I am so sorry everyone

Hello my dears,
I am so sorry. Just when I promise to start posting daily, I went MIA...Why? Well, my laptop fried.
And yes I mean that literally, my motherboard literally fried inside my computer when someone spilled milk over my keyboard. My laptop was already having problems so this just killed it.
That along with my usual personal and family issues made me unable to come online or write anything and therefore I am very sorry everyone.
However, I was (almost by miracle actually) granted a new laptop by my poor dear old dad. I am very grateful for it and vow to care for this new laptop with the utmost carefullness. I also promise to try and improve and update my blog a lot more from now on, I can promise I will update it daily since I'm still trying to get back all my lost data but I will try my best.

Anyway, on to better news.
My birthday giveaway (which should now probably be called "End of the Year" giveaway) has been extended again untill December 31st. However this is the final deadline and I won't alter it again (PROMISE!), also all the people who have entered all still in the run.

October 2nd Giveaway

Hello, hello, hello!
Today is a very very very important day, yes it is.
And why is October 2nd of 2011 important? Easy, it's because......IT'S MY 22nd BIRTHDAY!
To celebrate this year I spent the weekend at an anime convention here but I wanted to share this date with my subscribers so here I am.
I haven't gotten any gifts this year but I believe in Karma so here's is a little elf giveaway.
I never stop boasting about elf as you all know, it's my ultimate bargain pick. So I decided my giveaway would be elf related.

The item you may win on this giveaway is........

The elf Brush Case!

The elf Brush Case can be found at the eyeslipsface website (I got mine from the UK Branch website, can't seem to find it in the US Branch website).
It costs 5,80€ or 5£ in Europe and can hold many brushes depending on their size (I keep about 30 in mine). I will be reviewing this extensively in a future post.
If you win you will be getting a brand new unused Brush Case and a little surprise prize.
