Special GIVEAWAY [CLOSED]

Tuesday, 31 January 2012

I'm finally doing my much talked about GIVEAWAY!  Part of the giveaway will be shared with you my amazing followers. However, some parts will be kept secret to allow for this to a little bit exciting!  I'm very excited to offer you the chance of winning this lovely prize, and hope that you will enjoy the process of entering the competition! 

The main prize will be the Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette!


Other prizes include:  Naked Starflower Crush Body Wash, Foam Bath and Body Butter.  Then there is a fun little photo album with the funky gerbil on, a handbag hook, Hello Kitty keyring, handbag tissues, metallic red nail wraps, Montagne Jeunesse Chocolate Face Mask, Kiss Lashes, Soap and Glory's new 'A Great Kisser' Lip Moisture Balm in Juicy Peach and a little hamster pen. 



What does the secret giveaway mean?
It basically means that a part of the giveaway will be shown here, and another part will be kept secret.  I've listed the brands below to allow you to see whether any of the competition is worth entering. 

So, what brands are going to be in the giveaway?
Urban Decay, Benefit, Soap & Glory, Naked, Kiss, Nail Wrap, OPI, LUSH and Montagne Jeunesse. 

How do I enter?
The rules are pretty simple and straightforward:
1. Be a member/follower of the blog via Google Friend Connect (the box in the left hand column)
2. If you can't follow the blog via GFC then I will accept email entries at the normal address (buttonsfriend85@gmail.com)
3. Leave a comment on this post telling me what you would like to see more of on the blog and/or what you find the most useful (i.e. add video tutorials/do more nail posts/fashion is important)
4. Leave a valid email address or Twitter handle for me to contact you on in case you are the winner
5. Spread the word via Twitter or Facebook to all your friends and family - This isn't really an entry requirement and you won't get any extra brownie points but if someone you know wins, then maybe you can divvy up the prize.

That's it!

Like I said, the rules and regulations are straightforward and all entries must fulfill the requirements or else it won't be counted. If you don't leave a comment, name, contact info or be a follower then you are automatically taken out of the loop and lose the chance of winning. It's only one entry per person so if you've left a comment then you don't need to email me your entry because it won't count, and vice versa.

The giveaway is open INTERNATIONALLY and is now live so you can start leaving your comments from here on. I will close the giveaway on Wednesday 29th February at 9pm so there is enough time to get your entries in. Remember, you snooze you lose!

I look forward to reading through all your entries and remember, keep an eye out on Twitter for information about more brands being added to the giveaway.

Ready... Set.... GO!

Lots of

    What I would like to see more of on the blog;
    Nail posts! I really love your ideas and you highlight shades/colours that I haven't seen, perhaps a nail/hand care tips post too, to show us what you use.

    What I find the most useful; I really love the posts when you try new products, the mini reviews and pics help me decide if the product is for me.

    Love the new look, keep up the great work :)

  4. For me, I like to see makeup tutorials or different ways to do eye makeup. I love your posts on beauty products as they give me good ideas for what to purchase. Also since it's the new year, some super scrimper ideas on how to get nails and makeup done in a less than expensive way (so not over purchasing, using what you already have, getting creative). Love the blog and your recent promo, I follow obviously :)

  6. I would love to see more makeup reviews and swatches. I also love to see makeup tutorials specifically with eye makeup. Tutorial videos are the most useful for me because I am horrible at putting on makeup and need all the instruction I can get. Video reviews are very helpful because they help me determine on product purchases.

  13. I think your blog is good and I love how you have blog posts on how to do celebrity hairstyles. I love styling my hair but it always turns out horrible. I'll love for you to have more blog posts like this, they're very helpful.
    My twitter is @Nailslides. I left you a message a couple minutes ago! I would love to win the prizes in these giveaway. If i do win, I'm sharing these prizes because they're so many of them and I'm pretty sure they'll last a long time since it's products that you are loving. Hopefully whoever wins falls in love with the prizes too
