Beauty Expert, LookFantastic Exclusive Beauty Box Collections Feb '19

Vegan Renu X   Thursday, February 07, 2019

In February 2019, two exclusive beauty boxes are launching. These are not monthly subscriptions, but one-off seasonal curations that contain only full-sized products, and are worth a lot more than the asking price.
The first is the Beauty Expert Collection - The Vegan Edition, with fully #veganbeauty products.
The second one is LookFantastic's Rose Collection for Valentine's Day, where all products are rose-themed.
The Beauty Expert Vegan Collection costs £80 and is worth £180+, while the LookFantastic Valentine's Day box costs £60 and is worth more than £150. Both ship worldwide.

First Makeup Giveaway Of 2019 Open Worldwide

First Makeup Giveaway Of 2019 Open Worldwide

Makeup Renu X   Tuesday, January 29, 2019

As promised earlier, here's the very first giveaway of 2019. A bit late, given that my blogiversary went by without a whimper. As I said, the year hasn't had the best of starts for me, with a massive health scare for my Dad (multiple clots in brain, odontoid fracture, and peripheral neuropathy). We're hoping and praying that things resolve soon, so please do bear with me.
As though that wasn't enough, I ended up with wheat exposure, and landed in the ER for the first time since August. Cue hydrocort and antihistamine shots, and now there's acne to boot, as a result of the former. Ah well.
Anyway. Giveaway. Prizes first. ONE winner gets everything in the photograph below.

Holiday 2018 Giveaway Results+ Giveaway Announcements

Holiday 2018 Giveaway Results+ Giveaway Announcements

Giveaway Renu X   Monday, January 14, 2019

The first thing to do is apologise to you for being AWOL on this blog. Without going into a sob-story, or airing my laundry here, 2019 hasn't had the greatest of starts for me. And, just when I thought life was beginning to look up in the second week, my Dad ends up diagnosed with multiple brain clots, peripheral neuropathy, and an odontoid fracture. Hopefully, things will improve as the year progresses.
Which is why I was not only AWOL, but also late with these results.
Now, before I tell you the results, here's the plan for the next couple of giveaways. I have a fabulous, fun beauty-themed 2019 year planner that I got as a GWP from The Face Shop (no, it's BIG, not small) - I got two as I had two skincare hauls - to give away first. That giveaway goes live within a couple of hours of this post, but will end in two weeks, because you want your 2019 planner sooner rather than later. Trust me, it is a seriously fun planner and a must-have for every beauty junkie!
There will obviously be a makeup giveaway for my blogiversary, but it starts in the last week of January (depending on my schedule) - so do stay tuned for that. Hint: Hello Kitty is involved!
Right. Now that I've whetted your appetites, let's get on with the results of the Holiday 2019 giveaway.
Drumroll.....

Enough rambling! Let's go jump into all the excitement, for this, right here is your ULTIMATE Black Friday 2018 Shopping Guide!

NOTICE: I had not noticed that this post was accidentally published instead of being saved to drafts on Thursday, while it was being written. Thankfully, none of the codes or offers was leaked, BUT you may have seen badly written notes for products and retailer names, which must have made NO sense. The error is regretted.

Autumn Makeup Giveaway 2018 Results

Autumn Makeup Giveaway 2018 Results

Renu X   Sunday, November 11, 2018

Before anything else - today marks the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War One, and the signing of the Armistice. Thirty-two men from my Gramps's village went out to fight, in 1914. Only thirty-one returned. The War touched every corner of the globe, in one way or the other. This, for me, is a moment to remember the fallen, and to pledge to do what we can to bring about peace and avoid war. We will remember.

Right. On to less solemn things. Giveaways. I have my Holiday giveaway starting out today, in a bit. I also have the results of the Autumn Giveaway. I know some of you were quite impatient for this one; my apologies - I went through the entries in five days, which is a bit of a record for me, TBH!

A couple of things to get out of the way:

• If I do not hear back in 48 hours, I will choose another winner.  
• Once I hear from the winner, I will post as soon as possible - within the same week, depending on when I get nip out to the PO.
• If the post office tells me I cannot ship something among these, I will have to replace them with other makeup products.
• International postal systems are now cautious, so there could be delays of eight weeks or more since each postal system and customs tends to examine everything multiple times. Also, as I found out last time, there WILL be delays if there's inclement weather, tsunamis, or any kind of incident as well.
• Your prize will be sent either tracked/recorded/signed-for, with proof of postage.
• I am not responsible for duties, surcharges and other taxes or if the product is damaged, delayed or lost in the post. All I can do is offer my sympathy and commiserations.
• If the prize is lost in the post, I'll be sad and can give you the proof of postage and tracking details, but that is all.

Now let's get to the pleasant stuff - the winner!

Space NK The Party Piece Christmas Crackers GWP 2018 Available Worldwide

SpaceNK Renu X   Thursday, November 01, 2018

Space NK's Holiday 2018 Gift With Purchase is here - the Party Piece - and it is worth more than £500! Like last year's Holiday GWP, this one is also in the form of 12 lovely Christmas crackers, and there is a Space NK Gift Card, like last year!
You can view last year's Party Piece Christmas Crackers set here. 
Unlike last year's 26 products, this year's GWP has a whopping 31 freebies - in addition to the gift card. Last year, the purchase threshold to be eligible for the GWP was £250. This year, it is £300.
You can open each cracker on every other day during Advent, or keep these for the 12 days of Christmas, right up to Epiphany! Or, like me, rip 'em up the moment they arrive.
This gift is entirely yours for free with purchase of products worth £300 from Space NK - both online and in-store. Use code PARTY18 at checkout, and it is added to your cart. The GWP ships worldwide; some items inside may not be allowed on air; those will be replaced by other products of similar value.
