A Kawaii Christmas Giveaway!

THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED. THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING!

A Kawaii Christmas Giveaway!

It’s just two weeks before we say goodbye to 2012. Oh what a year it has been!

To say goodbye to the end of a good year and to celebrate the new year, Beautyholics Anonymous is proud to host a giveaway sponsored by yours truly. Shopping in Japan was fun, and even more so when buying gifts for this giveaway. Each item had been carefully selected for its quality (read: swatched and reswatched to make sure it looks damn good) and kawaii-ness. And really, you can’t beat the Japanese when it comes to lovely makeup and gorgeous packaging. ๐Ÿ™‚

One lucky winner will be able to win the prize below. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, none of these items were purchased at Daiso nor any cheapie stores. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Hi Tine! I have so many “bests” this year, and I can only narrow them down to 2 things – The best thing that happened to me in my personal life this year was that I bought a house! We’ve been trying to save for about 4 years, so it felt like a HUGE achievement.

    The best thing professionally that happened to me in 2012, was successfully hosting a national blogging conference – during the lead-up, it felt like it might not happen, so when it all came together, it felt pretty amazing! xx

  14. Lizzi

    Hey Tine!
    Well, 2012 saw me become a professional makeup artist, move into my home I’d been building for 2 years AND fly to Sydney to attend a national blogging conference where I met some of my Blogging idols AND shop up a storm at IMATS.
    I think the house might be the best of the lot but they were all amazing.

    Thank you for the giveaway. The best thing that happened to me in 2012 is seeing my 3 year old son enjoy going to preschool.

    Getting my son to preschool the first time early this year was a nightmare for everyone at home. He was so clingy. Sigh of relief, he’s enjoying his everyday to the preschool and making more friends now.

  23. Aileen Lau

    The best thing that’s happened to me in 2012 is having a dog!! They’re the most loving and affectionate creatures and they will love you unconditionally

  24. MaeMaeCC

    This year, I got my first job and started taking care of myself again. Im a young mom who went through changes in the different aspects of my life, including my physical appearance. After getting the job, I realized that if I want to feel confident again and be able to fully present myself in a way that I will be proud of, then I should start loving my body again. Im still a work in progress, but Im on my way. ๐Ÿ™‚

  25. Michelle

    Just one thing?? That’s difficult, my year’s been pretty amazing! I guess it would be starting competing in pole, including failing miserably in one, doing well in the next, massive disappointment in the one after that with lots of crying, and then winning the latest one. I’ve learnt so much on the way. Also hitting my blogging stride, and finishing all my lab work for my PhD pretty much today! ๐Ÿ™‚

    The best thing of the year was visiting Europe for the first time! Adored it and can’t wait to go again.

  27. Victoria

    โ€œWhatโ€™s the best thing that happened to you in 2012?โ€

    Wow. That’s really hard. There have been a lot of great, eventful things that have happened, but I think I’ll have to give credit to the small things that I realised in 2012. The little things matter, and I don’t think we give them enough credence. So, for me, the best thing this year was realising that I DO have willpower and determination. I’ve always thought that I was the sort of person who just floats around, but I’m not – I can improve my life with better choices.

    What about you? What’s the best thing that happened to you in 2012?

  28. Ren

    The Best thing that happened to me?

    Accepting that I do not have to please everyone and make everyone like me, that I should focus those whom I loved and who love me. In theory we know that, but in practise…well..it’s a different thing.
    After that it’s a great weight off my mind and shoulders.

    MERRY XMAS!

  29. Gg

    The best thing this year is that I got through year4 medical school with flying colours! It was really an awesome moment because I had worked very hard for it! I hope I am able to maintain this and graduate with similar result next year!

  30. Phoebe

    The best thing that has happened to me is that I got into a doctorate program and that I have made a good friend at work!! ๐Ÿ˜€

  31. Grace-melody Moo

    Too many “best things” that happened… can’t decide which but oh well, here goes…

    One of the best things that happened to me in 2012: overcoming my phobia of a certain lecturer at Bible school. He’s quite a serious guy (or rather he puts on this serious look most of the time) and sometimes I felt that he’d judge me for being me. I used to avoid him with a passion ~~ until I had a whole term whereby I couldn’t avoid taking his classes. Found out that he’s very nice after all. It was a big deal for me to have gotten over my fear of him – now I can say hi to him when I bump into him, rather than run away or doing something klutzy out of nerves! ๐Ÿ˜›

  32. Van

    The best thing that has ever happened to me this year is that I got to spend more time with my family, meaning I got to spend my money for my family and get to go places with them (traveling, etc).

  33. gelyn

    The best thing that happened to me this year was being able to be with my daughter in her 7th birthday. I am working overseas and I don’t always go home in her birthday. And I saved a fair amount of money to give to my parents as a token of gratitude for taking good care of my baby. My parents used it for a much needed house renovation. I feel so happy and blessed! ๐Ÿ™‚
