Share Article

Since I’ve been blogging for nearly eight years now (hard to believe!), I’ve been honored to meet some really great fellow beauty and fashion bloggers.

Recently, I got in touch with some of my all-time favorites, and I asked them to send me some info that they’d be interested in sharing with FutureDerm readers about themselves and their blogs. Here are the top beauty blogs of 2015, as they responded (in alphabetical order, excluding articles like “A” and “The”):
