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 like to win this gift for a friend who has just given birth to a lovely baby girl. She’s still in confinement and had no makeup for the past one month. Hopefully with this gift she will be a pretty mother once her confinement period is over.

Thank you for having this giveaway!!! =D
I would like to send this gift to my mom! She had been through a lot these two years and yet she had supported me in every decision I made. She’s the toughest, most independent woman I’ve known and she definitely deserve some pampering. I want her to know, although I’m always away due to work commitments, I love her to bits and she’s always on my mind.

I would like to gift them to my sister who seems to have little makeup/ beauty products. This is a good opportunity to expose her to them 🙂

I’d love to send this gift to my eldest sister because she’s giving birth to her first child next year.I hope I can give her some skincare products and cosmetics so that she can stay beautiful while busy taking care of newborn baby:-) I’m sure she’ll be stressed and tend to neglect her skin, hence I hope these products will keep her young and be a beautiful mom 😀
Charlie says
That is so generous of you!
I’d like to win this for my best friend of 11 years. Her birthday was on 6th December, and this year it was horrible. It was so horrible that she cried for three days. It will be a pleasant surprise if she can receive something nice. She deserves nice things 🙂
Happy holidays PB!
Julie says
I’ll like to win this for my best friend as she’s been with me through thick and thin and receiving this will definitely cheer her up as she loves presents. Have a Merry Christmas!

Hi would love to win this giveaway for my bestie who’s birthday is coming up at the end of the month. As I am absolutely broke this month and currently unemployed, it would mean the world to me to be able to gift her with something special in conjunction with christmas time and her birthday. Thanks so so much 🙂
Jesslyn Soh says
I would like to send this Christmas gift to my mum because her birthday is just 5 days before Christmas and I always buy her a birthday gift but not a Christmas gift. So, this year I’d like to make her birthday and Christmas really special. I am sure she will be surprised and delighted at the same time! And, she will know she is thought of not just on her big day but on special ocassions too 🙂
I am not very good with expressing my feelings with hugs and kisses so I hope to show her my love in different ways! thanks Paris …

I would send this to my aunt, who turned me on to makeup and beauty when she made me up as Cindy Lauper for Halloween when I was 8.
She’s a single woman in her 50s, and America’s economic recession has hit her, a sometimes-on, sometimes-off factory line worker, a bit hard. What extra moneynshe has she either pumps back into savings, or uses to pay for food and vet care for her morkie dog and bichon elderly dog. She doesn’t splurge much on herself anymore, and this round up would be such a luxurious suprise for her.
My aunt’s been a close friend and trusted loved one all my life. I’d love to see her a bit spoiled in a way that would really brighten her cold, Northwestern winter.
Jennifer says
Thanks for the giveaway Paris! I hope you will be showered with plenty of joy and gifts too 🙂 I’d like to dedicate this gift to my sister. I was an only child for 11 years before she came along. Though a lot younger than me, but I admire her positive outlook in life and the things that she will do to live life to the fullest. I am grateful for her existence and endless support to me whenever I am hit with a crisis especially this year. Thanks a lot and have a good year ahead 🙂
yee says
Awww what a nice thought for the holidays, Paris. 🙂
I’d love to have this gifted to a dear friend who’s just broken up with someone and it’s been tough. This would really cheer her up. She’s always been there when I needed someone, and she loves makeup but can’t really afford the medium-higher end stuff cos she only started working not too long ago. This would be the perfect Christmas gift to her!
Abby says
Thanks for the double giveaway! Very generous of you Paris.
Well, I’d LOVE to win this for my girlfriend. Reason one, she is very new to makeup and real skincare so this would be SUCH A TREAT! Second, her birthday is in less than a month and I am still scratching my head as to what to get her. This would be awesome. And third, it is almost Christmas after all!! AND she is local too, so I’d probably be able to get it to her for the double celebration!
Thanks again.

qilah says
i’d like to give this giveaway to my best friend as she had been through a lot of ups and downs this year. I hope this give would make her feel loved and show my appreciation to her for being strong and never give up.

Hi Paris!
I would love to send the gift to my mom! She has done everything for me and I would really love to give something back as she is also just starting to wear make up so this would be the perfect opportunity! Thank You!

Hi!
I was google-ing for Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandoulière 25 Empreinte Monogram and somehow I clicked on your blog to read further about that gorgeous Speedy. Less did I know that I’m going to come across a blog that gives great info about almost everything about women stuff. The name explains it all!!! As I interestingly read your blog further, “Win! Send a Gift of Christmas: It is better to give than to receive” definitely catches my eyes.
My best friend is getting married on the 1st week of January 2013 and I want nothing less than a great gift for her before she walks down the aisle. Being a woman, she is no exception to cosmetics, skincare products, fashion; I mean, everything about women stuff. I will be delighted if I could win this gift and present them to her. 😀
Thanks!

I would like to send this to my sister despite all those insensitive things she said to me in the past. Maybe it’s just me because when we meet up, she appears to be just nonchalant. I usually just ‘switch off’ when she speaks…to protect myself. I think the time has come for me to let bygones be bygones.

Hello there!
This is so nice that we can throw a beloved one a surprise -and also get one for us 🙂
If I win, I would like to send this present to one of my pregnant friends, o remind her that moms can and should be well-groomed, too 🙂
Thank you!!!!
kimmyz says
Paris! First of all, thanks for the giveaway! Very sweet of you….
I would like to give this lovely gift to my sister! Her name is Victoria and I must say, being the elder sister, I haven’t been as generous as I should. She has just started work not too long ago and is still getting use to being financially independent. Not being able to splurge or shop during such a festive season can be depressing so getting a surprise pressie like this would make her really happy. SO…I really hope she gets pick and she remembers that “Thanks to her che (& of course, you too), she got something really nice!”.

I would like to bring this happiness to my lovely sister and wish her to have a wonderful Christmas ever! We come from a conventional/traditional family that seldom celebrate any festival including family member’s birthday. So, by having this chance, I wish she will be happy with this surprise.
