Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquers Giveaway CLOSED

I finally caved and created a Facebook page for this blog. Why? Because Blogspot isn't the best platform to have conversations with people. Not that I'm saying that Facebook is the best. Face-to-face will always be my first preference.

Anyway, the point is, I'd love to get to know you guys better and chit chat about all things beauty related. It can even be unrelated to beauty. So feel free to drop by my page and write away on my Wall!

Now, on to the giveaway... I'm giving away four Apocalips Lip Lacquers. You can read the review and see the swatches here. And behold! The shades are revealed!

303 Apocaliptic
102 Nova
100 Phenomenon

1. You must be either 18 or above to enter this giveaway
2. If you are under 18 you must obtain consent from your parents
3. You must be a follower of this blog; either by Google Friend Connect or Bloglovin'
4. Winner will be selected through Rafflecopter.

Winner of Make the Switch Giveaway

Hey everyone, really sorry about the delay in announcing the winner for my giveaway. I attended an event last night and was kinda busy yesterday so I did have a chance to go through the list of entries until now.

I would like to thank everyone for participating in this giveaway and for reading and following my blog. 

As usual, I've used the Random Number Generator on random.org to determine the winner.

And the winner is...

Congratulations Sheri!

If you didn't win this time, don't worry, I have more giveaways planned for the near future! Hope you're having or have had a wonderful day. Happy Mother's Day!

How did you celebrate Mother's Day? I bought my mum a plant and she absolutely adored it.

Make the Switch Giveaway CLOSED

Yes, it’s giveaway time again. Hooray! Why am I doing this? Because I feel like thanking you, my loyal readers, and to “raise awareness”.

Banner

2 new prize items

As you may or may not already know, Google will be shutting down Google Reader at the end of June. That means we won’t be able to follow blogs through the Google Friend Connect method. Apparently, they are trying to encourage everyone to switch to Google+. I am pretty peeved about it and refuse to switch to Google+ because I won’t be able to personalise my blog page. The design is pretty uniform for everyone and it’ll just be like having another Facebook account. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Google Reader

Anyway, enough with my ranting and let’s get on with the giveaway.


Rules for the giveaway
1. Must be Australian resident, aged 18 or above
2. If you’re under the age of 18, please ensure that you have parental/guardian approval

EXTRA ENTRIES (optional)
1. Leave a comment on this post (+1 entry)
2. Place the banner (above) on the sidebar of your blog and link it to this giveaway post (+ 3 entries)

Bloglovin'

Isn’t that easy? In case you’re wondering, no I am not being paid by Bloglovin' in any way to promote their site. I’ve switched to them and am very happy with how user-friendly their site is. They have also made it easy for us to transfer our Google Reader blogs over.

This giveaway is open internationally. 

Here's what you can win:
1. Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in 050 Berry Smoothie
2. Alpha-H Micro Cleanse
3. Palmer's Foot Magic

First, I want to thank everyone for reading my blog and for entering this giveaway. If you don't win this time round, please don't fret. I will be throwing more giveaways in the future.

Wicked Wednesday: If You Have a Lot of Time to Kill...

 As promised in the winners announcement post, here are the videos that I've made.

In these videos, you'll get to hear suggestions/comments made by other entrants. I also let you know my thoughts on them and give you an idea as to which requests I will be fulfiling! I apologise for the poor quality; I was using my brother's old film camera. Forgive me for the length, there were 98 entries to go through! I ended up cutting a lot of them out. What and you'll see why!







I spent A LOT of time filming and editing these videos and trying to upload them onto Youtube. I hope you liked them! Fingers crossed that you don't feel like I have wasted half an hour of your lives...

What do you think of the videos? Should I make the occasional video or just stick to writing?

Triple S: Mega Giveaway WINNERS Announced

It is finally time for me to announce the winners of my MEGA GIVEAWAY! I am going to keep the writing part of this post short because I've made a video (split into 3 parts) on how I chose the winners and why. I'll be posting up the videos on Wednesday, so keep your eyes out for them!

First place winner is Jenny Ma! Congratulations!
Her winning comment:
"Dear Ty,

Jenny has been diagnosed with a severe case of Organised-Makeup-Phobia. As a result, her cosmetic collection is absolutely chaos, causing her to be late to work each morning, as she conducts fruitless searches into her drawers of makeup for the right product. This has also means that she only has about 5 products on regular rotation, leaving many makeup items sad and unloved.

As a result, the doctor has prescribed her with a ‘Makeup Collection, Storage and Vanity’ post on Ty’s Blog of Epiphanies. She would particularly love to see how Ty stores her larger eyeshadow palettes, particularly her Urban Decay and Bobbi Brown. Jenny also enjoys salivating over picture-heavy posts with neatly organized make-up sitting comfortably in their trays. And, seeing the amount of covetable products Ty owns, this would be Ty-Dy-For!

Can’t wait to see your post, after all, it’s just what the Doctor prescribed!

Love,

Jenny’s Fingers (currently tapping away on keyboard)."

Second place winner is Saziya Parekh!
Her winning comment: "Beauty/Makeup Advice Session!"

Third place winner (selected throught Random.org) is anya! 


This is how I chose the 3rd place winner: I put all of the entries into a list randomizer and then generated a random number and matched it to the person on the list.

Congratulations, ladies! Be sure to reply to my email within 48 hours or new winners will be chosen. If you did not win, please don't fret, my pet! There will be more giveaways/contests to come! Have a lovely day.

I would like to thank everyone for their support and for reading my blog. I will continue to do my best to provide useful and interesting content for you to read. Thank you! 

Triple S: Mega Giveaway... Extended!

Oh no, it's 18th of August! Or at least it is, where I live. That means the giveaway is closed now... Well, if you read the title of this post, you'd know that I'm extending the giveaway. Okay, this may not be a good thing for those of you who have already entered (more competition, your chances decreased, etc.) but it's a good thing for those who didn't get in on time.

To make things fair, there is now a slight alteration to one of the rules. If you've submitted an entry previously, you're now allowed to submit a second entry/suggestion. So if you felt that what you previously submitted wasn't a good enough entry, you enter a new one. Essentially, everyone is allowed up to TWO entries. For your second entry you do not need to give me your blog link again, I can work it out from your previous entry.

When does this giveaway actually close? 24th August 2012 at 11.59pm (Sydney, Australian time).

To recap, new rules:
1. This giveaway is open internationally.
2. You must be 18 years or older to enter.
3. You must be a follower of this blog (via Google Friend Connect).
4. You may enter TWICE, each entry being separate and unique from the other. 
5. 1st and 2nd place winners will be chosen by me whilst the 3rd place via random.org.
6. Giveaway closes on 24th August 2012 at 11.59pm (Sydney, Australian time)!

So if you haven't entered my giveaway yet, now is your chance!

Winner of Wave Envy Giveaway

I don't normally put up two posts in one day but I was so excited that I couldn't wait till Wednesday (or tomorrow even) to announce the winner for my Wave Envy Giveaway.

To make things fair for all the entrants, I've decided to randomise everyone's entries (something that I wish I did for my earlier giveaways). So I put everyone's name into the List Randomizer on random.org.

As you can see there were a total of 17 entries and all of the names have been rearranged. This is so that it doesn't matter when you entered this giveaway.

Then, I generated a number randomly to come up with the winner!

Congratulations to Sarah! You're the winner of my Wave Envy Giveaway!

If Sarah does not reply my email within one week, I will redraw and announce a new winner. If you did not win this giveaway, don't fret my pets, I have another one running at the moment and it's even bigger than this one!!

Triple S: Wave Envy Giveaway CLOSED

The feedback so far to my question on this post, has been for me to throw multiple giveaways, so that there will be multiple winners. I'd like to start off by giving away this hot tool (yes, pun intended). VS Sassoon's Wave Envy. This is not a sponsored giveaway. I received this as part of my Blogstar Awards prize. I thought it'd be a good way to thank my readers (yes, that's you) by sharing out the prizes. Here's a quick video on how this wave-making machine works.

Rules:
1. This giveaway is only open to Australian residents.
2. You must be 18 years or older to enter.
3. You must be a follower of this blog (via Google Friend Connect).
4. Only ONE entry per person.
5. Winner will be selected via random.org and announced on the 3rd of August!! 

Simply fill out the form below to enter! Good luck!

GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Wicked Wednesday: On a Side Note

I know I'm really late with this week's Wicked Wednesday post but hey, better late than never, right? It's 20 minutes to midnight. So I better make this short so that it'll actually be a Wicked Wednesday post. Not a random Thursday post. Lame, I know. That's what happens when your mum is not working and she gets you running around the house helping her and she gives you cooking lessons on how to make pork buns.

Anyway, this was going to be a post on my travel makeup bag but I guess it'll have to wait till Saturday. Don't worry, it'll be worth the wait. I'll make sure to craft the post nicely instead of giving you a rushed version now. So this post is going to be about "side notes", things that are not so important or entirely relevant to beauty or arts & craft or shoes.

Side Note #1: I want to ask you, my readers, if you'd prefer a very big giveaway (with one winner) or a very big giveaway (with multiple winners, whereby the prizes are distributed out)? If you've been following this blog, you'd probably know by now that I'm planning on a big giveaway. I've been building up the prize pool and I think I'm almost ready to throw the giveaway. Please leave a comment to let me know which one you prefer.

Side Note #2: I'm sure you'd already know by now (if you've been reading my posts) that I'm a huge fan of Bobbi Brown and her products. I just thought I'd share with you this lovely look that a Bobbi Brown MUA did on me. Yes, this was the time when I bought the teeny tiny expensive concealer because I felt bad that the lovely MUA did so much work on me for free.

She was a little bit heavy-handed with the blush, so my cheeks looked really bright and pink in real life. However, I still love what she did. If you're interested in knowing what products were used on me, leave a comment below and I'll post up the face chart. Yes, she took time to write up a face chart upon my request.

Should I throw a giveaway with one winner or multiple ones? Would you like me to post up the face chart? Please let me know!

Caption That Photo Contest: CLOSED

Hello everyone! Yes, you read the title right. I'm throwing another giveaway! Well, okay maybe it's more of a contest, but still! This time I've got a few Rimmel goodies that I'd like to give to you, my readers.

Announcement: Winner of My Giveaway

Good Sunday morning, everyone! It a beautiful day today (or at least it is where I live). The skies are blue and the birds are chirping. Can anyone ask for a more perfect Sunday? Anyway, I better stop rambling on about the weather. I bet you're all dying to find out who the winner of my giveaway is. I also bet that some of you thought that I had forgotten all about it but no, I haven't!

So I got the random number generator on random.org to cough up a random number.

So without further ado, I'd like to announce the winner of my blog giveaway is...

*drumrolls*

Jacqueline! Congratulations!

I've already contacted the winner and if she doesn't reply within 5 days, I will redraw and a new winner will be announced. I'm happy to say that this giveaway was a success!... I think. If you did not win this giveaway, don't fret. I promise you I will be throwing more and better giveaways in the near future!

I would like to thank everyone who has been reading my blog. Thank you so much for the feedback that you've given me through the giveaway entry form. I'll keep what you have said in mind. In fact, I've already implemented some changes. I hope I can continue to write blog posts that you enjoy reading.

Have a great day!

P.S. I know it is April Fool's today but this post is not an April Fool's joke.

Giveaway Update CLOSED

I know I said I will add more products to the prize pool if the number of entrants to my giveaway hits 50, 100 and so on. We're not at the 50 mark yet but I've decided to replace one item and add two more as well!

I will be replacing the Natio eyeliner with a Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner. I'm also adding a small eye shadow palette, Maybelline Hyper Diamonds. If you've followed my blog long enough, you'd know that this blog isn't just about beauty. It's about arts and craft (and basically anything that I fancy). I'm now throwing a rub-on sticker pack into the prize pool.

So if you weren't already excited about this giveaway, now's a good time to start! To enter my giveaway, click here and follow the instructions!

Enjoy.

The Big Giveaway CLOSED

This is it everyone! I've finally launched my first giveaway! I will be giving away a sample-sized Dove Triple Moisturing Body Wash, a Sunsilk Frizz Control Light Cream, a Dove Gentle Exfoliating Facial Cleanser, a sample-sized Agent Provocateur perfume, a Rimmel London Moisture Renew Lipstick in Latino and a Natio Liquid Eyeliner in Bronze/Black. Below is a photo of the prizes. Edit: more prizes have been added. Here's an update.


I'd like to add a Natio eyeshadow palette into the prize pool. However, there's a big scratch on the case and I'm not sure if you guys would want it.


Here's a photo of the scratch. I think I will let the winner decide if she wants the palette.

To enter, simply fill out the form below (and don't forget to hit "Submit")! The rules are as follows:
1. You must follow my blog (via Google Friend Connect).
2. You must be an Australian resident.
3. You must be 18 or above (or have your parents/guardians consent if you are under 18).
4. Only one entry form per person. Submitting it multiple times will not increase your chances.

I apologise to international followers, for this is my first giveaway. If this giveaway goes well, I will open the next one to everyone!

Giveaway closes on the 30/03/2012 (Friday) at 11.59pm.

Up till 30/03/2012, I will add more prizes as I see fit. That means, the more people enter, the larger the prize will be. For example, if we hit 50 entrants, I will add another product. If we hit 100, I will add two more on top. So spread the word if you want more prizes! I will post about any new additions. Don't worry, I will not be removing any prizes if there are few entrants.

Winners will be chosen with random.org and contacted via email. The winner must respond within 5 days from notification or I will redraw and a winner will be announced.

Edit: GIVEAWAY CLOSED

Good luck, everyone! Enjoy!
