Are you brand loyal? & other notes;

Do you just buy from a specific brand? There are self-confessed MAC addicts out there, as well as other cult beauty brands such as NARS, YSL and Laura Mercier who would remain loyal to their favourite brands and buy 100% of such products from them. But is really sticking to one brand a wise decision, and can you still be loyal while buying from other suppliers?

Beauty skincare and cosmetic brands are in the thousands in today's society, and while we have a lot of choice to choose from, consumers are increasingly being more aware of what they buy, and seek the internet for reviews of certain products, to be able to see them up close and other people's opinion on them, pushing the boundaries of saving money and holding cash back in 'sprees', often leaving consumers with products which don't do what they want them to. However is it a good decision that once found that brand which delivers for you on one product, or maybe two, to stick with them because you receive quality and assurance you’re going to get a good, solid product which is worth your hard-earned cash?

Not really. Brands are well known to either 'specialise' in products, are known specifically for certain products, or simply are terrible as some products and ridiculously fantastic at others. For example, MAC is known for their gloriously pigmented and smooth eye shadows, and while there are odd ones in the selection which are grainy and un-pigmented, they're excellent. While their foundation's and skincare ranges are notorious for either being GREAT or TERRIBLE, often causing acne and terrible skin tone colours. So surely being loyal is buying something you know is going to be good, however sticking to what you know best and while you have bought from a brand before, eye shadows are completely different to foundations.

By buying from a selection of brands, your ensuring you are staying brand loyal in regards to sticking by something you love and know is going to deliver for you, but aimlessly having faith in something you haven’t tried before as a different formulation is not so good, and should shop around for excellence in that field as a fresh start.



Other notes; I have been paid and bought some FANTASTIC new clothes!!! :D I shall do a massive photo post with all the new things. Huge savings at Urban Outfitters where I've spent £90 and have around 9-10 new tops, and cute jewellery, Amazing Freya underwear at Figleaves, Soap and Glory goodness, and of course MAC cosmetics. One of my favourites... YSL Rouge Volupte Lipstick! <3 <3 LOVEEE. Here is a sneak peak of some things... reviews to follow of course ;D



What do you think about being brand loyal? Do you only buy from one brand or more than one? What have you bought recently?
