Bloggie Wednesdays: Beautyholics Anonymous Reader Survey 2013 Results. The Readers (That’s You) Have Spoken!

Beautyholics Anonymous Reader Survey 2013

Happy hump day, fellow beautyholics!

First of all, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time out to fill in the Reader Survey I posted a couple of weeks ago. I’ve had very good response and feedback from you and I can’t be happier. I’m definitely taking all of your feedback (positive and negative) into consideration when I’m planning my future editorial content.

Since you’ve helped me out with the survey, I thought I’d show you the results I got to see how the blog fared. I tell ya, it’s great excuse for me to whip out the ol’ Excel and nerd out on pie charts because I sure haven’t done those in a while. ๐Ÿ˜›

A Holy Grail-Worthy Makeup Saver that is Hourglass’ Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15

Last month, I got bitten by the shopping bug and went a tad overboard at Mecca Cosmetica :P. I can’t remember what got into me that day. I guess I just needed a bit of retail therapy and I found it at Mecca. It’s a monthly pilgrimage to my version of Mecca. Hee hee!

Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15

Anyway, one of the items I bought was Hourglass’ Veil Mineral Primer. I have a couple of lipsticks from Hourglass and they’re beautiful. I’ve been meaning to try out more products from Hourglass as I’ve read very positive reviews of the brand. The Veil Mineral Primer comes highly recommended by a slew of beauty bloggers, editors and YouTubers so quite naturally, it’s something I too have to give a go.

The Veil Mineral Primer comes in 2 sizes, 10ml and 30ml. I only bought the 10ml to try because I didn’t want to splurge on an items that may or may not work for me. Plus, if it does work well, it’s a great travel-sized item to have in my makeup bag.

All Systems … Down

Happy Monday fellow beautyholics! Hope you’ve had a great weekend.

As you can tell from the title, me, not so much. Yep, I caught the husband’s man flu and it’s all systems down. Here’s the thing, I really thought I’d be strong enough this time not to get it from him because throughout his “pain” (in quotes because really, I think he’s making it worse than it actually really is. I know, I’m a terrible wife for the lack of sympathy), I didn’t feel like I was going to fall sick. Heck, I even wedged a pillow wall between us in bed to avoid him breathing his germs on me! ๐Ÿ˜›

Pillow Wall

Tim’s snoring on the other side of the “wall”

Okay, so that didn’t work and now, I’m the whinger of all things painful (I’m even worse than him when it comes to whinging about the flu/cold). It’s Codral, paracetemol, Berocca, honey, water and rest for me until I fully fight this off. I actually have a post scheduled for today but I’ll save it for tomorrow because I’m chucking a sickie today. *cough* (that’s a real cough, in case you wondered if I was bluffing. *fingers crossed behind my back*)

All Systems Down

We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled program tomorrow of all things beauty but for today, tell me. Are you a whinger like me too when you’re sick? As in “oh-woe-is-me-the-sky-is-falling-down-damn-this-flu-I’m-sick-Iwannadieeeeeee“? ๐Ÿ˜›
