I’m sure many of us in the States are getting ready for a few days of thanks aka pigging out on turkey, stuffing, sweet potaters and more. My Chinese mom usually substitutes tasty duck for turkey, but I found out she has ambitiously purchased a big bird this y to attempt a traditional Thanksgiving. Darn! I like my Asian duck.
Anyways, I wanted to do a giveaway this week as a tiny way to show my gratitude to all of you for reading and supporting this blog. When I started blogging a little over a year ago, inspired by Alterations Needed, never did I imagine the petite online community would blossom to where it is now (there were ~3 of us back then!). And I sure did not think I would end up making so many friends who share honest opinions, sweet comments, and useful recommendations. So thank you all very much.

4. J.Crew flower hair elastic (I have this in black and made it into a pin)
5. Revlon polish in “Vixen” (love, love this color) and 6. Revlon “No Chip” topcoat
7. N.Y.C. liquid eye liner in black and 8. a pair of ELF falsies

How sweet and generous of you!!! I would love to win these goodies, you just have the best taste. I love my loreal telescopic mascara…it works wonders on my sparse lashes!! I'll definitely spread the word about this giveaway 🙂
I love my patent and suede bow pumps from Banana!
I am loving the Sephora by OPI nailpolish in Under My Trench Coat <3
Great/thoughtful giveaway Jean! 🙂
Since it is that time of night when I wind down and wash my face, my favorite thing at this time is my Clarisonic mini. I use it with an antioxidant facewash…feels so nice!
my favorite beauty product is the jill stuart blush blossom, it smells soooo good!
My favorite lip balm is Kiehl's Lip Balm #1, this is the best lip balm I've tried. It also has SPF 4, another bonus!
My favorite thing for the winter are scarves! Any soft or knit texture, various colors, and preferably long. I like to wrap them around into a circle style, and it adds a bit of flair to the few winter coats I have. 🙂
Thanks for hosting this giveaway. Best of luck to all, and hope everyone has a nice Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it) next week!
My favorite product atm is the EOS balm. I own summer fruit & lemon & OMG my lips always feel amazing during and after I apply it 🙂
My favorite beauty item is the Urban Decay eyeshadow primer. It stays on all day and night! Thanks for hosting this giveaway! Happy Thanksgiving!!
Hmmm okay, my most practical and most absolute favorite is VASELINE. it works wonders on my lips. and the aloe vera variety is particularly addicting!
My favorite products of the moment are scarves, thick socks, and beanies with the little braided tail things (I have no idea what to call them). Plus R&R; Call Me blush 😀
My favorite things (especially for winter) are scarves! Scarves can dress up a drab outfit anytime and keep me warm as well 😀
Thanks for the giveaway! My favourite product would have to be the ICE CREAM from Cold Stone Creamery. They have a divine "Santa's Reward" flavour right now – Candy cane ice cream, whipped cream and oreos.
This is an amazing and very generous giveaway, Jean! You're so good to your readers and I'm so blessed to have found your resourceful blog. Hmmm… one of my current favourite things right now is a "boyfriend ('s friend's) sweater": an oversized cashmere sweater I found in a bag of clothes that my boyfriend's friend was giving away. So random right?
Thanks again Jean!
Jen
Hi Jean! Thanks for the giveaway!
Hmm… my favourite product would be my Anastasia brow powder. I have really sparse brows, and this powder is so longlasting and that little tub lasts over a year! It is honestly amazing and I swear by it.
I found your blog a few months ago and I'm hooked! Please continue to post, I love reading them 🙂
All the best,
Ada
I've got to say that I love my false lashes. Without them, I feel naked since my eyes are so tiny! I would have to say that my favorite ones are the Ardell Wispies since they look so natural and flirty!

Jean,
My favorite item right now are Tom's wedges. you can find them here http://www.toms.com/womens/wedges/ash-canvas-women-s-wedges they are the most comfortable wedges I've ever own. Also when you buy a pair of these shoes they give a pair to a child who needs shoes.
Thank you for hosting this give away, so many cute things!
Great giveaway!
My current favorite beauty item is sea salt spray by Bumble and Bumble.
P.S You've mentioned that this is opened to International readers but I come all the way from Singapore so I'm not sure if I even qualify 😛 Have a good week ahead! Cheers!

One of my favorite things that I use almost every day is my Clarins UV Plus sunscreen! I never thought I'd be able to find a sheer sunscreen that didn't smell to high heaven of chemicals but this stuff applies matte and smells great!
Thank you so much for this giveaway! 🙂
Hi Jean, great giveaway!
My favorite item is the estee lauder cyber white sunscreen. It's the only one that feels the best on my skin out of all the sunscreens I tried. It's not sticky nor does it leave shine on your face like most sunscreens. It goes on matte and keeps my skin oil-free.
Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite thing is probably my pink LG Renoir cell phone. I use it to text, to brows blogs, to take tons of pictures, and to OCCASIONALLY make calls, hahah 🙂
My favorite item is my FCUK Brown boots that I have. It's comfortable to walk in and it goes with all my outfits!
I love smashbox's photofinish primer- it feels like absolute satin on your skin.
Wow. What a great giveaway! Hmm, so many great things to share… I really love my clairsonic Mia face brush, it leaves my skin so clean and really gets rid of those dead skin cells. Of course, I can't live without my urban decay primer potion, been using it for years and it really makes my eye shadow appear more pigmented. My friends and I actually prefer the shisedo eyelash curler over the Shu uemura. Lastly, loooove l'occitane hand cream, it's so rich and lasts the entire day thru multiple hand washings.
ohh! I love [asian] ducks too! Is there a difference between Asian Ducks and regular ducks? O_O
I love hanging out in the city with my friends after school – be it shopping in Soho or wandering the streets of not-so-nice-smelling Chinatown.
Thanks for this wonderful giveaway! I LOVE the color of that J.Crew belt!
That is very generous of you to give away your favorite beauty products. My favorite beauty product is the Urban Decay mineral makeup powder. I just discovered this product recently and I love it. It gives me just the right amount of coverage but yet very natural looking. Thanks for the giveaway. These goodies would be a great addition to have for the upcoming holidays
Hey Jean 🙂
My favorite beauty product is MAC fluidline in Blacktrack – I can't live without eyeliner (sadly) – though if I had one wish from the beauty fairy godmother it would be for naturally long, lush, curled, and full lashes (top & bottom)!
I have never tried the NYC eyeliner before – I just am too much of a klutz with liquid liner, though maybe one day I will give it another go.
Thanks for hosting the giveaway, everything looks so drool-worthy! 🙂
Thanks for the giveawayyy =]
My all time favorite beauty product has been the CoverGirl's Lash blast in waterproof. I love it then and I still love it to this day.
My favorite item is clean and clear persa gel. It keeps my skin clear and never lets me down.
My favorite article of clothing is my Jbrand black jeans. Can dress them up or down and they look and fit great.
My favorite items are the
red h&m; coat(the one you posted on your blog! thank you for that :D)
and my shiseido lash curler!
sorry i think i gave you the wrong user id. I put down lysolislisa, but apparently my userid is Itsher. Please don't disqualify me if you see a double entry. Please just delete the lysolislisa one.
Thanks!
My favorite item is my jacket/coat. I'm a petite myself and I have a hard time finding the right fit for a jacket – especially pea coat styled ones. I stumbled upon a site called zipia.net last year and found my coat and it actually fits! The bad thing about this coat is that the buttons fall off…=/ but other than that it's awesome! =)
I love the Ann Taylor Loft scuba pants – that I know about thanks to you! First pair of pants I've had fit well off the rack, it was like a dream come true.
Hi Jean, lovely products.
One of my favorite products is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Liquid Sunblock SPF 70. It's good for the face since it's very light.
Right now I'm loving a random 500yen coat I won on Japanese eBay. It's literally the ONLY coat I've ever owned that fits me in the shoulders.
Hi Jean!!! What a sweet giveaway. I'll be crossing my fingers for this one. 🙂
I have a lot of favorite things, but the one that I'd like to share would be my mascara. It's awesome and cheap and from the drugstore: Loreal Panoramic Curl Waterproof Mascara (in Noir). I love this stuff. I've tried so many different types of mascara (everything from Chanel, Dior, Estee Lauder, Mac, Benefit, Covergirl, Maybeline, Almay, Rimmel) and this is the best formula I found that works best on me. 🙂 I hope they never discontinue it!! The price point can't be beat!
Thanks for hosting an awesome giveaway. 🙂
xx Love & Aloha

***and of course I'm a follower!
My favorite product is the Rock and Republic Blush in Bedroom. I wear it almost everyday. =)
One of my favorite products: Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner in Black Mauve Shimmer Ink! I wear it everyday and since its not a pure black it looks softer and not as harsh.
Thanks for hosting this generous giveaway Jean 🙂
Thanks for the super generous giveaway!
My favorite thing at the moment is this pair of taupe ZiGiny pumps that I am wearing all the time. I feel like a million bucks in them. 🙂
Hello Jean!
That is very generous of you to give away those wonderful goodies away. I bought that same Rock & Republic pressed blush in Tease when I read one of your beauty review about it. 😀 Gosh…the blush was a big size too.
My fave skin product is Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion with SPF60.
i love my matte top coat from ELF. it saves me so much money because it doubles my nail polish collection 🙂
my favorite thing is the shu uemura lash curler! i had it before, but have lost in somewhere. i'd love another one! this is so generous of you 😉
What a sweet idea! My favorite "can't live without" cosmetic is Lancome's Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer in Beige III (Neutral).
I love my Philosophy "Amazing Grace" perfume- it's light, fresh and wonderful.
one of my favorite things is a black blazer that i purchased from LOFT 2 seasons ago, and i've gotten so much wear out of it. its such a classic piece and something you can pair with everything from dress pants to jeans.
Chawesome – Hi and welcome! I love frmheadtotoe (she introduced me to those awesome blushes). And how could I forget, seche vite (also a Jen-intro) is my new fave thing for nails too. I got the my Revlon one before discovering SV and now just use it as an extra coat over after SV does its magic : )
Judyscribbler – I've heard so much praise for LM TM! Thanks for sharing.
Hi! 🙂
One of my favorite products is the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer in the color "nude." It's lightweight and has an SPF of 15 so it's perfect for everyday use since I don't feel like it's clogging up my skin.
My favorite thing beauty product-wise would be my seche vite top coat. dries nails instantly. 🙂
also, would like to add that i've been a new follower for a couple weeks now. I found out about you through frmheadtotoe's website. I'm glad there are fashion bloggers out there made for the petite readers. 😀
I love my Rebel XTi! 🙂
