The influence of bloggers to the marketing for cosmetics in China

The blog has developed for several years in China. Previously, blog is just like a diary notebook, a digital platform for writing down what we look, what we hear, what we think and what we like; and we can also put in music, pictures and videos. Some blogs private and secret only can be seen personally; and there are also some blogs which are open to the public. We can read, comment and share. Gradually, it appears some good blogs whose content or form attires a lot of readers; they become the fans of the bloggers, and make it a habit to read the blog.

As we know, the people who are the most active on Internet are the young girls. And what they are interested most are the food and the cosmetics. No surprisingly, the blogs of these two fields are the most popular to Chinese girls, especially the blogs of cosmetics.
