Giving and Sharing and Having and Receiving

6a00e5508e95a98833015436fa39f7970c-800wi.jpg

"It is a love based of giving and receiving as well as having and sharing. And the love that they give and have is shared and received. And through this having and giving and sharing and receiving, we too can share and love and have… and receive."

Like Joey Tribbiani, I too am into giving, receiving and sharing.  Well, in truth, who isn't into receiving?  That's not news.  In terms of sharing, I've probably overshared on more than one occasion in the the last five years of blogging and now recently I've moved on to the giving part.  If I accepted every bloody giveaway/competition email that comes through on emails, I'd have to rename this blog BubbleVouchers4U or something.  That said, we are somewhat nearing Christmas and you know what happens…. giving, receiving, sharing and having…. all of the good stuff that makes our cheeks rosy and our grins toothy.

I've been lucky enough to receive an absolute ton of goodwill beauty products.  NOT from the companies direct but through a shoot that I did.  They're unpackaged but absolutely unused and together forms a fairly decent haul that I'd NEVER get round to using or even have the skills to comprehend HOW to use it all.  Therefore, it's more of a necessity that I've had to break it all down into sets, which I'll be sending out to basically anyone who leaves a comment here.  All of this deserves to go to homes that will actually USE them. 

Please don't request certain ones.  It's like lucky tombola – ya never know what y'all gonna get until it plonks through your door.  I'll just pick five people randomly by scrolling around on the screen with my eyes closed.  Please include your email address when you sign in to comment (it won't be visible to other commentors) so I can contact you for your mailing deets.  I'll be closing comments off in a week.   

Kiss Kiss Muah Muah Heart Heart – that's the sort of giving/sharing that you probably DON'T want right?

Set 1 – Dior Addict Lipstick in Singuliere, Smashbox Lipstick in Pout

P1020164

Set 2 – Bobbi Brown Everything Mascara in Black, Bobbie Brown Creamy Eye Pencil in Jet, Nails Inc Polish in Black Taxi

P1020190

Set 3 – Laura Mercier Lipstick in Mistress, Shu Uemura Oriental Arch eyelashes, Laura Mercier Eye Pencil in Midnight Bleu

P1020213

Set 4 – Chanel Rouge Allure in Enthusiast, Chantecaille Faux Cils Mascara in Black, Shu Uemura Liquid Eye Liner in Black

P1020207

**EDIT** I had to take down the lovely Chanel-o polishes as they are brand new S/S 12 shades which can't be sent out to GEN PUB yet.  Yes, I'm a beauty duh brain who doesn't know that beauty products run in seasons too.  I'll be sending out something else equally nice though.  Like I said, it's LUCKY TOMBOLA.

  8. This is wicked! Fingers crossed (although I live in Australia… hope that’s not a dealbreaker).

  12. Hi! These are all really cool! I haven’t been on here in a while πŸ™ and I love the background!

  14. Wow such lovely products xD Why would you give them away?
    Thankyou!

  17. Very cool giveaway. I know you said you’re not a fan of doing them, but maybe being on the reciving end, I cannot deny my fondness of them…

  20. Ah! I would love all of these!! Thanks for this giveaway Susie! I hope I’m the winning comment!
    xoxo
    S
    ps- that chanel varnish is adorable!

  23. I have to say, that I am new to you and your blog and so far….I like ! I am studying to be a personal stylist and it’s always lovely to see how others interpret fashion ! x

  28. all the sets are gorgeous! cant believe you’re giving them away, so lovely πŸ™‚

  29. Wow, it’s so nice of you ! I love almost everything… This is my first time commenting for a giveaway(I don’t believe in my luck usually… but who could resist this one ??) I cross my fingers too!

  33. wow, that’s so lovely of you :’)
    fingers crossed that luck might swing my way for once :’)

  36. Yeah that’s a lot of make up for one face, unless you’re thinking of drag queening it up every night for the forseeable future! Thanks for the giving and sharing. peace, love and cake x

  39. wowww that’s brilliant!!! thank youuu for sharing this. yet another reason to love you (I read your blog every day. you write so well!) xx

  44. Susie, question, what is the hardest thing in blogging?
    Thanks for your blogposts! I read them daily πŸ™‚
    O.

  51. I absolutely never enter these types of things but I’ve been a fan of your blog for so long that I feel absolutely compelled to! It doesn’t hurt that you aren’t making it a condition that we like seven different twitter pages first or write an essay about how much we love shoes or anything like that. Even if I don’t win it’s probably good that I’m compelled to let you know how much I enjoy Style Bubble – it’s the first blog I check on a daily basis and have been doing so since my old blogging days (back in ancient 2008 or so, haha).
    Thanks Susie!

  57. if i win a set i promise to start actually wearing make up – rather than just collecting it πŸ˜€

  65. Omg good makeup is rare for me!! appreciate your quality blogging, that isn’t just a picture of your outfit with a paragraph of what you did that day under it. you truly love fashion, and I love that! Crossing my fingers!

  68. Hi Susie,
    i’ll be tremendously happy with any of the sets, i’m a single mom and just started to experiment w/ makup again and my first try at false eyelashes, really fun! i’ve not ventured out of my home with them on yet, but will soon. i love your blog and do come here often for inspiration.
    very bestest,
    lily

  70. How nice of you to give these things away! Good luck to me! (and, um, anyone else who wants some?)

  71. Beauty product give-away? You are heaven sent! Sharing is caring and I’m hoping I’m one of the lucky winners who has even more of a reason to get all dolled up! Bisous bisous! <3

  72. This is a wonderful ideia! I would absolutely love to win! pick me!!
    Fingers very doubled crossed πŸ˜€

  74. I would love to win! This is a really nice ideia, thank you and fingers doubled crossed!

  93. Susie! Would love to win one of these sets. Love your blog and your fabulous Asian flair.

  95. One good thing about giveaways is that it shows just how many people read your blog πŸ˜‰

  98. Really nice gifts, you are so generous Susie! Hope to win for once in my life πŸ™‚

  101. I love ur blog, really inspires me… I didn’t comment before but i decided to try, who knows… πŸ˜‰

  102. Oh my, I think it’s so kind of you to do this! Those cosmetics are beautiful. :))

  108. Thanks for the giveaway! I probably won’t win anything, but still hoping ahaha
    I always look forward to your posts; you always have something unique to share with us
    Your style has been an inspiration and a window to fashion to me!

  110. SUSIE<3
    What you're doing here is extremely generous and sincere!
    It's nice to see someone who recognizes that its better to give than to receive
    Five girls are going to be really happy or guys (;

    Thanks girl!
    Hope i win

  111. wish anyone of these comes home to me πŸ™‚ it would be a great early Christmas present πŸ™‚ love everything about you! πŸ™‚

  121. That is seriously nice of you. And good luck, everyone! But not too much.

  123. Honestly, this is so sweet of you! I probably won’t win since I am the queen of bad luck but I love that you’re doing this. πŸ˜€

  124. Honestly, this is so sweet of you! I probably won’t win since I am the queen of bad luck but I love that you’re doing this. πŸ˜€

    thank you for sharing!
    – angie

  132. Thanks Suzie! You da bomb. πŸ™‚
    (Also, LOVE your site. It is definitely SO different from other fashion blogs (something that I am super grateful of!), the content is always amazing, you update SO frequently, AND despite your fame, you never neglect or change (for the worse) the blog! As a long-time reader, thanks so much for everything! πŸ™‚ )

  134. What a lovely giveaway! Thank you for sharing the wealth.
    I have my fingers crossed for the nail polishes in particular… πŸ˜‰

  136. ooh wow this all looks spectacular! *crosses fingers* here goes!

  137. If I win, don’t you worry about not using it – I will never leave house without one of these sets of make-up. Those are fantastic. The colors and the quality… You know what they say – your face is the thing eberybody sees for all your life, you can’t hide it, so be sure to use good cosmetics – bad one will just ruin it day by day. So I hope I will win one (probably for the first time in my life, haha).

  141. I would be holding onto these goodies and not letting them go, it’s lovely of you to do this!

  142. pick me pls!! i nv EVER win anything in a lucky draw πŸ™
    thanks!

  152. I’ve never commented on someones’s page before, but I’ve been following your blog for about a year. Love it! Don’t know if you would want to send to me because I’m in the United States, but it would be great if you could!

  154. Yes, this season is all about presents. And that means that i’ll be totally crazy about what to give to my friends.

  158. What an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing with whoever the lucky people are. Enjoy reading.

  159. YAY! You’re awesome for the giving and the sharing and me hopefully having and receiving πŸ™‚

  162. I might give this a try right before xmas. Will make my make-up addicted nieces very happy with one of these.

  169. There is no such thing as a free lunch, but an occasional something for nothing is good for the soul!! Thanks Susie for the Christmas cheer, just at the start of the season!

  176. Oh, yes yes yes please. I do always like to receive. Although, it is true… giving does feel good. But maybe not quite as good as new makeup landing on your front door? xx

  180. Sure hope this is my lucky day, the only thing I ever won was a two pound salami at a bingo.. πŸ™‚

  187. How could you part with these beauties?
    Your mad! However very happy to take them off your hands for you!

  188. I never, ever win anything, no matter if it’s picked randomly like this one or if it’s one of those competitions where you have to give a smartass/funny answer… but hope never dies, right?

  192. Susie Bubble, I adore your blog, and I have to say I am loving set 2 and set 4…but lets face it, and gift would be PERFECT! How kind of you to give away your gifts…real Xmas spirit- I love it!
    Thanks for keeping me entertained daily, and for continually making fashion from the inside exciting and fresh! Every day when my email pings with your next update i get a wave of excitement for whats in store for me that day!

    I’m also doing my first giveaway at the moment and I’m a little excited =)

  231. Dear Susie Bubble,
    I’ve been following your blogs since…many years ago when I was still working for sales and marketing. And now I am a Fashion Design student and near to graduate. It’s amazing to do something completely different from what I’ve been doing. The reason why I got the gut to do it is because I am like you- fansinating about fashion. And you are the lucky one who is working for the thing you love.Thanks for the inspirations your blog has brought me…you are amazing and keep on blogging!
    Luv,
    Michelle
    P.S I live in Shanghai, if you don’t mind posting overseas…it might be relatively expensive…;-P

  235. love it that you quoted joey tribbiani in the beginning! πŸ˜€
    the chanel colours look so delicious all together… *fingerscrossed* ^.^

  237. “Pick me, pick me!” as my students sometimes crow.
    Thanks for inspiring this teacher every day to dress more creatively than anyone else on the faculty. . . The giveaway is fun, but what you give us every day in this blog is completely enough. Thanks for your generosity! I don’t know if all of us readers say it enough.

  258. So kind of you – how you can part with any of them I do not know! Will keep my fingers crossed for an early Christmas present…

  262. Holler, how generous of you around this time of year. That is also totes one of my most oft quoted Joey gems.
    Bernadette x

  264. I think I will try and see if I’m lucky for once πŸ™‚ Thank you for sharing your presents, it’s really nice of you!

  266. Oh, fingers crossed from now until when this giveaway ends (this will make things like going to the bathroom and making cups of tea very awkward)…

  267. Oh, fingers crossed from now until the end of the giveaway (it’ll make things like going to the bathroom and making cups of tea very difficult, but worth it)…

  271. Such a sweet idea! Thank you, Miss Bubble, for thinking of the ladies :o)

  272. Hey there, clearly commenting in the hope of getting a gift haha, but in all honesty theres a reason you’re on frront row at fashion week and it’s that you’re an amazing blogger. The number of fashion brands and ideas I’ve taken from your posts is incredible – thanks susie!

  304. How AMAZING would it be to receive something so nice from you! I’m SO grateful in my life for all the wonderful ways in which the universe sends something to me and even more grateful when I’m able to give to another. Being of service when possible is what gets me through the day! πŸ™‚ Thank you!

  306. Such a generous gift to make πŸ™‚ I have a beauty blog, so if I did by some awesome lucky chance win, it would all go to good use πŸ™‚

  312. Yay for something orange w/ my name on it! (After all those childhood years of never being able to find pens/keychains/other kitschy goods w/ my name on them). They’re all great though.
