10:35 am	The Grynne's (Annual) Makeup Purge & Giveaway! http://the-grynne.livejournal.com/995170.html It's that time of the year again, for my Annual Makeup Purge & Giveaway! Aug 12 ETA: THE GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED THE RULES 1. Products are used, but will be disinfected with rubbing alcohol before mailing. The extent of use will be noted in the brackets as an approximate percentage (e.g. 10%) or a number of times used/swatched (e.g. x5). 2. I will charge you for however much shipping costs me, however the products themselves are FREE OF CHARGE. 3. Shipping will be through Australia Post. The default method for non-Australian addresses is Airmail without tracking -- but let me know if you want tracking for the parcel (which will add to the cost). If you opt for registered post with tracking, be aware that it will require a signature on delivery. A shipping quote will be sent by August 20, based on the weight of your parcel and your shipping method. I will calculate the approximate postage charge here, so you can double check it yourself. Once you've sent me the payment for shipping, I will ship the parcel -- by the first week of September at the latest. 4. I only accept payment in Australian Dollars via PayPal. Payment must be received before the parcel is shipped. From experience, there might be a slight discrepancy between the postage cost calculated by Auspost, and the amount I'm actually charged at the post office. Judging by the last two times I ran this giveaway, though, the difference usually comes to less than 50c. Unlike last year, if there is a difference, I will not be charging the difference, or refunding it. Them's the rules, take it or leave it. 5. Eligibility is open to all countries. (Well, all countries that Auspost will ship to.) 6. Giveaway will be open from 6-16 August, 2014, beginning from when this post is up. 7. To claim a product, leave a comment to this post, listing what items you would like to claim, and a contact email. I will NOT be accepting claims via email/at DW/on Tumblr, or via any other method. I will reply as soon as I can (usually within the day, but generally no more than 2) to confirm the products you have successfully claimed, and email you once the giveaway is ended to get your shipping preferences and details. 8. For fairness, you are each allowed to claim a maximum of 3 products, per comment, per day. (I am in Sydney, so I will be going by Australian EST for this.) This does mean that you can claim 3 new products, every day, until the giveaway is closed. I will close the giveaway when everything has been claimed, or when the end-date is reached. If your comment includes more than 3 product names, or if you comment more than once in the same day, I will ignore all but the top 3 items you list, regardless of whether they have already been claimed or not. SO READ THE COMMENTS ABOVE YOU to check what has already been claimed, or check the list of items. I will try to update the post to reflect the availability status at least once every 2 days. 9. Anonymous comments will not be accepted for purposes of claiming items in this giveaway. If you want your comment to be counted, sign in with an LJ/OpenID/Google/Twitter/Facebook/MailRu/VKonkakte account before you comment with your claim. 10. Don't ask me for photos/swatches. Use your Google-fu. I've also given a rough description of colours in italics. Have a question that I didn't think of? Leave it in the comments.

2:37 pm	Make-up purge/giveaway. http://the-grynne.livejournal.com/990388.html What it says in the title, guys. It's near that time of the year when I need to de-clutter my make-up collection. My loss ill-advised purchases are your gain. 26 Sept ETA: CLOSED THE RULES 1. Products are used, but will be disinfected with rubbing alcohol before mailing.

(If for whatever reason I cannot send the parcel, or if the actual shipping cost is less than the quoted cost, the difference will be refunded through PayPal.) 5.
