Beautyholics Anonymous Turns 4 (And A Birthday Giveaway!)

THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!

Beautyholics Anonymous Turns 4 Logo

Beautyholics Anonymous celebrates its 4th birthday this month. It’s amazing to think that this little project of mine which started off so small 4 years ago have grown so much since then. I completely underestimated the joy blogging has brought me. I had the pleasure and honour of meeting some of you dear readers and fellow bloggers, and the thought of sharing the same passion with another (and not having to worry about how shallow I would sound when I’m gushing about a new lipstick I bought!) is simply amazing.

To celebrate this momentous occasion, I would like to give away the following items to one lucky reader. This time, the giveaway prizes aren’t going to be massive like the previous years, but they are more of the items that I personally like and would love one lucky reader to have too. Quality over quantity and all that πŸ™‚

All of these items are sponsored by yours truly.

This giveaway is open to all readers, local and international.

This time, you don’t have to jump through hoops to enter the giveaway. No need to post about it on your blog, subscribe to my blog, tweet about it, like me on Facebook (ahem, see what I did there? :P), although if you do any of the above, I will thank you a thousand times and eat cupcakes on your behalf.

Simply leave a comment below and you are set! (one comment per contestant please. Please keep it clean and do not add links to the comment, as it will go directly to my spambox anyway). Comment about anything; your favourite makeup, what you had for lunch, your favourite holiday destination, what you got for your birthday, pet peeves, anything!

The closing date for this giveaway is 18 June (Melbourne time, +10 GMT).

All comments will be closed, and results tabulated. A random winner will be picked, and will be announced on 20 June. I’ll try to send the gift out as soon as possible.

Feel free to spread the word. I’d really appreciate it.

Good luck to all!

  54. Fadhila

    Poppy King was my first lipstick, I bought it at Aherns (old Perth department store) when I was 14. Twelve years later, it’s still my favourite lipstick and have not found a colour that matches it. I saw Poppy King at Myer Sydney in 2009, promoting her new range, and I was so star struck, my friend had to push me into her to say hi. I was just so awe struck to meet the woman that made my lips look so beautiful!

    Anyways, happy 4 years!

    P.S I’m trialling Macadamia Oil for my hair, and it’s awesome because it comes in a pump. And Jessie J is the new IT girl, just listen to ‘Nobody’s Perfect’.

  55. Karmen

  62. Juraiza

    Oh happy birthday!

    I’ve wanted the coco rouge shine since the ads goes out but it’s pricey..so crossing fingers

  63. Mandy

    I had the most expensive plate of chicken rice in my life at Universal Studios Singapore today, for $10.50. Unfortunately, it tasted average. Thanks for the easy participation method!

  64. Poohkie

    Happy Blog B’day Tine! Keep up the good work. Yours was one of the first blogs that I read & I liked it so much that I read the whole blog within a few days. I wish you & your blog all the success in the future.

    btw, I posted about your giveaway in my sidebar with a pic & link. I used the 1st pic of the products. I hope that it’s okay. If you want me to remove it, let me know.

  65. Thurisaz Sala'il

    I’m so happy for you! Congrats on the blog turning 4! I’ve only recently started reading.

    Makeup was never a big deal for me until recently- I always thought it was just uncomfortable to wear. I started out with cheap things to try on colours and whatnot without spending too much, in case I didn’t like it… Turns out that I’m allergic to something in most cheap makeups I’ve tried, and that’s why it was so uncomfortable! Since delving into Shiseido and Lancome, I’m having fewer issues. Although, there is only ONE person I’ll probably buy eyeshadow from ever again- seriously, the stuff is better than MAC, and I never have eye problems (like itchyness and watering) from it. If you haven’t tried Shiro Cosmetics, by all means. One of my favourite shades of hers is Subrosia- a deep orangish red that deepens any red lipcolour I have, and it looks great when paired with browns and golds on the eyes. Mine stays on half the night without primer. Considering my oily skin, I’m surprised when anything makes it to an hour!

    Happy blogging~ <3

  66. Irene Diaz

    Happy Birthday and great giveaway!

  67. Abby85

    Hi! Happy birthday beautiholics anonymous!! My favourite makeup is lipstick. There’s just something so elegant about it n the act of applying lipstick..it just makes me feel so ‘womanly’ if there’s such a word. Hehe… Thanks for the fabulous giveaway!

  68. Vina

    Happy 4th birthday..Im a silent reader from Malaysia. I have been interested in make up since i was young, (when i used to mess up my moms make up kit)..:) I love to read about make up and skin care and your blog is one of the platform that i turn to πŸ™‚ Keep up the good work

  69. Lilian

    Congrats on turning 4. Definitely not an easy task….wishing you many years ahead …ahem….with the blog =)

  70. Jade

    HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY!!! I’m so glad to be back online so I can catch up on all your posts I’ve missed out on!!! πŸ˜€

  71. Vonvon

    Happy 4th Birthday to your blog!

    I am getting really interested in NARS, and I am curious what is the shade of Anna Sui 301? I have 350, and it’s a cool-toned sweet pink.

  72. iliana

    Happy Birthday!!!!

  73. victoria evans

    Happy 4th Birthday!! it’s blogs like yours that keep me sane in rural NZ. Hardly anywhere to shop for great makeup like NARS, Stila or other great brands, especially now that my city (Christchurch) is basically flattened! So I’d LOVE to win your prize and show off all the makeup to my cows, horses and chickens πŸ™‚ When I lived in OZ, I bought a lippie from Poppy King’s very first collection – she was huge in the 1990s. I think it was a colour called Vanity. I love the way she’s made a come-back so would really like to read her book and learn her secrets to gutsy success. Anyway, good luck to whoever wins and a request please….could you do a post on popular Asian brands, the sort you can find in drugstores in Hong Kong, Taiwan etc.

  74. Jess

    Hello Tine! Congrats on your 4th Blog Birthday! Meeting and getting to know new people with the same passion through our blogs is definitely just one of the best things!

    I feel a little bad to say this (because I have to keep up with my no-buy for the rest of the month), but I’m crazy about getting my hands on a veeeery expensive cream, which I got a sample of. I’m already counting the days until next month, haha…

    Keep up the great work, and thank you for the amazing giveaway, Tine!

  75. Amy Duncan

    this would be a great early birthday present for me. πŸ™‚

  76. Sheila

    Congrats on 4 years! Thank you for this awesome giveaway =)

    Hello! Happy 4th anniversary.

  111. Megan L

    CONGRATS! Thank you for the giveaway; I would love to win! I just ate strawberry shortcake πŸ™‚

  112. Christy

    I’ve been a follower of this blog for the past few years, well, guess it started when I was checking for some products review to see whether it is as good as it says on the label. Honestly, there are not really a lot of them lying around, especially from Malaysia, or maybe, I was just not into their style:p No flattery intended here, nor to gain votes for the contest, this is a separate topic altogether. (I don’t even remember participating in most of the contests either, as I think every time I looked at it, it’s already past the due date…unlucky or coincidence, I really don’t know)

    Anyway, really proud that we have such a lovely blogger amidst us Malaysian bloggers, along with Paris B..hehe, you girls can relate to us so much better, and yeah, it feels more close to home.
    You may be out of Malaysia now, but hey you can take one girl out of Malaysia but you can’t take the Malaysian out of the girl (the popular saying) and you really do know how’s it like to live in the tropics and believe me when I say that the weather is getting worse these days.
    So, (now my attempt to bid for the contest:), when you grow up in Malaysia and surviving the unpredictable and emotional weather, a girl definitely needs good make-up tools to endure the hot, humid and wet weather…where we all have the combination type of skin…sometimes we lose that shine when our skin is just dry, so that’s where the Coco Shine could probably come to rescue!
    We may not really need bronzing powder, as we definitely have more than enough sun, but hey, there’s all these madness about looking all polished and having that amazing glow that everyone was raving about on Eva Longoria or better, Halle Berry (though it beats the purpose when I thought Asians prefer fairer skin, but I do admit too…hehe, that those sun-kissed glow looked amazing, and using the cheat sheet of products instead of real damaging sun sounds more appealing;)

    Maybe due to the fact that most Asian girls still prefer the fairer skin, we end up losing the rosy cheeks and end up looking pale or even yellow (classic, due to the lack of sun exposure?) and seriously, some do look like vampires walking amidst us; trust me when I say I have seen one who looks so paper white that it freaked me out! I thought she had no blood and that she might faint any moment (or I might, if she showed me her fangs, LOL!) No offense, but really, we could do with some rosy cheeks…not too much though or we could end up looking like those Chinese paper dolls used for the offering for the dead:P

    I don’t know about you, but I did notice that not a lot of Asian girls do take care of their brows (actually, that probably included meself), and I used to remember this cliche from Anna Paquin from She’s All That as she spoke to Rachael Leigh Cook…”When was the last time you tweezed? Did you watch Sesame Street? You know Bernie?” LOL, I know the importance of brow care..but it is a rather delicate procedure if you ask me, and tools, yeah, how many of us use a Brow Definition pencil anyway?
    Oh, I am an avid writer and reader, and I could so totally scream in excitement at the next two items…as I am familiar with them; yeay, books and hand therapy from C&E!! What’s the relationship?
    I love to read (Malaysians just don’t read enough and I am not part of the statistics, mind you!), and at the same time, I love all these beauty, fashion and girly stuffs…and don’t you ever wish you have more than enough dough to spend on a shopping spree…so, Poppy King becoming a millionaire from her search for a lipstick, oh my, it’s like a fantastic dream come true for us girls (shopaholics, beautyholics alike!) Now, don’t tell me you don’t wish to be like here?

    While I write and write each day; updating my blogs, and staying in a/c room (you know why we need them) and with the ever-changing weather, I do seriously need hand rescue treatment and C&E, is one of my fave brands (I won them once from an annual dinner..a whole set of C&E products, not hinting anything:P )
    I’ve tried Gardener’s range, this exact same treatment..and it’s quite good! Not that my hands have reached the stage where they resemble that of a gardener’s, thank God for that!

    Alright, I have probably written a really long comment…but I am not fishing for victory..it is after all, by random selection right? It’s based on luck…hmmm, I wonder…I never did have much luck with contests…LOL:p
    Hope you didn’t regard this as spam…hehe, I did mention I LOVE to write, right?

    Oh ya, congrats on turning 4, I can’t believe it’s been this long:) Thank you so much for all the lovely reviews and posts (this part has nothing related to the contest anymore and is a personal congratulatory statement), I don’t think I can be as good at beauty stuffs as you are (it’s sincere!)
    Keep it up! Happy Birthday….and thanks, again!:D

    Cheers,
    Christy

    I am a newbie in makeup… although i have a huge stash of skincare products hehe~
    I have a soft spot for skincare stuffs!!!!!

    but recently, i found that how much make up can ‘level up’ my appearance!
    I had been naive to think that make up is only for special occasions and is somewhat comparatively useless skincare! And reason that i ‘realized’ this?

    I bought a mascara.

    A common drugstore brand but wow! I did not expect i would look so much a difference with just mascara!!! The tired looking eyes really just disappear! ( I have in folding eyelids, and the fold is deep, hence with my small asian eyes, I have not tried any eye makeup before, thinking it wouldn’t work like what i get to see in blogs, advertisments and tv.)
    Well, I cant describe the happiness and excitement I was feeling at that moment! I wanna shout and jump!

    and I should really eat my own shoe for saying I would never pick up makeup!
    How dumb I was!

    Natural beauty is one thing, but to be able to look more beautiful!
    Thats every women’s dream! =)

    ps: the only bad thing for me to start digging into makeup is perhaps… abusing my poor purse! XD

    Happy 4th birthday Tine πŸ™‚
    I’ve been an avid reader ever since you started blogging back in Penang (after your work stint in Japan) & it has been a wonderful journey watching your blog grow πŸ˜‰
    Like your husband, I work in healthcare & hardly have time to follow all the blogs I used to (much less shop around for makeup!) so winning this giveaway would be a real treat indeed πŸ™‚
    My favourite holiday destination?Any island paradise which will allow me to kick back my shoes & relax! The last one I went to was Mataking island off Sempoerna in Sabah – truly the perfect getaway! πŸ˜€

    Happy blog birthday!

    I can’t wait for the work week to be over. I’m going to Orcas Island with my bf and our little dog Kobe. I’m so excited for the trip that I started packing on Monday. How far in advance do you plan what you want to bring on a trip? What will be the one thing you have to take on your trip?

    Congratulations on 4 years of successful blogging! I only recently found your blog and wondered how I could have missed it all this time. Thank you for this wonderful giveaway πŸ™‚

    Happy 4th and mahalo!

  126. Fiona

    Happy anniversary! I love how you’re giving away the Lipstick Queen book as well, instead of all cosmetics like regular giveaways.

  127. Lisa

    Happy Birthday! 4 years do not come easy. It sure took one with lots of determination and preserverance to get through it. Good job! And thank you for the many reads.
    Cheers to many more 4s to come.

    I want the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine!

    I just started my makeup collection after I had my first baby. It is weird coz after I had her, it’s like I got a spell from the beauty fairy! I realized that paying attention to what you wear and how you look actually means taking good care of yourself and it is a great way to boost confident and it actually makes me happy. A way for me to lower down daily stress! Now I frequent beauty blogs and beauty counters and I am one happy hot momma! :p yeah right!

  129. mrsdjones

    Btw, I came from MWS and a fan of ParisB reviews and writing! πŸ˜‰

  130. jacss

    hi, it’s my first time here …. was hopping from ParisB, like you she’s also an inspiration to me πŸ˜€ I will be hopping to more beauty sites (yours including definitely) coz they are simply awesome. Keep up the good works!!
    That was a lot of goodies i would say….it’s very generous of you!
    Happy 4th birthday !!

    Hello there,
    I’m a newbie here in your blog, started reading it from last month I guess, and yeah, like everyone else here, I just love the blog and the worst thing is, your one’s so addictive and I sat reading yours continuously, when my 4th year final exams were just a week away (and I’m studying Medicine! I know, this is bad!)

    Congratulations on your success, and a very Happy birthday to your blog!
    Since this giveaway is open to international readers, I’m keeping all my fingers crossed, and my toes too! πŸ˜€

    Love,
    Maddy

  142. Tina

    Happy 4th birthday – your blog is amazing.

    I am currently on a no carb diet, to loose weight that I plan to put back on when I visit Malaysia & Taiwan to pig out. Some may say it’s weird, but I think it’s smart πŸ™‚

  143. Ling

    Happy blog birthday!! You’re my blogging guru. Great giveaway btw xxx

  144. mint

    Happy Birthday to your blog! wow 4 years! that’s really good dedication =)

    Thanks for sharing with us on your blog, sometimes with so much things happening in life I loose the motivation to blog like i have now. so I think it’s really admirable for you to have continued for so long. I love reading your posts, although usually on my iphone on the bus and can’t leave much comments. But wanted to let you know your posts have been very helpful.

  145. Nadia

    Happy blog birthday, Tine! You know I love your blog and you’re such an inspiration to me! πŸ™‚

    Great, great giveaway as usual, sweetie! πŸ™‚

  146. Dini

    Happy Birthday! I love the look of your blog – so clean and reader friendly.

  147. Eunice

    Happy 4th birthday!!! Being an asian in Australia, I admit I like Taiwan/Japan/Korea products more as I think they are more suited for our skin but they are not easily available here. I just came back from Singapore and still love the range at Watsons, always so tempting..

  148. Jasmine1485

    Congratulations on 4 years and happy birthday! πŸ™‚

    For lunch? I had some leftover slow cooked beef casserole, it was delicious! As nice the next day (if not a little nicer) as it was last night. I only got the slow cooker recently but I’m looking forward to a winter full of hearty meals.

    Happy Blog Birthday *throws confetti in the air*

    I have been a happy stalker of yours (and countless other blogs) for over two years now before I decided to join the community, thanks to all your lovely reviews which led to lemmings and before I knew it *kaching* goes the till registers and I have a room full of beauty products =p What else to do but to document how much dough I’ve burned through all these lovely purchases? =)

    Congrats on turning 4! One post led to another and now you’re practically a veteran! πŸ™‚ I didn’t use to wear makeup in my early 20s but now I’m practically oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over makeup and I’m proud to say I’m pretty good at it πŸ™‚ Still, I would love to go and do a basic course so that I can learn up a tip or two πŸ˜‰

    Again congrats on turning 4 and keep on writing!
