About

Welcome, dear readers!

I’m Tine, and I’m the editor of Beautyholics Anonymous.

I enjoy writing about beauty products (I enjoy reviewing them, so bring ‘em on!), makeup, skincare, health, fashion … well, anything related to the double-x chromosome. I do not work in the beauty and fashion industry; it’s just a great interest of mine.

I’m vain, I’m narcissistic, I’m addicted to buying (and hoarding) beauty products and and I love shopping. Oh how I adore shopping.

Ladies, I’m a beautyholic.

Well, there isn’t such a word, but I reckon that’s what I am. I love trying out new products (if I can afford them). I’m crazy about skincare. I love makeup.

I think this could be a great place for all beauty bloggers, beautyholics and shopaholics (you know who you are!) to exchange valuable tips. You never know what you can learn from one another. I sure learned a lot from all the beauty blogs and websites I frequent. And believe me, my daily beauty blog reads are over 200!

Just a bit about me – I hail from Malaysia, but moved to Melbourne, Australia over a year ago after I got married. It’s a new chapter in my life which I embrace with a bit of apprehension and lots of excitement. Anyway, having said that, the products I review will either be from Malaysia or Australia (unless specified to be from another country).

My blog focuses on Asian women, which I think is a good thing as, more often than not, a lot of Asian women find that they can’t seem to find beauty products suitable for their olive skin. There are so many out there, just waiting to be discovered.

All the reviews which I write here are based on my own experience with the products, based on my skin type (combination skin). I’m pretty blunt with my reviews; if I like the product, you’d read about my gushing about it. If I do not like it, I shall not mince my words. As much as I can, if I’m paid to do a review, I will disclose the fact. Most of the products which I reviewed are self-purchased or gifts. However, I do receive products from PR companies meant for review purposes, which will also be disclosed.

I hope to write more on fashion too; fashion which suits real women. My blog’s motto? Beauty comes in all sizes, not just a size 2. So no tiny pieces here, ladies. Let’s be proud of our bums!
