[CLOSED] The Soubrette Brunette's 8th Blogiversary Giveaway!

confetti photo

It's hard to believe that I've been blogging for 8 years(!). A whole lot has happened during that time. I've found and left jobs, been promoted, fallen in love, experienced immense heartbreak and grief, performed in shows, moved into an apartment I love, made and lost friends, learned a lot, changed my personal style... and, of course, figured out what it's like to live during a pandemic.

Acknowledging your progress is a funny thing. I know it's important to do. And yet, it's not something that necessarily comes naturally to me. Sometimes, celebrating yourself feels selfish and somehow wrong. But it's a little easier when someone else recognizes your worth and encourages you to do the same.

blog giveaway

That's actually what inspired me to come up with this year's blogiversary giveaway. I put up an Instagram poll and found out that most people really like curated collections of prizes (which I love putting together). Since we've spent nearly one year in relative isolation – and I think it's more important than ever to show ourselves some kindness and TLC – I decided to create a "self-care package" to send to one of you! Keep reading to find out what you can win and how to enter.
self-care giveaway

One (1) follower will win:

  • $50 paid via PayPal
  • Pusheen-icorn sleep mask
  • Velvet throw blanket
  • 100 Cookies book
  • jade face roller
  • bubble bath powder
  • World of Flowers coloring book
  • Harney & Sons tea sampler
  • assorted treats 

I thought these would be the perfect prizes for anyone who could use some pampering while they stay home! Now that you know what you could win, here's what you need to know to enter.
Enter the giveaway through the Rafflecopter widget below. Note that you must be a follower of my blog and Instagram to win. You also must include your email address in your blog comment in order for me to match that comment to your other entries! 

This giveaway is open worldwide and will run from now until Sunday, February 7 at 11:59 PM EST. The giveaway winner will be chosen at random and contacted via email. Once confirmed, the winner will be displayed through the widget. The winner must respond to their email within 48 hours or a new winner will be chosen. In the event of product unavailability, comparable substitutions will be made. This giveaway is sponsored only by The Soubrette Brunette and by no other brand or business. Best of luck and thank you for supporting my blog!

Birthdays don't look the same as they usually do, so I think we need to make them as special as possible. I'll be spending the better part of my day having high tea at home with my mom – and that gave me the idea for this year's birthday post:
 a tea-themed giveaway!

You know I love a good theme, so I went all out curating the prizes for this.

Dolly & Dotty was kind enough to send me two dresses – the Amanda and the Lily – from their collection. As a girl who can't say no to polka dots or pastels, these frocks fit me to a T! Both feature a nice amount of stretch and pockets – two features that I always look for.  Their website has a wide selection of vintage inspired dress styles and prints to choose from. I also love that they carry a size range from US 4-22! And that brings me to our giveaway... Start looking at what's available on their site, dear readers, because you might be able to choose a dress for yourself! Keep scrolling to get all the details.

[CLOSED] KINDNESS ISN'T CANCELED: $50 PayPal Giveaway

visa gift card giveaway

I know it's been a while since I updated my blog – and there have been a lot of changes in the world since I last posted. Most of us have had to make major adjustments in our lives due to the spread of COVID-19. In addition to the health threat posed by the virus itself (which is scary enough), many people have lost their jobs or their businesses may be hanging in the balance. We have to separate ourselves from our loved ones, put off vacations, and be careful about every move we make. Simply put, there's a lot that's uncertain right now. 

But there's one thing I do know: that kindness isn't canceled. Although I'm very anxious about the state of the world and feel overwhelmed with all of these new changes, I'm simultaneously inspired by those I love and by perfect strangers. While this pandemic has certainly brought out some of the worst in people, it's also highlighted some of the best of humanity.

I know it isn't much, but I wanted to find a way to do something nice for one of you in a way that's safe. So I'm hosting a little giveaway for a $50 to be paid via PayPal. I wish I could swing a higher amount, but I hope it will provide a little relief or bring a smile to someone's face! Here's what you need to know.

$50 PayPal Giveaway Rules

One (1) follower will receive a $50 friends and family payment via PayPal. Enter the giveaway through the Rafflecopter widget below and follow all instructions to be eligible. This giveaway is U.S.-only and will run from now until 11:59 PM EST on Tuesday, April 7, 2020. The giveaway winner will be contacted via email and will be announced via the widget once confirmed. The winner must respond within 48 hours or a new winner will be chosen. This giveaway is not sponsored or endorsed by PayPal. Thanks for entering and best of luck!

[CLOSED] The Soubrette Brunette's 7th Blogiversary Giveaway!

blog giveaway

I can't believe that my blog is seven years old! When I started The Soubrette Brunette, I really just wanted a place to document the fun clothes in my closet. I didn't imagine that it would turn into such an important part of my life. Thanks to my blog, I've made so many friends and was lucky enough to have a consistent creative outlet. I've never made much money from blogging, but it's meant a lot more to me than a source of income (and it was at least part of the reason I was able to do the full-time work I'm doing now). Blogging isn't as popular as it once was, but I'm really glad I have this little corner of the internet for my fashion and for my musings – and I'm really glad you're here, too!


If you've been following my blog for a while, you probably know what's coming: a giveaway! I always like to give something back during this time of year. One follower will win a really fun prize package that I've put together just for the occasion:

  • $25 gift card to BoxLunch
  • Colourpop "Truly Madly Deeply" eyeshadow palette
  • copy of The Great British Baking Show: The Big Book of Amazing Cakes
  • Pusheen travel mug
  • 14-ounce bag of pink Starbursts
  • pink heart sunglasses
  • and other assorted goodies!

Now that I've piqued your interest, you'll need to know how to enter and win! 
Read the rules below carefully (and be sure to follow them exactly!) to ensure you're eligible to win.

[CLOSED] The Soubrette Brunette's 6th Blogiversary Giveaway!

the soubrette brunette birthday blog giveaway

Six years ago, I decided to start a blog where I could share my outfits and connect with others in the blogging community. A lot has changed since then, both online and in my personal life. But I am always so glad I made that decision to start. Not only has it provided me with a valuable creative outlet and some really fun opportunities, but it's also allowed me to forge long-lasting friendships with some incredible people. Every February, I like to reflect on where I began and how far I've come since starting this little blog. And every February, I like to give back to my followers with a giveaway of goodies!

This year's prize package is a bit smaller than in previous years, but I tried to pick a few items that you'd all be excited about winning. :) Because I decided not to work with any giveaway sponsors this year (to make things a bit easier on myself, if I'm being honest!), that means you'll have fewer giveaway entries to worry about (which will make things a bit easier on you, too!). Here's what you need to know:

ONE (1) winner will receive:

Too Faced Tickled Peach Mini Eyeshadow Palette
Kate Spade New York: All in Good Taste book
