For this weeks task I decided to blog about a new website that my sister has brought to my attention recently. It is listed as one of the top three beauty blogs and in my opinion, one of the better blogs on beauty.
Outblush has four different categories are blogs that she has created. "fashion," "home," "beauty," and "life." My sister and I find her "fashion" and "beauty" to be the most helpful. Each different blogs holds different knowledge about each piece of clothing or type of makeup. She gives you prices and places you can find them, but also alternatives to those products if you are looking for something more "thrifty."

Home Blog:
Beauty Blog:
Life Blog:
Although her blogs aren't dated, the comments to her posts lead me to believe that they are frequent. As well, from my observation there is always new things when I view the blog which is about once, or twice a week.

The tone of these blogs are very straightforward about the information. It isn't much for humor or entertainment. It is the who, what, when, where, and why of the information. For many this may not be optimal. Some look for blogs that have both information and entertainment. Although, for people looking for an exact answer this would be the blog to visit.
This blogger does who images in her blog post that add to the overall impression of the blog. The images make them more informative and let you know what it is you are reading about. This also helps with the marketing of the product. For example:
The use of this image is 1) advertising the product, 2) adding asthetic affect to the blog and 3) makes the blog more informative.
Another extremely helpful aspect of this blog is the links that you find throughout the blog. Within every post that she creates she is generally advertising a product. There are links to purchase this product, links offering similar products and the ability to comment and share the post. See below.








I love blogs like these, not beauty per say! But blogs that give information on a product, list why its good, what its used for etc. Then they also provide you with a link to the original product website, and put a price tag beside it with the ability to purchase the item. I think blogs like these are perfect for consumer societies like Canada and the US.
