Oui Emmy

1st Blogiversary + Jo Malone & Benefit Giveaway

Let me be the first to say, welcome to Oui, Emmy! While rebranding the site from Haul & Dupes was a long thought about decision, it still was quite difficult to go through with it all. But, I’m very happy I did. Not only is today the day I officially relaunch under the new name, it is also my one year blogiversary. Over the past year I have hit so many little mile stones and small goals that I have set for myself, but it wouldn’t be anything without the blogging community and you lovely readers. So I wanted to celebrate by doing a little something for you all as a thank you.

If you follow me on twitter or instagram, you may have seen some sneak peaks of what I was putting together for my celebratory giveaway. I’ve been excitedly picking out a bunch of my favorites and holy grails to include and I’m so happy to finally share them!

Oui Emmy Blogiversary Giveaway: Jac Vanek Canvas Makeup Bag 'If all else fails, put on bright red lipstick'

This makeup bag by Jac Vanek was actually the first thing that I picked out for the giveaway. Cheeky makeup bags make me ridiculously happy, almost as much as a bright bold lip color. So all of my holy grails will be sent off in this oddly appropriate wrapping.

Oui Emmy Blogiversary Giveaway: Jo Malone Nutmeg + Ginger Cologne, Benefit Bella Bamba box of blush

Am I excited about the end of sunshine days and hanging out in the backyard after work with a Gin & Tonic? Not in the slightest. The only reason I’m ok with Autumn coming up so quickly is that it means the return of boots, dark berry shades, and heavier Fall scents. And, I couldn’t think of a better fragrance to wear into transitioning seasons than Jo Malone‘s Nutmeg & Ginger cologne. It smells so much like Fall I can already see the leaves turning gold.

Honestly, you have no idea how hard it was to include this box of Benefit Bella Bamba Blush (written about in my favorite blushes here). I have gotten so much use out of my current box that I want to hoard this extra like a Tolkien dragon does gold. And yet, because I love it so, I know you probably will too.

Oui Emmy Blogiversary Giveaway : Skyn Iceland Fresh Start Mask, Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels, Etude House Black Head Remover sheet mask

Skyn Iceland is a brand I absolutely adore, their Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels not only do wonders at reviving my under eye area in the morning – but they also stay in place. The Fresh Start Mask is a dual phase one and leaves my skin absolutely glowing. The Etude House Black Head Remover Dual Sheet is also a dual phase one, but effectively dissolves those black spots that may linger on your nose.

Oui Emmy Blogiversary Giveaway: Nails Inc Autumn/Winter Collection, Pacifica Eyeliner, Loreal Eyeshadow, NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme in Copenhagen, Espionage Cosmetics Cold Blooded Killer Lip Serum

Nails Inc is probably one of my favorite nail polish brands and the Autumn/Winter collection should be a good kick off to the season for your manicure, not to mention how fun the cheetah print file was. A L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Continuous Cocoa. The NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme in Copenhagen? Had to include that. And if you remember reading about my experience with Espionage Cosmetics (read here), you’ll know how much I like their Lip Serum.

So if you would like to win these goodies, you can enter via the widget below. Open to international contestants but winner will be responsible for custom fees if applicable. Good luck everyone and thank you all for sticking with me over the year! I can’t wait to see who ends up winning! =D
