I've been blogging for a while now and have been lucky enough to get some fantastic readers whose comments make me think, laugh or just generally feel warm and fuzzy inside. Dear readers, I would like to thank all of you by holding a brand spanking new giveaway filled (mostly) with things that you just can't get in the shops. Astound your friends and make your enemies seethe with envy at... The Licentiate goody bag!
Nice, isn't it? Unfortunately, I have yet to learn how to edit photos. Drumroll please...
Item One: A London Fashion Week tote bag, made by Mulberry. This was given out to all the press/buyers/etc who attended Fashion Week this past September. It's 100% exclusive and not sold in the shops, which didn't stop some people from selling theirs at exorbitant prices on eBay. It has a picture of a cute bunny peeping out of an Alexa bag. It is also a little bit wrinkly, but I'll get rid of the wrinkles, I promise.
Item Two: A bottle of Barry M Instant Nail Effects, the cult crackle nail varnish that is sold out EVERYWHERE and flies out of Boots pretty much the minute it's put on the shelves. Paint it on over your varnish and watch it crack before your very eyes.
Item Three: A pristine, never read copy of Face Forward by Kevyn Aucoin. Possibly the best make-up book ever written. This book is for every skin colour, doesn't tell you to buy expensive brand products and shows you haw to create exceptional looks and (my favourite part) transforms celebrities into other famous women with only the power of makeup. See pic above - that's Liza Minnelli as Marylin Monroe. You can also see Christina Ricci as Edith Piaf, Gena Rowlands as Ava Gardner, Karen Elson as Elizabeth I... the list goes on and on and on. It's such a great book to have and to share.
Item Four: Some postcards and a guide for The Enchanted Palace Exhibition in Kensington Palace. If you live in London and haven't gone, please go now. Walk, don't run. I'll wait here. You can't buy the guide in the shops as it's only given to those who attend the exhibition, but here's one that is unblemished by my fair hand and ready for you to scribble all over (or stick to your fridge, whatever works).
Now don't say I'm not good to you.
HOW TO ENTER
Here comes the tricky part.
There's one day left, so I'm going to make it so much easier to enter. Become a follower on Google Friend connect in the bar on the left, then leave a comment in the comment box. You can follow on twitter or facebook for extra entries, just let me know in the comments! - easy peasy! Merry Christmas all!
2. Mention this giveaway in your next blog post (just tack it on to a post if you'd like - but if you want to devote a whole post to it, that's no harm)! Then leave a link in the comments section of this post.
3. For an extra entry, follow me on twitter and tweet about this giveaway, then leave a separate comment on this post!
4. If you don't have a blog or a twitter, then become a follower (see step 1) just click 'like' on the brand spanking new Licentiate page on Facebook, recommend it to your friends and post a link to the giveaway (this will also work as a third entry if you so wish). Then leave a comment at the end of this post.
There. Easy peasy.
NOTE: This competition is open worldwide (even if postage will cripple me financially). You must be a follower to enter. The closing date for entry is midnight on Christmas Eve GMT (ooh, festive). I will never, ever share contact information or email my followers with spam or third party junk or annoying offers (but feel free to email me with any questions you might have). The winner will be determined by a random draw, to be chosen by an independent adjudicator.
GOOD LUCK!
