Blog Birthday! My blog has turned 1!

Happy Burfday dear bloggy...


Okay so like the true ditz head that I am... I've missed by blog's birthday!  I had CONVINCED myself it was 22nd January but it was actually the 16th when I first posted to you beauts!  Whoopsie!  

So... we'll pretend it's today instead.  Hehe.  I'm SOOO bad with dates!  

A whole year has gone by and what a year it's been?  I've not had the best year ever but I'm still here, I'm still blogging, I'm still enjoying it and in some ways it's been my absolute saviour.  My blog has been the escape I've needed on days where things have just got a lil bit much and I thank everyone single person who has stopped by and helped my sanity!  And please don't think I'm being dramatic cos I'm not being; honestly, without the escapism of being able to talk about a beauty product or share my NOTD I would have went cray cray... well... more cray cray than I am already!  Hehe!

I really want to celebrate my blog birthday by holding a giveaway; it's a big day for me because firstly I've managed to stick to something for a whole big old long year and that is an achievement for me and my fickle ways!  Also, I want to give something back to my readers who I get SO much from.  I am constantly inspired by conversations we have and feedback I get and you guys indulge me in my interests in all things beauty which I really need an outlet for!

When it comes to holding a giveaway I was left in a dilemma as to what to do as I've been collecting some items for a milestone giveaway but then I ended up having an operation in December and am still recovering so the collecting got put on hold and I don't want to do something half arsed so I've decided this is just gonna be a lil mini giveaway... I'm gonna do the standard MAC lipstick schbang because over the past year my collection of MAC lipsticks as grew ten fold so it's safe to say that has been the product of the last year for me!

This giveaway will be international providing there are no restrictions on post into your Country.  I am using Rafflecopter to keep things simple and fair.  If you win, your lipstick choice will have to be from their permanent collection and obviously in stock for me to buy it!  This is the link to MAC online where I'll purchase it from.

Without any more babbling from me here is the form to enter:


a Rafflecopter giveaway

Thank you again for letting me have my lil corner of the internet and GOOD LUCK!
