On to today's post!
Hello
bellas! How’s it hanging?
So
I have been talking about a giveaway since last year, but here it is FINALLY!
This is to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of this blog! Sometimes I look back
and it feels like I have been doing this for 5 years! Other times, I do some
things and I go “no wonder, you are still a baby blogger” lool. But it has been
fun, and interesting all the way!! And I love and appreciate you guys soooo
much, even more than lipstick! Ha!
So
the giveaway has been divided into two, i.e there will be TWO giveaways! Did
somebody say hallelujah?! Well I've always wanted to do another competition after
the EYEBROW COMPETITION but never had the time to organise it, so i thought
this would be a perfect opportunity. And then I also thought, I might have
diligent readers, that might be toooo shy to participate in the competition!
Should they be left out? N to the O! So there’s another giveaway for those shy people!
So
here goes...
