800 Readers Giveaway!

I'm a bit late with this giveaway, but I wanted to get an amazing prize because you are the best readers ever! When I started the blog in 2012, people warned me that blogging means getting nasty comments and that it would be hard to get in touch with readers. My experience has been the opposite. I can almost count the rude comments with my fingers and people comment often, which is great!

I love getting to hear from you guys and I'm grateful for each an every comment. You say the most amazing things and it makes writing a blog very rewarding. So to everyone reading this, thank you!

And now on to the giveaway! Bought this Urban Decay travel pencil set from a Sephora in Seattle. I got one for myself too and I really like it. The set has a basic black liner, Zero, an awesome purple, Voodoo, and a shimmery medium brown, Corrupt. Voodoo is exclusive to this set and can't be bought separately.

This lovely set (it's naturally unopened, the pencils next to the box in the pictures are my own) can be yours if you just comment on this post. I'm thinking of doing a new cosplay costume, so share ideas with me :)

To enter giveaway, comment on this post and tell me what characters you would think would suit me well, or just which characters have cool looks!

Winner will be chosen randomly. The giveaway is open internationally, I will cover the shipping fees. Giveaway is open until 30.9.

Pencil swatches. Zero, Corrupt and Voodoo.

The pencils are travel size, cute and small!

I seem to be a bit late with finding out the giveaway winner, sorry! A big thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway, you all had wonderful ideas for new prints :) To choose a winner I used Random.org to give me a number between 1 and 29, which was the amount of comments on the post.

So number nine it is! And that means the lucky winner is...

Rogue x Bones & Lilies Giveway

I've been super happy with the prints I designed for Rogue to print on tops and skirts, so I though I could help my lovely readers to enjoy them too.

I'm giving away two tops, in your chosen print and size, so there will be two winners! The prints are Cats Will Come, with the cat skull, and Prince of the Forest, with a deer skull. The tops come in black and sizes available are XS, S, M, L and XL. The fabric is stretchy and soft.

To see more of stuff by Rogue, visit their Etsy-store! I'm loving the ouija pattern shirts and purses they have :)

To participate, comment on this post and tell me what kind of other pictures you would like to see me design for tops. Please also mention which print and in what size you would like if you are the lucky winner and list your email address so I can contact you after the winners have been selected.

1. What sort of designs would you like to see on tops in the future?

3. Which print and what size would you like your top to be if you win?

700 Readers Giveaway Winner!

I'm super late with this, but finally we have a winner for the 700 readers giveaway!

The prize: two nail polished, a dotting tool and a collection of great gothic music!

Lady Luck's favourite this time was entry number...

Two! That makes Nänni our winner!

Congratulations, you will receive an email soon! And a big thanks to everyone who entered and all who read my blog, it's great to have such nice readers :)

700 Readers Giveaway!

Here's what I got for you guys to celebrate 700 readers!

1. Essence nail art dotting tool. It has two different sized ends for the perfect little dots on your nails (or for making suction cups for tiny polymer clay tentacles!). I have a similar tool and have liked it, but this one is naturally brand new.

2. Two essence glitter polishes. 03 Glitz & Glam has rose pink glitter and a very unique green shimmer base. Works as a topcoat or on it's own with a few layers. 01 Pixie Dust is a topcoat with white sheen that shifts to pink. Very pretty!

3. This is Gothic Rock vol 1 compilation. This CD has a collection of new and older goth bands, mainly is the classic gothic rock style. I'm very fond of it, and not only because my other half's band is on it, but it's just the style of music I love. 

Glitz & Glam and Pixie Dust.

Tracklist of This is Gothic Rock vol 1.

600 Readers Giveaway!

It took me some time but here's the 600 readers giveaway, finally! Also to celebrate my blog's second b-day, yay! I wanted to pick the prizes so that they are great products that I have used and loved. All items are bought by me personally (well, except for the necklace, which I made).

The prize

In the end I settled on these things:

1. Topshop Velvet Lip matte liquid lipstick in Raven, pitch black. This stuff stays and stays! You can see me wearing it here. Incidentally I'm also wearing two of the three eyeshadows in the same picture.

2. Three eyeshadows by Femme Fatale, The Nightmare, Faerie Fire and Nethermancer. I just love The Nightmare and Faerie Fire, both have a strong green sheen. Faerie Fire is lavender and The Nightmare a dark purple, they go great together! Nethermancer I haven't tried myself, but it looked like it would work with both shades. It's a medium purple with a blue shift. Here you can see The Nightmare and Faerie Fire in action.

3. A skull with bat wings necklace made by me! It's band new and never worn. The skull has cool little rhinestone eyes to give it some sparkle.

500 Readers Giveaway!

Here's finally the giveaway to celebrate 500 readers. I want to thank you all, knowing I have such wonderful readers is a great encouragement to keep writing! I took the time to make a Facebook page for the blog, so it would be easier for people to always see when a new post is out. The page can be found here, please feel free to like it!

Edit: The giveaway is now closed, thanks for participating!

To enter the giveaway, comment on this post and tell me what kind of posts do you like the most in my blog! For an extra entry, share a link to the giveaway in your blog and comment again with the link. Please remember that the link should be a new comment just to make my life a lot easier!

The giveaway is open internationally and will close on 12.8.2013.

But now on to the prizes! I bought some items from Germany, the eyeshadows were ordered from the States and there's jewellery made by me. The winner gets a package containing:

A purple glittery bat necklace from Claire's.
Skin Gems pack from Claire's (I was sad to notice one gem had come loose in the package, but all the rest seem to be fine).
A Lips2Last liquid lipstick by Manhattan is bright red.
A black "French Manicure Pen", which is a nailpolish pen meant for doing decorations, it has a nice small tip.
"Brine" eyeshadow sample from Detrivore Cosmetics (Detrivore samples are huge!)
"Throwing Stones" eyeshadow sample from Darling Girl Cosmetics
Clock hand earrings by me.
Ribcage cameo necklace by me.
Four eyeshadows by Darling Girl. The shades are Haute Berry, Faux Pas, Eclipse and Elvin Magic.

A pile of stuff!

Clock hand earrings and the ribcage necklace. I really like the earrings, I have a pair myself and they are so light it feels
like you aren't wearing anything on your ears!

Skin Gems. There's the stupid one that's gotten loose from the base. I have a pack of these and just love the colour scheme.

Bat necklace. I got one of these for me, too ;P It was just too gorgeous to pass, I need everything that's purple, glittery and bat-shaped!

Darling Girl eyeshadows. These are the petit sized shadow, but they have quite a lot of product and come sealed with sifters. Haute Berry was a gift with purchase when I ordered these.

French Manicure Pen and Lips2Last lipstick. Once again I have both of these for myself too! The manicure pen draws neat, thin lines and the colour is opaque. The Lips2Last lipsticks have been my favourites, I'm too lazy to touch up my lips during the day but these just stay on and barely need any attention.

Sample baggies. I tossed these in because both were such lovely shades and I own these already, now someone else can enjoy them!

Good luck with the giweaway and thanks for reading my blog!

300 Readers Giveaway Winner!

I've had a super busy week, started yoga, ate sushi with a friend, tried to buy an apartment (the seller ended up asking too much for it, we didn't want to pay more than the place was worth!) and ate no less than two types of cake at the office. Now I'm down with a flu, so it's the perfect time to pick the giveaway winner!

There were 35 comments on the post, and this is what random.org said:

So the lucky winner is...

Rakel (Goddess of Gotland)

Congratulations! Please email me at karoliina.kalma@gmail.com so I can send the prize :)

A big thanks for everyone participating! I'll be gathering all the questions in one post and answer them, you had come up with such nice ones. 

Just to make the post more fun, here's a picture of a pile of sleepy kitties.
And my cute H&M Home bed linen :)

300 Readers Giveaway!

I'm so happy to have you all follow my blog! So I got some nice prizes for the giveaway from my trip to Cologne. I would have wanted to make another trip to a DM to have time to go through the selection, but I think I did pretty well even with a short visit.

To participate, you have to follow my blog and comment on this post telling me one question you would like to ask me! I'll collect all the questions in one post and answer them :) The giveaway is open internationally. It will be closed on 31st of August.

The giveaway is now closed, a huge thanks to everyone for participating!

Look at all the cool stuff and the pretty paper I got to serve as the background!
All this goes to the winner!

On to the prizes!

Color Club Fame & Fortune, P2 Pearl Crackling Top Coat Violet Fusion
and Essence Nail Art Topper Night in Vegas.

 First, the three nailpolishes. Color Club Fame & Fortune is a red jelly base with holographic flecks. P2 Pearl Crackling Top Coat in Violet Fusion is an awesome purple with gold shimmer and sheen, and has a crackle effect. Then there's  Essence Nail Art Special Effect! Topper in Night in Vegas. It's a colour shift flakie top coat, much like Essie Shine of the Times or Zoya Chloe. Looks gorgeous!

To finish your gorgeous nails, there are French manicure tip guides by Essence.

I also got beautiful earrings from Six. I got the same pair for my self, they are really comfy and look so pretty! They are NOT nickel free. (Might be, but I can't guarantee it, sorry!)

Last but not the least, there's a necklace made by me. It's made of hand-painted shrink plastic and has a silver coloured chain that's NOT nickel free. The chain is recycled, it's from a necklace I bought from a sale so I could re-use the nice beads it had attached. It's never been used, I only removed the beads and attached the new pendant. The design is unique, I painted it free-hand, it's a purple haired lady with tiny deer horns :)

Good luck to every one who participates and please share the link! If I get 20 new followers during the giveaway, I'll throw in two extra prizes so we can have three winners!

Edit: The starting amount of readers is 317, so if we reach 337, there will be more fabulous prizes for everyone! :)

100 Followers Giveaway!

The blog reached a hundred followers a few days ago, I'm so excited! I wanted to thank you all and decided to have a giveway. I have a set of earrings and a necklace made by me for the winner. They are made with purple and black skull cameos, silver metal parts and light purple glass beads. They are new and never been worn. They are NOT nickel-free, but the earring hooks are pure silver.

Edit: The giveaway is open until 26th of March! And you don't have to follow the blog to participate, simply commenting is enough.

Edit: Since I fell in love with a new blending brush, I got one extra and that's added to the giveaway to give my lovely readers a chance to own one, too :) So one lucky winner comes out with both the jewelry set AND a brand new brush!

It's brand new, still in original package, never been used eyeshadow blending brush with synthetic bristles, silver ferrule and a pretty, turquoise handle. It's sold only in Finland so far. Here's my review on it.
