Why Bloom Exists
Honest Beauty in a World of Hype
Most beauty content is created to sell you something. Bloom is created to help you decide if you should buy it in the first place.
I buy the majority of what I review. I test everything for a minimum of two weeks. I disclose every affiliate link and sponsored post. And if a product doesn’t work, I say so — even if the brand sent it to me for free.
“My job isn’t to sell you products. It’s to save you from the wrong ones.”

Finally a beauty blog that doesn’t feel like one long ad. The drugstore dupes series alone is worth subscribing for.

I’ve rebuilt my entire skincare routine based on Sarah’s recommendations. My dermatologist actually noticed the improvement.
