Ahhhahahaaahhaa! EXACTLY! Example off the top of my head for me was the MAC Pressed Pigments! She HATES those things! But I use the shit out of mine and think they are great! If I would've gone strictly by her reviews, I wouldn't have any of those!! YEP! It's best to know what you like and check out blogs for looks and swatches.. not reviews. In the cyber world now there's too much tainting of the "review system." I don't think there are a lot out there that can be trusted 100%. HENCE, my love for Specktra! I never feel that anyone is praising something they don't truly love here. Even if you disagree, you still know their review is honest for them personally! I agree with this. If you look through T's history, it seems she gave much better reviews of MAC before she drifted into the higher end lines. Once you go THERE... it really changes where you set the bar. It's like all I used in high school was drugstore makeup, and once I got my first MAC item I couldn't believe the difference. And now Nars blushes have made me pickier about MAC. And up the ladder you go.... T has grown in her skills and expectations, like we all do. It just makes sense. I never take makeup reviews personally. Afterall, we definitely aren't seeing the rewards from the sales of any brand! LOL Agreed! I understood what you were saying completely!
