OMG FINALLY | Two-Year Blog Anniversary + GIVEAWAYYYY

AGGGH FINALLY

THE TIME IS COME

IT IS HERE

AGHHHH

[insert screaming/running/crying/rocking/fangirling/asdfghjkl-ing/general excited-ness]

I. HAVE. OFFICIALLY. BEEN. BLOGGING. FOR. TWO YEARS!

And I have 73 beautiful followers to show for it! And an awesome community of blogger friends! Yay! Blogging is so worth it!

I just want to take right now to say thank you to all of you who stuck with me, especially from that rough beginning. And I want to thank all of you followers--you found my blog, looked around, and said "you know what, I like it here, I think I'll come back regularly." JUST THANK YOU. I find it so cute (yes I'm sorry I'm always mentally calling my followers "cute" because that's what you guys are to me you are cute) that you all chose to follow me. And I love all your little encouraging comments; sometimes when I'm feeling sad, I reread your old comments, and they make me smile. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH. I would certainly not be here if it weren't for you adorable people. And who knows, maybe this time next year, we'll have hit 100 and I'll be able to give you guys awesome stuff more regularly.

Speaking of giving away awesome stuff...has a girl named Olivia been ending a bunch of her recent posts with teasers of a giveaway? Well, that's strange, because...she was right!

AND HERE IT IS UGH FINALLY

Watch the vid below, and if you want to see the contest details again more clearly, read on below the video!

(sorry if I didn't sound all that excited; that was my second time recording the video as the first time I spent like ten minutes going over all the details, just to find out that the camera had been completely out of focus the entire time -_-)

Here are the rules/details laid out more clearly. (Sorry if it seems a bit long; if you want you can just read the "RULES" and "HOW TO ENTER" parts for now)

Below are some better pics of the prizes--although they might still be a bit blurry as I always shake when I take photos (I have no idea why)

First prize:

Second prize:

Third prize:

this shade is called "just plum good" (I would've showed the actual shade names of the lip glosses in the pictures but the print was so tiny that the camera just would not focus on it)

this one's called "apple a day"

this one is "blooming balm"

can I just say that I love this shade or more like it's shade name like if it wasn't blue I would wear it just because it's called "like, comment, or share" like really who came up with that because that is literally the perfect shade name

this one's purple; kinda hard to tell from the photo

by the way, there is a difference between this one and "Pretty in Mink"--I think this one is just straight black while Mink is more of a gray.
