Back from Japan - very mini giveaway

Happy New Year~!

I'm back from Japan and already back into the grind...-_- I'll post some photos of Japan etc in another post. I just wanted to do a quick mini giveaway since the item I am giving away is somewhat time sensitive

I received this 2011 planner in one of my magazines that I have purchased while I was in Japan and decided to give it to someone that will use it. The front says "2011 Diary Biteki x Maybelline" and has a bunch of red hearts. It has a section with months and a section with weeks. It also comes with one of those string dividers (which I love and my current planner does not come with! boo!). It's quite thin (approx 1 cm) -nice and compact :)



- I'll choose the winner using random.org
- Open internationally
- Must be a follower
- Must be of age in your country or have permission to participate
- Please enter something you are proud of - it can be anything you want!
- Contest ends 11:59 pm EST Thurs Jan 13, 2011
- Winner must respond within 48 hours of initial contact by me

Good luck to you all!

My first GIVEAWAY :D

GIVEAWAY TIME \(^__^)/

Yes,..I know I only have 29 people following me, but reality is I have way too many items in my closet that aren't being loved. Instead of having it just sit there, I have decided to give these items to you!

There will be two giveaways:
Group 1. For those followers that have recently joined (after Nov 2) - I don't anticipate there being many
Group 2. For those followers that have been there since the beginning

Here is what you're getting (group 1 & group 2 can participate):

There is the closeup of the Etude House Blush colour

This is what consists of the Lorac Palette - I haven't opened it so I can't take a photo of the contents inside (it's shrink wrapped)

Giveaway #2 for group 2 followers:

Rules & How to enter:

- Tell me something you are thankful for. It could be anything! I try to think about this at least once a day while I'm driving. I think it's important to take time to sit and take it all in; to really appreciate what you have in life. There is always someone out there that has it worse than you. I am so thankful for everything that I have in my life..I am thankful for having a computer to connect with people, for having a relatively healthy body, for having enough food in my fridge, for having wonderful family and friends that love me for who I am...it can be anything!


Rules:

- Must be a follower of my blog
- One entry per person (if you're in Group 2 and you enter, I will calculate your entry automatically for the Group 2 giveaway)
- Open internationally
- Must obtain permission if you are under age (in your country)
- Giveaway will close November 23, 2010 11:59 pm EST
- Please leave your email address so that I can contact you

Extra entry (optional):
- post this giveaway on your blog = 2 entries (please state in your entry that you have posted it on your blog along with your blog address)

Winners will be chosen randomly and will be contacted via email. If you are the winner, you will have 5 days to respond with your address/info.

Items for Group 1 & Group 2:
- Social Beautyfly Lorac Palette
- Essie Summer Collection Nail Polishes x 4 bottles (each bottle 20 ml size)

NOTD and Giveaway

Just a quick post on my NOTD: picked this one up from Shoppers when they were having a Revlon sale. It's called Perfect Pink and it's such a cute pink for summer^^ If you're looking for a cool toned pink, this is it! It was a bit streaky so for some nails I had to put on 3 coats. I'm really enjoying this colour! Here are some photos: it's funny how lighting changes the colour of the nailpolish lol

At night - kitchen light on (no flash)

Daytime - by the window (this is more true to colour)

..and Jenny is holding a giveaway - be sure to check it out here!

UNII Palette

So when I started my obsession with makeup/cosmetics, I went to Youtube for many 'how-to' videos and reviews of products. One guru I came across was Leanne (meepocow) on Youtube. I subscribed to her because she's from Toronto and she gives a lot of good info on products. She had a giveaway several weeks ago - it was for a UNII Palette. I entered the giveaway and I actually won! (wow lol)

So I was sent a free UNII Palette :)

From their website:"The UNII palette magnetically stores multiple brands of makeup pans, whether it's Mac, Stila, Bobbi Brown and more! Now, all your favorite brands can be stored neatly in the UNII Palette. Say goodbye to makeup clutter!"


The base of the palette is all magnetic and it includes a thumb grip for easier hold of the palette. (btw, you can place the thumb grip wherever you want it to). The other side of the palette is a big huge mirror. The palette itself is quite sturdy and is very well constructed.


And it also includes magnetic strips so that you can cut them and attach them to items that are not magnetic. I was pleased to see this as I was thinking I had to go to the dollarstore to purchase some on my own :)


It has a really great clasp that closes the palette quite tightly so that nothing will fall out. If you visit the website you can see how others are using their UNII palette

Overall, I'm really pleased with this product! Now I gotta fill my palette - hm..I sense a trip to the shopping mall soon ;)
