Winner the Almost 500 Giveaway

Thank you so much for your sweet and funny comments...I love the feedback so much, even though I sometimes have to ask for it by doing a giveaway ;P

The winner...<drummmmmmrolllllllll>

No 19 is Kat from katbursts.blogspot.com

WOOT WOOT...congratulations!

I will mail you ASAP so keep an eye on your spambox as well (just in case)...

Ps: Mary in Wonder had such a sweet response  ...and yeh, I like the lipstick but I'm still dedicating it for bloggers-sisterhood

The almost 500 Giveaway

I have been plotting another giveaway for this dreary and probably cash-derived time of the year, but I didn't want to call it the January Giveaway's again.

So, I thought I was going to be a bit selffish and a tad pride of the fact that I almost have 500 followers. I have been blogging regularly since 2009 and I realise that it is quite good even though I am not trying to be an A-list beautyblogger. (makes me realise I can really relate and smile about this article of 'Confessions of a B-list Beautyblogger' a lot).

But what is in there for you?

1. Burberry Sheer Lipstick in 206 / Blueberry

Freshly released for FW 2011 and a beautiful deep bitten cherry-ish colour. Swatched here (theultimatemakeup) and here ( CafeMakeup).

Absolutely stunning, so why am I giving this new lipstick away? Well, I vowed that if I didn't use this colour for the 2011 Holidays I would have to give the favour to other beauty-fanatics. How much I love lipsticks, I do not go for the darker colours too much, and if I do I often go for Julie Hewitt's beautiful darker interpretations.

Moreover, since they are on sale in the Netherlands and online at the douglas.nl I noticed they lost a bit of their niche and exclusive appeal. That still makes me love Burberry cosmetics a lot, though, only not enough to treasure this lipstick, so I hope the future winner will treasure it enough ;D

My close-up of the lipstick you might win:

2. Banila Co The Secret Blush/Highlighter in 02 Eternity

Wow, I can promise you Eternity as a price? Who wouldn't wanna win that? Also, so pretty as a highlighter but honestly when you have one Banilla The Secret you do not really have to have all colours of them.

I guess I can make another winner really happy with this beautiful glow:

3. Haus of Gloi BodyLotion in Madcap Garden

Lushious Haus of Gloi are a beautyblogger's favourite and you can try out why...This one is brand new too. So indulge in a beautiful garden before it is officially spring with this excellent bodylotion.

4. My Beauty Diary SheetMasks in Chocolate Truffle

Another beautybloggers favourite and they probably need no introduction...I will add 3 of them in my giveaway....

So you might guess I will be a bit more demanding for this giveaway than my previous ones, because I would actually like to reach the magic 500 followers :P

Rulezzz:

1. Make a comment or say something small in the comment section

2. I should be able to contact you, so either leave your email behind, or, if you have it listed in your profile, I can contact you that way.

3. This time you HAVE TO BE A FOLLOWER. You can always unfollow me afterwards, but please don't because my blog is actually not that bad ;D

4. Contest ends on Monday, 9th of January 2012, 13.00 hrs European standard time)

5. You are only able to make one comment, so no cheaters who would like to double  their chances.

6. Winner will be announced in a new post after randomly being selected by random.org

7. Please contact me within 2 days to claim your prize or another winner will be selected!

 

8. Prizes will be shipped by airmail WORLDWIDE within 3 business days after winner contacts me!

So, good luck so you might get your beauty-fix without spending!

I thought it was time to give out a giveaway to my faithful readers on the blog.

I decided to keep it small but full of quality items. Somehow I wanted to keep everything for myself again, because I like the things I will be giving away, but I can use some more space in my closet and I like to treat my readers a bit.

1. Emma Hardie Amazing Face Natural Lift and Sculpt Moringa Cleansing Balm:

  I reviewed this one yesterday and shortly I liked this one for the luxurious vibe. I received an extra travel size, which is the one I will be giving away. I also include their high-quality dual sided cleansing cloth. I featured pictures of that cloth over here. 

2. Mac Eye shadow mineralize duo in Fresh Green Mix.

Brand new...this will look stunning on all kinds of eyecolours, but especially brown hues.

3. My Beauty Diary Chocolate truffle Sheet Masks: 3 pieces.

Also new, ofcourse...for the cuteness factor.

Congratulations Citrine: I will mail you as soon as possible!

Happy Chinese New Year Giveaway

Finally, it is February...! And it is Chinese New Year today: The year of the Rabbit/Cat.

Reason enough to throw in another giveaway...

When I think of Spring I think of fresh and blooming flowers and those cute little baby animals that, somewhat helplessly, dwindle through their newly found life.

So, I could not find a better item to give away that matches the approaching spring mood than this littl' Lamb pouch in cute zakka fabric. The inside is lined with a fun polka dot lining. It is a small purse that can function for carrying around pocket change, or a small camera.

♥ So, price no. 1: a cute and small zakka purse

I have never used this cuty purse...So it is for grab for the lucky winner.

♥ Price no 2: I have 5 sheet masks from Beauty Friends in Royal Jelly for the winner as well:

♥ Price no. 3: A KIKA Eyeshadow palette from their 2010 Winter edition:

I have tested this one, but it is too cute to throw away, and the colours are really flattering, so I put it up for the winner as well.

Giveaway: Holiday Season Pampering edition

It has been a while since I did my last giveaway. So for my regular readers and anyone who stumbles upon this post and really likes the possible prices, I will do another giveaway:

Holiday Season Pampering edition

Christmas and New Year's Eve are up the menu for the next couple of days. I am really sure that my gorgeous readers will have lots of parties or events to attend. So I want to give away some items that are perfect for pre- and after that wonderful event.

So you might have the chance to win:

1. Simply Anti-Aging Sheet Masks Q10
2. Etude House BB Magic Cream
3. Burt Bees Cuticle Butter
4. Fairy Princess necklace

Let's take a closer look at the goodies:

1. 3 Simply Anti-Aging Masks:
You might have read about these wonderful masks on lotuspalace (here) and these masks are really lovely to prep your skin before that special event, or to nourish them after the party.

I have tried them,and they have an extra feature that I do not see oftenly on sheet masks...you can strap  them (see picture 3 on the picture below) behind your ears so they stay put.

The ear-strap on device method is really handy for when you cannot lie/sit still when applying the sheet mask...they really stay on even when walking around!

2. Etude House BB Magic Cream

Ohh, don't we need that bit of cover after that specific event...however, you do want to give your skin a bit of rest and possible a bit of a treatment as well...

So here is the Magic BB Cream, or, Etude House says it will say "Good-bye Trouble"

Most of my readers will know exactly what BB cream is, so I do not have to explain too much about this ;D. (PS. it is the only product I have used once before...the rest is all brand new)

3. Burt Bees Cuticle butter...

This is wonderful for pampering your nails and cuticles. It works on other dry spots on your body as well (although I would NOT advise putting it on your face)

4. Fairy Princess Necklace

Even after dressing up and feeling glam, you might still want to hold on to that feeling and feel a bit princessy...So I added this handmade necklace for you as well to keep on feeling a bit glamourous even after December is over.

The 'rules' or guidelines of this contest:

1. Make a comment or say something small, or post an emoticon if you really do not feel like writing anything. 

2. I should be able to contact you, or you should read closely to see if you are the winner after the drawing, so you can contact me. 

3. I do not want to oblige you to follow the blog just for the giveaway, so you can join even if you do not wish to follow my blog. I just want to contact the right winner when the winner has been drawn.

4. Contest ends on Wednesday, 15 September 2010, 18.00 hrs European standard time, GMT +1)
5. You are only able to make one comment, so no cheaters who would like to double (or triple) their chances.
6. Winner will be announced in a new post after random selection by random.org

Prizes will be shipped by airmail WORLDWIDE within 3 business days after winner contacts me!
