Today I have a tag for you with a difference; one solely to be answered by blog readers in the comments! This idea came to me when thinking of ways to get feedback on my own blog but also because I'm nosy about other people's blog reading habits!
Plus if you're also a blogger I thought you could use these questions on your own blog (using my image above if you wish) for your own blog readers to answer.
I'd more than love if you could copy and paste the below questions into the comment box and answer them!
1.What are your favourite type of blog posts to read on my blog?
2. What epitomises a good beauty blog to you?
3. How often do you read blogs in general and at what time of day?
4. How do you keep up with new posts from the blogs you love (Bloglovin', email updates, GFC, tweets from the blogger)?
5. What is your blogger pet peeve?
6. What would you love to see more of on my blog?
7. Name a few of your favourite blogs
If you answer the questions then thank you so much in advance - it will be of huge help!
Fee xo.

Here are my answers:
1.What are your favourite type of blog posts to read on my blog?
My favourites will always be reviews, but I love your budget under £3 posts, especially now I'm saving hard and doing my best not to buy any make up! It satisfies my beauty blogger tendencies without splashing too much cash.
2. What epitomises a good beauty blog to you?
Swatches! Oh my gosh, I can't believe how many blogs don't swatch these days. Also I love seeing what products look like on another blogger, it drives me potty reading mascara reviews and not actually seeing it in action.
3. How often do you read blogs in general and at what time of day?
Usually on my commute, although I sneak in some reading during my lunch break too.
4. How do you keep up with new posts from the blogs you love (Bloglovin', email updates, GFC, tweets from the blogger)?
Bloglovin mainly!
5. What is your blogger pet peeve?
No swatches as mentioned above! Also really gushing sponsored posts, I value honesty more than anything else.
6. What would you love to see more of on my blog?
I enjoy it as it is, in all honesty!
7. Name a few of your favourite blogs
I have too many to count, but I did a small post on some of my recent faves here! http://polkadani.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/sharing-b...

- I always love beauty and makeup posts on your blog, but then I also like stuff like this or when you do blogging tips. I always love learning new skills.
2. What epitomises a good beauty blog to you?
- I like beauty blogs that mix it up and have a wide range of content and subject matter, Sometimes I'm in the mood for hauls, sometimes I'm in the mood for a good tutorial. I like a blog that does everything.
3. How often do you read blogs in general and at what time of day?
- Oh God, like 12 hours a day lol. Usually in the mornings, lunch and in the later evenings. I am obsessed!
4. How do you keep up with new posts from the blogs you love (Bloglovin', email updates, GFC, tweets from the blogger)?
- Mostly email updates and BlogLovin.
5. What is your blogger pet peeve?
- The time it takes to share and put your content out there is tedious and sometimes overwhelming. Absolutely worth it, but a bit of a pet peeve of mine. I don't have enough hours in the day most days.
6. What would you love to see more of on my blog?
- Just keep doing what your doing :D

Noemi · 560 weeks ago
The posts about organic products.
2. What epitomises a good beauty blog to you?
Honesty, I really dislike when it's obvious that a blogger says wonders about a product because she's been payed.
3. How often do you read blogs in general and at what time of day?
Late in the afternoon and in the evening. As an insomniac, at night, too, the internet connection is faster!
4. How do you keep up with new posts from the blogs you love (Bloglovin', email updates, GFC, tweets from the blogger)?
Bloglovin'
5. What is your blogger pet peeve?
Mhmm, I would say that sometimes many bloggers post about the same product without writing a personal opinion, it's clear that they just did copy and paste from a press release.
6. What would you love to see more of on my blog?
More attention to the inci of products.
7. Name a few of your favourite blogs
I follow Lily Pebbles, Into The Gloss, Fleur de Force, The Beauty Look Book but lately I prefer blogs about organic products and brands.
Mateja · 560 weeks ago
2. Quality reviews with great pictures, so not just a few sentences about the product and one picture, but swatches, details about the item and a picture of how the makeup actually looks on a person.
3. Everyday and at any time.
4. Bloglovin' is my favourite, but also on GFC, Facebook and Pinterest.
5. Generic reviews with one picture of a product. I'd pick up a magazine if I wanted to see that.
6. I think you're doing a great job at the moment. Perhaps if you could do your current hair care recommendations.

Faye · 560 weeks ago
2. Interesting content, informed reviews
3. Normally on my lunch at work and after dinner, about 8pm
4. I use INO Reader, I just don't get how people can use bloglovin' to read blogs cos you have to open them all individually and I like them to just be there to read in a list. Maybe I'm just using bloglovin' wrong but I've tried to change the settings and no joy!
5. Tons of photos of the same thing at slightly different angles, post after post of sponsored content/freebies
6. The quirky lists as mentioned above.
7. My favourite beauty blogs are daniellascribbles, A Model Recommends, Caroline Hirons, Bean's Beauty Blog, GemsMaquillage, Sandra Holmbolm and The Beauty Dept.
Love this tag - what a great idea on how to get feedback that's still fun for your readers :)

all the post's - I like the variety you post
2. What epitomises a good beauty blog to you?

everyday! depend's on what I'm doing and how much time I have
4. How do you keep up with new posts from the blogs you love (Bloglovin', email updates, GFC, tweets from the blogger)?
Bloglovin, YouTube, email updates, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook usually
5. What is your blogger pet peeve?
A blog that moderates comment's and has to wait for being approved. I genuinely won't go back to that blog if my comment isn't approved quickly. I hardly ever comment on that blog a second time and blog's that have crazy colour's and font's that clash with background's, keep it simple.
6. What would you love to see more of on my blog?
Keep doing what your doing. Like I said I like the variety, it's not just beauty which I like but also homey thing's and wishlist's etc.
7. Name a few of your favourite blogs

I'd love it if you completed answer's on my post too.
Suze · 560 weeks ago
Obviously this is a beauty blog but my very fave posts feature non-beauty stuff (home decor, foodie picks and recipes, film recommendations, blogging tips etc), which compliment the beauty posts well and make your blog nicely rounded. Absolutely loved your Friday Favourites series and looked forward to it every week (have you stopped doing those now?) Also love all the budget buys as unfortunately many of the big beauty bloggers feature a lot of expensive brands which are way out of my budget these days. I love it that lots of the items you feature can easily be picked up cheaply in supermarkets or on the high street. Also really like it that you feature SLS-free beauty products and make 'a thing' of it.
2. What epitomises a good beauty blog to you?
A varied mix of different types of products with various budgets, featured in an interesting and creative way with aspirational design and photography. Original content is very important as so many beauty bloggers post far too many sponsored posts which often lack imagination and harm the bloggers credibility. I don't want to see the same thing all over my Bloglovin feed so I'm not fussed about seeing products featured the second they launch (or before) - I'm more bothered about seeing something a bit different and more original and something the blogger is genuinely excited about (either an unusual/quirky product or a well known product presented in a thoughtful and interesting way). Honest, informative reviews with good quality photos, swatches and descriptions including tips about dupes and comparisons with other products. Application tips/tricks and step-by-step tutorials can be useful but I don't tend to watch that many videos so I prefer written posts with pics. I also think it'd be nice to see more mainstream beauty bloggers paying more attention to product ingredients and highlighting the benefits of more natural, organic and SLS-free products etc.
3. How often do you read blogs in general and at what time of day?
I read blogs almost everyday and at various times, with no set pattern as such but on weekdays probably in the evenings mostly and in the mornings at weekends.
4. How do you keep up with new posts from the blogs you love (Bloglovin', email updates, GFC, tweets from the blogger)?
Just Bloglovin
5. What is your blogger pet peeve?
Bloggers who do too many sponsored posts - often the same people who seem to be ALWAYS posting giveaways/competitions, tags, blog sales etc instead of original content....every now and again is fine (YOU don't do too many tags!) but if too often then it gets very boring and is a huge turn-off. Blogs looking very samey with loads of bloggers featuring the same products around the same time and also often photos being styled in the same way with the same kind of props, basically bloggers jumping on the bandwagon and imitating other bloggers - I want to see originality! Bloggers who never respond to readers comments - I appreciate that bloggers are busy but it's nice to see some interaction which shows that readers are listened to and valued.
6. What would you love to see more of on my blog?
Friday Faves! As a big fan of your blog I'd say the mix is already great but a few more non-beauty-related posts would be fab. You have a great style so it's really nice to see that filter through into the lifestyle side of things and this adds to the uniqueness of your blog.
7. Name a few of your favourite blogs
Forever Amber, milk bubble tea, Miss Budget Beauty, A Rosie Outlook, Swoon Worthy

I've actually fallen off doing my Friday Favourites as I seem to have too much I want to blog about and not enough days! However I will try to bring it back in November/December as I know I will have a tons of festive favs come Christmas time.
Now off to check out Swoon Worth and Forever Amber!
Thanks again :)

Nail polish ones.
2. What epitomises a good beauty blog to you?
Good photography; mix of content; honest reviews; relevant content.
3. How often do you read blogs in general and at what time of day?
Daily. Any time of day ... I am self-employed so can do what I want during the day ;)
4. How do you keep up with new posts from the blogs you love (Bloglovin', email updates, GFC, tweets from the blogger)?
I follow about 700 blogs, and check all posts through the blog reader Feedly. That way I don't miss any.
5. What is your blogger pet peeve?
When a blogger reviews something that isn't relevant to their content, but they obviously just wanted the freebie. Or a blogger who only seems to post for one or two brands and all posts are about those brands only, because the products are provided for free. Also, when a blogger posts a press release verbatim - they don't seem to understand that you're supposed to make your own post from it, rather than lazily copying and pasting.
6. What would you love to see more of on my blog?
More nail polish. But I'm a bit biased because I'm not into beauty in general, just nail polish.
7. Name a few of your favourite blogs

I like your variety of posts already :)
