Blogger Blame Purchases

A few weeks ago, the beautiful Mia posted about purchases she made that she "blamed" on other bloggers called The Blogger Made Me Do It. I loved the idea, so I told her I was definitely stealing it, because it's so true! So many of my fashion, beauty, and home decor purchases come from all of you wonderful peeps!
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer 
Blogger to Blame: Biana
I had been a huge fan of Benefit's Erase Paste for several years to cover up my hereditary dark circles under my eyes and any acne marks, but Biana kept raving about this concealer so I gave it a whirl. And of course she was right, this is definitely my go-to concealer now because I love the consistency better and that it has a built in wand. 
Kate Spade 'Cedar Street - Monday' Crossbody Bag 
Blogger to Blame: Emily
I had been on the hunt for a designer crossbody bag for my upcoming trip to NYC and Boston, and I had always loved Emily's Kate Spade crossbody, so when I saw this one a part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale this year I jumped on it (it's still available if you're looking to snag this beauty at a great price!) Can't wait for it to arrive in the mail.
Strappy Back Halter Triangle Bikini
Blogger to Blame: Amanda
As if I needed another excuse to love Target, when Amanda posted about this bikini top I knew it needed to be added to my beach and pool collection.
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector
Blogger to Blame: Deborah
Deborah always looks fabulously flawless, so when she gives beauty product recs I usually run instead of walk to go get them. She introduced me to the Becca line when I was on the hunt for a new primer, and I also fell in love with this shimmering skin perfecter. Amazing highlighter which achieves a beautiful glow. 
Muji Acrylic Makeup Drawers
Blogger to Blame: Katie, but unfortunately she doesn't blog anymore. You can still keep up with her on twitter and instagram.
I knew I needed better makeup storage instead of a basket on my bathroom vanity that I was constantly sifting through. These drawers were not only super affordable, but I love how they display and fit so many of my favorite products.
Oasap Convertible Striped Maxi Dress
Blogger to Blame: Blair from Peaches in a Pod
As soon as I saw this dress on Blair, I knew I needed it to find it's way to my closet. Then I saw the price and it was a match made in heaven! Only $23 + free shipping win-win!
Express Barcelona Cami
Blogger to Blame: Gina
Gina always looks effortlessly flawless in her predominately Express wardrobe, and I loved the different Barcelona camis she's styled numerous different ways. My favorite part about this cami aside from the flattering fit is that it's reversible so it's essentially two shirts in one.
Rocksbox Subscription
Blogger to Blame: Kristina
A subscription box for pretty baubles? I couldn't sign up quickly enough, I always tell everyone who compliments my pieces that Rocksbox is "like Netflix for jewelry". 
Table Lamps for the master bedroom
Blogger to Blame: Katie
We both have these awesome lamps from Target on our bedside tables in our master bedrooms. Such a beautiful touch without breaking the bank.

What are some of your favorite purchases that you "blame" on other bloggers?

  5. Ha I LOVE this! I could have written a novel blaming bloggers for purchases ;) But they always end up being the best ones because they're from someone who really loves what they bought and is recommending that thing for a reason! I am all about a blogger-based purchase!

  20. Bloggers recommendations get us every time! But it's great to hear their feedback before we decide on what to get. Your maxi dress is awesome!!! Loving that cross body bag too. They might just need to make their way into our wardrobe, and we'll think about sharing ;)

  23. I get so many great products thanks to bloggers. That maxi dress is perfect on you. The Kate Spade bag is adorable! I got the Lash sensational mascara from Biana and Elle recommending and it is my go to now.

  24. Woo hoo!! I have to admit I am honored to be on your blame list!! But mainly because the Barcelona is such a great top that I can't feel bad at all for recommending it to people. I'm happy when they try it and prove me right! LOL.

  30. This is so very, very true, and such a great idea! I know bloggers have definitely influenced some of my purchases, but I can't remember all of them! I'll have to pay closer attention!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I am the same way. I see other bloggers have something and then I search for it, tell myself the reasons I HAVE to have it, buy it and don't regret it. I love reading about new products and clothes other bloggers find.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Love this post! Now I want all of these too! :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Haha this is such a fun post idea - people are always posting things and then I have to get them asap. I love my acrylic makeup drawers, I really don't know what I did before them!

    ReplyDelete
  34. What a great post!! And you're so right, one of the great things about blogging is finding out lots of fun new stuff and being able to ask the blogger about it directly… so glad you've come to love so many things!! I may need to post this as well :)
