It's Birthday Giveaway Time!
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 g
oodies, 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!

Just the thing for winter…
Shuella presents the shoe-umbrella. RRP: $US49.95 + free international shipping. 4 colours to choose from.
This quote from flossie.com:
More often than not, a gorgeous pair of heels or boots were not designed for walking in puddles, or running through a downpour. That’s why American, Rebecca Miller invented the Shuella. A plastic over-bootie, that does up with Velcro and keeps your shoes (including high heels) safe from splashes. Available in bright statement colours (buttercup yellow, pink, green) or the more subtle black, the Shuella eliminates the need for a second pair of more practical shoes, and folds up into your carry bag and slips into your bag when you reach your destination.
You can win a pair of your very own by leaving a comment at the bottom of flossies’ post.
Herbalist Facial Care Pack – review AND giveaways!
As you may have heard, we’re having a bit of a party next Saturday, and so the lovely Lou sent us some Linden Leaves products to help us celebrate. Not one set, or two, oh no. We have TEN full sets each valued at $31 to give away at our party. Except that I decided that’s not really all that fair, since not all of our readers are in Wellington, so we’re going to give five packs away to people who can’t make it to the party, and we’ll give the other five packs away on the night.
Natural cleansing and hydration in a smartly boxed set. Ideal for on-board travel or as a starter, this kit contains three 20 ml bottles of herbalist cream cleanser, toning reviver and daily facial moisture, neatly boxed together with two spatulas.
Admittedly, one of the packs has been broken into so that I could provide a proper review. In fact, took it up to Tauranga with me because it’s totally perfect for travel – just a little bit bigger than a tampon case, you can just throw it into your suitcase and not have to worry if you forgot your cleanser or your moisturiser. The creme cleanser is really soft and gentle, definitely the kind of thing you could use every day. The moisturiser is quite light, with a delicate scent. I need to be responsible and point out here that it doesn’t have an SPF in it, so you would need to either only use this at night (which is the optimum time for cleansing away your day anyway) or wear it with additional sunscreen. I have never been much for using toner, but tonight I was taking a bath, so I had the great idea of cleansing before the bath, and since i knew I’d come out feeling a little greasy again from the steam, toning afterwards. It worked great, and my skin is now feeling taut and smooth and soft. That’s how we like it.
So, if you want to win, and you live outside Wellington, leave us a comment telling us what we should do at our party. What fun game or activity do you think we’ve failed to consider? And if you want to win and you live in Wellington, as well as party game suggestion, we need to hear your excuse as to why you can’t make it. Entries should be in by 5pm Saturday April 18. And if you ARE coming to the party, we’ll see you then!
