beautyheaven's 10th birthday member award winners – UPDATED: OCTOBER 25 2017

Please note: This article was updated on October 25 2017.
Hi beauties,
Following the recent forum discussions and your emails of concern regarding the winners we announced in our original article, we have reviewed the data and updated the following content of this article. We hope this helps to clarify how the awards were determined, provide the correct data, and recognise some members who weren’t originally acknowledged for their contribution to beautyheaven.
We’d also like to take this opportunity to say that we understand this situation has impacted many members and we’re terribly sorry for any feelings of distress, confusion, disappointment, anger or sadness that resulted. There was no motive behind these awards other than to recognise loyal members and evoke a supporting, celebratory vibe among the community during this special time.
We hope that the following clarifications help you to feel at ease moving forward. Please remember the most important thing: that you are part of a unique community that values you and supports each other. Whether you come up in the lists below or not, you are hugely valued by both your fellow members and the bh team.
Now for the revised information:
BEAUTYHEAVEN MEMBER AWARDS:
Recognising beautyheaven’s most loyal and active members:

Notes: The list that was originally published was determined using data from the past 10 years, however it didn’t include reviews that are no longer visible on site (for example, if a product is no longer available). The numbers above now include “total reviews”, including any reviews that may no longer be visible on bh.

Notes: The list that was originally published was determined using data since bh relaunched in May 2015. We’ve since gone back and re-tallied the results, using data from the past 10 years.
AWARDS FOR THE MOST ARTICLE COMMENTS:
Comments have been tallied for the past 10 years:
1. Yohanna (13,848)
2. Shop A Everyday (12,753)

7. Petal (6,704)
8. ray_jay (6,393
9. Beautybabe140194 (5,943)
10. Trish_D (5,886)
Notes: The list that was originally published was determined using data that only reflected activity since the bh relaunch in May 2015. This new list takes into account information from all time.
AWARDS FOR THE BIGGEST POINTS-SPENDER:
Since beautorium November 2015, when the new shopfront was launched:
-
Yohanna (15,365 points)
-
Shop A Everyday (14,260 points)
-
Miss19 (14,090 points)
-
iluvspring (13,870 points)
-
Petal (11,570 points)
-
Beauty Obsession (9,680 points)
-
Misfortune8 (9,115 points)
-
Lucrecia629 (8,270 points)
-
Duality (7,570 points)
-
ray_jay (7,450 points)
Notes: These awards have been calculated using data since the new beautorium shopfront relaunched, for beautorium in November 2015. Unfortunately we are unable to access complete records for all events/purchases all the way back to the first beautorium in March 2012. While this means that there may be people who spent more points than noted above, so that we can keep this award alive, please understand that this award is based on the last 2.5 years, not the last 5.5 years.
To keep the prize pack distribution fair, initially where a winner had already won in another category they were not eligible to win again, making the 2nd biggest points-spender the winner. In this case, Yohanna and Shop A Everyday are both winners.
----
Please take a moment to congratulate any members you haven’t already. On behalf of the beautyheaven team and our entire community, we’d like to say a big congratulations to each of these members. Thank you for your contributions to beautyheaven over the last 10 years. It wouldn’t be the same amazing community without you!
A few final notes:
No award winners are revoked of their titles or unentitled to their certificates and prize pack. Each member is deserving whether they were a top contributor since the site relaunch or in the past 10 years.
The new award winner (congrats melmeko!) who should have received a certificate and prize pack will see these arrive in the mail in the coming weeks.
As a small token to help express our sincerest apologies, by close of business this Friday 27 October, each member on the above lists and the ones previously published will receive 1000 bonus points to spend in the next beautorium.
We understand you may feel that awards based on volume aren’t a fair way to acknowledge contributions, however unlike ‘quality’, it is not determined by opinion. The only way to create awards based around ‘quality’ would be to vote for each other and we didn’t want to turn it into a popularity contest or competition – these awards are supposed to be fun and lighthearted.
Have you got a question or concern that hasn’t been covered above? Please email it to rosemary@beautyheaven.com.au. This will ensure we don’t miss it and if it’s relevant to everyone, we can update this article so the community is up to date.
Love,
Rosie and the beautyheaven team x

I had no idea they updated it and changed the winners but it seems more fair that way. So does that mean everyone on this list gets a prize pack?

Wow this is really an amazing surprise. Thanks so much Beauty Heaven. I didn't see the original winners list and have no idea what complications arose based on that list, but all I can say is OMG!!!! It's such an honour to be recognised here on my all time favourite beauty website. I still remember first stumbling upon the original beautyheaven website all those years ago and was instantly hooked. Then 10 years ago (wow time flies) I joined my fellow beauties as we made our mark christening the new BH forum, where I met so many wonderful people, some of whom I am still in contact with today, as we all frequently came together to chat about everything we love in the world of beauty. Beautyheaven, you have no idea how of much you have boosted my spirits. Love to you all xx oo

I was so happy to see the new list amended Mel - I could not believe that your name was not up there so it is great that BH went back further from the start. I hope you come in with a photo of your prize too.
I know that someone is going to be busy reviewing your items too, along with other members.
congratulations again Mel

Hi melmeko! I was previously credited with being the most active on the forum, so I felt guilty for receiving everyone's congratulations. I knew the numbers were wrong so I'm glad all has been righted now!
Congratulations!
