THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!
Of course I would buy macarons just to celebrate. Why wouldn’t I? π
Beautyholics Anonymous celebrates its 5th birthday this month. Hello wood anniversary!
The last year has been an amazing journey. The opportunities I’ve been given and the friends I’ve made make all the hard work and lack of sleep completely worth it. When I think about how it all started, how I started blogging as a distraction from what my life was back then and fast forward many years later to what I am now, all I can say is that I’m blessed. Incredibly blessed.
I wouldn’t have been able to do it all if it weren’t for you, dear readers. You are the reason I want to write better. You are the reason I want to take better pictures. You are the reason I spend hours on the computer trying to get everything just right on the blog. You heard my tiny voice on the vast Internet. Your words of encouragement lifted me from my blogging ditch.
For all this I thank you from the bottom of my heart. π

Congrats, Happy 5th Birthday!
Success will never be sweet unless you enjoyed yourself along the journey. More to come yea! You definitely need to celebrate it with other fellow bloggies….
Well, what would I like to see more on Beautyholics Anonymous, hmm, personally I wish to see more beauty or skincare techniques as in the proper way to clean my face, proper way to apply face cream, any easy or simple massage moves for lifting effect, etc.
I find that it’s easy to get yourself a good product, but you still need to have a proper way of using/applying it to complement it to achieve the best result. As for me, sometimes I just “smear” it all over my face without following the so-called upward/outward movement.
p/s: Does a proper technique really affect alot?
Avid reader,
Sharon
i really enjoy your blogging tips and list of lust π
Cheers to the BIG FIVE!

Congrats on your fifth birthday!
I’m a big fan of the Bloggie Wednesdays, your posts have helped me a lot. I also love your Lists of Lusts (I shared the last one with my husband, we both work from home and need office space). It would be nice to see more FOTD and, as someone said before, tips and techniques for product application.
PS: I follow you through RSS and email (different email addresses, just one Argentinian lurker).

I’ve been silently reading your stuff through my email sense. KEKEKE
You’ve pretty much covered all bases, so just keep up the great job please!
Also, if you can, can you maybe do a make-up look tutorial video every now and then? (:
Congrats in your 5th year anniversary π
I really enjoy your list of lusts, and is any of your posts because it contains a little bit of everything π what i’d like to see more is just more blog posts, because i enjoy everything. maybe more Australian products would be lovely ^^
Hi, I’ve subscribed via email!
I love your reviews and the FOTD – always so pretty! I’m just beginning to wear makeup, so I’d love to see:
How to build a starter kit – which products are essentials, which are fads, which are for advanced users only!
more application techniques
Dupes – I always seem to end up buying several products in basically the same colour. How can I avoid this? What drugstore products can stand in for the high-end ones?
Thanks, and happy anniversary!
happy blog birthday!
subscribed to your rss feed. i love your bloggie wednesdays!
i’d love to see more FOTDs. i’m always interested in what makeup people wear everyday, even if it’s a simple look.

Hi Tine, congrats on reaching 5 yrs of blogging! Huge milestone! You must be so excited :-).
I’ve been a long time subscriber via email (let me know if you need my email address for verification) and would love to enter.
As for seeing more on your blog, I absolutely love your bloggie wednesdays and also simple tutorials on “stuff” (for lack of a better word!). E.g. you did a mini tutorial on your nail care routine, that kind of stuff as it’s always good to see how other people do basic things that we all take for granted.
