The Grey Annual Sale + Giveaway!

The Grey Giveaway

The Grey Annual Sale is this weekend, between the 29th and 30th of August from 12pm - 7pm, at The Social Place Lagos. 

To celebrate we are offering a N10,000 voucher to one follower/reader!

Unfortunately for some of us, this Giveaway will be running exclusively on Instagram (@LoveTWP), so interested people must: follow Grey (@GreyProjects); repost the giveaway flyer on their own page; hashtag #GreyGiveaway to qualify. 

The giveaway will run from Tuesday 25th August and winner announced on 27th of August. 

The voucher is non-transferable and only for use on the days of the sale (29th & 30th August), so the winner must be able to come to the sale to get their voucher.

Savvy & Chic Garden Party Giveaway

This is soooo late and I know Dabs is going to have my guts for garters...but better late than never, no?

So the lovely Dabs of the Savvy & Chic Beauty Hub (I blogged about my visit to her salon HERE) is having a floral themed garden party this weekend and the kicker is that I get to invite one fab reader of ThirdWorldProfashional to come with me and hunt down small chops.

The event is STRICTLY by invitation, so if you want a chance to have a relaxing, scrumptious, socially interactive time as we discuss the role of bloggers in todays society, while still keeping an eye out for cocktails and small chops, (but that's just between us), then ENTER, ENTER, ENTER!

Please note, Giveaway is restricted to Lagos readers only or anybody that can be in Lagos this weekend and please, for the love of Carrie Bradshaw, adhere to the theme. Its a floral themed event so floral head-pieces, dresses, accessories etc.

I'm expecting a fly TWP tag team so please don't dull. Pictures taken at the event will also feature in the next issue of the Savvy & Chic Beauty Hub Magazine.

Date: Sunday 28th September 2014
Venue: To be disclosed to the winner only
Time: 3pm prompt

You can enter by leaving a comment below with a haiku addressing the failing standards of education in post-war nations....

Hahahahahaha

Please enter by leaving a comment with your name and email address so I can contact you when you win. Winner will be chosen by a random number generator.

Since I'm operating on Nigerian time and kicking off this Giveaway with just a week to the event, it is only valid till Wednesday. Giveaway closes Wednesday at 12pm, winner will be announced shortly after.

So yay! I'm excited! Looking forward to picking my partner in crime for the day, and after it we definitely have to go for a fro-yo to calm our nerves.

Good luck!

Beauty Kink Review

So a while ago I received some items from online beauty store, Beauty Kink (www.beautykink.com) to review.

Now I usually hardly ever review beauty products, that's because I don't use a lot of make-up and if you send me something like a contour kit you're wasting your time, I won't use it. If its not stuff I actually use like my MAC stuff (Studiofix, primer, brow pencil, lipsticks), weaves or bath and body products (shower gels, scrubs, body butters)...I'm a sucker for bath and body stuff, I won't be able to honestly review it because for the life of me I don't know how one shade of eyeshadow is more pigmented than the other...zero idea.

So when I was contacted by Beauty Kink, my default reaction was to send my usual nice email declining their offer, then I had a look at their site. I've been slacking majorly because I don't really buy beauty stuff online so I had zero idea of how the online beauty market in Nigeria has simply blown up. Its fascinating! You can get everything online, I know I sound like such a rube right now but I'm really shocked at what's out there.

I mean Beauty Kink has ALL my ish, MAC products, my beloved Milk of Magnesia, weaves, make-up accessories......I was all goggle-eyed like yoooooo.

It is basically a one-stop-shop for customers searching for makeup products, hair products, skincare products, weaves and extensions, tools etc.

They stock a wide range of brands such as Ben nye, Graftobian, MAC, Revlon, Mary Kay, Mehron,Sugar Pill, Skindinavia, Sleek, ELF cosmetics, Bdellium, Sigma, Morphe brushes and so much more.

They are authorized retailers of U.S cosmetics company BH COSMETICS, Milani and also our Nigerian brands here such as Zaron, BMPRO, Tara and so much more.

They pride themselves in their delivery service and with their delivery partner DHL, they deliver to all 36 states in Nigeria. They also offer next day delivery within Lagos and 2-5 days for outside Lagos

They accept Cash on delivery orders within the Lagos Metropolis, payment online with any Nigerian Bank Issued Cards and Direct bank transfer.

They are currently only the Nigerian beauty store that offers FREE consultations for its customers and also sends out FREE foundation and concealer samples for customers to test their shades before buying!

So even though I couldn't use what I was sent I am so impressed by the items they have for sale, there's something there for everyone and the convenience of online shopping is always a plus.

So these are the items I received below from Beauty Kink

Since I cannot in all honesty review them I've decided to give them away instead, I'm sure this will make some budding MUA very happy.

No great shakes, simply leave a comment below with your name and email address and the winner will be chosen by a random number generator. The Giveaway will close at midnight on Tuesday, June 17th and the winner will be announced on Thursday, June 19th.

Items can only be delivered within Lagos, so if you win and you live outside the state you have to provide a Lagos address to have the items delivered to.

Also Beauty Kink will be offering a 10% discount on all items to TWP Readers, yay right!

Simply enter the code "twp10" after purchasing items on the site, code is valid for a month.

GIVEAWAY

So I wanted to do a Giveaway for my Lagos Profashionals and after racking my brain for the perfect item I settled on this FAB dress from the Virgos Lounge Glam Grunge collection

*ding! ding! ding! ding!

This beyootiful dress follows the Virgos Lounge famous vintage inspired ethic and comes in velvet with a fabulously detailed beaded and bedazzled neckline which is repeated around the v shaped dip in the back.

Gorge!

For my last giveaway I asked a question and the winner was the first person to answer correctly but I received a lot of feedback suggesting that choosing a random winner would be more democratic, so in this giveaway I am doing just that.

The giveaway will be open for one week ending on Sunday 14th October 2012. I will announce the winner on Monday the 15th

So here's how you can win this awesome freakum dress:

1. Follow ThirdWorldProfashional dot com on Google Friend connect
2. Like the ThirdWorldProfashional facebook page
3. Leave a comment below with your first name and email address (I know people don't like dropping their government name on the internet), and I will pick the winner with a random number generator. 

So you see, no tiresome questions, just drop your first name and email address and cross your fingers hoping the wheel of fortune will swing your way. Deadline is Sunday 14th October 11.59pm. No multiple entries please. Contest is open to Lagos residents only, let me rephrase that, it is open to everybody everywhere but I can only deliver within Lagos so if you live in Abuja and you have someone in Lagos that can pick it up for you that's fine.

The dress is a size 10.

Good luck everyone, the winner will be announced on the blog on Monday 15th October.
