Tarte Crown Jewels Lip Gloss Giveaway Contest

Tarte designed the Crown Jewels "three pack" of lip glosses as three gifts in one! The ultimate in one-stop shopping, Crown Jewels can be given as one deluxe gift or broken apart for three of your favorite divas, trendsetters, and green goddesses. Better yet, Tarte suggested using two sets as gifts and keeping one!

That's exactly what I'm going to do. This week's giveaway contest will have two winners. One will win a five-gloss Glittering Green Goddesses set with glosses in sheer nude-peach, sheer beige, sheer sweet pink, sheer cotton candy pink, and sheer shimmering cinnamon (shown at top). The other will win Twinkling Trendsetters (shown at bottom) with twinkling strawberry, twinkling melon-pink, twinkling fuschia, twinkling brick-red, and sheer raspberry. I will be wearing the "Dazzling Divas" shades shown in the middle row of the photo.

Three of us will be good to our lips, wearing glosses with Tarte's legendary skinvigorating ingredients. Jojoba seed oil will leave your lips soft, supple, and smooth. Mineral pigments are also soothing and softening. Tarte's t5 super fruit complex is a proprietary blend of the most active super-fruits, loaded with antioxidant-rich nutrients and vitamins that are known to deliver refining, anti-aging, and skin restorative benefits with each application.

How can you enter to win? Just leave a comment here once. If you have a preference for shades, please leave it in your comment. I can't guarantee you will receive your first choice if you win, but I love it when it works out that way. 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).

You can "earn" a second entry by tweeting this contest. Just make sure to include "@BTiBeauty" (without the quotes) in your tweet. I will tweet the contest later today, and you can simply retweet it to earn that second entry.

The deadline for entries will be Saturday, September 25, 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.

This contest is open to anyone anywhere. Here are the terms. I will carefully pack and ship the prizes (as I always do). I cannot insure them for overseas shipment - it's amazingly expensive to do so. If a box is lost or stolen in transit, I won't be able to replace it with for an overseas winner. We'll see how this works. My shipping issues have occurred when I've shipped overseas - the packages to the U.S. and Canada always arrive without incident. I'll do my best on this end; let's see if your mail services do right by you on the other end if we have an overseas winner.

Good Luck!
