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.
- Optional: Share this with your friends on your social media profiles. No need to tell me about it. Just share the love because you just never know how it may return to you. Perhaps your friend is thinking of you too! 🙂
Also, because you are so lovely and generous, I will also send you a little gift 🙂 Sometimes, its just as good to receive as it is to give 😀
Please read the general terms and conditions here if you are new. Giveaway is open worldwide, and ends 12 noon 19 December 2012 (+8 GMT).
So go on, give the gift of Christmas to a loved one 🙂 Good luck!

I would send this gift to my young sister. She just started her college life, so I believe she should really start to dress up herself and be presentable. Some investments on cosmetics product will definitely help her on this.
Tuti says
Hi PB, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, it is still early, but I believe everyone is in the mood for the festive. Living through year 2012 and look forward for brighter future. Many good things happen in this year and at the same time bad things happen, but this is called the balance. Yin and yang.
For the gift, I would like to dedicate it to my sister, as she is very blind about makeup, hope she will pick up the lesson each and every day. Every woman should master basic makeup. And also I would like to give my biggest support and pray for her as she is trying to conceive baby, hopefully everything will go well and success.
Some people just so easy to have baby yet not appreciate, but some spend all their fortune to have the little angel.
And not forgotten, to you too PB, as you are one of my inspirational blog that I keep follow up everyday, I am sure this year is quite tough, things go up and down in your life. But I am truly glad that you make it. You are a wonder woman 🙂

My mother!! She doesn’t really do makeup because she thinks it’s too expensive and a waste of money but I’d love for her to try beautifying her (though she’s beautiful enough as it is) because she’s been divorced since I was born and I’d love for her to meet someone new!! Oh and I have exams over Christmas and on the 31st Dec this year (booooooooo to horrible university schedules) so I’d love for her to get a little something even though I won’t be able to take time to go out and shop for her. ANYWAY. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE…!!!=DDD
Sam says
I’m not going to enter this year, but just wanted to say how much my mum and I loved your kind and generous gift last year. We’ve had so much fun playing with everything and found some great favourites!
Ling says
I would like to have this lovely gift sent to my friend that accompany her husband to Cambodia who works there for a project of few years, there isn’t any proper shop nearby the place they stay, needless to say shopping malls! She’ll really feel ‘alive’ again if she gets this!
Ethan says
Hi, I would love to win the gift for my mom. She works so hard to make christmas special for all of the family i want to give her something special to say thanks. She loves makeup its her passion and my passion is skincare 😉
Emy Shin says
If I win, I would give the gift to my mom, because she is somebody who never treats herself because she expends all her energy, time, and money on those she loves. 🙂
Petrina says
I would like to send this to one of my best friends who had recently been through some difficult times medically and mentally. She has mourned a loss close to her heart and could have lost her life due to poor medical care. She is still recovering both physically and emotionally and though this will not take away her pain it might cheer her up ( she is a girly girl ).

I’d love to give this to my mother! I’m still a student and my measly allowance can’t afford the luxuries that I’d liker her to have (one day though, when I’m already working). I’d like to give her this for all the love and patience in raising me. My mother’s make-up is very spartan (close to nada), she’d rather buy food for the family than buy something for herself. Money has been tight especially after she suffered from a stoke… If she would win this, she’d definitely feel like a queen like she definitely is!
Wong Shue Voon says
Hi Paris, I would love to give this to my mum and I want to let her know that I love her very much. Although she seldom make up, but sometimes, she asked me to help her in make up for occasions, it does close the gap between us. It strengthens our bond.
Stephanie avoinette says

Love xxxx

Thanks for the giveaway!! I would like to send this to my mother. My mother thinks that doomsday will be on the 21st of Dec 2012. If she is proven wrong, i want her to have this present to remind her to rejoice in the present and be beautiful. Because she is very beautiful. 😀 Thanks for the giveaway. Good luck to everyone!
Michelle says
I’d like to send this to a very dear friend of mine because she needs to believe that there are no ugly women, only lazy ones. This beauty gift would be the perfect kickstart!
Sandra says
Thank you Paris for doing this giveaway.
I would like to send this gift to my best friend. She just recently went through a divorce and has four little ones. She’s only 28 but you’d think she’s older if you met her in person. She has such a big heart and has put her children and eveyone else ahead of her – so much to the point that I think she’s forgotten about herself (particularly her looks). After a year of her divorce, she has just started showing an interest in improving her looks. I think that if she received this as a gift, she’d put it to great use and it would boost her confidence. She’s truely beautiful – both on the inside and outside but as we all know – a little skin care and makeup can make such a big difference!
Thank you again for such a lovely giveaway!
Ivanka says
Hi PB!
That is so sweet of you to make this giveaway for everyone! Thank you in advance!
I would like to send this to my mom because I just want her to indulge in these beauty picks as she always tell me that it is too expensive to splurge on beauty products. She is a saver so she would not spend much on skin products. I want her to be the happiest mom to win this prize giveaway!~
lynne says
Like most posters, I’d love for this to be sent to my Mum. I’ve always been trying to convince her to doll herself up more, but she’s convinced that after 20-odd years of slogging away for the family there is no need for her to look ‘pretty’ anymore. If I can’t be there to nag her about taking care of herself (oh how roles have reversed), then at least she’d be surrounded by these reminders.
Yi says
Sorry there is a typo:
I would like to send this gift to my mum who lives in the US because she is the best mother in the world. We only get to MEET a few years once, if lucky, once a year!
Samantha L says
Hi Paris!
I would like to win this for my mother for it will be a very nice Christmas gift for her since I’m still a student and have no means to be able to afford anything too nice.
Thank you!
Aby Teo says
Happy Christmas Paris :DD
I think one of my dear best girlfriend would be very happy to receive the gift! she is a pure girl, I mean pure without any make up or skin care 😛 I would really like to surprise her with all these girl things. She is a girl afterall =) She has her inner beauty which is very good but I want her to grabs the different happiness and excited feeling for becoming a special beauty with all these great items. With your kindness, I wish her and my dream can come true in this Happy Christmas Season xD
thanks for the Christmas Giveaway! ^___^

Hi, I’d be sending this to my best friend who is a beauty-junkie just like me. I’d love to surprise her with this! Thanks for the giveaway 🙂 xo
