Competitions can save you a fortune, This week wins!

So as some of you may know , A couple of years ago I started to enter competitions religiously on facebook and twitter.

Over the years I have won some amazing items, even won the majority of my wedding needs , like money for my dress, decor, bridal jewelery,shoes ect. I have also won cameras, phones, tumble dryer, so many clothes and jewelry, books, bags, shoes, vouchers, toys, and thousands of pounds worth of beauty products amongst many more things.

Over xmas I gave it up. I needed a break with my family and realised I wanted to start blogging and put more effort into that.

After feeling rather organised by the end of April, I decided to give it another go and so I thought I would show you what I had won this month. I am actually awaiting some more fantastic things but this is some of the items that have already turned up.

This is what arrived in the post this week for me
(some items are not shown )

  1. Dress - Coral bodycon - FD Avenue - £25
  2. Suit - Bright floral suit  - Spoilt boutique - £35
  3. Beauty Bundle  - Lancome bundle - £35
  4. Beauty bundle - Ruby Hammers essentials - £149
  5. Kerastase - Hair bundle - £80
  6. NV Cosmetics - Aqua glitter and crayon - £11
  7. Cream bundle - (samples) 
  8. Nailene - Nailene spring art set - £25
  9. Semichem - Little mix full set of collection cosmetics makup - £110
  10. Lip Lover  - £22
  11. Katherine Daniels - Trial kit - £32.50


Total = £524.50

I definintely have to say that I have been very lucky , this lot was all won on twitter by using Twitaculous and RT and Follow competitions by following the live stream.

I still have more to come to so far -

  1. Beauty Uk  - Full nail polish collection - £65.78
  2. Remlington Curling tongs - £20
  3. Neal and Wolf bundle  - £80
  4. Beautylab - Black diamond serum - £80

Total coming - £245.78

So overall in a week , I have won a staggering £770.28 worth of beauty product prizes .

I do not get many pennies to treat myself so having competitions like this really does help me out. I have already given three sets of the Little mix makeup collections to my three daughters, the L'Octaine body cream and Clarins double serum is most defininetly the most amazing products so far tried out and I am loving those.

I am never ungrateful for free items as you can imagine. I always use everything and If I win something I may not use myself or receive through expecting something else , I will give it to family or friends who will use them.

I used to comp from morning till night (around the kids) and won loads over the years. I just don't find I have the time for it these days, though I do enter a few quick entries and blog comps and have a few nice wins :-)
Love Vicky
