I love entering giveaways.  I enter them all the time.  I was recently excited to win a beauty gift basket.  They quoted the retail value at over $200.  I was chosen as the winner and announced on twitter.  Before even receiving my basket the company DM'd me through twitter asking if I would do a review on my blog for the basket. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

 

I'm very grateful to have won the basket.  I was excitedly telling my friends and family about the great prize I had won.  My issue is I won this basket by tweeting faithfully trying to win.  If someone else would have won that didn't have a blog, the would not have been able to blog about it.  I have a clear set of options available to companies requesting for me to complete reviews and giveaways.  I never thought about companies requesting me to do a review on something I entered to win. 

 

My stance, as someone who hosts giveaways, when someone wins something on my blog I would never ask them to review my blog since they won.  They've already done what they needed to do to win the prize.

 

It is a generous basket though and I don't want to be greedy.  So I'm asking honestly, would you do the review?  If you have an established blog?
