The Big 100 Giveaway! CLOSED





There are absolutely no words to describe how excited I am that The Fashion Skitch has reached the 100 Likes on Facebook! I am extremely grateful that you have all given my blog a chance being as this is a project I've been carrying out for a while now as a way to keep me constantly illustrating. Let me tell you, it works! Also, I was always creating things here and there so I thought that putting up this blog would be a great way to archive all my ideas and share them with my friends. I never imagined it would be the success it has been! It only makes me want to create more posts and keep you guys entertained, even if it's just for a quick read.


I was anxiously waiting for the moment that Like counter hit 100 so I thought up of the best way to say thanks and that's with a giveaway! It wasn't easy picking out the prizes but I thought that it would be cool if I chose a prize that would reflect the three most important factors of my blog: DIY, fashion and beauty. So here's what's up for grabs:



Anna Sui's "Live Your Dream" 


"Live Your Dream by Anna Sui is a floral woody musk fragrance for women, introduced in 2009. Top notes are floral notes, white pepper and lily-of-the-valley; middle notes are jasmine and Bulgarian rose; while base notes are sandalwood, tonka beans, musk, cedar and teak wood."

I had been meaning to get this for a while and I thought it was a fantastic prize as I've featured Anna Sui in my blog before. I think it's quite a summery perfume and it could suit anybody. Rose scented perfumes have been present in my perfume stash since I could remember and it's a scent dear to my heart. I love the rosy notes in it (you all know I love rose scented things!) and how sweet it is. In my opinion, it's a very nice every day perfume. I even got one for myself! 


Hard Candy's Naturally Naughty Mini Must Haves



























Absolutely love this kit! Hard Candy products are super cool and when I saw this, I thought it was a fantastic treat! The shadows suit every skin tone and don't even get me started on that gold glitter mascara. What a way to play up any eye look! The kit also includes an eye liner, a volumizing mascara and an eyeshadow primer.


Dream Away!



I've been making these ever since I needed some extra cash during my first year of college. I've had one over my bed ever since my mom gave me my first one when I was seven. A dreamcatcher like this one I'd sell at around $60. This is a one of a kind piece because I really don't like to repeat my dreamcatchers. After all, it's your dreams it will catch so that's why I prefer to make only one of each. Hang it over your bed and dream away!



Some Sweet Neon Arm Candy!



Friendship bracelets and neon: two of summer hottest trends summed up in one. Get that arm candy going with a bright fella like this one made by yours truly!

I'll also be adding to the package a little personalized illustration but I will sketch it out once I know the winner.



OK! So now that you know what's up for grabs, here's what you've got to do:

I will post the winner and be in contact via e-mail. I wish you all good luck but most of all, I want to once again thank you for all of your support! I genuinely appreciate it!



And the winner is....
Marie-Ève!

  1. I'd like to suggest for you to do a project gallery in your pages, kinda like http://www.ispydiy.com/p/project-gallery_01.html So you don't have to scroll till you find which project you want. Also a section for your nails :D Skitch-y-Nails, or maybe something cooler.

  2. I have tried many brands of red lipstick and every single one of them fades away really quick! Which one do you recommend? I have not tried MAC yet. Do you think I should?

    1. I just answered back in the Rose Pout blog entry! But just in case, here's what I answered:

      MAC Ruby Woo is one of my all time favorite red lipsticks. It's Matte so it's a little hard to apply but I used to wear it for work because it was fade proof and absolutely no bleeding! Although, I would recommend you use MAC's Russian Red or MAC Red instead if that's too cool for your skin tone. You could also check out NYX's Matte lipsticks. They're not as matte as MAC's, a fraction of the price and also keep your lips moisturized. My favorite is Merlot.

  12. Me gusta mucho tu blog, seria bueno que consideraras el escribir tus post en español tambien. Es dificil a veces utilizar el traductor pq no siempre te da bien la traduccion. Por lo demas tu blog es muy completo y haces un excelente trabajo. Mi email es: vane.m.ps@live.com. Muy buen giveaway, exito y bendiciones siempre!

    1. Wow! Gracias! :D Lo escribo en inglés porque además de que se me hace más fácil escribir mis DIYs en inglés, es uno de los lenguajes más hablados a nivel mundial y pensé que al escribirlo en inglés puedo llegarle a un público más amplio. Pero muchas gracias por la sugerencia! La mantendré en mente!

  13. You're doing a great job here, Desi! Best of luck on everything you undertake and, well, make it work! ;D
