When logging on one day and reading through the community chat board I saw that I had been selected as one on the VIP hamper review members and was sent a hamper to review. My hamper contained 2 The Body Shop products and inside there was a little note encouraging members to create video reviews. I had never done anything like that before but I thought there was no harm in trying. So after summoning up an incredible amount of courage I attempted a video. I allowed myself 1 take and it was evident in the number of "umms" and slight pauses, but I was proud that I had done it and uploaded it to the website with no real expectations of it being watched. At the time the site was running a few competitions and one competition was for video reviews. I entered my video purely because it was a coincidence that it had met the requirements of the competition. I had no grand illusions of ever winning so when I was announced as the winner I was floored! The prize was for a R3000 beauty hamper, the biggest prize I have ever won.
I went to collect my prize on Tuesday this week from the Beauty Bulletin offices in Sea Point. I got to meet Kerri and Lori, who are co-founders of the site, as well as a few of the staff that keep the site up and running. It was great to meet everyone and get to chat to them in person instead of online.

This package is freaking incredible! I would give my left leg for all these goodies. I am literally drooling while looking at all the stuff you received. ;) I love that perfume, one of my faves. All the MAC and Inglot stuff. So jealous. I have that Body shop eye shadow palette - it's awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the prize. :) x
Thanks Chicara. I am incredibly happy with the prize. It just goes to show that sometimes being brave pays off :) I do love the design of the Inglot eye shadows - will definitely have to pop into their store one day. I love that you can select a palette to your liking. I haven't tried The Body Shop palette yet - I was too overjoyed by the Bobbi Brown palette, it's AMAZING!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you were doing because your blog has been a little quieter, but I saw you posted a post today. Hope you are well X
I've been super busy with a deadline for work. So unfortunately my blog suffers. I will be posting a few reviews and other bits soon. :) x
ReplyDeleteOh my word, that Bobbi Brown palette is gorgeous. I only spotted it now. Haha.
