6th Blogging Anniversary + Giveaway

Wednesday, May 09, 2018
I cannot believe that my blog is 6 years old today! I haven't stuck with a 'hobby' for so long and I am so glad that I found this medium because blogging has given me so much, not just in terms of products and amazing experiences but also a like minded community, a plethora of new skills and a platform for my thoughts and creativity.

I started my blog back in 2012 when I had no idea what I was doing and looking back I've changed and gained new skills so much so that the first two years of posts are so embarrassing to look through! Blogging in 2018 has a perception of constant freebies (this isn't always true) and pretty photos (they are the hardest photos to take) but when I started it was the early stages of blogging and brand relationships were rare so I had no idea that over the next couple of years I'd be working with House of Fraser, Debenhams, Boots, Lavazza, Teapigs, Newlook and more including...Harrods!
To celebrate my blog's 6th birthday, I'm hosting an international giveaway featuring items I love, brands I love and lots of extras. To enter all you have to do is fill out the Rafflecopter form below! The giveaway will end on the 31st May and the winner will be announced on twitter on the 1st June so make sure you're following me on twitter (@ofbeautyand).

The prize bundle includes all of the following:

- Real Techniques Prep & Colour Lip Set
- Harry Potter Socks
- Blog Planner Note Pad
- Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them Book
- Extras: tea samples, Lancome lipstick, stationery + chocolates


This winner has been contacted - thanks for entering!

Go, go, go!
