauty product. I love the honesty of the reviewers when writing their reviews and know I can absolutely trust what they have to say. It is a unique site and I'm so thrilled to have found it :)

I like reading the reviews before buying a particular product, I'm pretty discerning budget wise and don't like to waste my money so picking out the crappy products is a highlight for me. I've also used it to find everyones favourite product (the 5 star ones) to make sure I do give it a try if its something I'm looking for

I buy new products often and I like to see how other people use them. If I am finding something difficult to use or ineffective, someone else may have a solution on here. It is refreshing to read about make up that you can actually buy in New Zealand, or, at least, online and get delivered here in New Zealand. Makeup Alley is wonderful but it is largely US-based so I often can't try the items (unless I pay insane shipping costs). If I am thinking about getting a new primer, for example, I look on Beauty Review to see how the options stack up.

I love writing comments to let people know whether a product is worth the money they spend or not. Nowadays when I make a makeup purchase I look up a certain item on BR and see what people have to say about it! Its a bonus that I get to earn points to spend on the vault. I do surveys quite a lot so BR is a much more fun way to get rewards for writing my opinion! The rewards are so useful too I still use all of my rewards from the vault before last. I love how we get to test out beauty products too, I received a moisturiser and I love it!!

I spend my time here because I want to get some real-people reviews before I start thinking of purchasing a product. It gives me enough of pointers to determine whether I should invest my resources or not. I also like to share my personal experience with everyone - because my reviews are commercial-free, real life, genuine one like others are!

I am very interested in make up and cosmetics and when I came across this site when I was searching for reviews on a product I couldn’t believe that there was really a site for kiwis to post their reviews. This was exactly what I had been looking for on the internet. I signed up immediately and have been reading and writing reviews almost every day since i singed up. I really feel like I can trust the reviews on here and it is really helpful when I just want to know more detail on a product. I have found new products I am very interested in trying by reading reviews that people have taken time to write

I used to be very boring buying only products I'd used before but I now love coming here to discover new products and especially to see just what others think. I love that the reviews are written by real people just like me and the opinions are honest. I also love writing reviews when I have time as hopefully my comments can also help others. I also love that everyone here is so lovely and willing to answer questions etc

I love makeup, I love reading about new products, researching a product before I buy. Beauty Review lets me do all of these things. I like the fact there's no hidden agenda and people can comment honestly. I value the reviews I read.

I spend my time on BR for many reasons, one of my main reasons is that it's actually helping me improve my writing skills. The others are to find new products I haven't heard of before and also look at opinions about products before buying them. It's also a bonus that I can save up points to use later for amazing goodies.

I was searching a few years ago for a nz beauty box subscription and this came up in the search bar and have never looked back since joining. I love makeup skincare and all things pretty but have endless appreciation to this website it's enabled me so much with the opportunity to discuss in an open forum safely with people who just get it. This place is my go to for reviews on product for support online and for debriefing or sharing anything to do wight anything predominantly makeup and skincare but if you've ever sat in the forum you'll see how the topics are expansive.

I rely on BR for up to date information on the products I buy .... I check the reviews here first, and then if I have a burning unanswered question I put it to the forum where there is always a quick response. Also I like seeing what fellow makeup peeps post on the photo wall, I enjoy the variety of posts. This site is big enough to be useful for research but also small enough to feel part of an online community.

I like being a member of Beauty Review for several reasons: 1. I love beauty products 2. I enjoy the articles - the information and the humour 3. I enjoy talking in the forum and love the company of the other women as well as their thoughts and ideas and the sharing of bits about their lives and loves 4. I enjoy looking at the photowall, as it is often fun and usually interesting 5. I love the sister site BBBE 6. I like sharing my thoughts via reviews and earning points for the vault by doing them

BR is an important and enjoyable part of my life :)
