Bloggiversary 2019 Giveaway!...

Hey lovelies - break out the candles and cake 'cos my blog is 6 years old this month, and I'm hoping you'll help me mark the occasion by entering my Bloggiversary giveaway! I remember when I launched my little blip in the blogosphere in 2013, I had serious doubts as to whether I could devote the time to upload at least one post per week, let alone would anyone be interested in anything I had to say. Even back then the internet was flooded with a gazillion bloggers all battling for their niche in the ether - the competition was fierce, and success was primarily measured by how many followers you had. But my philosophy has always been pretty simple - write honestly whether the subject fires your passion or not, and if you're blessed with good fortune, share it whenever possible ...


So I've put together a bundle of some of the things I love for all the friends and followers that are still dropping by for a quick read after all this time - a mixture of makeup, skincare, jewellery and fragrance, so here we go! ...
  • Australis Eye Spy Smokey Eyeshadow Palette
  • Beechworth Honey Mountain Honey & Lavender Hand & Body Lotion
  • Chi Chi The Immaculate Ombre Blush Collection (no box)
  • Chi Chi Pride Rainbow Palette (I must be crazy to give this away!)
  • DB Cosmetics Pore Minimising Primer
  • Eaoron Makeup Remover Balm (review HERE)
  • Ishka Silver Metal & Suede Tribal Ankh Necklace
  • 2 x Nutrimetics Hydra Brilliance Lipsticks - Russet & Amber
  • Nutrimetics Loofah Shower Gel with Apricot Extract & Sweet Almond Oil
  • Nutrimetics Mineral Clay Masque with Apricot Extract & Soybean Oil (review HERE)
  • Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely Eau De Parfum - 30m) (review HERE)
  • Skin Physics Advance Superlift Caviar Age-Recovery Hand & Nail Renewal Cream
All items are brand new, were purchased by me and the total prize value is $330! And because of the weight of all these goodies, this giveaway is open to...
Australian Residents Only! 
And because it's a big one, I'll extend it for 2 weeks - entries close midnight Monday 30th September 2019 ...

      Hi Kats! Congratulations on your 6th birthday, I’ve really enjoyed reading your blogs this past few years. Once again I’m having trouble leaving a comment to enter the competition so here is my answer....

      My favourite blog post is actually the ‘empties’. I love seeing what you’ve used, and the mini reviews on each product. These posts have more influence on me than actual reviews.
      Congratulations again, Anne

    2. 6 years! Wow! Had no idea it has been so long! Just started following you a year or so back when discovered at Beautyheaven. Congratulations Kats!

      I am addicted to the "empties" posts, as love seeing what people actually use and love. Like this easier to discover some interesting products I would never see or consider purchasing. Guess what, I was shocked to discover that Retinal line from Neutrogena is fab! I saw you used their cream, I wanted something "stronger" to fry my face...hahaha...Like ....whaaaaaat?! Oil and cream. They work! =0

    5. Happy Anniversary Kats! :) I love the spotlight post and review! Makes my life easier to be able to see the colour swatch before getting the product and of course the review. Always good to see honest review from you tried and tested. :) - Cindy

      Happy 6th Anniversary Kats and congratulations! My favourite blogs are your skin care posts and your empties. Funny how we all seem to like to see what products people actually use and finish. I’ve always loved trying new skin care and I know I can trust your blog for an honest opinion.

      Congratulations on your 6th bloggiversary an amazing achievement and no doubt it’s to do with your honest and very relatable reviews. I love the pictures you share and I feel that I can really believe in your reviews and the way you write is like were chatting over a cup of coffee!
      The blog articles that interest me most are about mind, body and spirit – it all goes together and as we age we realise how important all three are together to get us through life!

    9. Congrats on six fantastic years, amazing!

      I love the 'series' kind of posts (eg, comparing the millions of micellar waters, body washes etc). You being the 'guinea pig' has saved me so much money over the years! :D

    13. Wow congratulations Kats, 6 years of being a beautiful blogger. I don't follow too many but of course you will always be up there. I remember when you first did a video on BH, it may of been for the Nivea competition and it was a standout, although I don't think you won but I remember a few of us urged you to become a blogger. Took a while, but you took that step and here you are 6 years now still blogging away.

      My favourites blogs are the eyeshadows due to I have green eyes and I can see what would suit me and what won't.

      Keep up the great work that you do kats.

      Whether the product is skincare, makeup, perfume, events ... they are always honest, informative, entertaining and accompanied by lovely photos.

      I trust your reviews and have been swayed to buy quite a few of your recommendations and no regrets!

    16. Happy bloggiversary Kats! I love all your posts, while I may not have time to comment much, rest assured that I read them whenever they pop up in my email inbox! Like others have said, your product reviews are detailed and honest, sometimes when I'm curious about certain products, I often find myself doing a search on your blog as part of my pre-purchase research :) And of course, as a projectpanner, I love your empties posts. Hope there are many more bloggiversaries to come!!
