Laura Geller Tropic Hues Baked Blush-n-Brighten Giveaway Contest

Laura Geller blended rich, tropical tones of coral, pink, peach, and bronze to create Blush-n-Brighten in Tropic Hues. This Italian-made blush will impart a natural, radiant color to your cheeks.

During manufacture, Blush-n-Brighten begins as a multicolored liquid that becomes a rich, silky powder after baking in a terracotta pan for 24 hours. Loaded with age-fighting, antioxidant protection, and free of mineral oil and parabens, these beauties are little masterpieces - in the pan and on the face. I love the complexity of the colors.

The Tropic Hues I'm holding as I write is more peach than the Laura Geller photo here. The blend of golden peach, rosy coral, and even baby pink shades in the compact is a work of art. Every baked compact has variations of the shades; Tropic Hues (the one I'm holding for the contest and my own) is warmer than the one in the photo.

If you win, you'll be stroke Blush-n-Brighten from the tops of your ears to the apples of your cheeks for a healthy, rosy glow. The Tropic Hues shade is vibrant, but you can moderate it easily with a light touch. I purchased one for this contest. It came from Laura Geller in New York without a box, but who needs another box to recycle?

How can you enter to win this contest? Easy! Just leave a comment here once. After you comment, feel free to send me an e-mail at bestthingsinbeautycontests@gmail.com and identify your comment. You can never be too careful about sharing an e-mail address you care about on a blog, so feel free to follow this step (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. You can earn a third entry by following the blog - either here or on Twitter (any entrant who is already a follower will automatically earn the follower point, but you can save me time by telling me you're a follower in your comment). I can't track followers through a third-party service, so you need to be on Google's list for me to verify the entry.

The deadline for entries will be Saturday, May 28, at midnight. The next morning, I will use a random number generator (random.org) to select the winner. I will e-mail the winner at that time. The winner 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. Make sure to check your e-mail - and look in your spam folder - when the contest ends.

This contest will be open to anyone anywhere in the world. I will ship the prize uninsured (the insurance costs way too much). I will also provide proof of shipping, if necessary. I will to take a chance that both mail systems - the winner's and mine - will deliver the box without loss, theft, or destruction!

My contests are a way to give back to you for all the friendship you bring me. Thank you, and good luck!
