Exclusive Follower Giveaway Contest

As promised, here's our contest for Best Things in Beauty followers. If you follow by e-mail subscription, RSS feed, or on Twitter (BTiBeauty), and you were following a few minutes before this post was published, you are eligible to enter. I downloaded the lists.

I want to thank you, my followers, for sticking with me. Best Things in Beauty just passed the one-year mark, and I love my regular readers. Your e-mails and comments always brighten my day! Thank you.

I have four prizes to give away. Here's the list.

Number 1. Giorgio Armani Beauty's Blushing Fabric in Pink Chiffon - I saved one for you! It's the shade Loyd Cassler at Saks calls the most wearable of the three. You can see a swatch of this light peach beauty at this BTiB link.

Number 2. A Laura Geller duo: Her enormously popular Blush-N-Brighten in Apricot Berry and Baked Marble Shadow Duo in Water Lily/Wood Forest (raspberry and copper brown shades) - brushes not include with these. These colors are perfect for medium or dark skin.

Number 3. The new Leopard Love Complexion Perfection Kit from Two Faced. When I purchased mine, I bought an extra for one of you. I like it - hope one of you will too.

Number 4. YSL's Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils (Luxurious Mascara for a False Lash Effect) in #1, High-Density Black and a Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect in #877, my all-time favorite blue-rose Dior shade. Two beauty essentials - mascara and gloss!

How can you enter to win one of these prizes? Just leave a comment here once. In your comment, please tell me your first and second choices for a prize. I'll use random.org to select the winners. The first winner selected will definitely receive her first choice. The second winner will receive one of her selections. After that, I will attempt to honor requests from the third and fourth winners selected, but I can't guarantee what you'll win - just that you will win one of these prizes if your number is selected.




After you comment, feel free to e-mail bestthingsinbeautycontests@gmail.com and identify your comment. You can never be too careful about sharing your e-mail address on a blog, so I would follow this second step if I were you (an alternative is to code your e-mail, e.g., myname at gmail dot com, in your comment).

The contest is open to anyone who is a follower - from any place in the world. The deadline for entries will be Monday, July 19, at midnight. The next morning, I will use a random number generator (random.org) to select the winners. I will e-mail the winners at that time. The winners will have 48 hours to reply to my message and provide a shipping address. After 48 hours, the prize will be forfeited, and another winner will be selected.

Good luck! Thanks for following! We'll do another follower contest in a few months.

In the meantime, don't forget to enter the fabulous summer essentials giveaway featuring Vaseline and Benefit. The deadline for that contest is Saturday, July 17.

  5. Waow! Happy anniversary and many, many happy returns to baby BTiB! We all love your blog, Charlestongirl, and are happy to read your posts ( always so interesting and beautifully presented)
    Thank you for the terrific opportunities of this new contest.
    Being the happy owner of an Armani Blushing Fabric and being fair skinned, I think that my first choice will be number 4: YSL Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils (which I have never tested!) and the Dior Addict Gloss and my second the Leopard love complexion Perfection Kit (didn't put it 1rst as you said it was rather shimmery).
    Thanks again for this generous giveaway contest and long life to BTiB:-)))
