RAFW Care Package

6a00e5508e95a98833013480a964ec970c-640wi.jpg

>> I had long decided that after two days worth of goodie bags at RAFW that I would give most of it away – namely the make-up, because a) I don't really know what to do with items such as 'brow gel' and 'body oil' and b) I don't operate many giveaways on the blog.  So here's an "RAFW" care package, complete with an issue of Frankie and Russh plus everything you see on top of the mags, that I'm sending out to anyone who is bothered to leave a comment on this post…

I'll pick one reader at RANDOM from all the emails using some sort of Excel generated randomiser to be fair…

I'll close off the post in about two days so just leaves me a comment if you want err… some weird oozy bronze body glow and admittedly a very nice shade of MAC creamsheen gloss as well as other bits and bobs.  Frankly, the mags are probably the best dealio of it all given that I have difficulty finding them in London and perhaps it's an equally dire situation elsewhere in the world (outside of Australia…)…

**EDIT** Just to clarify, anyone in the world can enter.  When I said "(outside of Australia)", I meant the magazine situation of getting hold of Frankie and Russh was dire outside of the country of origin…

**EDIT** Giveaway comments are closed.  Excel has decreed that Hannah who commented on 12/05/2010 at 10.47 has won – I'll be emailing ya for your address – thanks for everyone who commented… perhaps I will do more of them if the right opportunity comes up!

  6. Wow…that would be great if you actually sent me your “goodie bag” stuff. I LOVE all that stuff and being out of work right now, buying MAC makeup is out of the question!!!

  7. What a great competition! I adored your coverage of RAFW, I can’t wait to see whats to come next for your blog 🙂

  9. ohhh, thats very kind of you to give out stuff like that! i definitely would love to get my hands on the magazines…

  12. I am really devistated to have missed RAFW this year! hope you enjoyed it. The goody bags are a nice treat. As long as you would use the stuff. Generally its just an incentive for you to try new products. Looks like this season was Peachy Keen? 🙂
    Russh and Frankie are pretty good. Box is another great lifestyle mag.

  15. Love how the lipglosses match Russh’s colourscheme. Co-ordination, yeah.

  18. ahh, i found russh in some random small costcutter near whitechapel, it was soooo random.

  19. Oooh, the possibilty of experimenting with such freebies is too tempting!!!

  20. Oh! I’ve never been able to get my hands on a Rush issue, it seems as though they aren’t available over here.. What a lovely idea 🙂

  21. count me in. I love the Nars body bronze stuff and the OPI nail polish looks the perfect colour.

  23. I had a similar issue trying to track down a back issue of rush (the one with the amazing daul kim shoot) and then in a weird twist of fate found it hiding, a year out of date, on the back shelf of my local newsagents..score.
    p.s brow gel is supa useful if you have unruly brows

  25. Oh heck, I think that bronzer might end up in a giveaway in my own blog but I’m in it for the magazines… hey, that’s a cool thought…giveaway chain. interesting.

  28. I’d love these, except for the magazines… I already have both those issues. I wouldn’t say not to the make up though (:

  38. Magazines!! Even though I love lookbook and blogs, there’s nothing like beautiful pictures on real paper. 😀
    Sigh me up for the giveaway please!

  39. ooh, lovely makeup products you’re giving away there! too bad you wont make much use of them, cause they are lovely. glad youre having a good time at RAFW, and thanks for keeping us posted! hope i win these nom nom things!
    xx-LJ from SOS!

  50. Ooo, I’m game. I love snail mail. And that dark nail polish is calling me. And if it isn’t nail polish, then perhaps I don’t understand what it’s saying…

  51. I feel my sole motivation in commenting is the magazines. Oh, and I adore your style.

  53. the weird oozy bronzey thing sounds like fun! acutally a really cool giveaway!

  54. Hooray.. what an awesome giveaway! I’ve been trying to get my hands on a copy of Ruush for ages.
    Please pick me!

  55. Oooh…hopefully you pick me. Been missing the mags from back home. Love your blog Susie! Mahalo and Aloha from Hawaii!

  59. You lucky devil! I will kindly take those unwanted treats from your hands!! x

  60. this is awesome! i love magazines and i love makeup! this makes my life. =)

  69. Ahh! These things all look SO awesome! The array you so posted in photos looks quite glamorous in an off-hand way. This was a cool treat from your travels. Thanks for sharing it with your readers so generously! 🙂

  73. ohhh!!! MEEE!!!! please!!!! i would really love to have the magazines 🙂 can’t find RUSH magazine here in singapore and would really love to read it. THANK U SUSIE

  77. Im deprived of makeup especially here in oz we dont always get the good stuff (only joking we are starting to get some good stuff in the country! You can pass them onto me colours would go wonderfully with my olive skin, by the way loving your blogs. Pick me pick me! PS I collect magazines so they would fit nicely on my bookshelf of worthy mags. 🙂

  81. Suzie, I hope you have a copy of Frankie and RUSSH for yourself!
    (Ps: you can subscribe internationally to both, but I have no idea how $$$ it is.)

  84. So sad I missed out on RAFW this year 🙁 Uni takes up too much of my time these days…
    But thank you for your amazing coverage of it. It made me feel like I’ve been there the whole time!!
    Obviously I would love this generous RAFW care package – who wouldn’t?!

  95. yesssshhhhh 🙂
    would love some weird oozy bronze body glow righta bout now

  96. Susieeee, im from Indonesia and i miss frankie mag! me me me me : D

  102. Even though the odds are against me… free makeup is too great a temptation for me not to comment!

  104. Gosh, those magazines are not sold/ available where I live… It would be awesome to get any of those!

  105. Oooh! I die over anything NARS and that black polish is dreamy.

  108. I’m an Australian living in the US and haven’t been able to get my hands on a Frankie or Russh magazine for months now. loves it all to bits.

  110. oooh, even though I’m in Australia I would love a wee care package! many profuse thank yous!

  114. I’ve always wanted to try reading Russh. I never win these things though.

  118. Hope you had a great time in Aus – you’ll have to come down to Melbourne next time 🙂

  120. The magazines look interesting 🙂 THe body products seem practical though…I mean who wouldn’t use brow gel everyday? 😀

  128. Definitely game! I’ve been dying to get my hands on a copy of Russh…

  130. someone here in Ecuador would love to have those magazines and make up ;D

  132. Ooh, makeup! That would be a seriously awesome care package. Yay girlie things.

  133. I don’t know what to do with brow gel either, but experimenting would be fun!

  135. can i join tooo???
    i want them too >< btw i reli enjoy ur blog honestly...

  140. This would be lovely to receive in my mailbox! MAC & magazines! <3

  144. Would love to win the give away. Here in Brazil is very difficult (and EXPENSIVE) to find any of these items… most of them don’t even sell around here.

  146. The magazines are undoubtedly amazing but…what girl is going to turn down makeup?! Espesh MAC and NARS!

  147. I have been wanting to try a lot of the products from your care package!
    would love a chance to try them!

  149. susie you beautiful genius!
    will kindly take those bad boys off your hands 🙂

  157. Never win anything free in my life but it’s time to try and see- I always like magazines

  158. ahhh i would absolutely adore one! brow gel=amazing and those mags are to die for. anywhoo, how will you know where to send if you need the addy, which surely you will; just ask.

  159. Dont tell me what you want, what your really really want. so I’ll tell you what I want what I really really want, I wanna… I wanna I wanna.. I really really wanna…. WIN FREE STUFF!!!!!!!

  164. Please pick me! l am a die heart fans of these two magazines when l used to live in NZ (got the first issues of both mags) and now l am living in Asia… Sad!x

  165. i’m new to your blog but like your style.
    i also really like those peachy shades 🙂

  170. I am totally into Make-ups especially it is a GIVEAWAY!! Love all the choices they put together into a goodies bag!!

  180. There are literally zero English language fashion magazines available in China. So, this would be incredibly awesome to win. Haha.

  183. Oh yes yes! Brow gel is delicious! And moving from Australia to a new country, anything from home is appreciated!
    ^_^

  185. Oh oh I would love to win the goody bag goodies! But if I win, you can draw another number for the mags as I’m a kiwi and both of them are already circling round my flat!

  190. I`d like to enter, actually I like the shades of the make up a lot…

  196. Brow gel… I think I can still learn something from the world of make-up (for which I need the glossies, for sure).

  198. yess pleaseee.. whats not to love about frankie and russh throw in some makeup too =)

  199. Yes, I cared enough to leave a comment.. I love RUSH, MAC and live in Australia.

  200. OOOh yes, I wouldn’t mind a bit of RAFW swag since I couldn’t make it… and hey Susie you can even keep the mags if I end up winning, already have them 🙂 x

  215. yay!!! i have my fingers crossed. i’d love some brow gel, i have truly wild brows.

  222. Pretty much in love with the peachy nail polish, and the mac stuff – i think i have one similar to the what i think is eyeshadow? but i’m running low and would really appreciate a restock as i am a skint student! haha
    And would definitely enjoy those mags- as well as helping me avoid revision!

  225. Pick me Excel generated randomiser… pick me! Not so dire situation here in Amsterdam for Russh (widely available), but Frankie i’ve never heard of… would love to sink my teeth into that all make-upped and body oiled:D!

  228. A freeeeeeeeeezing Aussie in London would love to have her hands on some Southern Hempishere heat!!

  242. Any Aussies who want Frankie or Russh magazaines really should just go to their local newsagent and buy them. Since it’s difficult to get these magazines “outside of Australia”, I think people who don’t live in Australia should be able to get a chance to read these magazines because both are absolutely amazing.

  246. My two favourite Australian magazines. I’ve felt so proud to be an Australian while you’ve been here! I love you and your wonderful blog xx

  250. I love your blog been following for 4 years! Would be so happy to receive this package of goodies!

  260. I’ve just been popping in to see the AFW covergae, as its not one that i was particularly familiar with. Thanks for the coverage, and the giveaway,as you didn’t have to share your goodies. xx

  262. OMG those giveaways are immensely awesome! 😀 i wouldn’t say no to such a lovely present!

  265. ooh, count me in! i have never read russh before.. i think it’s high time i started! 🙂

  268. on one hand I feel like a douche, on the other hand, gosh, the pink nail polish is pretty. (and have no chance to get a copy of russh.)

  270. Well I’ve never one anything before, gotta be in it to win it…
    I love frankie magazine. So please feel free to send it my way haaa 🙂

  271. I will “The Secret” these goodies. I’m ready for my freebies. Thanks Susie

  281. Oh wow, I never get exciting mail, and this would be the most exciting kind!

  300. Wow, loved your posts in Oz. I hope you enjoyed our sunny and beautiful city!

  303. I’m in 🙂 Loved your coverage of RAFW. I hope you enjoyed Australia!

  307. Susie, don’t worry your giveaways may be rare but they are definitely worth it! Sounds like you’ve had oodles of fun at RAFW, thanks for sharing it with us too 🙂

  309. Ah, I love reading magazines I cant get in my home town (very few due to living in such a rural area) These’d be fab to add to my collection. The beauty goodies are fantastic colours too.

  314. Woohooo!! I wana go to RAFW!!!!! Failing that, I wouldn’t mind some second-hand freebies 😉 xxxx

  315. Thanks for your blogs on RAFW! This is such a great help to me as I am moving from London to Australia in September and need to know what is happening over there! Will be looking for a job in footwear so if you have met any good shoe people let me know!
    ps. would give the mags a good home 🙂

  317. me me me please. i live in south africa where goodie packages (of any worth) are few and far between.

  318. This is a lovely idea. Thank you
    I’m rather intrigued by the magazine as i haven’t read it before.

  320. this would be a lovely surprise during the boring time of summerexams. X

  321. Wow yes please! I love Frankie Magazine and haven’t read it in years! Great idea xx

  322. Hi Susie!
    Needless to say, I am a daily follower of your blog! I love all your looks, but especially the ones using pastels! I am such a whore for pastels right now.
    Those NARS products are calling my name. Also, I am dreadfully ill right now, and would like nothing more than to give myself a manicure and leaf through magazines.

  325. what a great giveaway! i haven’t seen these mags in manchester, would be interesting to see something new!

  327. you are wonderfully generous! Love it and I need makeup for the summer and my wedding day! Thanks! xoxo

  342. Ooooh, love the idea of oozy bronze body glow… nothing better than experimenting with ridiculous beauty product. But you’re right, the mags are definitely the best part!

  344. within australia but on the west coast…don’t have the russh or frankie yet and am returning to the states soon. will miss aussie quirks…

  362. Hmmmm..Magazines ^^ and oozy bronze gel thingy ^^..Me likey, me wantey <3 Hope I win XD

  375. leaving this comment for a wish of small luck can bring me to win these lovely price.

  376. Ok I’ll try this post one last time, I would love the make up, I have been looking for Nars in London for quite some time!

  379. Isn’t it amusing how, on a normal blog post, maybe 100 people comment. But when you say it’s a giveaway… IT’S OVER 9000!!!! Well, almost 400 :B I usually comment, so I can now feel good about myself, not just being dragged into the commercialismness 🙂
    Either way, I think I would be too busy hoarding my goodybags to give any away. Do you get them at all shows?

  381. Wouldn’t mind getting a package like that!! Russh is so hard to find in Europe! x

  385. Haha, great giveaway, it gets lots of people posting comments, thats for sure.
    Mag+Makeup = Definite win combo
    😉

  391. Hi, I would love to get hold of something from Oz. I miss it so much.

  396. Of course I would love some. I just wonder how you find the time to see, do and write. Ah the energy of youth.

  401. I love Frankie and haven’t seen it on newsstands for years. and RUSSH is awesome too, but foreign magazine are always so pricey. This is awesome.

  403. OBVIOUSLY I am not entering this, but I was so pleased I did the same kind of goodie bag giveaway with my goodie bags at LFW this season. It’s cool to be able to pass on that stuff. Oh & I used random.org to pick a number which I just used to pick out the corresponding number entry. LLGxx

  405. oooo YES i’d LOVE to be able to rifle through those two magazines! and i’d say that make up looks pretty lovely toooo…
    x

  406. me me me pleeeaaassseeee!!! would love it all!! what a lovely idea 🙂

  408. HA HA HA! It’s so funny that like 10 times more people have commented on this post. Oh well, I’ll hop on board too. I just want the magazines though, I don’t wear make up.
    Charlotte xx

  410. Frankie looks interesting… I’d love to get my hands on some Aussie mags (I sound creepy… O_o)

  411. susie! thank you! you are the best, i love your blog! apparently my previous comment was deleted or something!

  435. ooh.. I love the NARS body glow and those magazines look fab. I haven’t ever seen them but would like the chance to do so.

  436. Keen! and i really enjoyed your coverage of RAFW – I always enjoy seeing a New Zealand Designer mentioned on a world scale 🙂

  438. That make-up is hundreds of dollars!! 🙂 I was drooling over most of it today at Sephora. dear random generater, choose me!

  441. I know exactly what to do with brow gel and body oil! Random generator, pick me!

  449. an actual giveaway!
    btw – thanks for taking the time to blog!
    truly enjoy reading it!

  454. ooh, is this still on? Russh is so tough to get, and Russh Japan particularly. I’ve only ever seen (and bought) one (Iekeline Stange! inundated) copy. I wonder if it’s still in print.

  459. OO love the care pack!!!! Russh and Frankie are favs of mine too! they are impossible to get where i live – Malaysia 🙁 i’ll be having my fingers crossed!

  464. I’d definitely love to win this even though I do live in Australia and have access to Frankie mag.

  468. I would love love love to get my hands on the newest issue of RUSSH! that is what I miss most about my vacation to Melbourne/Sydney!

  470. You gotta be in it to win it right…
    Well here I go!

  473. Is it too late to comment and enter??… Norway is a bit behind Aussie in the time zone sense of things…but anyways, thanks for the give away op and loving your blog and looks as always! x

  490. How generous of you!! You’re making me homesick for Australia with all this talk of fashion week there, and now i’m desperate for a fix of Rush and Frankie! That Mac blush also looks rather lovely.
    Hoping to see you tomorrow night at the Sketchbook pop-up. Adore your blog!

  496. Sounds great. If i get it you’ll be spending quite a bit in stamps. 🙂

  501. C : mags! mhhh and mac.
    *just a note*
    Russh can sometimes be found in the magazine section of well-stocked Barnes & Nobles… for those of us who live in a country where B&N exists.

  507. Hey I use brow gel…while reading magazines…bet I am too late for the RAFW PACK…sob
    liz from Paris

  510. Thankyou Susie! it’s generous of you to send out things that you like too, and not just bits and bobs 😀

  515. Is it too late to enter? That blush would be the perfect pick-me up for a drizzly Seattle spring!

  521. this is my first attempt at winning anything from a blog!
