Giveaway: 3 coupon sconto 20% KIKO

*this post will be in Italian, simply because the codes are for a site which does not provide shipping anywhere outside Italy for now. Sorry, lovelies*

Salve ragazze,
immagino che ormai tutte sappiate del lancio dei Long Lasting Stick Eyeshadows di KIKO, che avverrà l'8 Marzo (nel giorno della nostra festa non sarebbe male farsi un regalino!). Per festeggiare l'avvenimento, dunque, niente è meglio di un piccolo concorso.
In palio ci sono 3 codici personali, utilizzabili una sola volta, fino al 31 di questo mese, che danno diritto al 20% di sconto sugli acquisti fatti sul sito www.kikocosmetics.com [n.d.r. il codice non è cumulabile con altre promozioni in corso]

Per partecipare, tutto ciò che vi chiedo è:

1. Essere iscritte al mio blog (non occorre che VOI abbiate un blog, basta avere un account e profilo google, che potete creare con qualsiasi vostro indirizzo email -anche non gmail- e poi cliccare su follow/segui, nella barra a destra del mio sito. Tempo stimato per l'operazione 3 minuti!);

2. Lasciare un commento qui sotto, chiedendo di poter partecipare al concorso, includendo il vostro indirizzo email.

Sceglierò 3 vincitrici e darò a ciascuna di loro un codice personale ed esclusivo per le sostenitrici di questo blog, attraverso estrazione. Per l'estrazione utilizzerò il sito www.random.org, in cui è disponibile un generatore virtuale di numeri casuali [n.d.r. per assicurare la massima trasparenza pubblicherò lo screenshot della schermata coi risultati dei numeri!]
E' possibile partecipare fino alla mezzanotte dell 13 marzo - le vincitrici saranno estratte e contattate personalmente da me il 14 Marzo, all'indirizzo email indicato.

Tutto chiaro? Allora, buona fortuna bellezze!

Giveaway first prize is up for grabs again - enter here!

Some weeks ago I announced the winners for my Christmas giveaway, but unfortunately for her, the winner of the first prize didn't claim it, so I am now putting it up for grabs again.

Once more, the prize consists of a Deborah Milano eyeshadow trio in Black Dalia and a Deborah Milano glitter liner in black.
The eyeshadows in the trio are all shimmery and perfect to create a smokey eye. I took pictures of the colors with flash and without flash: there's a shimmery black, a shimmery intense dark blue (not really navy, it is more of a midnight kind of blue) and a shimmery whitey silver with very light baby blue undertones.
All of those eyeshadows are baked, so you can use them dry or with a damp brush to obtain a more intense color.

So, if you want to get your mitts on these items, the rules are as follows:

1. Be a subscriber of my blog
2. Comment below this post saying "enter me" and incorporate your referal link for step 3
3. Post a blog entry about this competition on your blog

This competition is only opened to UE residents (sorry lovelies, but it's only 2 items and I don't really want to take care of the 1,000 things to do to face customs!)

This contest will be opened until the 20th of February 2010

Good luck everyone!

did you miss my giveaway posts?!

Hannah, at hannababeyxo is having her 25 followers giveaway. She has 2 prizes and they're both awesome.
Check her out!

Follow me, and win, win, win...Italian makeup! *CLOSED*

Hello lovely followers,
I have decided to have a giveaway, to celebrate my increasing number of followers (and to hopefully have some more).
All you have to do is:
1. Be a follower of my blog (non-followers' comment will be deleted);
2. Comment on this post saying "enter me";
3. Refer to your friends/followers about this giveaway, with a post on your blog. Please include the url for the referal in your entering comment. This way I am sure that you're spreading the word (this is a mandatory condition in order to win)

How simple is that? The winner will be picked using www.random.com
Closing date is August, 20th - so you have more than two weeks to enter and spread the word, and earn a chance to win these beautiful, beautiful prizes I've got for you like...an hour ago!

As I had a limited budget, and I'm not doing a 100 followers giveaway now, there is going to be only one winner - and I grabbed just a few things. However, I guarantee these are premium products, and the total value of this giveaway is around 40 euros (makeup is very expensive here!)

Now, on to the prizes - from left to right:

1. Mini Pupa Diva's Lashes mascara in black
2. A wonderful Pupa smokey eyes palette. As you can see, it has instructions to make that cute look. Those colors are TOP -NOTCH QUALITY, and last long.
3. Deborah Lip liner
4. Deborah coordinating lip plumper (glossy)

This picture has been taken with flash, the following is without flash.

I think this is a wonderful giveaway, personally I love all this stuff.
Pupa is a famous brand here in Italy, they have some stores outside Italy too, but they're in like..New York, Montréal, Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo... you know huge cities, so they're very hard to find for a non-Italian. I'm giving you the chance to have a Pupa experience.

Deborah is a less expensive brand, but they sure do their things since...ages...my mom used to use Deborah all the time when I was just a little girl.

So, if you wanna have all this stuff, just follow the rules.

Good luck everyone,
xoxo

Ly
