Bring on the Trumpets! We're (nearly) THREE!

Yes! Can you hardly believe it? Beaut.ie has been serving up daily slices of gorgeous goodies for just about THREE WHOLE YEARS NOW (chanelling Kanye there with the CAPZ LUV) and as you've come to expect from Ireland's bestest lil beauty blog, we're going to be rolling out a few treats for you from Monday, in honour of our 36 months in the beauty biz.

So what's on offer next week? Here's a snippet of the goodness to come:

• Fabulous Trilogy skincare sets
• A weekend trip to Galway's Radisson Blu Hotel for two
• A pamper afternoon at Dublin's Buff Day Spa
• Makeup collections from Shiseido's new autumn launch
• A weekend break for two to Ballina's swanky Icehouse hotel

Phew! That's not all the stuff we have that might take your breath away - consider these facty nuggets: on the occasion of our La Feile Breithla, we've done a bit of accountancy, and have discovered the following facts and figures:

• Beaut.ie contains 5,048 posts (phew) and 208,151 comments (that's ok, you lot wrote them so my RSI can rest easy)
• Daily, around 18,000 of you come to the site for a goo and a natter and we record over 700,000 page impressions each month (that's a lorra lorra pages)
• In addition to myself and Aphrodite, we have three lovely contributors in the form of Lynnie, xgirl and Cathyfly
• We're just about to launch our Aphrodite-penned opus, the Beaut.ie Guide to Gorgeous, which'll land on October 17th at a very special launch!
• The last year has also seen us roll out a new site design, forums and Beauty Swap Siopa - and there's more to come, oh you betcha
• Lets not forget Fifty Fine Things, eh?
