Beauty Bloggers: Sharing the Knowledge

Something I just noticed, showing my naivete when it comes to blogging, is that we lacked a Blogroll.

Most of you know what this is. Essentially it’s other bloggers that we as a company and I as myself enojoy reading. These have to do with Beauty and Fashion and even just the gloriousness of Vancouver herself.

The women that write these are powerful, brilliant and hilarious. They focus on sharing what they’ve learned to make everyone elses lives more interesting and full.

I wanted to give a shout out to those that I read daily, have supported us as a company or have encouraged me personally. It’s a wonderful network to be a part of and by no means is my list complete. I will add to it as I make new discoveries.

They will be full of joyful information to make you feel fabulous, or tell you of events to be fabulous at.

We’ll do it alphabetically to be Swiss-like and neutral:

• Black Girl with Long Hair: I was pleasantly surprised when this fantastic site linked to one of our blog posts. They have a wonderfully interactive community that shares tips and tricks for hair styles and health. They also do fun giveaways!
• ChickAdvisor: This is necessary resource for all those Beauty Junkies out there. User generated reviews of spas, products, restaurants and shops. The store reviews are almost primarily Canadian, as are the events. But any one can benefit from the product reviews. Their ChickLit Blog keeps you up to date on the hot new trends, parties and all round interesting things.
• five-corners: a great fashion and lifestyle blog based out of Vancouver. She’s been wonderfully supportive,  and is super informed about shopping sales in the Vancouver area.
• Musings of a Muse: This girl blows my mind. Everyday I get an email that reviews or informs about a list of products from all over the world. I don’t know how she finds the time, but I love every second of it. You must subscribe to her RSS feed. Also she makes it ok to combine an obsession with beauty products with geekiness (represent the WoW Ladies, ya Blood Elf Priest). Funny with a healthy does of love for sparkles and nice smells.
• Spa Beauty Schools : She has been so supportive of us since we undertook Social Media. This site is for people interested in becoming involved in the beauty industry. It’s an excellent resource all around for information, tips and tricks. She also has her own personal blog at Simply Fabulous which also deals with Fashion.
• Temptalia: Probably one of the most popular beauty bloggers out there. She does close ups of beauty hauls, specializes in Mac makeup and plays around with gogeous eye makeup looks. Impossibly kind, she also does a lot of polls and giveaways. Very interactive!
• The Beauty Brains: These ladies are a must if you love products but have a bit of a skeptical streak or sensitive BS meter (like me, I frown a lot while listening to pitches from most cosmetics lines). They combine a love of beauty with science. Claims and questions are submitted by readers and then assessed using published journals in biology and chemistry to see if it’s feasible. They are proponents of the idea that claims have to make sense in relation to the ingredients used and the proven uses and effectiveness of said ingredients. Even though our philosophies clash occaisionally, they present their ideas in a funny, informed and easy to read manner. It’s hard to argue with science.

There you go! This is just a taste of the blogs that enrichen my existance. They all make me laugh, teach me neat stuff and all around make me a more interesting person.

So read! Learn!
