Two Ways to Win a $100 Beauty Bonanza from Make Up For Ever and TRESemme

July 27th, 2011 by Karen 501 Comments

  • WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is MimiG323. Congrats, Mimi! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂

Heya, babe! How about a super quick mid-week giveaway to help us get over the hump?

Today we have seven runway-tested beauty bits, some for face, eyes, lips and hair, from TRESemme and Make Up For Ever. They’re items that made big splashes recently at Miami Fashion Week Swim 2011 during the Mara Hoffman show, but I bet they’ll look even better on one of us as we cruise the frozen food aisle at Trader Joe’s.

(Don’t forget to try their mango bars.) 😀

A Makeup and Beauty Blog Giveaway!

One lucky lady (or gent) will win a $101.97 prize package featuring goodies from Make Up For Ever and TRESemme.

The prize package includes…

  • One (1) Make Up For Ever Mat Bronzer (a $30 value)
  • One (1) Make Up For Ever Smoky Lash Mascara ($22)
  • One (1) Make Up For Ever Glossy Full Couleur in #10 (an $18 value)
  • One (1) Make Up For Ever Kohl Eye Pencil in #1K (an $18 value)
  • One (1) TRESemme Thermal Creations Curl Activator Spray (a $4.49 value)
  • One (1) TRESemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo (a $4.99 value)
  • One (1) TRESemme Anti-Frizz Secret Smoothing Creme (a $4.49 value)

  • There are two ways to enter, 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, like, when was the last time you went swimming? How often do you wear a full face of makeup in summer? Have you ever walked down a runway for a fashion show? — you get the idea.
  • Second, you can enter by following me on twitter Twitter @karenmbb and retweeting (RT) the following message:
    • Follow @karenmbb and RT to Win a $100 Beauty Bonanza from Make Up For Ever and TRESemme http://bit.ly/qdzvie

  • A maximum of two (2) entries per person — one within the comments at the bottom of this post, and a second entry via Twitter addressed to me @karenmbb.
  • Contest is open to individuals of the United States (sorry, international gals; I promise to hold a giveaway that includes you soon) who have reached the age of majority according to their local laws (18 in the United States with these exceptions: Alabama and Nebraska, 19; Mississippi, 21).
  • Tabs and I (heretofore referred to as “T-Money and K-Dawg”) will select one (1) winner at random from the entries either left in the comments at the bottom of this blog post or addressed to @karenmbb on Twitter.
  • The winner will be announced here within 48 hours of the deadline.
  • Void where prohibited by law.

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    It’s such a gorgeous summer day in San Diego! Once I’m done with my final this Saturday, I’m going to put on my favorite summer look and enjoy the sunshine (after putting on lots of sunblock, of course!). I made the mistake of neglecting my shoulders while I was volunteering after an event and there is definite skin peel-age going on right now!

    I haven’t been swimming in years!

    I rarely wear a full face of make up in the summer.I always wear powder because I have rosacea and my face is blotchy. I also normally wear lip stain and curl my lashes. I only wear full make up if we are going out to a nice dinner or I have a special event that I want to look nice for. Otherwise, its just too hot!

    Even though it’s summer, I wear a full face of makeup whenever I go to work, and on weekend’s when I’m out and about. 🙂 I try to keep it minimal. Just BB creme, translucent powder, bronzer, eyeliner and mascara.

    I went swimming yesterday. I live on a bay and have a pool too so I go almost every day in the summer. I never wear a full face of makeup anymore. I ditched foundation. I wear the rest about twice a week in the summer. I have walked a runway many, many moons ago.

    Instead of a full face, I’ve just been going for tinted moisturizer and waterproof mascara. If it’s 100 instead of 105 (you know, cold) I’ll throw in a cheek stain.

    In the summer I almost never wear a traditional full face of makeup. I have super oily skin so when you add the summer heat to that, not even primer and blotting can save me! Foundation and powder go out the window and I stick to bronzer, blush, eye shadow, mascara, lippy stuff and maybe some highlighter. No one wants to see me melt!

    1. Volumizes without clumps
    2. Will withstand hours of massage and sweating (I’m a massage therapist and also an esthetics student…waxing makes me hot and nervous right now!) without giving me the dreaded raccoon eyes
    3. Removes completely

    Suggestions??

    I love summer… the hotter the better. It is so hot in Texas right now we are breaking a lot of heat records. Today a cool front must have blown in because it is only 101 instead of 105 haha. I wear makeup everyday (even in the Texas heat). As long as you use primers and have blotting papers with you AT ALL TIMES, your makeup should still look good in the humid heat. Instead of applying my liquid foundation straight on my skin, I mix it with a face sunscreen first and that gives it a more light summery feel (which is best in the heat!).

    I can’t believe it is almost August and summer is on the downhill. Seems like summer just got here! I love to swim and especially snorkle so any beachy beauty tips are always welcome. I have red hair so I sunburn very easily so sunscreen is a top priority for me!

    I only wear full makeup on VERY special occasions in summer. Other than that, it’s very pared down.

    OMG, 450 something comments? Well I guess this is a long shot. Would love to win.

    “like, when was the last time you went swimming?”

    Like 2004 I think?

    * How often do you wear a full face of makeup in summer? *

    During the week I wear make up for work. On weekends I just just use concealer, mascara & a very light power to absorb oil. Would love to go make-up free now that I don’t really break out anymore, but I have some sun damage that I prefer to cover.
