1000 Post Giveaway with Debenhams!
When I started Get Lippie nearly five years ago, I didn't really expect much - I wasn't a makeup artist, and I didn't think anyone (outside of a very select few people, and possibly their cat), would have any real desire to read my wibblings about lipgloss. Now, 1000 posts and almost five years later, it's hard to believe that I resisted blogging for so long!
What started, too many years ago to mention, as an obsession borne at the local branch of Debenhams, has now grown into a blog with a four man team behind the scenes, and, along the way there have been award nominations galore, some amazing products, including a couple named after the blog! And some hugely surreal and enjoyable experiences! I never imagined spending all my wages on lipstick would lead to such things, it's been a strange and wild ride ...
Now, today just happens to be my birthday, but I'd like to give you guys a present, as practically everyday feels a tiny bit like a birthday these days ;) After we had a bit of a brainstorm at Get Lippie HQ, we decided to offer one lucky reader what we think is an amazing prize. Between the four of us, we've got a couple of perfume experts, a couple of lipstick obsessives, one professional makeup artist, and four - count them! - FOUR complete cosmetic and skincare nerds. And we love shopping for makeup. And skincare. And fragrance. And a couple of us like shopping for shoes, too.
Anyway!
And we want to take you shopping! Whether you're looking for your perfect red lipstick, that glorious hot date fragrance, want a complete makeover or just want to know your Clarins from your Urban Decay, we - the entire team - will meet you on a date of your choice in Debenhams Oxford Street, and you'll be able to pick all of our brains!
Now, makeup shopping can be expensive, especially at the moment, so this personal shopping evening comes complete with £250 worth of vouchers for you to spend in-store, a Beauty Club Card which comes pre-loaded with £20's worth of Beauty Club points, and you'll have your pick of in-store treatments whilst you're there, too. So if you fancy a quicky manicure, or an eyebrow shape whilst you're there, you can! Oh, and when you're done, Debenhams will give you a fancy goody bag featuring products from many of their brands too! The Beauty Hall at Debenhams Oxford Street is one of my favourite places, and we're all looking forward to seeing you there!
Just follow the instructions on Rafflecopter below to enter. We'll be making the final draw on Tuesday 24th June at lunchtime, and we'll be in touch ASAP after that to arrange the details. Please make sure you pay special attention to the terms and conditions though, we beg you!
The prizes again, are:
One private personal shopping event with the Get Lippie Team (or individual members thereof) at Debenhams Oxford Street, London.
£250's worth of Debenhams gift vouchers
£20's worth of Beauty Club Points
Selection of in-store treatments on the night (subject to availability on the night)
Goody Bag featuring Debenhams beauty brands.
The total prize value is around £500! What are you waiting for?
As Rafflecoptor, for some reason, isn't showing it: the official tweet to enter this giveaway is:

congrats on such a huge milestone, heres to the next 1000
ReplyDelete1000 posts is such a huge deal, when you break it down it is 200 posts a year, or one every other day. That is true commitment!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win this prize, I'd like to have advice on 'neutral' work makeup and obviously a killer fragrance.
1,000 posts! You have come so far with this blog. Well done! The widget asked me what I would spend £250 on. I would go for a really good foundation, some skin care with SPF to get me through this summer, a pretty palette, and some more mascara as I always need more mascara.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDelete1000 posts? That's really impressive!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and what a cracking milestone for it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations! Fabulous prize too!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations! Fabulous prize too! !
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and congratulations! If I won, I'd start with a Guerlain cologne in the beautiful bee embossed bottle, and try the Meteorites in the lovely box. Maybe an Estee Lauder Pure Color 5 colour eye palette, a Chanel eyeliner pen to go with it and try their Vitalumiere foundation, then I'd look for an interesting colour mascara and a concealer pale enough for my ghostly countenance
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Louise!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday - 1000 posts is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI've been reading the blog since the beginning, and it doesn't feel like 5 years! Definitely need a complete makeover for our new life! So that's what I'd spend it on, making me less slummy more yummy...
ReplyDeleteBlimey! That's a lot of writing you've been doing!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'd spend the time trying to find some ways of making myself look a little less tired (and more presentable) and the money on buying said dream products. I haven't really paid much attention to my appearance for the last couple of years (and I've had a 'significant' birthday, and a birth, since then) so it would be great to take back some time for me.
Congrats Get Lippie Team! 1000 posts is a huge milestone. I would splurge on body products
ReplyDeleteCongrats on reaching 1000 posts. This is a fab prize - I would definitely splurge on body products.

ReplyDeleteI am still searching for the perfect foundation that doesn't make me look too rosy cheeked x congratulations on the milestone!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 1000! Great blog and what a fabulous prize :-)
ReplyDeleteHoly guacamole! 1000 posts is very impressive, I remember when I got to 100 and I was super chuffed. I know that you are probably chuffed x1000 with how amazing your blog has become!
ReplyDeleteIf I won the giftcard prize, I would buy all the mascaras (maybe not *all* just 10! ;) ) in Debenhams to try and find a solution to my panda eyes. All the mascaras I've tried smudge under my eyes which isn't helped by my short, stuffy and straight Asian lashes.

Amazeballs - can't believe the blog has been going so long. If I was lucky enough to win I would predictably buy something glittery. The make up budget and application skills have increased since first discovering Barry M as a teenager but the obsession with sparkly pretty colours has remained!
ReplyDeletecongratulations that's amazing :) not surprising considering how good your blog is! I would go for anything too faced! I went cruelty free in march, so im still replacing and learning.

I may have done a little excited-wee, so after I'd smartened myself up, I'd spend the £250 on an anti-ageing face cream. The kind you only Dream of buying yourself. Any illuminating foundation would also be a treat! Congratulations to you.
