Oh hello there, it’s October and that means, giveaway time! Hip hip hooray!
Regulars may have noticed something missing this year from our regular schedule. Yes, we’re missing the MWS Reader’s Choice Awards which I’ve run for 2 years now but couldn’t this year due to various reasons which I won’t bore you with here. Perhaps next year, it’ll make a comeback. Maybe, if I grow an extra arm or two… feel free to volunteer your services.
But what also happens at around this time every year are giveaways 🙂 I don’t run many on my blog, as you will notice. I save them up for special occasions and October is always very special for me. So there’ll be a few giveaways lined up to thank you for sticking by me all this time, despite the lack of giveaways and interactions others have with readers 🙂
I’m not telling you how many there are or when they’ll appear. You’d have to keep your eyes peeled and stay locked into one of our update channels (namely Twitter, Facebook and Instagram) because there maybe some that are just blink and miss! Don’t say I didn’t warn you 😉 This giveaway is hosted by me and sponsored by me so I’ll be giving out some gift packages of various items, all of which will contain at least one personal favourite.
Kicking things off is this Tantalizing Trio which can be worn in all seasons (I take care of both Northern AND Southern hemispheres!) and is therefore, naturally open WORLDWIDE! Hop along, you know you want to.
Giveaway Set #1
Up for grabs is a Shiseido Shimmering Rouge lipstick in RS308 a deep plummy rose (I have a swatch of it here). Accompanying it is a Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadow in Bold Gold and a neutral Lunasol nail polish in 08 Reddish Beige.
For a chance to win the Giveaway Set #1 here’s what you have to do:-
Leave a comment in this post and tell us:-
- Describe one popular food or dish where you are living right now; AND

You may share this and follow me on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram but it isn’t compulsory. Just nice.

Love pasta dishes, so many varieties available. Easy to prepare as well. Quick, easy and tasty… satisfying every time 😉
Been following MWS for the longest time. The spectrum of topics does not end at beauty related, and you brought up good topics and sometimes makes me wonder and be curious about things. Thank you for doing this. Looking forward to more materials from you. Good day! 🙂

Hmm, i’m not actually sure what is really popular in Canada right now for food, since all my family and i eat is asian food (unfortunately). Poutine?
I really love your discussions, since they offer more depth than most blog posts from others (makes us think more).
Love your blog btw! Keep up the good work!!!

1.Describe one popular food or dish where you are living right now
I would say MyBurger LAB near where I stay in Paramount, Sea Park. One of the best place for awesome burgers. Simple, juicy, satisfying.
2.What makes you return to MWS (if you are a returning reader) or what might prompt you to return?
I find your reviews very REAL & that I as an average woman can relate to it. It is not commercialized and it touches me!

Hi.. I live at Kuala Lumpur, one of the popular food here is mamak rojak.. Mamak rojak (or Indian rojak) contains fried dough fritters, bean curds, boiled potatoes, prawn fritters, hard boiled eggs, bean sprouts and cucumber mixed with a thick, delicious spicy peanut sauce.
I love your blog because you are not only does product reviews but also all the information provided for beauty lovers… I am obsessed with finding out what people are using on their faces to make them look so gorgeous (especially people like you), so this blog gives me my fix!!

Nasi Lemak!!! Or in English Coconut Milk rice! I am living in Malaysia and this traditional Malay Dish has become my personal favourite. The rice served is cooked with a good dose of coconut milk and the RED SPICY sauce cooked with ikan bilis (anchovies) will be served beside the rice.Normally there will be hard boiled eggs , fried peanuts and cucumber slices as the side dressings but on occasional times,you get one big fat juicy piece of chicken in spicy sauce too to spice up your morning.I personally love my nasi lemak sauce a little bit sweeter a.k.a the malay style and oh god,my mouth is watering right now.
I read MWS like every single day or when there’s a new post.The reason?Easy,Paris B you are seriously funny and witty with a charm of your own that shows in your words.And its not just about beauty only where we sometimes get advice (life advice too) which makes me loyal reader!
joann says
I’m from Canada and since it’s October ( and also canadisn thanksgiving is coming up) anything pumkin themed is around. Pumkin spiced lattes to pumkin pies or tarts. Theyre everywhere!
I actually only recently found your website. And I’m glad I did too. I love your lipstick swatches. I’m pretty sure I back tracked about 15 pgs just looking at all your postings and swatches. I actually just purchased dior addict lipstick in riviera based on your swatch!
I love your website and I check for updates every couple of days.
ALY says
Asam laksa! in KL 😀
I love your reviews, they’re so real and normally before I buy a product, I’ll see your reviews beforehand.
Ting says
Hello Paris! Is October your birthday month? :p
I don’t want to win the giveaway – too many products in my possession. But i thought it’s fun to throw in the answers to your questions:
(1) Som Tum (or papaya salad)
(2) Always something fun to read. 😀
Paris B says
Haha well, if it was that would make it special right? 😉
Jae Tan says
1. I’m from Penang. And as you know Penang is quite famous for the wide variety of famous and delicious foods, which makes it hard for me to choose one. However, the thing I would crave for the most might probably be the Asam Laksa. Hehe. ^,^
2. No doubt your reviews makes me keep returning back to MWS every time I receive newsletters of your new blogpost. It is very helpful and informative. I like it. =)
Aube says
I live in Belgium and one of the most popular food here is chocolate 🙂 we like to think that ours is better than the swiss one.
I always return to MWS because you don’t only write beauty reviews but also talk about a lot of other subject and often ask questions to your readers ^^
ina Yorendra says
Hi Paris! I live in KL but im not local. My fave food here is hokkien mee:).
I love your blog because your your review is honest and comprehensive. I can search most of the thing I am interested in.
S. Drama&Makeup says
Italy has a lot of great food so answering the first question isn’t easy!
One of the most popular worldwide is probably pizza 🙂 I love how it’s differently made in various parts of my country and how people fight how it’s supposed to be done, it’s hilarious.
I have to say my favorite pizza is the one my mom makes 🙂
You are what makes me come to MWS every day! I love the way you write, your honesty and your jokes 🙂
Thank you for the great giveaway!
