Laura Mercier Mini Lip Glacé Set Giveaway Contest

This limited-edition, now sold-out collection of four mini lip glacés offers a quartet of super-flattering shiny shades. The high-shine lip glosses provide rich, long-lasting color and a brilliant glaze finish that creates the appearance of fuller lips. It was a $55 value that sold for $38.

Anyone who wants a variety of wearable and flattering shades in one collection will love the set. The shades are beautiful; they don't feel sticky or heavy; and they won't feather or bleed. These are Laura Mercier's lip glosses at their best.

The formula captures the glassy, light-reflecting sheen that we all love in a lip gloss. It also features the Laura Mercier Lip Complex, a unique blend of moisturizing, anti-aging, and antioxidant ingredients to hydrate and protect the lips and leave a wonderfully smooth surface. The shades in this collection are Rose, Sparkling, Baby Doll, and Ambre Rose - all desirable.

There are a few simple steps to enter this contest. First, all you really have to do is leave a comment on this feature. After you comment here, 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 extra entries. Follow this blog (through an e-mail subscription or though one of the many Google readers - see sidebar at right) to earn a second entry. You don't have to follow to enter. I want everyone to have a chance, but I also want to reward my followers.

You can earn a third entry by tweeting this contest. Just make sure to include "@BTiBeauty" (without the quotes) and the contest title in your tweet and mention the giveaway title. I will tweet the contest this evening, and you can simply retweet it to earn that second entry. Only one tweet will be counted as an entry. I appreciate multiple tweets, but it's not necessary.

The deadline for entries will be Saturday, September 10, at midnight. The next day, I will use a random number generator (random.org) to select the winner. I will e-mail the winner on Sunday. 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 is open to anyone anywhere. Here are the terms. I will carefully pack and ship the prize (as I always do). I cannot insure the prize for overseas shipment - it's amazingly expensive to do so because of the way I have to send insured mail. If it's lost or stolen in transit, I won't be able to replace it with another. I'll do my best on this end; let's see if your mail service does right by you on the other end if we have an overseas winner.

Good luck!

Update: I really do use random.org to select winners. I know some of you enter over and over again and haven't won a contest here yet. I wish I could afford to change that. Please keep entering. Odds are that someday random.org will call your number. Also, we have another contest starting tomorrow for Neiman Marcus Beauty Week, so come on back!
