My Favorite Things Holiday Giveaway

**This giveaway is now closed and the winner has been announced here. Thank you everyone who entered!**

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.

Over this year I’ve been collecting duplicates of some things that I’ve tried & liked, to share with a lucky reader. I’m not affiliated with any of the below brands; everything was purchased by me. The prize package includes:
favoritethings2
1. Rock & Republic pressed blush in Tease (a mauve-pink; my absolutely fave shade)
2. Shu Uemura eylash curler
3. J.Crew “olive moss” leather skinny belt in your choice of S or M (and I can punch extra holes for you)
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

Rules:
– Open internationally to public followers of ExtraPetite.com
– Ends midnight EST on December 12, 2010 and a winner will be drawn at random
– Winner will have 72 hours to claim her prize after announcement

    I just simply love jewelry xD
    and i was searching for a good cheap concealer recently, cuz first, i'm a beginner, so I want something easy to use, and second, I'm a newbie so I prefer to purchase something cheap but really good. and it's the maybelline Dream Mousee concealer in beige medium 😀 gosh i so love it! but the downfall of that is….only 3 grams 🙁 boooh…

    My favorite and one of my most trusted pieces of clothing is an AK Anne Klein coat. I've had it for 4 or 5 years, now, and it's still incredibly sturdy. It's on overstock, I have it in a black S: (http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/AK-Anne-Klein-Womens-Belted-Wool-Coat/4104889/product.html?rcmndsrc=2) but I'm actually more tempted by this coat (http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Anne-Klein-Womens-Classic-Wool-Coat/5096620/product.html?cid=123620&fp;=F&mr;:trackingCode=3471C83D-52C1-DF11-98FF-0019B9C043EB&mr;:referralID=NA) in Wine!

    Hello! I'm a blog follower via gfc as khrista porcadilla. I have submitted my entry. Thanks for this giveaway!

    My favorite things are the books that I have collected since I was in high school. I love the works of Victoria Holt and Sidney Sheldon. I've recently finished reading "How to Read an American Quilt". I know it's an old book, but I just recently found one in a booksale. Thanks!

    I hope you don't penalize us who cannot choose just ONE favorite. I love Urban Decay Primer Potion, Laura Mercier concealer, Mark liquid eyeliner (stays put all day plus it's inexpensive) and MUFE primer. I would have included Shu Uemura but that's a given for most people..Thanks for hosting such a generous and lovely giveaway.

    As for one of my favorite things, it's definitely my netbook. It's convenient because of it's size, but also powerful enough for me to do computations. Pretty niffty.

    I'd like to say I'm most grateful for the petite bloggers who dedicate their time and efforts to sharing their love of fashion for very little return.

    And as I'm about to get on another plane, I'm favoriting my terribly unglamorous but oh so trusty Swiss Army backpack that carries all my more delicate things through rain and sun on these business trips.

    My favorite thing is actually a pair of shoes from payless.
    They're the "Kimberly Mary Jane Pump" in Brown. They're so comfortable and I wear them with most of my outfits.
    My mother tried them on in the store in her size too and actually doesn't find them comfortable though. I suppose that's where we differ.

    My favorite thing right now is Bare Escentuals Mineral Makeup. I absolutely adore the mineral veil and the fact that all the foundation make up goes on so flawlessly and doesn't look caked on. Definitely a plus!

    I do not know what I am doing wrong but my entries don't appeared. I always make sure I am signed up but still. Anyway, I am currently obsessed with my new LOFT credit card!! LMAO!! Does it count as an Item??? I can't seem to put it down!. Joking aside, one of my favorite items is my jaffra liquid eyeliner. It stays all day and it comes right off with my neutrogena face wipes! Win/win.
