Two Ways to Win Benefit’s Ultra Shines Lip Shine Gloss in Spiked Punch

April 24th, 2010 by Karen 385 Comments

  • The giveaway is now closed. Congrats to winner Snoopysteph! Before you go, check the home page for ongoing giveaways.

Uh, oh… Someone spiked the punch!

I’ve never heard that in reference to actual punch before, but I’ve always wanted to say it.

How goes the weekend? Good, I hope. I had a pretty relaxing afternoon, I’m happy to report. No news is good news, right? Oh, I finally caught the last episode of Project Runway online. I don’t want to spoil the ending if you haven’t seen it yet, but what did you think? Did the right person win (I think so!)?

Because it was sunny today I couldn’t stop thinking about the beach, which led me to think about coral (and surfing) and the subject of today’s giveaway, Benefit’s Spiked Punch lipgloss, one of the new Ultra Shines Lip Shine glosses I’ve been lurving lately (see it in action here).

I hope you’re ready to shine. 🙂

The prize

One lucky lady will win a tube of Benefit’s shimmery coral Ultra Shines Lip Shine Gloss in Spiked Punch (an $18 value).

Spiked Punch, like the other Ultra Shines Lip Shine glosses, radiates a mirror-like finish and packs pigment to spare. It doesn’t hit counters until May, so this is an early peak.

How to enter…

2ways2enterEntering 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. In it, share a trick you use to keep your lips looking great, or tell me the name of your current favorite gloss.

For softer lips the following day, I’ll apply some lip balm right before bed.

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

Recap…

  1. Enter by leaving a comment at the bottom of this post, and don’t forget to use a valid email address so I can reach you if you win.
  2. Follow me on Twitter and retweet the following message:

    Follow @karenmbb and RT to win Benefit’s Ultra Shines Lip Shine gloss in Spiked Punch (an $18 value) http://bit.ly/byDB1P

I’ll pick the winner at random from among the people who enter by 11:59 p.m. PST on Monday, April 26.

Bonne chance!!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    I brush my lips when I brush my teeth morning and evening and I alway put on a liberal coat of Born Lippy lip balm from The Body Shop after. In the mornings I wipe off the lip balm before I put on my lip stick or gloss. As for my lips I have tons of glosses and lipsticks but my go to is Airy Fairy by Rimmel with some kind of pinky sheer and shimmery gloss. Airy Fairy is a great neutral to pink lip on me.

    I’ve been seriously loving on Neutrogena’s MoistureShine Lip Soother in Shine. It’s pretty much a straight-up gloss, not a lot of color. It also starts out a little sticky, but after about 5 minutes it kind of just sticks to your lips and provides lots of moisture and shine for quite a long time. I grabbed a tube when the sun broke through the clouds and I wanted some SPF for my lips, and I’m a huge fan now! I do wish it was a bit more pigmented, but the moisture it lends my lips totally makes up for it.

    When my lips are feeling flaky and dry I mix up a homemade scrub using olive oil and sugar. Rub all over your lips (and your hands while you’re at it!) and rinse. It’s a cheap and effective way of making your lips smooth & soft, especially if you do it at night.

    Old-school, but I love the standard Carmex in squeezy tubes – I slather a thick layer on right before bed every night. It soaks into my lips overnight to soften and keep the chaps away, even in winter time. And a tube is $1.50 or something ridiculously cheap – I haven’t found a high end balm I like better, and moisturizing lips overnight lets me use whatever gloss, stick, or balm I want to use during the day.

    To keep my lips in great shape I slather (and I do mean slather) on Smith’s Mocha Rose lip balm. It’s great and often times my lips are still a little glossy looking in the morning. My current favorite lip gloss is Perfectly Unordinary dazzleglass creme or whatever they were called. I just got it from a CCO and it rules.

    My tip is the usual way of caring lips. exfoliate with sugar and apply lipbalm before going to bed. 🙂

    and before i apple my lipstick or lipgloss i have to use urban decay lip primer potion. it is the second best thing 🙂

    also when i am at home and before going to bed, i always wear some kind of a lip treatment like nivea lip moisturizers, mac naked honey skin salve or mac tinted lip conditioner

One other thing I do to get my gloss to last: I try not to rub my lips together too much after apllication or lick my lips at all.

    Rather than using lip scrubs on my lips, I just take a clean, damp toothbrush and slough off any dead skin and put on some chapstick afterwards – keeps my lips nice and smooth.

    Oooh! I just fell in love with Lancombe Color Fever Gloss in Burning up! I didn’t think i’d be able to wear corally orange colours, but this is SO gorgeous! Especially with a light wash of Melon pigment over my eyelids – so pretty for summer!

    I also love that it smells like roses, not so fond of the rose-ish taste though, LOL.

    My current favorite gloss is from Gosh Cosmetics, although I am pretty sure the gloss I picked up was a LE from the holiday release. It’s black, which looks frightening in the tube, but when you slick it on it just ever so slightly deepens your lips, or if you’re wearing lip color, transforms it into this deep and velvety-plush looking version of the colour you’re wearing.

    This lipgloss: pretty magical.

Then, I apply my favorite lipbalm (I’m currently loving a pina colada flavored lipbalm – yum!) My lips are all plump and ready to go! My favorite lipgloss is the new Liberty of London Tinted Lipglass by MAC in English Accents.

    I buff my lips when I’m cleansing with my Clarisonic. Well, I don’t see why i shouldn’t! Then I smear on a thick layer of Kiehls, and I head off to bed.

    To keep my lips looking great I always wear lip balm under lip gloss/lipstick. That way not only does my gloss/color apply better, I don’t feel the stickiness, and my lips don’t get dried out. I like Vaseline’s Lip Therapy and Aquafina’s original lip balm, both of which are really cheap too!!!

    For some reason, lip balms don’t seem to work its effect on me. Something I do is apply a clear thick lip gloss at night and when I wake up in the morning, the dead layer of skin on my lips is totally loose so I just scrub that off with a face towel. Smooth surface with no unsightliness. Works every time I tell ya.

And when I’m not lazy I’ll take a teeny bit of toothpaste and brush it on my lips in small circular motions. I usually mix sugar and the minty rosebud salve because when I use the toothbrush method it makes my lips abit dry :(.

    I am a make up junkie to the extreme but my greatest weakness is lip gloss. When I enter a department store, I am literally pulled toward the cosmetic counters by some unearthly force that no person can fight. The prettier the gloss, the more weak in the knees I become. I can spend hours going from counter to counter in the cosmetics department, driving anyone I’m with absolutely nuts, which is why I now only shop alone.

    I love the MAC glosses but there’s something about these new Benefit glosses that keeps me coming back to this page for another look at your swatches. All the colors are beautiful and I think they’d all look good on all different skin tones which is pretty unusual.

    So for my beauty tip that will make even your prettiest glosses look even better is this:

    First, I line my lips with Mally’s nude lipliner for glosses. This liner is the best because it’s nude in color, so you never get that horrible Bozo the Clown look where you have a lipliner ring around your lips but the lipstick or gloss on your lips has disappeared. However, it creates a nude barrier, preventing your lipstick and glosses from bleeding. This particular lip pencil by Mally is designed specifically to prevent lipgloss from bleeding. Personally, I don’t know of any other pencil that does the same thing.

    Then I apply a thin coat of Urban Decay lip primer

    THEN, I coat my lips with Advanced therapy LipFusion XL (The $50 treatment) and let it set for about 45 seconds, giving your lips that plumped look most of us wish we had permanently.

    Finally, you put on your favorite lipstick followed by your favorite gloss OR you simply apply your favorite lip gloss(my personal preference is gloss ONLY)

    As for my favorite gloss for the moment, and my answer would change minute to minute depending on my mood, I would have to say it is presently Yve St Laurent (YSL) Exclusive Golden Gloss #29. These glosses are quite pricey but in my opinion, well worth it.

    Thanks for this great giveaway.

    Ahhh! I love glosses. Anyway, my tips:

    Exfoliate those babies with a soft toothbrush (or you can use some sugar mixed with a bit of water, or you can buy a lip exfoliator…but I go the toothbrush route!) then apply Vaseline on them before going to bed. This makes your lips super soft! I do it often, it works wonders especially when it’s nasty outside!

So every morning I slough off nasty dead skin and it’s super easy when I’m showering. Next, Palmer’s cocoa butter lipbalm. Often overlooked, it’s simply the bomb.

    My favourite glosses are the Cargo ones, so smooth and beautiful. Plus I managed to get them for only £3.

    I use chapstick before I go to bed too and before i put on lipstick. I also exfoliate my lips for softer lips

    Nice beautiful plump lips are as easy as cleansing and exfoliating with a soft toothbrush & lip balm. I really haven’t experimented to much with lips glosses, I’m more of a primer, liner & matte lips stick gal for the more glamorous look. But I’ll be sure to try this lip gloss… it really looks pretty
