“Let us be grateful to the people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.” – Marcel Proust
I’ve been wanting to do a giveaway for a little bit now and there’s no time like the present. You guys have been showing ReadBetweenTheEyeliner a lot of love lately and I wanted to celebrate getting over 100 dedicated followers. I’ve been really enjoying blogging this year and I really appreciate those of you who take the time to read, comment, and “like” my posts.
I’ve decided to give away a little bit of makeup, skincare, and literature- everything my blog is about!
I’m giving away:
- MAC lipsticks in “Fashion Revival” and “Living Legend”
- A Make Up For Ever lipstick in “#52”
- Your very own Make Up For Ever empty magnetic palette,
- Two Sephora konjac sponges
- A Colourpop highlighter in “Monster”
- A copy of ‘Purple Hibiscus’ by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
- A copy of ‘I Capture The Castle’ by Dodie Smith
I included these two novels because the Bildungsroman (a coming of age novel) is my favourite literary genre and these two are a fine, fine, example of the genre. I chose ‘Purple Hibiscus’ partly because Chimamanda is one of my favourite authors and partly because I believe more people should be reading African literature. ‘I Capture The Castle’ is a classic that made me fall in love with Bildungsromane and it’s superbly written by Dodie Smith (of ‘101 Dalmations’ fame).
