100 Follower Give Away - UK ONLY

I said that in the new year, because I had hit 50 followers, I would set up a give away. As I have now reached the 100 follower mark (wow, thank you!), I am giving away not one, but two products to one lucky person.

Both items are from MAC and they're both limited edition and no longer able to purchase (as far as I can see, other than eBay!) which I think makes it even more special!

THE GIVE AWAY IS ONLY OPEN TO PEOPLE WITH A UK ADDRESS because this is my first giveaway. My next giveaway I will launch worldwide.

The first item is from the Baking Beauties collection and is a MAC Pearlmatte Face Powder in Pink Buttercream. I am soooo tempted to keep this for myself, but I would love someone else to be able to get their hands on it as apparently, it went out of stock very quickly after it was launched.

The second item is a MAC Mineralized Eyeshadow in Thunder and Rain which is a gorgeous blue/grey coloured eyeshadow. At the time, I also sneakily picked one of these up for myself as it's beautiful.

Terms and Conditions
The give away will run for two weeks opening on Tuesday 14th January and ending on Tuesday 28th January 2014.
Only open to people residing within the UK.
I will check that people are following me as stated on the entry form before announcing the winner. You must still be following me in the ways mentioned after the closing date and at the time of me validating your entry.
I will announce the winner in a blog post shortly following on from Tuesday 28th January 2014.
Both products are brand new and unused.
Please remember that these products have been stored in my house in a draw, therefore the boxes do have a few tiny marks on them.

Ann Summers LBD

I always love a good competition, and this isn't just a good competition, it's an amazing one, so I really couldn't pass. You can win £900 worth of Love2Shop vouchers plus a £100 Ann Summers voucher! Wow, that would certainly kit my wardrobe up with some lovely winter clothes. The prize is in conjunction with Ann Summers and you can find out more HERE.

I can't say I've really thought much recently about Ann Summers, but after browsing their site, it seems they have expanded the sizes in their lingerie range which is great considering I usually wear a 30/32 back.

So, here is my mood-board containing a beautiful little black dress and an Ann Summers lingerie set. I have chosen this set as I think it will look beautiful under the strapless dress and I love the burst of red. To me, this sets it apart and gives it something different as most of my expensive/luxury bras are plain black.

Lipsy Dress | Ann Summers Underwear - Bra, Thong | Shuphoric Gold Clutch | Tesco Shoes | Pandora Earrings | Pandora Bracelet 

You too can enter by completing the following steps:

• Create a mood-board of your perfect Christmas party outfit to include images of both Ann Summers lingerie and a lust-worthy little black dress
• Publish your outfit mood-board within a post on your blog, linking to this page so your readers can find out more about the competition
• E-mail your entry to competitions@annsummers.com

Deadline for entries is midnight on Sunday 16 December 2013 and full competition terms and conditions can be found here.

Let me know if you create your own mood-board so I can have a look.

Good luck!

Recent Competition Wins - Wahoooooo!!

Okay, as I said in a previous post, I've been entering lots of competitions lately. A lot of my friend's and family laughed at me and said 'you'll never win anything'. But I have!! My two top prizes are as follows:

I got to pick a dress from the Oasis Website. I picked this one as it's very pretty and very me. A lot of their dresses were quite posh, and something I'd need an ocassion to wear. I choose this one as I think I'll be able to dress it up or down. In winter, I can wear it with tights and black boots, or tights and heels to go out in.

Heritage Bird Dress

Price: £55.00

Oasis currently have 15% off using code WHYNOT15

My next AMAZING and favourite win of ALL time was thanks to The Daily Mail. I won a trip to VALENCIA!!!!!!

This is taken from a website advertising the competition, as The Daily Mail have now removed the details from their page:

'You’ll travel to Valencia with Ryanair from London Stansted, to watch a match at the prestigious Valencia Open 500 tennis tournament (past winners include Andy Murray, David Ferrer). The tournament is held in the Agora, part of Valencia’s futuristic City of Arts & Sciences. You’ll stay for two nights in the nearby four-star Barcelo Hotel. Your stay also includes a meal at the popular La Lola Restaurant, famous for its authentic Spanish cuisine, entry to Bioparc, Valencia’s unique natural zoo, and a guided tour around the old city centre with Green Tour.'

WOW!!!!!!

I will certainly be posting about all of this when I arrive back. Me and one of my best friends, Sam, fly out on Saturday 20th October and I can't flipping wait! As a POOR student, I didn't think I'd be having a holiday again for a long, long time. So I thank The Daily Mail from the bottom of my heart!

Other recent prizes during August have consisted of:

Garnier Summer Body Lotion

Cadbury Bubbles Chocolate Bar

JOHNSON’S Exfoliating Wash

I will write a post soon with some comping tips in it for people who are interested. These include details of applications which you can download to Google Chrome to make the whole entering process easier and quicker.

Good bye for now! Have a lovely Friday night.

Waiting...

Whilst I'm waiting for my course to start at college (and I'm job hunting), I've been entering lots of random competitions, mostly through the Money Saving Expert forums (the people on there are amazing)! There's the dedicated competition thread where people list all of the competitions, noting the end date too which I find really helpful.

A few months back when I entered a few competitions, I won the following items:

A Philips Sonicare AirFloss - £99.99

I am loving using this product, as oral healthcare is a biggie to me. Your teeth will only last as long as you care for them and look after them. If I hadn't of won this item, I probably wouldn't have paid £100 for it (spending that much on something I don't *NEED* is heart breaking!), but I'm certainly glad I won it and use it every evening before I go to bed. You can feel the difference and I'm sure my teeth are healthier for it. I may review this product in full at a later date.

A 200ml Bottle of Fenjal Classic Creme Bath Oil - £12.49

I seem to associate this product with older people, but after using it, I can honestly say it's lush! The smell is divine and lingers on your skin for a long time. It also leaves my body feeling lovely and soft. As a poor student, I probably wouldn't be able to fork out over £12 for a bath oil, but it's lovely as a treat.

AND - A Collection 2000 Skyscraper Mascara - £3.99

LOVE this mascara and so glad I won it! I never normally would have tried a Collection 2000 mascara as I usually like No 7 ones, but this is really, really good. I love the wand, it's easy to apply and it's an absolute bargain!

Over the last few weeks, I have taken again to entering lots of competitions and I seem to have been on a bit of a roll with my wins and have won a few amazing things. I will leave you to wonder what these are, and will post about them tomorrow. I love to keep you hanging on!!! Think a lovely city break, smellies, clothing...

Take care,

Laura xx
