Liptastic L'Oreal Christmas Giveaway!

WOO HOO gals - I'm so excited I can hardly type! I wanted to hold an extra special super duper giveaway to celebrate my first Christmas as a blogger, and those amazingly generous folks at L'Oreal have come to the kats colourings party with a truly awesome giveaway prize :-)

Some lucky follower will score not one, not two, but...

The ENTIRE SET of
L'OREAL INFALLIBLE 2-STEP LIPS!


This is the same collection of 14 gorgeous glossy sticks I received as part of my Blogstar prize, and it's up for grabs for a kats colourings follower. How can you be in with a chance to win this fabulous bag of luscious lip-loot? Read on...


  • First of all you MUST follow me - either by GFC, Bloglovin or email.
  • Secondly, you MUST comment on this page as to why you'd like to win this prize, and include your email address, username (where applicable) and how you are following me (sorry this is open to Australian residents only - promise I'll have an international giveaway early next year).
  • Thirdly, and this will decide the winner, you MUST include in your comment a guess at how many of my lip products are in the glass container in the pics below - I've taken two photos, roughly front and back to give you an idea (I can assure you the glass vase contains only lip products). Obviously not all are visible, but I can't make it TOO easy now can I? I've counted all the items I placed in the container (several times to be sure) and taken a photo, which I'll post at the end of the giveaway. 

The follower who meets ALL of the above conditions and guesses the correct or closest-to-correct answer will receive this stunning collection of lipsticks from L'Oreal, valued at over $400! In the event of a tie, I will put the finalists' names into a hat, and draw one out to determine the winner.

Competition closes at midnight on Saturday 14th December and the winner will be notified by email and announced on this page on Sunday 15th December. They will then have 24 hours to respond to my email to claim their prize, or I will award it to the next closest guess (or draw another name from the finalists in the hat if there is a tie).

The prize will be posted to the winner by Express Post satchel to give it every chance of being delivered before Christmas. Best of luck to all who enter, and a huge thank you to the gorgeous ladies at L'Oreal for their generosity in making this fabulous giveaway possible.

Take care of you,
kats xxx

  1. Aboustely love the idea of guessing the number Kat! It's a fun way to do a giveaway :)
    I would love to win these because I have one and LOVE the wear of it so having the whole set would be a dream!

    My guess is 32 - I tried counting but messed up each time and 32 is just in my head for some reason haha. Can't wait to hear how many there actually is :D

  2. Such an amazing giveaway, thanks Kats!! I'm following you on Bloglovin, my username is triedandtestedblog and my email is tried_tested@hotmail.com

    I'd love to win these because lip products arent something I own much of as I only really started 'getting into them' this year! This collection would be amazing as it has a huge range of shades for every occassion or day! And such quality too since they are Loreal!!

    41 lip products is my guess!

  6. Hi Kat! Awesome giveaway and so generous too. I've been rather out of the beautyheaven scene since I started on a short course which took up so much time and energy but luckily, exams are over and I'm back. It would be nice to win something and what better than a whole set of Loreal lip products! Lip products are absolutely irresistible! Haha... I think we have similar tastes in lip products because I spy some that I have and love. I'm guessing that there are 48 lip products in the glass container. My email is pinkishpolkadots@hotmail.com and I'm following you via bloglovin' (AnnsleyW).

  7. Oh wow kat!!! What an amazing giveaway....*drools*.
    I'd love to join in all the fun!!
    I follow you on GFC and Bloglovin as Lady Sapphire ;)
    I'd love to win these L'Oreal lippies so that I can have truly long lasting colour for my shifts at my new job. I'd hate to have to run off and reapply a lippy and I know I could rely on these L'oreal long lasting lippies to get me all the way through my shift. I'd also love some new colour to play with over Christmas!
    My email is nikki92900877@ovi.com
    I think there is 34 lippies in there *drools again*. I can see some really nice ones in that jar!!! hehehe
    Best of luck everyone!

  8. Kat, your friends at L'Oreal are wonderful people to provide you with 2 awesome prizes. I recall at how beautiful your gift was when you posted the photo of your win.
    I follow you via email and Bloglovin. My email is nstransky@pacific.net.au

    As you know, I am a 'lipstick queen' and would be in lipstick heaven if I won one of these prizes. A girl can never have enough lipstick - that has been my motto since I got my first coloured lipgloss as the age of 11. I can go without other makeup but must have colour on my lips.

    My guess is 55 - huge jar! Fun game to play. Thanks for the fun Kats!

    1. Oops Haven, I'm almost embarrassed to say that I didn't even include my lipsticks! I have a bit of a problem with eye shadows and lippies, I find it impossible to say no when I'm at the counter lol..

      Delete
  10. My guess is 42, the meaning of life! And for me the meaning of life is having ALL the lipsticks - having every colour of the range would be the ultimate!

  11. Brilliant giveaway, Kats. Choosing looks like being a challenge, but you manage challenges better than most - I'm NOT trying this time as it wouldn't be fair, having won the eye palette!!! Good luck girls - I'm still on a high from my EOTM win.
    Blogging was absolutely designed for YOU hon and you for blogging.

  12. 35 would be my guess! Thats a lot of lippies! But then you can never have enough!
    Following you by email furtado.andrea@gmail.com. Love looking at ur EOTD on BH!
    The reason I would love to win is to experiment with various shades of lipcolour in the coming year, be bold, adventurous and different and stop playing it safe with just nudes and pink tones!

    1. I agree Andrea, there's no such thing as too many lippies, although the only problem now is...storage space. Just as well they are reasonably small lol - thanks for entering hon :-)

Fawn my dear, you have me worried - I've just been through my entire blogger dashboard and can find no trace of a previous post from you here, awaiting moderation or otherwise (I actually turned that function off completely about a month ago because I missed a couple of posts on older pages). Sadly no technology is perfect, but I'm delighted you've reposted, and what a lovely reason you've given - best of luck sweetie :-)

  22. Hi Kats, this is a last minute entry from Petal on BH. I signed up under my email address of angelic.heart1@yahoo.com.au. I'd love to win this prize as I just love lipstick! If I won these, I'd give some to a friend of mine that's a struggling single mother. I counted and re-counted the jar endlessly, and each time the number was different, so I will take a guess as 32.
