The nice thing about Meet-And-Greet events is I get to verify at least to myself that I still have my people skills. LOL! :D
Kidding aside, the nicest thing about such events is I get to personally thank all those who made The Beauty Junkee possible and here are some of them.
Last week, I held a very intimate meet-and-greet with some of the winners of my 6th Anniversary Giveaway. We talked, ate, laughed, and reveled in beauty products-how I wish we could've extended the fun, but we met on a Sunday and all had other stuff to accomplish, too! Still, I'm thankful for the chance, though quick, to meet more TBJ heads. :)
Why these ladies, just like the previous winners, deserve an introduction as well! Click READ MORE and get to know them more.
Abegaill Villacruz is probably one of my most diligent commenters-EVER. She never gets tired of sharing her thoughts and experiences on my blog posts, and I appreciate that a lot because most of the time, I pick up new things from her as well.
Elaine Mendoza goes by the quirky moniker, BrownOso in the comments section-she's been a reader since 2013, I believe.
Rovie Calonge, one of my readers since 2012, is the sister of Abegaill Bautista, one of the first- ever supporters of my blog. It's a pleasure to have the two of you as my most avid readers. :D
Blogger and new mommy Jacq Paraguya blogs at jacqwritesworld.blogspot.com. I met Jacq and her hubby in an out-of-town event that I attended last year, and I remember that she's so pleasant to talk with. :)
Marielle Ong is Matromao and sometimes foodworldme in the comments section. She's a Blogger as well and blogs at foodworldme.wordpress.com. I always love reading and responding to Marielle's insightful comments, plus I love how keen she is when it comes to scrutinizing product features, payoff, quality, and whatnots, thus I learn something new from her every time too!
Ana Liza Benetua has been around, reading my blog and commenting mostly on my Facebook posts for the last one or two years already. I like how enthusiastic she is when it comes to makeup!
Donna Bautista has been a reader since 2012 and she said that what got her hooked on my blog was my review on Aztec Healing Clay, which, according to her, she tried after reading my review and ended up loving. She came with her sister, Agnes, who's one of my readers as well. The two lovely sisters are planning to start a blog soon-looking forward to that. ;)
Here's Janeen Ferreria, Beauty Blogger at beautycolada.com. She's been reading my blog since 2012, I believe. Woot! :D I met her separately because she couldn't make it to the meet-and-greet due to work and mommy duties. Still, thanks for making time and I hope you'll enjoy the products. :D
And here's another winner whom I met separately as well because she had to go back home to Tuguegarao before the meet-and-greet: Stacie Noelle Chan. She's been a reader since 2013, I believe. She's really good at drawing and was so kind to gift me with my own sketch! Such a darling! Thank you for that lovely gift, Stacie. Enjoy your prizes. :)
Other winners were Ayessa Tolentino who lives in Davao, Jhessica Recto who could not meet me because she had to help transfer their home stuff to their new house, and Jenisse Encanto, a Pinay who's now based in Dubai.
And that's a wrap! Thank you all for allowing me to share a piece of me and be a blessing to others. You guys rock! I hope to see you all very soon. :)
I can't wait to meet more readers in my upcoming 7th Anniversary! :D

After reading this, I must say that they all deserve it. Congratulations ladies. There's nothing much pleasuring than meeting the person you've been following.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I got back to my grandma's place in Manila, my aunt who's taking care of my grandma, my sister and I, asked me what I got and I said "madami, mabigat" XD I took what I wanted the most, then she took what she wanted, the rest, she took a picture of and sent it to their "sisters" group chat :D So my mom and my five other aunts each got something :D
ReplyDeleteI went with Micah and I gave her the Dashing Diva Mani-Pedi coupon which she enjoyed, she traveled back to the US the next day :) Then the two other coupons, I gave out to my friends since I didn't have time to use it anymore, but at least those made them happy :D
I am now enjoying the Happy Skin eyeliner which I use to practice and the orange blush. I loooooooove orange and I was so happy to get it :) It goes well with my orange lip colors :D
