WOOT, homies! I can practically *taste* the weekend on my tongue. I’m out here counting down the minutes to Saturday! My plan is to spend part of the day straight-up playing with makeup — what I call good old fashioned “me” time. 🙂

I’m thinking about doing a colorful eye and just wearing it around the house while I play. Maybe something blue, green or pink (!)? Do you ever do that? — get dolled up even though you aren’t going out?

If you do, the prizes in today’s giveaway should make for great home-based (or otherwise) beauty fun.

The prize

Seven lucky ladies will each win a prize package ($65 value each) with the following drama-inducing goodies from COVERGIRL’s Blast Collection of bold makeup for lids, lashes and lips:

• Smoky ShadowBlast DIY Kit ($48): COVERGIRL’s double-sided Smoky ShadowBlast sticks are great for bold, colorful smokey eyes, and this kit comes with all six of them, along with a drugstore coupon and a bunch of wicked smokey eye tips ( here’s a cool video that shows ShadowBlast in action)
• LashBlast Fusion Mascara ($9): When it comes to thickness and length, Fusion, the newest member of Team LashBlast, delivers (even with a single layer)
• ShineBlast Gloss ($8): This light-reflecting gloss packs plenty of shimmer and mirror-like shine

How to enter…

Entering is easy. There are two different ways, and you can do both of them for two chances to win.

First, you can enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, a comment about anything at all! Dish about the freaky dream you had the other night, what your plans are for the weekend, the annoying thing your SO does with his/her toes, what your pet looks like, or wax philosophic about your favorite pair of shoes.

I share a condominium with my husband and a tabby cat named Tabs. Both of them have low-hanging bellies, but only Tabs treats me like a low-level assistant. 🙂

• Sorry, international babes. COVERGIRL wants to limit this giveaway to US readers only, but I’ve got something else lined up that includes you gals next week.

Second, enter by following me on Twitter and retweeting (RT) the following message:
