Sleek Palette Giveaway

I had long planned a giveaway for my 500 follower milestone but sadly just didn't have the resources at the time. Recently things have started turning around for me and I find myself filled with positivity and excitement for the future. I have just been offered a job and I'm starting a whole new chapter of my life in September when I go to University (better late than never!) This is just a little giveaway to say thank you for sticking by me during my hiatus. I continue to be overwhelmed with gratitude for all your support and lovely comments and I really want to give something back! 

These are my all time favourite Sleek Palettes, the Sunset i-Divine and the Lace Blush by 3. Beautiful reds, coppers and golds and some fab Summer brights in the shadows - there's something for everyone there! Lace is a collection of corals and pinks that are universally flattering and have amazing pigmentation. I know Sleek is difficult to get hold of outside of the UK so this is of course INTERNATIONAL - woo!

P.S. Please, please, please don't lie about your entries, I do check them and I hate having to remove people so play nice!

This is just a quick post to let you know that my giveaway is now closed and that the winner has been chosen!

Congratulations to the beautiful Hareem from iheartmexo!
Here's everything you won:

I really hope that you like everything and that it gets to you in one piece!

I wanted to say thank you to everyone for entering, I was totally overwhelmed by the amazing response and I so wish I could have given prizes to everyone! I had a lot of fun running this and look forward to doing some more in the future. I know for certain that I want to do one to celebrate 500 followers (I should be so lucky) and I may do some mini flash giveaways on Twitter too!

Thank you again!

New Year Giveaway: CLOSED

Even if you don't read all my drivel, read everything that's in BOLD. 
So I've just finished my last trip into town for the year and I've decided to get my giveaway up now!
This is just a little mix of goodies to say thank you for your support. I've had such an amazing time already and was astounded when I recently hit 100 followers. I've already had the luck of winning a giveaway and I know how much fun it is! I really hope I can inspire as much happiness with my prizes.

Just a quick heads up:
You must be a blogger to win this.
You must be following this blog to win this.

I've seen way too many people upset because of serial competitors who only have an account to try and win giveaways. Naturally, I want this prize to go to someone who actually reads my blog and is part of the community so I have to ask that you please leave a comment with a link to your blog and a way to contact you. Not only will this help keep serial competitors away but it's also a fun way to get a bit of exposure! I urge you to check out each others blogs if you have the time because there is such a ridiculous amount of talent out there on the blogosphere and you all deserve recognition.

Enough technical chat. Here's what you could win:

 And a better picture of the palettes:

I tried to essentially give you everything you could need for a few full looks! Minus your base and cleanser. I hope you like everything :)
The giveaway is running from today until January 21st 2013 and will all go to one winner. Update: I'm sorry I am a total idiot, this is UK only I'm afraid because the postage would cripple me :(

Giveaway Win: Mixed Beauty Bits From Misellyre

If you follow me on Twitter you'll know that I recently won my first giveaway! It was from the lovely Ellie at Misellyre. Please please please check out her blog, it's absolutely fantastic and is just not getting the recognition it deserves at all! And do also check out the original giveaway post because it contains photos VASTLY superior to my own. They're also not all taken on a vivarium with bits of paper and spare change in the background. Clearly I need to get bigger pieces of white card. I also need to immediately say that I completely understand that some people do not like these posts. It's not my intention to show off or brag at all. I just really wanted to share my excitement and promote Ellie's wonderful blog and her generosity towards her followers. Honestly, I'll be reviewing everything in the weeks to come anyway, and I'd offer full disclosure and state that I didn't pay for this with my own money, so you'd know eventually! Of course, if this really bothers you, it won't hurt my feelings if you stop reading now.

So without further ado...

No Ellie, thank you! I love my prizes and I will definitely have a wonderful Christmas now.

 All the little bits and bobs came in these gorgeous Revlon make-up bags. I was actually shopping around for a new make-up bag, so this couldn't come at a more opportune moment! I love the classic monochrome styling and coral details, simple and beautiful.

 Here are all my lovely goodies! From bottom left clockwise: Blistex Moisture Max Lip Balm, Philosophy (OMG PHILOSOPHY! First ever Philosophy!) Crumb Berry Pie Body Souffle, The Jelly Bean Factory Snow Beans (my boyfriend thinks he's having these. Good luck sweetheart. You'll die trying,) StarGazer Feather False Eyelashes (I have never in my life worn false eye lashes. Time to jump in the deep end!) Nail Rock Nail Wraps (have no idea why they look bright red, they're actually a beautiful classic gold,) Nails Inc Colour Collection including Aldford Street (officially my first glitter polish) Royal Mews (a subtle holographic, YAY) and Belgrave Mews (forest green that shines gold, absolutely incredible, it's so up my alley,) MUA Immaculate Palette (I'm a recent convert and full on lover of MUA cosmetics, can't wait to sink my claws into these fantastic eyshadows) and finally Violent Lips in The Rainbow (have no idea when I'm going to wear this. Who wants to invite me to a fancy dress party or go to the next gay pride event with me?!)

The only thing not pictured here is the red Twistband because I'm currently wearing it. Swish!

Thank you again Ellie, I love my prizes! They came so much faster than I thought they would!

I'm hoping to post my own giveaway in the new year because I recently hit 100 followers on GFC! It's such a huge achievement to me and I'm absolutely honoured by the lovely comments I get from everyone. I won't give you any clues yet about the contents because I love surprises and I hope you do too!

Have you ever won a blog giveaway? What was your favourite thing that you won?
