I wasn't really planning on making a post about that. Of course like many other bloggers I find sometimes things annoying, or things that make me sad but I choose to let them go and ignore them.
This time I felt like writing a small post, not sure if warning is a good word, but definitely something for other bloggers to keep in mind.
I had a while ago a small Perricone giveaway. I've seen a couple other bloggers I follow having the same with different products and I don't know how theirs ended, but I know mine ended badly.
Amanda who won the giveaway never got the sample from them, both her and me tried to contact the company and the person I had the deal with, but, since my giveaway ended SILENCE. They chose to ignore us and I just couldn't let it go. Both for other people that are approached by Perricone, and Amanda, that I put in so much trouble even having to contact them herself.
Of course the giveaway post, that acts at the same time as an advert for them, will be deleted. And of course I won't accept deals like that before, only sticking to my own giveaways.
My apologies again to Amanda and see you later with happier posts. :)

Αυτό θα το χαρακτήρια επιεικώς απαράδεκτο και αντιεπαγγελματικό εκ μέρους της εταιρίας. Χαίρομαι που έκανες αυτό το ποστ για να μην αγοράσω ποτέ προϊόντα τους. Αυτό αξίζει σε όσους δεν σέβονται τους πελάτες τους.
really? i have a perricone giveaway too =( and i dunno if the winner of my giveaway have received her prize..
That totally sucks!Don't think I'll ever even try their products for taking advantage of bloggers this way...
In the future, if approached for a giveaway make sure you have the product in your hands before putting it up for a competition in your blog. If they refuse to send it to you, it's their loss!
I won Rhaindropz perricone giveaway and I still have not received anything from them =(
this is so frustrating!
it was a good choice to go public with that and write this post.
giveaways always make me feel nervous, because even if they are your own, you never know what might go wrong...

Hey I would love to know what the name of the Perricone person who cantacted you was. I'm actually hosting a Perricone giveaway myself right now and if it's the same person who's helping me I'm going to stop it right away! The lady who's helping me is Clarissa. Wow, ok. I'm really mad now!
