Launch of Beautyholics

By Angela Bethea | January 31, 2013

My recent collaboration with Faith [LoveRoxie.com] and April [Miss-April.info] for a Valentines Makeup Look resulted to founding a group called “Beautyholics” … we mash-up our ideas and share our love and passion for Beauty and everything fabulous. The “Beautyholics” is a coined term from “Beauty” and added “holic” for addiction. This can relate to anything categorized under “Beauty” … cosmetics, makeup, style, tutorial, skin care, tips, etc.

Faith originally came up with the “Beautyholic” alias for our group and eventually we tried to simply add a .com to it and it was already taken. Sooooo … we went on and tried different ways to retain the original alias and added “the” and so on but it still is taken. Then I suggested adding “love” in the front … and boom! We got Love Beautyholics! Aside from owning our own domain name [.com] we are now also on facebook, twitter and instagram! Lah.

What’s the plan? We aim to share our ideas, goals, aspirations and dreams. We also want to inspire beauty enthusiast out there. Maybe even point out a few beauty tips and reviews? Yes … we’re not professional, we’re no gurus … but we have passion and we can definitely do better if we share tips and maybe even beauty secrets to each other.

For our first month we are starting off with a beautiful Photo-A-Day challenge. This is where we try to take snaps according to a theme set for that day.

How to play:
❤ Refer to the February photo a day list.
❤ Each day look at the corresponding date and take a photo according to the theme.
– sample: Feb 15, check #15 … it says “Fav Lipstick Shade” then you should take a photo of your favorite lipstick shade either just by itself or wearing it on your lips.
❤ Once you’ve taken the photo it’s time to share it.
– check the complete details below to find out where you can share your entry for the challenge.
❤ Keep yourself inspired. Check out other people’s photos.
– on facebook we will share our own entries and a pick from the submissions.
– on sites like Instagram or Twitter simple search for the #LoveBeautyholicsFebPhotoADay hashtag to see them all.
