Soap & Glory Giveaway Winner Annoucement!!

1yr Blogiversary & 300 Follower International Giveaway! {Closed}

Hello beauts!! I hope 2013 is treating you well so far! It still feels so strange for me when I have to write 2013...I feel like I'm getting so old! Only two years more years and we will all be riding Hoverboards! (if you know that reference you are AWESOME!)

Today I'm bringing you a little giveaway and looots of love from me to you...yes I'm looking at you ;-)! It was my 1 year blogiversary last October and somehow I have managed to gain over 300 lovely followers. I actually can't believe it! Cherry Lane has changed alot since I started all those months back, I didn't have a clue about blogging in the beginning. The only blog I read was my friend Rachel's crafty blog called House of Pinheiro. I just started Cherry Lane on a whim when Rach pushed me into it and I can't tell you how glad I am she did. It's opened me up to this huge world of wonderful people and knowledge I never even knew existed!

Giveaway!! 'Say Yes To Colour' & Win L'Oreal's Casting Crème Gloss! {Closed}

Oh yes its giveaway time!! By pure coincidence I had been planning a review on L'Oreal's Casting Crème Gloss which I had used about two months ago and just as I started writing my review a few days ago L'Oreal India contacted me to let me know about their 'Say Yes to Colour' campaign and asked me if I would like to host a giveaway for one lucky winner...well as I had already used the product and love it, how could I say no!

L'Oreal Paris recently launched the Say Yes to Colour Campaign in India which aims to empower women to take control,let go of your inhibitions about colouring your hair, embrace creativity and bring out your individuality!

L'Oreal's campaign aims to educate women about the benefits of colouring your hair and Say Yes To Colour! Since, some women are apprehensive about colouring their hair; L'Oreal want to introduce the safe No Ammonia Casting Crème Gloss. They are aware many woman may have concerns about colouring their their and so as part of their campaign they have busted a few myths on their Facebook Page. For full details of the product and my full and honest review of Casting Creme Gloss click here. In short though, I really like this product because...

• Its so simple to use! Just mix two bottles, apply to hair, 30mins, wash et voila! 
• It does not contain any ammonia so felt gentle on my hair 
• The colour lasted much longer than I imagined (still vibrant today after double the time they state on the box) 
• The Royal Jelly and special conditioner helped my hair to feel SO soft after I used it and gave me a lovely shine 

There are 11 different shades available and to help you pick the shade which suits you the best, you can take the 'My Hair My Colour' quiz here.

L'Oreal have started their Casting Crème Gloss 'Say Yes to Colour' pledge on Facebook where they are inviting you to join the movement and colour your hair!

But now I love looking at fashion and makeup blogs to see what products other people recommend, tutorials, finding new looks and inspirations. One of the beauty blogs have I have been following is Indian Vanity Case...when she announced a creative makeup contest I thought I might give it a shot even though there are loooads more people out there who are much better at makeup than me! I dont have a very big makeup collection but this is what I came up with. I named this look Poker Face...let me know what you think.
