CLOSED: The Happy Sloths | Five-Year Blogiversary Giveaway (Valued at ~$900)!

It's kind of hard to believe but last month (January 30th, to be exact) marked the fifth blogiversary of The Happy Sloths. Five years ago, I started this blog with my friend Angela, with the hopes of doing something fun with our love for makeup while making our way through university. Never have I ever imagined that the blog would grow into what it has become today. As some of you may know, I am still in school (five years later, hard to believe, I know...) and this blog is by no means my way of making a living. However, it has truly become a huge part of my life. Blogging is what I do for fun, what I do to relax, and what I do to let my creativity flow. For me, it's a big accomplishment and I feel so lucky and proud. So in celebration of this momentous occasion and to give back to you, my readers, I am hosting a "little" giveaway. Whether you stumbled upon the site in search of some lipstick swatches or have been around since the beginning, I thank you! To enter this giveaway (valued at ~$900 CAD, open internationally), click......
