It’s Birthday Giveaway Time!

May 18th, 2012

Remember when I said I was collecting up some nice things for a birthday giveaway? Well, I’m now officially another year older so here it is: The Great Birthday Giveaway 2012.

I am not exaggerating when I say that this afternoon I looked at the goodies, and thought about stealing them all and running away (although technically I don’t think it’s stealing if you have actually bought the things yourself?).  Instead I was strong and took a little picture and packed them away in their fun stripey bag.

Without further ado, here’s the swag:

In no particular order, it includes:

  • Sally Hansen nail polish strips in Raise A Glass
  • e.l.f. studio blush in Tickled Pink
  • a packet of Rainbow  Nerds
  • O.P.I. Avojuice handcream in Mango
  • lovely pink berry scented candle
  • Maybelline Shine Sensational lipgloss in Freshly Sliced
  • 12 silicon cupcake baking cups (I have these exact ones)
  • Australis Lash Length Extensions Mascara
  • Natio Advanced Lifting and Firming Serum
  • “Make Cleansing Pad” which is essentially a little face exfoliator/massager

That, my friends, is over $100 worth of prize goodness.  I like to think there’s a little bit of something for everyone in that prize too. I’ve chosen these things because they are things I have used or currently own, and like.  Particular faves are the handcream, the silicon baking cups, and the cleansing pad.

Of course, there have to be Rules.  The rules here are simple:  leave a comment below with a suggestion for a product we could review, or a place we could visit, or something else we could write about here at PPP that would float your boat, and you get an entry.

The contest is open to everyone (including any international chums).  You can enter multiple times (as long as you make different suggestions each time).  I will be quality-controlling for stupid or redundant suggestions e.g. “you should go to the moon and eat a cupcake LOLZ!!!1!!!!11!!” will not be counted. Although I would love to go to the moon and eat some red velvet deliciousness, I cannot.

The contest will close on 31 May 2012 at which time I will use a random number generator courtesy of the internet to choose a winner.  All outcomes are final and we won’t enter into correspondence blah blah etc.

Yay! Get suggesting below!

Pink your sink with Sunlight

October 3rd, 2010
Sunlight prize pack

That's a whole lot of cleaning

You know how all kinds of deodorants and other beauty products release special pink editions in October to raise money for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation? Turns out it’s not just about getting you clean, but also your dishes.

One of New Zealand’s most iconic household brands, Sunlight, has turned pink and joined the fight against breast cancer with the release of its new limited edition Pink Grapefruit Dishwashing Liquid. Not only does Sunlight Pink Grapefruit Dishwashing Liquid have a gorgeous fresh and lingering citrus fragrance, it gets your dishes squeaky clean at an affordable price.

Now Sunlight has joined forces with The New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation (NZBCF) with proceeds of every bottle sold going to the Foundation. So what are you waiting for? Pull on your rubber gloves, pink your sink by purchasing limited edition Sunlight Pink Grapefruit Dishwashing Liquid today and support the NZBCF.

Sunlight is proudly made in New Zealand and is available in supermarkets nationally, for around $2.89 for 500ml.

And now that we have quoted the press release, it’s time for you to do the washing up. We’ve got three Sunlight ‘Pink Your Sink’ prize packs valued at $75 to give away.

Prize pack contains:
  • Sunlight Pink Grapefruit Dishwashing Liquid 500ml x 3
  • Sunlight Lemon Dishwashing Liquid 500ml x 2

  • Huggie Ultra Fabric Softener 500ml x 2
  • This great prize also comes with a bundle of beautiful pink cotton tea towels, 2x pink dish cloths and a pair of fun washing up gloves.

Fun washing-up gloves! They’d probably bring in a whole new element of colour to cavity search games too. So in order to win, what I want you to do is leave me a colour pun in the comments. If you can pink your sink, what else can you do? You have from now til next Sunday to win.

Because this is a big heavy box worth of goodness, the competition is only open to Wellington residents, sorry.

Memories Soap and Lotion set

Let me make up for radio silence on my part by offering up a chance to win some lovely prizes, thanks to the always-generous Linden Leaves.  We’ve got gift sets of the Aromatherapy Synergy range up for grabs:

Four unique fragrances compile the Aromatherapy Synergy range using natural blends and each with their own characteristics:
Memories – a blend of rose, geranium and ylang ylang; in love again- a sensual blend of neroli, vanilla and sandalwood, pick me up – a rejuvenating blend of mandarin, petitgrain, rosemary and lavender and absolute dreams – a mellow blend of lavender, sandalwood, cedarwood and orange.
Each set contains a body lotion which is easily absorbed and formulated with sweet almond oil for pure hydration, and keeps skin feeling soft and nourished. A gentle vegetable soap enriched with certified organic rosehip and avocado oils, each variant has its own unique scented blends and is packaged in a beautifully artworked soap box.
Enter the competition today to be in the draw to win one of four beautiful Linden Leaves Aromatherapy Synergy soap and lotion sets. We’ve got one in each scent, so because it’ll be hard for you to choose which one you want, we’ll make the competition part real easy. Just leave us a comment telling us which fragrance you want, by Wednesday June 10. That way, you’ll get your prize in time for my birthday, which, for your information is June 17, and you can think of me when you smell yourself. Awesome.

Pretty pretty people: Meg from Durvillea Wines

December 2nd, 2009

Pretty Pretty Pretty is obviously a beauty blog, but it’s also a site on which we can write about the awesome women who inspire us, and our friends who are doing great work. One such family who exemplify all that we find fascinating are the ladies behind Durvillea Wines.

You might have met Meg at one of our Pretty Pretty Parties, and tried the Durvillea Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio she so generously brought along for us. I decided it was time to have a chat to her to find out all about her family. Doing that involved drinking more of the sav, which is of course a difficult thing to do on a sunny afternoon with tasty snacks and good company, but for the sake of you dear reader, I suffered through that horror… » Read more: Pretty pretty people: Meg from Durvillea Wines
