Athina's '100 followers' giveaway!!!!!! *****CLOSED*****

As you might have guessed from the title of this post I finally managed to put together a giveaway to celebrate the first 100 followers of my blog!!!!
First of all I would like to thank you all once again for following my blog, reading my posts and commenting. I love blogging and the fact that you guys support me means the world. I don't want to bore you any further so I'm going to get straight to the point...;)
Firstly I would like to lay down the rules of this giveaway as well as the ways you can enter.
How to enter:
You must be a follower of my blog!!!!!!!! I am doing this giveaway for my followers(both old and new of course)so it makes sense that this would be a prerequisite. Please make sure that you are not an 'unknown' follower.
You must be 18 or over to enter or have your parents' permission.
This giveaway is international!!! I would also like to let you know that I purchased these prizes with my own money.
You can gain extra entries by doing the following:

1. Follow me on twitter(1 extra entry)

3. Blog about this giveaway(2 extra entries).You could either write a post or add the first picture & a link to the sidebar of your blog.

I have designed a form and in order to enter you need to fill in that form.
I will not accept any comment entries. This is simply because it is much easier for me to keep track of the people who will enter(as well as their extra entries) by using the info entered into the form rather than info provided in the comments. You can still comment on this post if you have questions or if you have something else to say but make sure that if you want to enter my giveaway you'll have to fill in the form.



This giveaway will run from Sunday the 29th of May to Sunday the 12th of June

Here are the prizes:






* MAC "Crest the wave" eyeshadow (LE e/s that came out with the Makeup Art Cosmetics collection).

*Avon "Vivid Violet" nailwear pro nailpolish

*Samples of "Push the edge" and "Later." pigments by MAC (I put the samples in sanitized jars)

*Korres Quercetin & Oak / Antiageing & Antiwrinkle Day and Night creams in travel sizes

*2 wheel wooden spine roller (a wooden massage tool that I absolutely love).





*Origins washing mitt (I am not a fan of washing mitts but I love this because it also has a stripe of loofah at the very bottom)





*A nail rhinestone wheel

*This cute necklace.






That is all.....I would like to wish you all good luck and I hope you like the prizes. Unfortunately I couldn't afford more but I am commiting to future giveaways being even more exciting that this one...! ;)

Hello beauties!!!

I have a super exciting haul for you today! I went to the Estee Lauder/Sarantis annual bazaar today and picked up a number of things that I would like to share with you. I, mostly, bought stuff from MAC(surprise, surprise...) but I ,also, picked up some other stuff that I came across and thought they were too good to pass up...!Three of the things I bought will not be added to this haul since two of those were presents for my family and the third one is the last prize for first giveaway which will be my next post so you'll find out soon enough.
Here are the pictures:

Make-up...

¤MAC tinted lip conditioner SPF 15 in Gentle Coral

¤MAC pigment in "Push the edge"(If I am not mistaken this is a pro colour)

Sigma Dry 'n Shape...!

Now, since I put an affiliate link on my blog I haven't created a Sigma-related post however I thought I should share with you a new product by Sigma that I think will make a difference. This is the Dry 'n Shape that allows you to cut down your brush drying time in half whilst maintaining the shape of your brushes...!Check it out if you are interested...

Ta-da...
