It's Mateja's Beauty Blog's 10th Birthday + a Giveaway

 

I don't even know what to say. I've been trying to come up with something original for days now, but I've got nothing. All I can do is a few unimportant sentences and basic stats. No deep thoughts on the current state of blogging because I don't care anymore. Though at least I planned a giveaway, which is something, considering I completely forgot my 8th anniversary (then randomly remembered in November) and all I did last year was a pathetic quick story on Instagram. 10 years. A lot of time to waste on something so irrelevant as makeup and beauty, yet I enjoy it. For now at least. I hope you still find my work somewhat helpful, I try to do my best. I guess I'm gonna do this for a while longer, but we'll see what the future brings. 

I thank all of you who are subscribed or just passing by for taking the time to visit my blog or Instagram, read my work or just check out the pictures. Thank you for every view, comment, Instagram and Bloglovin' like, repin on Pinterest and links to my blog, I value every one. 

STATISTICS

Number of views: 8.5 million

Number of posts: 1,259

Number of comments: 14.5 thousand

Most traffic still comes from Google searches, second from Pinterest, then Facebook and Instagram.

Top searches on Google that lead people to my blog are strangely "amazon" and less strange that is followed by many variations of "mateja's beauty blog". 

MOST READ POSTS IN ALL 10 YEARS

Pictures are links

By the way, most read posts about Mac lipsticks are on top due to views from Pinterest and the "20 MAC lipsticks swatched plus their dupes" is still the fourth most read in this year (after Catrice Luminice), but so it's not repeated below, I excluded it.

MOST READ POSTS IN LAST YEAR

How to curl stubborn and difficult-to-curl lashes is an ancient post that gained popularity through Pinterest (most pinned image in recent years), so I decided to update it with better pictures. How to Determine your Skin's Undertone is also here due to Pinterest, but I actually originally wrote this post in Slovene - Slovenke lahko (sicer krajšo) objavo Kakšen podton kože preberete na Click2chic blogu. Vse iz časa ko je bil blog še aktiven lahko vidite na tej Pinterest tabli.

 

RECENT POSTS

I'm currently working on updating some favourites posts and my routines. These are the ones I've done so far, but I have several others lined up like current skin care, favourite foundations, mascaras, lipsticks, …  You can find these and some older such posts on the page called Reads.

I mentioned Pinterest above and you may not know that I use it a lot. I have all the posts arranged on my Pinterest board as a more visual version of directory. I'm not sure you can see it without an account, but those who have it might find it more helpful than a classic directory. Also my wishlist is there, as well as what I already tried arranged in simple groups of what I loved and disliked, as a quick way of seeing what works for me. I've also done a board with all the swatches in one place. 

I'm sure you already know this, but I also run Subrina's, Click2Chic and Green Line Facebook and Instagram accounts, where you can see more of my pictures, as well as stories with mostly hair care and colouring tips.

GIVEAWAY

This is for residents of Slovenia only, I'm sorry to my international readers, you know I'd set it up differently if shipping cost weren't an issue. I picked two products I've never tried myself. I just got two things that I assumed are popular and will make one of my readers happy. I'm giving away Huda Beauty Medium Nude Obsessions palette and Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Pillow Talk Original lipstick. 

Za sodelovanje je potrebno odgovoriti le na eno vprašanje v Rafflecopter obrazcu, drugo pa ni obvezno ampak prinaša dodatne glasove za žreb. Na novo mi mi treba nikjer slediti, ker ta nagradna igra ni namenjena povečanju številk. Nagradno igro ni treba nič deliti - raje vidim, da ne, ker želim, da nagrado dobi nekdo, ki me resnično spremlja in bere, torej ne ena naključna oseba, ki me je odkrila le zaradi giveawaya. Zaključi se v nedeljo 28. septembra 2020. Veliko sreče!
