Winnings

I was thrilled to receive an e-mail from the lovely Marianne from Rainbowify Me telling me I had won first prize in her giveawy. I was really excited to see I had won some of Revlon's scented polishes, I had never tried scented polish so I am looking forward to trying these out. On to the pictures.

Here we have Revlon's scented (when dry) polishes in Mad About Mango, Passion Fruit, Beach and Ocean Breeze. The final polish is from a brand I haven't tried before Ruby Hammer Recommends.

Look at the pretty stickers and sweet note from Marianne.

Pretty polishes, I will do more posts on each colour soon, I wonder if they do smell like their names? Has anyone ever tried them out before?

I also wanted to take this chance to say a massive thankyou to Marianne for hosting the giveaway and for the lovely prizes.

Thank you Beauty Shades

I had an e-mail from Beauty Shades to say I had won her competition, the package came through the post really quickly and this is the prize:

I was lucky enough to have won Almay Pure Blends eyeshadow in Ivory, Sally Henson Diamond Strength nail polish in 05 Diamonds, Barry M nail polish in Dusky Mauve, Revlon nail polish in Gold Get ' em, Barry M Kohl pencil (number 19) Collection 2000 Shimmer and Shade palette and finally some chunky dome earrings from New Look.

Thank you to Beauty Shades for a lovely prize.

Thank you Lena

I was thrilled when Lena over at The Student's Guide To Nail Polish e-mailed me to say I had won her giveaway she held in April. This is what I won.

Six BeautyUK metallic eye sparks jumbo pencils, and MUA eyeshadow and a W7 dust. How cute are the bottoms of these pencils?

and a closer look:

I swatched the pencils and they applied smoothly and the colours are well pigmented.

I was lucky and also got a couple more goodies thrown in, MUA eye shadow in shade 4 Pearl.

and also a W7 loose dust in Carnival Dust: this is gorgeous, a very subtle shimmery shadow.

Thank you for a fabulous prize Lena!

My prize from Dee from FaceFixers

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to have won Dee's giveaway over on her blog called FaceFixers. I was really excited as the prizes were lovely and I hadn't tried any of the products before. I got a lovely package through the post with a kind note from Dee, this is what I won.

A gorgeous creamy foot lotion which has a subtle scent of coconut, it applies really well and sinks into the skin quickly and is non greasy.

Next up is a fantastic thermal face wash from Biore,I love the brand, I love the moisturizer as it just soaks up any oils on the skin and keeps your skin matt. Unfortunately, I have not seen it sold in Superdrug or Boots recently which is odd as they both used to stock it, I will have to keep my eyes peeled for it again. This face wash is lovely and light and warms up as soon as you put it on your face. The warming sensation doesn't last long, but is really good when you first lather it on your face.

Next up are the Biore face masks which are thermal as well, I love face masks which heat up like this as it is just feels more relaxing and pampering, especially when you have a bath. I feel it also helps to remove more oil etc from your skin as the heat will help the pores to open up more. These particular face masks come in individual packets, the amount in each pack is plenty to cover your whole face.

Finally I got a couple of nose pore strips which I haven't used yet but have heard lots of people really like them, so I will have a go and report back soon.

Thankyou to Dee for such lovely prizes x

Runner up prize from Jodie

I recently received a congratulations e-mail from Jodie over at Shopping is a girl's bestfriend

telling me that I was her runner up prize winner in her recent competition. I was so excited to have won, so thank you Jodie for such a generous and gorgeous runner up prize.

The prize was a Smashbox Berlesque make up collection set (from the movie starring Christina Aquilera and cher). In the set you get a quad of eyeshadow, a black liquid eye liner, a double ended lip gloss and a loose shimmer. The make up came in a fabulous presentation box which looks like this...

Here are the products which were inside

I love the liquid eye liner, look at the tip, it makes it so so easy to apply, it goes on smoothly 
and does not budge all day. Next up are the lip glosses, one end is a deep pink, the other a 
light shimmery pink, just amazing. (I tried taking pictures of the loose shimmer power but my 
camera wouldn't pick up its greatness unfortunately.)

I am so so pleased with this prize and love all the products in the set, I didn't own any Smashbox products before, so again, a big thank you to Jodie for giving such wonderful prizes.
