The server for MWS has been up and down so much in the past few days, I’m starting to feel seasick 😛 But it should be behind us now. I’ve sucked it up, paid more money and we have moved to a more powerful server so we shouldn’t be experiencing too much downtime after this. (If you still have a problem, please clear cache or flush your DNS and everything will be peachy 🙂 )
So, I apologise for the enforced break, but it gave me a little time to come up with this 😀 To thank you for your patience while we put our house in order after the move, and because its become somewhat a tradition here at MWS around this time, I’d like to run a Christmas giveaway with a difference. Some of you may remember this from the past few years 😀
Its better to give than to receive so here’s a gift for you to send to anyone, anywhere in the world! A pouchful of beauty goodies for a friend, or a family member, to show you’re thinking of them at this time of year. To find out how, read on 😀
To participate, here’s how you can win a gift for someone:-
- Compulsory: Leave a comment below telling me who you want this gift to be sent to and why.

It would be nice to give my sister a gift because she’s been through a lot this year with juggling her final year in university while working part-time. She constantly puts herself down saying how she’s never been good with beauty/make up stuff so I thought a little motivation couldn’t hurt 🙂
Happy Holidays to you PB! 🙂
Thank you Paris for this giveaway! I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now but I’ve never dared to comment until now. I’d like to gift the set for my mom. I’ve seen many sweet comments wanting to win this giveaway for loved ones. Mothers are the best! I’d like to appreciate my mom with something special this Christmas. She means the world to me although I’ve not really expressed this to her as I’ve just started my first job. She’s the best mom to me as she has managed to put me through university while taking care of my older sister who requires constant attention (she’s a “special child”). I really hope she wins this giveaway as she deserves a little pampering and needs to look after herself more. I guess thats all I have to share. Have a blessed and merry christmas!
i would like it to be sent to the Superwoman! aka my mum! Being a single parent with 3 kids to raise on a meager salary, my mum has been very frugal and rarely spends money on herself. Thus, she only has a handful of beauty items! I really do hope that she can enjoy caring for herself without worrying or being guilty about the cost. 🙂 Thnaks for the giveaway Paris! Merry Christmas! 😀
yea, i’d realise that your server went down cause when i just couldn’t get to your page and read your blog. glad that it’s okay now!
I’d like to share this Christmas gift to my mom because she’s too busy on her work and to take care of all the family members that she got not much time to dress up herself and invest on beauty products. Besides, due to my final on 26th dec, i couldn’t be back to my hometown to celebrate Christmas with her. I feel guilty for this. So hopefully can surprise her or make her happy with this Christmas present send to her.
Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Hi! I would like to send this gift to a friend who I met through University, she is an international student and absolutely loves skincare products. She hasn’t been home in a couple years now and I think this would make her very happy. 🙂
I would give the gift to my mom because she never buys make up for herself. She is still using the free gift with purchase items she got ages ago. I want to indulge her in a little treat since trying new stuff is so fun.
I’d give this pack to my mama as she always deserves something nice to indulge in 🙂 she always works so hard and comes home with work to do. On weekends she spends most of her time accompanying my dad so he doesn’t have to be alone but that also means less of her ‘me-time’ for herself! she doesn’t splurge much on beauty products nor does she shop excessively because she’d rather save the money for other things like household items. a lot of my mama’s time besides work goes to making her family happy by baking pies or cakes. so this Christmas season I’d like to see her extra happy just because.
I nominate Cheah Hsu Jen! Simply because her face needs all the help she can get! 🙂
I’d like this gift to be sent to my colleague, Christine Thong, because with all the crazy work hours she’s been putting in to help cover for everyone else who are on Christmas break, she deserves a real treat. 🙂
Hi Paris!
Awesome blogpost. Its a season to give!
I think the person who deserves this the most, is my shy friend Wye Yin!
She absolutely loves looking pretty. Always the demure lady.
I’m sure with Paris’ Little Helpers, she will look even more amazing.
Thanks for this wonderful giveaway!!
I would like to sent this gift to my best friend whom i known for long years. We went through many stages in life together, from school girl to office lady now she’s a mother of one. Hopefully, she can still be as gorgeous as the past with this.
I hope to win this gift for my mother. Ever since my father passed away last year, my mum has been very depressed. It took so long for her to finally regain normal daily life although everyday she still misses my dad. Without my dad by her side, she did not bother about daily skin care and make up. It was only until a couple of months ago when she became better and started to use some simple skin care and cosmetics that I bought for her. I hope that she realizes that we can be independent even without dad by our side. It was tough time for us, but I hope that we will still enjoy our moment together and pamper ourselves. Treasure every moment that we have in our life.
Thanks for the generous giveaway Paris! I wish to send the gifts to not only one person but those who will make good use of the products and truly appreciate them. I hope to make everyone I know feeling appreciated and blessed with a thoughtful gift during the festive season.
I’d love for my girlfriend to get this… she’s been having a really rough year. Her son has chronic painfilled nights and she’s up often to give him comfort. The doctors can’t seem to diagnose what’s wrong with him so that adds tension. Her daughter is trying hard to cope with almost no attention from mummy and her hubby is either not around or adds to the tension in the house. To me, she seems a bedrock of stability and confidence although I’m honored to be one of the few she shares her feelings with. I think a surprise beauty prezzie will help her remember she’s not just a mummy but a wonderful beautiful woman too! Cos that’s how I see her.
Who else? My mother of course. Over the past years she has been our family’s silent hero- always giving and never asking for anything. She would not buy anything for herself and would not allow us to buy her anything. Recently she was diagnosed with mild dementia. So, while her memory still serves her well, I would like her to receive this gift. She will be thrilled as she has never won anything before and its FREE!
Thanks for such a thoughtful giveaway!
I’d give the gift to my sister. We’re really close but our skin type and tones do not match so I can’t share the same recommendations with her. She’s just started with all this makeup/skincare business and I would love for her to be able to try different products to find what she likes without having to spend a lot of money (or hoard samples from Sephora :P).
I would like to send this gift to my mum who shower her love endlessly from the first breath I take.
She is ageing and I never get to see her the way she use to be when she was young. I would really love to give her this as a Christmas present to see her sweet smile deep down from her heart with joy when receive this lovely present. It will be the best gift for both of us for this Christmas.
No one would deserve better than her.
I would like to send this gift to my sister because she’s too busy studying and i want her to be smart and pretty! thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Thanks Paris B for the lovely giveaway!
I wanted to sent this gifts to my lovely mom who is living in her retirement. She has done so much at taking care of us and the family. She always doesn’t want me to spent much money getting gifts for her simply because she says I need to save it for emergency. I still remember the day, my mom told me that she has no income and cannot afford to help us if we faced any financial problems. Thus, she’d rather not be praised, but she’s happy to help set an example of what
makes a good.
Hi there, i would like to send this gift to my dearest mum. She rarely splurges on beauty products for herself and although I hope to give her the best, I still cannot afford it coz I’m not working yet and I won’t be able to be back home this Christmas too due to exams. So I hope that this gift will make her very happy this Christmas and till I can afford to splurge on her. Thank you!
