The Great Giveaway Unveiling!

Many apologies for the craptacular photography, but I just wanted to post this quickly! I'm giving away the following:

a complete set of Organic Surge skincare (face wash, eye gel and moisturiser)
a set of Demeter shower gel and body lotion in Fig Leaf,
a tube of Balm Balm in rose geranium (love, love, love this stuff, it's like Eight Hour Cream, only better smelling!),
plus I've thrown in:
a mystery Ruby & Millie lipstick and
a mystery Sleek eyeshadow palette!

For a chance to win, (and because I've nearly left the house twice this week without mascara and realised I simply look all wrong without it!) all you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me which single beauty or cosmetic product you simply can't live without. Oh, and you must be a follower! If you want to mention it to other people, that's great, it's not compulsory - but I will be grateful!  Winner will be drawn at random on November 19th, and is open to international entrants.

Thanks for reading, and good luck!

EDIT: Because this has been so popular, I've now added a second set of goodies to the giveaway - not identical, but very similar! - so you now have double the chance of winning.  Good luck!

PS Items in this competition were all provided by myself and have not been supplied as freebies by any of the companies mentioned, or any PR firms.

Lipstick haul

Last week, I may have gone a bit crazy buying lipsticks ... I really shouldn't buy any lipsticks whatsoever, the collection I have already numbers three figures as it is.  I went through my handbag the other day and realised there were 12 lip products in there: 8 lipsticks (including the five you see below), three glosses and a balm.  I guess you could say I'm a lip product junkie, but this is excessive,  even for me.

Here's are my latest haul (with flash):

Left to right we have Ruby & Millie lipsticks in Orange 360c, Nude 840m and Brown 910p  (all a snip at £2.75 each from Boots at the moment!).  I think I may have been having a brainstorm when I bought them though, as I appear to have picked up two of the brown, so look out for the spare in a giveaway soon! Then there are two L'Oreal Studio Secrets lipsticks in 411 and 460, as I'm still on my quest to find the perfect nude lip, after the GOSH disaster of the week before.

Here's how they swatched on my skin (without flash)

The 411 is slightly too pink for my lips, and the 460 is slightly too brown for a proper nude, but I'm planning on mixing these together in a palette, as I love the colour I get from using a mixture of both the colours.  Lip of the Day posts will follow every day from Monday, as I fully intend to wear each of these to work this week ... I'm really looking forward to seeing if anyone will comment on the orange, I think it's a fantastic colour!

How many lipsticks do you  have around at any one time?

Makeover Sunday will actually be Makeover Monday this week, I'm very sorry ...
