Shades Of U's Summer Giveaway Contest

Happy Independence Day everyone! It has been a while since I launched my last contest. By my humble standards, it was a success. I want to give away a few brand-new-in-box items this summer as my thank you token to all of you who read my blog. The mechanics are pretty simple, really, you don't need to create a made-up face for this contest. All you need to do is enter your e-mail address in the Subscribe Via E-Mail box on the right-hand side of this page. I will randomly pick a winner on July 19, 2008, and announce it the next day, July 20, 2008. Previous e-mail subscribers are eligible to participate in the contest. Also, I will ship my giveaway package worldwide, so everybody is invited to join, but please, only one entry per person.

Here is what the winner will get (all brand-new, never tested):



1. MAC Skinsheen Leg Spray in Dark;
2. MAC eyeshadow in Illegal Cargo from the Naughty Nauticals collection;
3. MAC eyeshadow in Newly-Minted from the Matte2 ("matte-squared") collection;
4. MAC Soft & Slow lipglass from the Neo Sci-Fi collection;
5. Three sets of Red Cherry false eyelashes in #s 747S, 66, and 73
6. PLUS (not in photo), three 1/4 tsp samples of MAC pigments of the winner's choice from my MAC pigment collection (I will contact the winner via e-mail asking for his/her pigment picks from a list of my pigments).

I will give a consolation prize of three Sonia Kashuk brushes (I still don't know what these are as I have not bought them yet, it depends on what kind of brushes are still available when I pick them up from the store).

Again, thank you to all of you who read my random ramblings and inane topics. Have a safe and happy Independence Day weekend!
