A Touch of Blusher Sixth Anniversary 2012 1(Hello cupcakes!)

.

My blog is six years old today!

This year, I have experienced some ups and downs in my personal life, and I was not able to post in some earlier parts of this year. However, blogging has proven to be a therapeutic constant for me and the way I view blogging has taken on a new dimension.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for reading my blog. Your ongoing support means a lot to me.

Once again, let’s take a look back at the last 12 months of A Touch of Blusher:

.

November 2011: I added a limited-edition Lunasol blusher to my stash.

December: I presented another Foundation Face-Off.

January 2012: My green-toned eyeshadow phase continued.

February: Another season, another Coffret d’Or palette.

March: RMK celebrated its 15th anniversary.

April: More lovely Paul & Joe items were added to my collection.

May: I started the Stash Debut 2012 series.

June: A new era for Lavshuca.

July: I finally got to try an eyeshadow palette from Muji.

August: This year saw the launch of Astalift in the UK.

September: Jill Stuart’s new Relax bodycare range caught my attention.

October: Aube Couture has been a surprise hit for me this year.

.

Thank you all very much again. I will continue to bring you more news, more reviews, and more of my thoughts on beauty. Do stop by again soon!

A Touch of Blusher is five years old!

A Touch of Blusher Fifth Anniversary 2011 1

.

It was in one evening in November 2006 that I started A Touch of Blusher, and today my blog is five years old!

The blogsphere has evolved tremendously in the last few years, and I am constantly overwhelmed by all the new and inspiring blogs around the world. Looking back at some of my earliest posts, I think the aspects of beauty I focus on and the tone of my voice have changed as well. But my interest in beauty remains the same.

I want to thank all of you for reading and commenting on my posts, especially those of you who have been faithful readers since the early days. It has been great fun sharing thoughts and ideas with you! I also want to thank my other half for putting up with my obsession with my blog!

January 2011: Three of the eyeshadow palettes I bought in 2010 are on Biteki readers’ top 10 list for 2010.

February: I discovered Muji’s cleansing oil.

March: I was a panel speaker at Access² Fashion & Journalism in London.

April: I explained why I love Kanebo’s eyeshadows so much.

May: There is a new version of my favorite ZA Two-Way Foundation.

June: More blue lip glosses for your beautiful lips.

July: I opened my treasure chest again.

August: Another splash of lilting lilac.

September: I hand-picked highlights from London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2012.

Once again, many thanks to all of you, and I am very grateful for your support. I will continue to bring you the latest news and reviews as well as my thoughts on beauty, and hopefully you will continue to stop by and let me know what you think!

Sending Best Wishes to Japan

My thoughts are with people in Japan amid the calamity caused by the devastating earthquake last Friday. This is one of the most serious earthquakes in history, but, despite the catastrophe, the Japanese people are displaying composure and organization. Let’s hope that all the rescue efforts will progress smoothly and that those affected by the trauma will soon be able to begin rebuilding their lives.

To follow the latest news on the earthquake and the emergency relief, you can log onto NHK World, whose continuous TV coverage is currently being streamed live.
