Follower Giveaway!

Hello beautiful peeps!!

Well, the time has come for me to do my first ever 'thanks for following' giveaway! I really wanted to wait for 100, but I'm too damn impatient! Plus, I'm moving house tomorrow and wont be able to post at least til Monday now, so this is my way of saying sorry!

So, to give away I have...

1 Sleek Bohemian Palette

1 Victoria Jackson Eye Palette

1 Sigma Makeup E/S Blending Brush

1 Victoria Jackson Refillable, Retractable Bronzer

1 Duo Mister Mascara 'Tease' Eyelashes

1 Bottle of Sherbet Lemon No17 Nail Polish

So the rules are...

You need to be a follower. This is a giveaway to thank my followers, therefore to be in the running, you need to be a follower!

To enter, I'd like you to leave me a comment telling me about your Desert Island or Holy Grail beauty product. Just a few words, what it is, what you love about it and why it makes you feel good. It can be hair, skincare, makeup or body care - whatever!

For a second entry, you can either blogroll or post about this giveaway, but make sure you put the link in with your comment.

That's it! Make sure you leave an email address in your comment so I can contact you, if you're the winner.

The Small Print

The competition will be open until Midnight (GMT) Friday 2nd April 2010, so you have a little over a week to get thinking. Open to International entrants. All prizes are brand new - I do have my own Sleek Palette and the yellow nail varnish, but you will receive brand new products. I have purchased all the prizes myself, with the exception of the Sigma brush which was a gift when I bought some brushes recently. The winner will be selected by random google selection widget.

Good Luck!! A xx

Sleek LE Bohemian Palette

There's a web urban legend that, it only takes 5 clicks from any topic on Wikipedia, to find a way to a mention about Hitler. I reckon, in Beauty Blogosphere, the same could probably apply to this Sleek LE Palette. It's everywhere, having just been released a few days ago.

I actually almost didn't bother posting pics of the one I picked up on Saturday morning, as you could easily find plenty reviews and pics elsewhere, but then I thought, imagine everyone thought like that, there would be no reviews! Deep...

A lot of people have mentioned that the LE packaging is pretty cool, which it is with the black swirls on the cardboard (which I so prefer to the nasty plastic the palettes usually come in). I kinda wish it was still black though, as I don't really like to see my shadow dust everywhere! Overall, still very nicely presented and for £5, the value for money is ridiculous.

I'm really pleased to see so many matte colours/shades - sometimes we want simple, non-metallic eyes!! Not quite sure I understand the whole bohemian theme, but I do love the shades; in particular the burnt orange, 2nd top left and the 2 greens.

So, the good news is that this palette is mine! Hurrah! The BETTER news, is I have a 2nd one, in my kit ready to be given away... Keep your eyes peeled over the next week for details of how you can win this LE Palette and some other lovely goodies!!

This is actually my 2nd attempt at yellow nails (see the first here). Despite actually having the same name as attempt #1, this is a much softer, pastelly yellow, that I think was what I was hoping #1 would look like.

Was £2.99 from Boots, literally still warm from having been placed on the shelf! I like it and it's making me feel all easter bunnies and daffodils. I am ignoring Neil's comment that it looks like I have emulsion on my finger tips...

What do you think? are you embracing pastels this spring?

Celeb Copy Cat - Lady Gaga Telephone

Hello hello, baby...

Not going to say too much on these, other than I am so so disappointed with my pictures as this looked way more awesome in the flesh. Also, thought I'd take a leaf out of Gaga's book on piss takes and so instead of Coke cans, I rolled my hair with make-up brushes... (I thought it was funny!)

I know it's crap, but I couldn't do it without one cringey phone pose pic, could I!

I can't believe I forgot!

What a airhead! I forgot to mention that BeautyBloggingBlonde is deeply honoured to have been asked to join the Handpicked Media network! I popped the tag (look right) up a few days ago and must have gotten distracted before I put this post up!

Anyway, at least this way I can link to their brand new website!

So, that's all really. Exciting times ahead for my wee blog!
