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)

7. N.Y.C. liquid eye liner in black and 8. a pair of ELF falsies

I follow your blog religiously, and this is an awesome giveaway! 🙂
One of my favorite products is the Clarisonic. My skin has made such an improvement from using it… I can't live without it!
My favorite thing is… under eye concealer… they take years away from my face 🙂
Thanks for the giveaway :). My current favorite beauty product is Sonia Kashuk Eye Palette in neutral, a very recent purchase. I am a big fan of your blog and a regular visitor.
I admit, I'm a geek! I recently got the Canon S95, and I <3 my camera!
Thanks for doing this giveaway! I absolutely love your blog – it's always so much fun to read and I look forward to every new entry =)
I connected via my twitter id – graciepooh
My favorite thing is a good manicure that lasts a long time!
Thanks for doing the give away!
My favorite thing is a great matte nail polish – The KO colors are all amazing but a matte topcoat over regular polish does the trick too!
Love your blog!
I love my La Mer cream for the wintertime. Keeps my skin moisturized and radiant!
My fave thing is Shiseido Mascara Base! It's my official HG, I can't live without it 😀
Awesome giveaway. My favorite product is Laura Mercier TM and now I'm so in love with my clarisonic brush. It leaves my skin smooth and sqeaky clean ^_^
I can absolutely NOT live with Kiehl's #1 lipbalm. I put this on every night before I go to bed and it keeps my lips nice and moist.
By the way, my family has a Chinese/Asian-influenced turkey recipe – put soya sauce on the turkey and stuff it with stickey rice! I wrote about it here
I cannot live without my Falsies mascara! It makes a HUGE difference in my sad, short, thin little Asian eyelashes!!!
One of my fave things is… giant scarves that can act as blankets, make shift hoodies, arm warmers, and everything else. The one accessory to rule them all!
My all time favorite beauty product is my burts bee lip balm. I love it!
One of my favourite things right now is the Garnier 2-in-1 Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller! It's great for concealing those under eye circles, and doubles as a concealer for other imperfections too! I love how it's not too heavy, but yet still provides enough coverage for me 🙂 Plus the rollerball dispensing system is really convenient!
my iPhone. Is there anyone that can live without their phone now?
Congrats on hitting 1000+ followers! I knew it would happen sooner rather than later… you're now officially "big" 😛
I actually already own 4 of the things you're giving away (one of them thanks to you!), figures since we have so much in common lol. But I'll enter anyhow hahaha. My fav thing that I absolutely can't live without is probably my iPhone. I usually never go for more than a few hours without reaching for it… yes, I'm such a dork, but you knew that 🙂
Thanks for hosting this giveaway. I remember the days when the petite blog scene was oh so small…but it's great that there are so many more of us out there! =)
My favorite thing would probably my skinny jeans because they're always comfy and they go with everything.
Oooh…so hard to pick just one favorite thing. I really love Devita Solar Protective Moisturizer SPF 30+. It's a natural full-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen that also happens to be a great, non-oily, lightweight moisturizer and essentially odorless. Its active ingredient is zinc oxide so it's good for sensitive skin or for people who don't like chemical sunblocks.
Cool giveaway! I always enjoy reading your work-appropriate fashion style, so keep up the good work!
One of my favourite things is my red Sephora lipstick – perfect for all occasions and always a quick way to freshen up one's look.
Yey! Awesome giveaway 🙂
My favorite is Loreal weaterproof mascara! 🙂
yayyyyy! i'm your 1,000 subbie <3
What a cute idea for a giveaway! I love my Eucerin Daily Face Moisturizer with SPF30 and the few items I own from Le Chateau, a Canadian store (including 2 stretchy tanks, 3 belts and my favorite long sweater). 🙂
Edward Bess lipsticks – I love tender love or forever young
One of my favorite things (at the moment) are my leggings. They are actually really cheap (not in quality but in price) and I got them at Forever 21 for only $3.50!! I think you know which tights I am talking about !! Lol.. It's the one xppinkx raved about, and I think you mentioned about it on your twitter too regarding the different colors.. I definitely stocked up and have been wearing them almost everyday.. I would say 6/7 days, I am wearing them. I practically live in them. They are so comfy, and so warm.. I might need to layer up soon as it is getting colder!
Hi Jean! Thanks for your blog updates and shares. I love the petite community (: I remember the days when I thought I was the only one. You know you're special when you try an adult sized clothing piece and rejoice when it actually fits and/or is too tight.
My favorite product is the Lancome Alcohol-free Freshner. I use it in the mornings instead of a face wash. It feels really fresh and has totally cleared up my skin. Toners are wonderful.
I loved MAT Lumiere Long Lasting Fluid Makeup Foundation SPF 15 Chanel Its my favourite
My favorite beauty product is Maybelline Define a brow eyebrow pencil 🙂
I recently started following your blog. I love your sense of fashion and you always look fabulous! This is seriously a generous giveaway!
My favorite beauty product is the MAC LiquidLast Liner. This is the only eyeliner that doesn't smudge or give me raccoon eyes! Apparently, I have really oily eyelids. 🙁
Oh, I don't know if it's just me but I didn't see a form. All I see is a required box for the Friend Connect ID. I filled that in, and a msg appeared saying "thanks for filling out the form." Please help! Thanks!
The gift looks awesome! 🙂 I absolutely love the mascara by majolica majorca! It lengthen, add volume and doesn't smudge!
What an amazing giveaway! One of my favourite things would have to be my covergirl lashblast mascara! I can't live without it, it's like my holy grail. 🙂

Wow, what a generous giveaway!
My current obsession is my J Crew Stadium Cloth Trench Coat that I saved a bunch of money on. I bought it in a neutral camel color that goes with almost everything and doesn't wash me out– no easy task.
I love reading through other people's favorite things in this post. There are a lot of things I want to try now…
thanks PAG. you're so considerate!!
one of my favorite can't-do-without products would have to be revlon's colorstay liquid eye pen in black. it's affordable, lasts long, and makes eyelining easy-schpeasy. if i'm in a rush, it can go on both my top and lower eye rim plus is easy to use for touching up through the day.
one of my favorite things is my chloe perfume!! i looooove it! :]
thank you for having this giveaway!
@thexxsmall I have been checking! I can't wait to check one out if I ever visit the Northwest US…I've heard great things about their coats and I like the stuff that Ping from allaboutfashionstuff hauls. A little pricey, though!
@Anonymous Ah, my skintone is pretty different (about NC40 in MAC). Tease seems pretty versatile but yes it is a cooler color. To answer your question I'm actually wearing it in the J.Crew minnie pants post right below.
i'm only 15 and i've followed your blog for a while(: you are absolutely beautiful and i love your posts. You're very successful and inspiring, idk if you know that but you are! keep up the great work(: love it!
and oh welll…i guess ONE of the things i couldn't live without…would be… my smashbox lip enhancing sheer color gloss and as for clothing… hmmm i love love love cardigans and skinny jeans(:
i love my xhilaration brown oxford flats. wear them with absolutely everything and size 6 runs small 🙂
I love my Smashbox Photo Finish Primer! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite beauty products are laura mercier secret concealer for under-eye area. It goes on smooth and blends perfectly into my skin. Also my new LORAC blush in peach, amazing! Also Bare Minerals Flawless Face brush, I use it to apply any blush and I can't go back to other blush brushes now! Wish I had a favorite blazer, but I'm still working on that one…
I have a collection of scarves that I CANNOT live without, I always have a scarf with me. For a little provided warmth, coverage, headband, turban, punching up a hand bag, w/e., I have to have one with me.
I havea many many favourite's that I'd like to share, but one is my "Gorgeous" moisturizer from LUSH and the other would have to be any of my many scarves.
I also typed in my google email address under google ID becaue I wasn't sure what that meant, I hope thats okay!
I actually just bought Tease, but I am not sure if it works on my skintone (NW25). What is your skintone according to the MAC scale and do you have a picture of you wearing it?
Thanks for sharing with us your favorite things 🙂
I write a food blog so my favorite thing in the kitchen would have to be my trusty cupcake pan. It has a lot of dents and permanent stains on it but it has helped me make over 200 cupcakes by now! 🙂

I would have to say one of my favorite things that I am loving right now is my Essie Chinchilly polish. Its a purple gray cream polish that is gorgeous.
Thank you for the giveaway!
My favorite item right now is the Buxom Buxom Big & Healthy Lipstick. they have the best red color (barcelona)!
So much love to give away! I hope I win, haha 🙂
My current favorite thing is a bag organizer that I got for 40 pesos–that's a little less than a dollar. It fits nearly everything I need and I can just transfer it from handbag to handbag if I needed a change! The only thing that won't fit in it is my umbrella, but it's okay!
P.S. I put my gmail email as my Google Friend Connect ID, it might be wrong! Sorry! 🙁
This is a lovely giveaway! Currently, my favorite thing is my theory blazer. I've been wearing them all the time, everywhere.
My favorite beauty product right is actually a makeup-remover…it's called the Revlon Makeup Eraser Pen. It's so handy in getting all the eye-liner makeup out with no mess and also fixing uneven lines.
My favorite product is Allure by Chanel… such a versatile and lovely scent :)))
My favourite thing at the moment is def my Talula wool trench coat from Aritzia. It's SO darn cold in Toronto right now that it's almost impossible to look remotely cute! 😛 LOLOL JKJK.
Btw Jean, you should def see if there are any Aritzia stores opening up near you. It's a Canadian-based brand but they've recently started opening stores in the States. Their clothes, although more on the expensive side, are super trendy and petite-friendly. 🙂
I've been collecting "fave items" for a future giveaway as well! : ) It'll be a while before I actually do one though. tehe Hmm, I can't pick one favourite item..maybe I can list a few.
I certainly love those ELF lashes you're giving away even though I barely ever wear falsies. Probably only … 2-3 times in my life. My lashes are already long and putting a set on will just create volume, not length. My favourite accessory would be my Longchamp tote. It fits everything and I use it everyday!!! My favourite gadgets are my Blackberry and my iPod – can't live without music and can't make it through the day without a phone, unfortunately.
Btw, I'm unsure of what you meant by pages made for giveaways. Does mine count as that? Or did you mean a site dedicated to giveaways? Let me know via tweet! If it doesn't count, just delete that entry.
Thank youuu for the giveaway <3
