Advantages: Girlie things are great

Disadvantages: None

Like any review on this site the most important factor in a beauty or fashion review has to be the amount of personal experience and opinion that the writer can bring to the review.

In this category especially when dealing with cosmetics such as perfume it is the fact that it is one of the only categories where I think that time spent describing the packaging is relevant. I get bored with food reviews that describe the packaging, to my mind that is just padding by people trying to up their word count to get a better rating. For products like perfume though itcan influence the buying decision for some people as there is a snob value sometimes attached to such purchases.

For fashion and beauty products I want to read about the sorts of skin tones or types thatthe product is suitable for and what kind the writer has so that I can compare them to myself after all given the poor quality of the picture of members on the site you cannot rely on those.

Price is also key as the spend can be quite high and very variable for items and also how long the product lasts, for clothing this is how hard wearing they are and whether they retain their shape after cleaning and for csmetics it is how long they are effective.

At the end of the day though itis the personal experience and how well the writer can describe a particular product that for me will decide whether I nominate or not.

Summary: Bit of advice
