MAC Bad Fairy Winner!

Sunday, October 24, 2010

I wanted to thank all of the readers who entered my last giveaway- a new bottle of MAC Bad Fairy. Congratulations to #6 who was an international reader- Alicia! Don't worry- there will be another giveaway soon for all of you who didn't win.

MAC Bad Fairy Giveaway Contest! CLOSED

Thursday, September 30, 2010

Outdoors, no flash. Rainy overcast day. 1x Essie First Base,
3x MAC Bad Fairy

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I've been sick (still am, horrible fever). But I do have a treat for you! On my way to the doctor's office, I stopped at Nordstrom and picked up two bottles of MAC Bad Fairy, from the new Villainous Villains collection that hit stores today (was online on Tuesday). Now, this polish is already sold out online, and there's been some buzz online about it so it seems to be rather popular!
The other two nail lacquers in this collection, Formidable! and Mean and Green are exact dupes of Orly Galaxy Girl and Space Cadet, respectively. I was eager to get Bad Fairy because I loved Space Cadet and Galaxy girl so much, (the foil like duochrome is quite stunning) and that seemed to be the unique one in the bunch.
Bad Fairy is a magenta/orange duochrome, very sparkly. The closer you get to a light source, the more orange it appears, a rather lovely effect.
My brush is kinda wonky though, there's one hair going in a completely weird directly, and the other hairs aren't as tightly bound as I like. For a $13 polish (the first polish I've paid over $10 for), I'm rather annoyed.
I apologize that my pics aren't that great today, I let my cuticles go to crap since I've been sick.

Indoors, close to light source. Told you my cuticles went to hell!

Here's the best part, I bought one for me and one for you, one lucky reader!

Contest Rules:
One lucky reader will receive a brand new MAC Bad Fairy lacquer.
This contest is open to all readers, even international ones, ages 18 and over.
To enter, all you have to do is be a follower on Google Friend Connect and leave a comment on this post with your email address in the space provided (won't be shared, I'll only contact you if you win) and answer one question:

Of the four Disney villains featured in MAC's Villainous Villain collection, which one is your favorite? Or do you prefer a villain that isn't featured?

I myself wish that Jafar from Aladdin was featured, he always looked like he rimmed his eyes with kohl!
For an additional entry you can:
- Follow me on Twitter and retweet the following: "RT @MUWithdrawal- Enter to win MAC Bad Fairy Polish! http://bit.ly/d8XZ8K " Leave me a link to your tweet!

This contest ends October 22nd, 10 PM EST. If after 3 days, the winner doesn't email me back, I'll redo the drawing (via Random.org).

Good luck!

Urban Decay Set Contest Winner! And a FOTD

Friday, May 14, 2010

Congratulations to Jenny from the skinnies who won the contest!

Thanks to all that participated, I really appreciate all the readers of my blog and can't wait to hold another contest soon.
Now, a quick FOTD!

This is a look that I just slapped on right before I went outside to tidy up the pool before a storm hit the area. Very low key, slight hints of plum with barely there lips. You know, I think this foundation is a bit pinker than my neck, though it matches my face well.
In fact, this is probably as natural looking as my makeup gets.
Face: L'oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base, Revlon PhotoReady Foundation, NARS Concealer in Custard, La Femme blush in Soft Beige.
Eyes: UDPP, Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara, Milani Icy Plum
Lips: Urban Decay Midnight Cowboy lipstick
Brows: Wet'n'Wild Arch Envy in Ash

Spring Giveaway Contest! Urban Decay Set CLOSED

Friday, April 30, 2010

Actual prize; new in box and unopened

THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED
I figured it's about time I do my first ever giveaway contest.
Nothing super fancy, just a Urban Decay Hall of Fame Set. This set includes:
-XL Urban Decay Primer Potion (my favorite!)
-Mini 24/7 Eye Pencil in Zero
-Mini Midnight Cowboy Lipstick
-Mini Timothy Pocket Rocket
-Mini Skyscraper Mascara

Here's the rules:

- There are three ways to enter-

1. Become a Follower to this site, and leave me a comment on this post saying "Enter Me!", with some reasonable means of contacting you (Makeup Alley screen name or email, I won't track you down via smoke signals.) Tell me about what you'd like to see in my blog, and how you stumbled upon it. (1 entry)
2. Become a Follower to this site and blog about this contest, with a link back to this post (or post it in your sidebar). Be sure to link me proof! (1 entry)
3. Become a Follower to this site and follower on Twitter (MUWithdrawal) and tweet about it, with a link to this post (tag me with a @MUWithdrawal) (1 entry)

Here's a clear and concise example:
"Enter Me!
Hey Mimi, I'd love to see more reviews about skin care items. Found your site while googling pictures of giant Cheez-Its.
I blogged about your contest: www.example.blogspot.com and also tweeted about it- my Twitter name is ExampleTwitterName."

This gives everyone an opportunity of up to 3 entries. You can only do each option once, repeats will be ignored. Unintelligible entries with no contact info will also be ignored. The contest ends at noon (Eastern Time) on May 14th. After it ends, I will number the entries and use random.org's RNG to determine the winner, then I'll post the winner within the next day and let them know. The winner has 72 hours to contact me back- after that time period, I'll determine a new winner.

Unfortunately, since this is my first contest- it's open to US and Candian residents only and adults ages 18 and over (unless the minor provides written permission from guardians . It's just a bad idea for strangers to be sending minors anything, even if it's just makeup).

Any questions? Feel free to email me, makeupwithdrawal@gmail.com

Good luck!

All items featured were purchased by me.

Giveaway contest + FOTD Calendar

Thursday, April 22, 2010

First I wanted to post about an awesome giveaway contest:
Pieces of Katie-Jane has an awesome giveaway, the prize includes:
-OPI Alice In Wonderland Nail Polish Collection
-Lush Yummu Yummu Yummy Shower Cream Wash
-Cute Handmade Flower Brooch
-Strawberry Cupcake BathBomb
-Two Barry M Lipglosses in No's. 1 & 4

So head on over to http://piecesofkatie-jane.blogspot.com/2010/04/im-back-with-giveaway.html for the rules and such.

Also, I wanted to share my FOTD Calendar for the remainder of the month. I made it for one person in particular but realize, heck why not share my goofy calendar with everyone? Each day even has a visual aid! I'll make sure there's a permanent link on the left hand side of the page too. Alas, my eye is still healing, so I won't be able to partake in doing FOTDs for another few days. I'd love to see pictures of the inspired looks.

Here's the link:

Hope it interests you!
