Cosplay & Instagram Giveaway :D (Makeup)

Hi guys :D

So, I have an Instagram Giveaway going on right now on @beautyandfrogs for makeup items that's more specifically geared toward everyday makeup lovers.

You can join that one right here (it's international):

@beautyandfrogs Instagram Giveaway

For the Instagram Giveaway

Now, for the Cosplay one, it's not fabric or anything, but it's makeup.
Basics.

Well, basics without the base and eyeliner.

I have a lot of extras and backups and I realised that I might as well give it away.
Rather than let it not be used.

You wanna win this?

What you'll win:

- MUA Great Lips Lip Balm (it's a nude colour, so it can cancel out your lip colour a bit)

- MUA Pressed Powder in Shade 3

- essence Stay Natural Concealer in 01 Soft Beige (can use for highlighting your nose, etc.)

- Etude House Eyeshadow in Vanilla Cream

- Kate Eyebrow Mascara in Light Brown (use to lighten your brows, I like to do this before colouring my eyebrows a different colour to match the wig)

The value for this is about BND30 (the eyebrow mascara's pricy lol)

So you'll still need to buy a sponge/brush for the powder and you can find some nice black liners from Paloma.

--

Uhm, since I'm not technically a cosplayer (but I love looking at local cosplay pics courtesy of N.E Project), I'm not sure how I can make this work lol.

But you see, I love singing and I haven't posted any of my original releases online because it's a bit hard. I am working on some songs but I haven't recorded the vocals yet.

So in return, I guess, to be entered...

Here are the rules:

1) "Like" my page (no spamming, I promise): N!SA

2) Leave a comment here that you entered, and what your FB username is.

3) Giveaway will close on the 3rd of December and I will PM* you on FB if you win (will probably take 2 days to draw the winner)

4) Winner will be chosen randomly.

5) Open only to those who reside in Brunei.

*It might be on your "Others" folder, so look out for it on the 5th or so.

I might even add some extras once I know who the winner is.


Okay, that's it :)
Goodluck! Hopefully the winner will be able to use the items for their cosplay.

'til then, take care!

Giveaway + Collective Haul (SaSa, Etude House, Luxola, Tony Moly, etc.)

This is my long delayed collective haul.
It got really long because I didn't expect to have so many things!!

I really underestimate myself sometimes.
Underestimate my ability to shop I mean.

Since university started, I just can't divide time anymore but thankfully I managed to do a lot of things yesterday/today.

After this I'm just gonna collapse and sleep!!





I am not happy that my double chin is back BUT HEY, I have no time to exercise, but have a lot of time eating out LOL

I would add the product photos (some) maybe later.

Blame the Post Office (Giveaway Sneak Peek)

Haha, well, actually it's also procrastinating, but mostly it's the post office's fault!
I swear.

I mean, the reason why I'm taking my sweet time with the collective haul video is because the post office loves to marinate my packages! Always! It's annoying, especially if the tracking says "Arrived on the 2nd of January", the card was stamped on the 8th, but it was sent on the 15th. WHAT.

How stupid!! UGH.

Well yeah, I was waiting for three packages before I wanna do my haul.
But eh.

What made it worse, also, was that one of my cards was MISSENT. Can you believe that??? I just feel so over with the postal system here.

Anyway, I'll try and do the video tomorrow after uni, and do the damn giveaway.

Here's the stuff I waited for:

Waiting like hell for these.

I'll do the breakdown in the video somehow.

Maybe.

I can't trust myself.

Also:

For the giveaway.

It's nothing much to be honest, unlike my past giveaways maybe? There's no totally high-end stuff in here lol

See?

I'll add a few more things.

But hopefully I'll have this up soon omg ;-;

I'm so sorry for neglecting my blog.

Since I went back to uni, it's just, I can't seem to divide time well.

I need to take pics for reviews too, and trying out this product.

I'm actually chapping my lips for it.

Yes, I am that dedicated because I don't normally have chapped lips unless it's like last year.

ARGH.

Until they bleed....but stupid me didn't take pics.

Also quite busy with the cats ;-; like, yesterday, was so busy because of them.

So yeah, hopefully I'll record the collective haul and giveaway next week.

NEXT WEEK!!

'til then, take care!!

(Belated) 50,000 Hits Giveaway :D

To celebrate the 1st of October, let's do my belated 50,000 Hits Giveaway!
I feel sooooo silly for actually getting too lazy to run a friggin' giveaway.
It's kinda bittersweet because it's gonna be the last one in a while...

Anyways, thank you for helping me reach that many hits. Sure, it's not much, but considering how I've been lazy to blog, reaching 50k was surprising.

I'll have the next giveaway once I reach 100k or have 100 followers on either Bloglovin' or the GFC circle. That'd be a long time though lol. I have time to collect money ( ;w; )

One lucky winner will get these!

Yes, only ONE winner for this one.

What you'll be winning:

- theBalm Shady Lady in 'Mischievous Marissa': I've always wanted to give this away to one lucky reader because it's my favourite shade. It's also not included in any of the Shady Lady Palettes :D (I think so lol *EDIT: I take that back, it's in a special edition palette now LOL [and apparently Vol.2 wtf lol]*) and it's a universally flattering shade. It's quite a big pan (3.4g of product)

- Tony Moly Slim Lipstick in 'Beige (BE01)': I honestly wanted to give the PK01, the same shade I have but the shop didn't carry it. I settled with this one and it should be flattering on anyone compared to the bright pink I had in mind! I really love this lipstick.

- HaruHada Bee Lovely Lip Balm: I don't like the scent myself, but once you put it on, you can't really smell it. It has cute packaging though! Best used while you're prepping your face for makeup :)

- IN2IT Waterproof Gel Liner in 'Dark Brown': I've said it in my haul before, I have too many browns. I have the black one and it's honestly a good eye liner. Doesn't tug on your eyelid, it's quite creamy. Best used smudged I believe.

- TheFaceShop Real Nature Mask in 'Pomegranate': My sis's recommendation. Brightens your face!

- AmisQue Candy Bead Collection in 'Bumblebee': A cute bracelet set that I think anyone can wear!

- Tony Moly Petit Bunny Gloss Bar in 'Juicy Apple' OR 'Juicy Orange': I have one in 'Neon Yellow'! I chose these designs because they were quite cute. Juicy Apple is the winking bunny and Juicy Orange is the angry bunny :D

Let's hope it's a good one.
I might not have a cake because I'll be going to KL the next day...don't wanna waste a good cake, you see.

Still dunno where to eat too, but I'm hoping to release my single (long delayed >_>) ON my birthday.
It would mean a lot if I'm able to :)


It's an important song to me.

We Got a Winner!

We got one out of the two possible winners for my Counting Down to 22 Giveaway !!

And the winner is~

GFC: Tea

This is her winning screenshot :D

Thanks Tea for the screenshot!

I'll be mailing her prizes when I've got them ready!

She's already given her address to me :D

But don't worry!

You still have another chance for the '22222' shot!

Remember, first come, first serve!

When you got the screenshot, immediately email it!

You can read the rules on the giveaway post !

Be a GFC follower or a Bloglovin' follower (or both if you want to), that's the most important part!

184 views until '22222' btw :D

Will this be before my birthday?

We'll see!

Take care, good luck and congratulations again to Tea!

Counting Down to 22 Giveaway~

Okay, so my birthday's on the 20th of March right?
Yes.

That's right.

I'll be turning 22 (I think so)

So, here's the deal.


I was waiting for my giveaway gifts to arrive but it hasn't so instead, since I'm going to KL on the 21st, I'll buy the gift there (and maybe still hope that the other gifts arrive!)

So, how do you participate?

This one is fairly simple.


If anyone can get a screen-cap of my blog view count, at either 22000, or 22222, they'll get a gift from me :)

What's the gift? It's a surprise.
So yeah, there'll be two winners, should two people manage to get both '22000' and '22222'.


This is the example of the screen-cap:

I want it like this, with the map also.

It's first come, first serve kind of thing.

The first one to email me the screen-caps will be the winners :)

Should no one actually get it, unfortunately there'd be no winners.

Simple.
But I'll have one giveaway in April, don't worry!

So, rules:

1) Be a PUBLIC GFC (Google-Friend Connect) follower of my blog OR follow my blog via Bloglovin' (Either both, or one of them is fine)

2) Send me a screen-cap like the one shown to my e-mail: nurulhanisah203@gmail.com

3) With the screen-cap, tell me your GFC name or Bloglovin' follower number or name.

4) Go to my blog anytime to increase your chances of winning and getting that screencap!!

5) Remember, the first one to email me the screencap/s wins!

6) And no, don't even think of Photoshopping it LOL. I would know.

7) Anyone can join this (even past winners) and Good luck :D

I'm kinda excited for this lol.
Obviously, '22000' is easier to get than the other one.

But hey, patience would mean you'll get a better gift ;D

Okay then, goodluck!

Take care.

-Nisah-

Giveaway Winners :D

Okay, so my giveaway has ended :)

It took me a while to sort out the entries, removing those who didn't follow the rules.
To be fair, I wanted everyone to win, but that's a bit hard, right?

Winners are posted on the giveaway page itself, you can click here to check.
Or you can also click here, which is the Giveaway Tab.

I've already contacted them via e-mail, to be fair to everyone, I'm giving them 3 days to contact me back, if they don't, unfortunately they would have to forfeit the prizes ):

But good news for those who did not win, they'll get another chance during the raffle!!

Check the Giveaway Tab in 3 days, to see who has claimed the prizes and who had to forfeit theirs.

If their e-mail is somehow invalid then that is very unfortunate!

I want to be fair, so please, those who had to forfeit (Hopefully they would not have to), please don't take it to heart. You can have another chance to win next time.

The winners who live in my country, good news for you is that you'll be able to get your prizes faster. The winners who don't will have to wait for me to contact them when I have sent the prizes (I think Brunei only ships outside via EMS, so it won't take that long)


Again, congratulations to the winners and to those who did not win, don't worry, I'm having a small giveaway in February and a big one again, during my birthday in March :)

Take care everyone!

-Nisah-

My New Year's + 10,000 Hits Giveaway!

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! It's 2013 now by the time I'm posting this!
1/1/13, yes, no more 2012.

Did the world end? Nope. LOL.

I'm happy to announce that my blog has reached 10k views about a month ago or so~

I honestly didn't expect it to be so soon as I have prepared my New Year's Giveaway in advanced. So to celebrate that, I had decided to hold a giveaway with SIX winners!

Yes, you read that right, there will be six winners for this one. Excited?
I sure am!

It's honestly really just a small giveaway, appreciating that people take the time to visit my small blog with lots of rambling and stuff, I can't deny it's mostly about hauls and really little reviews :/ I originally made this blog for reviews, so excuse me for that.

Anyway, on with the prizes :D

Reading feedback, I'm sure not everyone is interested to win makeup as much as I thought they would, so this time, there will be two separate Rafflecopters :)

So, for the Makeup Version, we have:

Set A

MUA Cosmetics Pretty Pastels Palette + Lipstick in Shade 16, Nectar 

This palette is for pastel lovers who are not only into pastels but some neutrals too, with 12 gentle shades to choose from, you can't go wrong with this. It comes with dual-ended sponge tip applicators. With this, a very bright shade of lipstick called Nectar is included. Just dab it on for a bright pop of colour with your pastel eyes!

Set B

MUA Cosmetics Poptastic Palette + Lipstick in Shade 15, Juicy 

For those who crave for a pop of colour every time, you can't go wrong with this palette. The dominant shades are blues and greens but in between, you have pretty pops of yellow and pink and even red!! If you're unsure of these, you can always use them to line your eyes and give a nice pop of colour, paired with your beautiful lipstick in Juicy!

Set C

MUA Cosmetics Glamour Days Palette + Lipstick in Shade 14, Bare 

Specially for people who love smokey and neutral eye looks, this palette is for you! Not only that, the lipstick it comes with is nude and can be put on sheer or opaque depending on the style you go with. Be it neutrals or smokey, this palette has all. Even a blue and a green! You can't go wrong with this!

If you wanna join the makeup portion, just fill in this Rafflecopter:

a Rafflecopter giveaway


For the Miscellaneous Version, we have:

Set A

Hair Accessory & Bangles

This is for the girls who like to prettify themselves with accessories. The bangle would fit most fashion and the best thing is, it's detachable! You can either use them all, or use them separately depending on your clothes! As for the hair-clips, it's either girly or chic, it's up to you!

Set B

3 Nailpolishes and 2 Nailart Stickers

For nail lovers, you will get 1 blue nailpolish from Etude House and 2 beautiful girly and sophisticated colours from sasatinnie! With that, you can also decorate your nails with two kinds of nailart stickers, one that comes in pink and the other comes in black. What would you choose?

Set C

Clinelle Travel Kit for Normal to Oily Skin

This travel kit comes with a cleanser, a toner, a moisturizer and even an eye product! It's small enough to carry around, and big enough for you to sample if it fits your skin or not. I chose this because it's very friendly for the skin, but those who choose this must be sure your skin fits the normal to oily category! This is suitable for those with problem skin.

To join this, just fill in this Rafflecopter:

a Rafflecopter giveaway


....and that's it!

Do you want to win these??

Makeup Version

Miscellaneous Version

I'm so sorry but this is to give someone a fair chance to win also.

You will be able to join in two months time :) so no worries there.

Important Rules:

1) Leave a comment down below answering the question stated in the widget! (They're to do with resolutions!)
2) This giveaway is for my blog readers, so you'd need to follow my blog via GFC! (This is not mandatory for the Miscellaneous Version but is much appreciated!)
3) The rest are optional but it really does give you a fair chance to win!

Other Rules:

2) If you unfollow my blog should you not win, I will have to blacklist you ):

Much love,

-Nisah-

P.S: The winner for my December Giveaway has been announced, is it you?

Help Me Win! (And You'll Get Something Good in Return)

I joined this giveaway by a local makeup artist, Ash Make Up Artist.
She works at Tony Moly Brunei and is SJ's go-to MUA when she cosplays :)

SJ is a local cosplayer we have here in Brunei, support her and her sisters/and friends by liking their fanpage: Nutty Project 

I have to say, Ash does a great job on cosplays!
Especially during the recent EACON (I didn't go btw!)

ANYWAY:

I joined a giveaway to win one of NYX's Palettes (I believe it's the NYX Makeup Artist Kit):

I have my eye on this due to the contouring powder choices! 

I have a hard time finding the perfect contour powder ( =3= )

So yeah, this is how you can help me:

1) Go to Ash's profile and add her as a friend. She'll approve, don't worry.

2) Go here: Photo Entry and LIKE the photo.

3) Lastly: Comment Entry and LIKE my comment by N Hani Sa.

Now, here's the catch :)

Or rather, the good part.

IF I win this palette (I really want it because I honestly have never used NYX's eyeshadows, I kept procrastinating on getting them AND I really want the contour/highlight tray so bad too) and only IF, lol

I will giveaway a goody-bag filled with items that I love and adore (maybe minus some face products because it's hard to make sure it fits you) and that'll include theBalm, Color Combos, some of the Korean brands (Etude House, Tony Moly, etc.) and maybe some others ;p

Unfortunately only one will win this one :(

HOWEVER, I do have a New Year's Giveaway coming up and that one will have a total of 6 winners :)

So yeah, help me win? :D

Yes, it's a giveaway to help me win a giveaway. How funny XD

Anyway, wish me luck (I know my photo entry is hobo-like, here, lemme give you a preview)

I tried my best to show the proper skintone but it's hard D: 

I doubt anyone would want a tutorial on this but if you want, just holler yeah? lol

And this is my comment entry:

Really desperate sounding LOL

But yeah, help me out ;)

I really, really wanna giveaway one of my favourite eyeshadow bases ever, which is theBalm's Creaseless Cream Shadows, so help me win!

Take care, all!

-Nisah-

Let's DYE...

....it blood red.

Or rather, die trying to!

*LONG POST AHEAD BTW*

So yeah, been losing the will to blog, I have a lot in mind but too lazy to blog I guess. Feel moody here and there, unfortunately. I was gonna do a blog about how happier I am now but that's down the drain somehow.

I'm gonna go on a trip from the 21st until the 25th I think, to KK :)
I can already hear the flapping of the wings from my money~

Anyway~ Let's do a quick update before I move on to the title of the blogpost.

First thing's first:

I won this giveaway hosted by NYX Cosmetics Brunei for The Spring Fling Palette (retails there for BND$49.90 I think). BTW, right now Shop@Sarah's is having a 20% sale on NYX (and apparently an additional 5% for members) and no, I'm not paid to say this XD just telling you guys out there~

Also sale on their Urban Decay, Sigma, TooFaced, etc. Until January 13th. I'm debating on getting the Vice Palette. SO MUCH that I sold my 120 Palette to my lil' sis for BND$7 LOL.

As much as I'd like to buy from Shop@Sarah's, the online shopper in me does know they kinda mark up the price quite high. But well, if you want to try US makeup (other than the usual drugstore ones), that's the only place for you to go :) I'll buy from them if I really can't find it online anymore I guess.

So here is my derpy photo for 800+ people to see on their page:

I'm happy, okay?? Just tired.

Yes, this was around the time I hauled Tony Moly and Paloma I think. I THINK. When I went out with Moo Moo and Mars XD

I didn't wear any eye makeup that day, just face makeup.

Anyway, I gave this palette to my cousin. I actually joined so she could get it. It was either her or my other friend. Decided to give it to her but I found out after that she rarely wears eyeshadow (Yes, I know you're reading dear. Wear it often!!)

I'll have her review it on behalf of me :)

It's a very pretty palette. When it was in my hands, I looked at it with tears in my eyes LOL.

So Pretty!!!

A less tired/derpy photo of me and the palette.

Yes, I was very tired.

My order from Makeup Academy or MUAStore came :D

This order was made during their 35% off + Free Shipping around November. It arrived in Brunei around December 1st but I only got it like, last week? I think so.

Only 4 out of these 6 are mine.

I think you can figure it out by now, what the three palettes and the three lipsticks are for.

Yes, it's for a giveaway. But I will only announce it once I get back from KK.

The one that I hauled for MYSELF:

- MUA Heaven and Earth Palette
- MUA Matte Foundation in Gentle Fawn
- MUA Lipstick in Bare
- MUA Bronzer in Shade 3

So far, I love all of them!!
I've only tried the foundation once, I don't think it contains any SPF but I might be wrong. The reason why I got the Heaven and Earth Palette is because it's really ME in a palette.

It's bronze, gold, browns, taupe and some lighter shades. Perfection for me.

The bronzer is nice, comparing it to my Holika Holika and Etude House "bronzers"/contour powder.

The Bare lipstick is....very,very nude. I look like a zombie if I don't have any makeup on, but with makeup, it's perfect.

My other order from MUA that I sent to my sis in the UK also arrived but eh, I don't wanna post the photo LOL.

My order from Cherry Culture hasn't arrived D:

Other hauls I got:

My acne was acting up so yeah.

The BB Cream shown here is SPF-free!! OAO

Brought my friend out to shopping and I hauled stuff too.

I'll say TheFaceShop haul was impulse buy but I don't regret buying the eyeliner. No way. I will collect them in KK I think.

The contour/highlight powder from Etude House....hmmm.

Just got the body butter and I am running out of it already.

I. LOVE. IT.

I might just stock on 'em while in KK if they're cheaper there.

I love the herby smell, not so strong but effective. It's made in Thailand. The Body Shop's body butters are also made in Thailand. Go figure.

And lastly, the one I got yesterday~

Ta-da~

Really, Nisah? You're gonna go on vacation and you hauled something again?

Really?
Yes, I did.

I wanted a pore tightening thing but apparently this is more of a serum than a pore tightener. We'll see how it is. I might get the pore tightening one either from Holika Holika or Etude House or somewhere. Anywhere.

Got some DIY stuff from Kim Super Save....

....and that brings us to the title of the post.

DIY DYE.

Okay, so basically nobody wanted to help me so yeah, I just went for it.

First box! Look at the unevenness!! HURRAH.

I was going for blood red but apparently it turned out more auburn than burgundy/blood red.

So I did another layer the next day, and dyed random parts of my bangs and stuff, avoiding the roots (for obvious reasons).

And here it is, with flash:

My sis called me a vampire.

It's overexposed but basically, It's got a mix of orange, red, brown and black.

Weirdly, the reddest parts are the ones that were black.

My dyed ends turned weirdly orange.

AND weirdly, I got....addicted to dyeing.

I'm easily addicted to things, hence I got another box (this time, Cherry Red) and a proper dye brush thingy.

I dunno. I really wanna go full red. I just want to. I dunno.

My maid complained that I'm changing a lot.

Fashion wise, I lost weight, started wearing contacts more often, sleeping weirdly, etc.

She said I'm not originally 'me' anymore.

Well I can't help it.

The old me was always depressed, suicidal, etc.

Does she want that?

Well she got it.

I got kind of depressed the other day.

My look yesterday night.

Is it wrong that I want to look fashionable?

It's not like guys are attracted to me anyway.

I have low self-esteem, why always bring me down?

I just wish people would just let me enjoy being someone else.

Oh yeah, I've been busy taking care of Shyla and two orphaned kittens. Well, when I wake up anyway.

The reason why I need to dye my hair (LOL NO)

Shyla's been well, weird.

She's been acting weird.

She's so high-maintenance I wanna cry D: She's so picky with food.

"I'm Princess Shyla and I love my food soft"

So basically, keeping her, honestly, she eats more than me. Enough said.

The orphan kittens unfortunately, one of them died ):

Mariah, Toby and Marina.

Marina, passed away last week, exactly a week ago I think. Poor girl ):

She didn't want to drink the formula milk.

I had high hopes for her too (man, I'm slightly tearing up) coz she reminded me of Ming Ming.

Pray that Toby and Mariah survives, okay? Please.

I'll be really heartbroken if they die too ):

Been playing this too.

Yes, I'm a girl and I enjoy Call of Duty. Mostly the Zombies portion but hey, I can play XD

If you wanna play online with me, my sis and my bro, do add us on PSN: Silverduan (Highlight to see)

Other than that, I finally tried Gloria Jean's Coffee?

Yummy cake :D I love the muffin particularly!

I had Mint Chocolate Bomb (decaf) and I thought it was okay.

I prefer the Coffee Bean Peppermint Chocolate thingy.

Also bought this!

Bought this due to watching The Yogscast play it.

LOVE IT.

But I haven't been playing as often as I should lol.

It's a good game, it is :)

In a perfect world, I'd give one free code to him....but the world is not perfect.

And last but not least:

GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!

Take care, everyone!

My December Giveaway!!

Since I noticed that a lot of people entered my previous giveaway, I decided to hold a flash giveaway! I don't think it's fair that only one person gets to win so I'm giving another chance for you all to win!

The prizes aren't as fancy as before but it's about the same value :)

All in all, 9 items (including the pouch). The lipstick shown here is mine, I'll get the prize one tomorrow 

You will get all of the items listed on the widget and it will be put into the pouch you will also receive.

The rules are the same as before:

This giveaway is not sponsored. Below are the rules for this giveaway:

1) It is open internationally. 

2) Participants must have permission to share their address as I need it to send the prizes (for international entries and participants not from Brunei Muara, unless we can meet up at Bandar). 

3) Winner will be chosen at random. Should the winner not contact me within 48 hours, he or she will forfeit it and a new winner will be selected, also at random.

4) Giveaway hunters would not be entertained. Unfollowing just as soon as the giveaway ends would result in getting blacklisted.

5) Once I reach a hundred followers, a new giveaway would be announced (This would be a huge one, believe me you :D)

a Rafflecopter giveaway


The only compulsory step this time is to:

- Leave a comment on what items you would prefer for future giveaways

If you want to earn extra entries, feel free to add more entries :D

I don't have swatches of the palette here but the ones I saw online are pretty :) This one is more colourful than the previous one. It has a golden yellow, orange and reddish tone that would look so beautiful as a sunset eyelook! And it also has neutral colours as well.

If you wanna take a look at the palette and swatch, kindly visit this site (I love this blog btw)

As for the lipstick, it's a nice buildable sheer nude that I am loving right now. It doesn't dry up the lips and is moisturizing. It has a slight fruity fragrance to it.

The two masks you will be receiving: a whitening and dead skin removing sheet mask and one is a charcoal pack which is good to deep cleanse your pores. I believe you can use it at least twice or three times, depending on how well you store it.

Okay, so that's it :D

If you're interested in winning these prizes, do join the giveaway!


I have a special giveaway for the New Year's! There will be 2 to 3 winners, depending on the situation! And yes, it WILL be international!

What are you waiting for? Follow my blog to know what it'll be!

Good luck everyone!

P.S: The winner of the previous giveaway has been chosen. Is it you? Do check! Are you the winner?

My 100th Post Giveaway!

Hey everyone :D

It is 4 in the morning right now as I'm typing this, and boy, am I sleepy!
But it's okay because I'm so excited to finally announce my first ever giveaway on my blog!

To be honest, I really wanted to upload my Miri Haul from yesterday but then it's the 100th post! I can't delay posting this giveaway! I'm so excited and so scared at the same time because I don't know how this works!

I'm going to use a widget to make this easier for me! If you're familiar with Rafflecopter, maybe you can do this well.

You see, this giveaway isn't much to be honest. I've collected things around, making sure I like it before I included it. As this is a tester kind of giveaway, I didn't want to giveaway something very extravagant just yet. I love sharing though :) and picking gifts, making sure it's thoughtful.

If I had the extra money, I would have included more things but I guess for now this is fine. If you've read my post before, then you should know I've taken leave from university and am currently trying to get my health in check. This 30th, I'll finally have my colonoscopy and endoscopy. Not really looking forward to it but it's the only way to know what's really wrong!

Anyway, what I really had in mind for my first giveaway were things I really love, but then I decided that I'll keep that for future giveaways :)

So here are the (very modest) prizes:

100th Post Giveaway Prizes

Here are the prizes!

Plus some samples!

Here are the closeups of the bag and some swatches (minus the eyeliner because I won't swatch them)

This is the case:

Adorable isn't it?

This is what the palette and lipstick look like (these are mine, of course):

L.A Colors in Cafe Au Lait

Baviphat Barbie Pet Magic Girls Lipstick in No.8 (forgot the name)

Here are the swatches from the palette (without a primer) and the lipstick:

Under room light. The far right one is of the lipstick.

This is with the flash from my phone.

The pigmentation of the palette is very good surprisingly. The only shade I don't like is the white one but other than that, it's a good neutral palette :) It's compact and you can easily do touch ups. The sponge tip applicator is very rough by the way. Very different from the Asian sponge tips, which are softer. 

As for the hand cream, I find it necessary to have hand cream everywhere you go! I can't live without hand creams when I go out. I'd feel weird! The hair velcro is cute and fashionable and would help keep your stray hair away from the face when you apply makeup!

Okay, now the thing with the eyeliners...

Blue World :O

These are actually from the set my sister got me. However, I did not use it as I also bought something similar. I can't really say much about them except I know that the black one that I do use, is very pigmented. Blue isn't really my thing for eye makeup either, so maybe you can rock it better?

So, I think that's about it for the giveaway!

I do hope people join it (I know it's not much, but it's a start). This giveaway is in no way sponsored (except partially by my parents I guess)

Do share this giveaway if you want :) If I can get to fifty followers, I can start planning for my hundred followers giveaway :D

Make sure you follow all the rules :) it's not that hard.
