Makeupbox 400k Contest Winning Post: Achjawaaromniet!

achjawaaromniet:

With Shiseido’s accentuating color (for eyes) in Ruby Dazzle, a discontinued green shadow by H&M and MAC lipstick in Russian Red. These are my favorite shadows and this was the perfect opportunity to try and combine them.

I was very impressed by this entry and the whole look. Simple, but dramatic, and very well-done!

You’ve won yourself the Majolica Majorca Little Humming Book 1! 

[Closed] 400,000 Follower Makeup Giveaway! (4 Sets of Prizes - Open Internationally as usual)

When the hubby was away in Tokyo for a business trip, I got him to trawl through Japanese drugstores and bring me back some yummy beauty goodies so I could do a 400,000 follower giveaway.

I know these products aren’t always easy to get hold of in many countries, and the price isn’t cheap when you factor in shipping. (One Humming Book palette is SGD25.90 or 1,500JPY from the MJ site before adding shipping fees) so here’s a chance to get hold of some of these for free!

Read on for instructions!

A: Majolica Majorca Little Humming Book 1

B: Majolica Majorca Little Humming Book II (2)

Next are the new Canmake Stay-on Balm Rouges. They’re kinda like Revlon Balmstains except they have UV filters to protect the lips. (And as with most Japanese drugstore products, the packaging is darling…)

C: Canmake Stay-on Balm Rouge in 02 (Sheer Peach), 03 (Sheer Red)

D: Canmake Stay-on Balm Rouge in 01 (Sheer Pink), 04 (Sheer Nude)

Things to Note:

• I will pick a 1st-place to 4th-place winner based on personality, artistry, and/or humor. You don’t need a super-complicated makeup look to win this. It just needs to catch my attention! If theft or usage of someone else’s image is discovered, your entry will be disquaified.
• I appreciate effort. Wherever possible try to do a new post (even if the picture was taken awhile ago), rather than going back to an old post and adding a hash-tag. Come on people, that’s too little effort!
• The 1st place winner will receive the most-preferred item of her/his choice, and this means if both the 1st and 2nd place winners picked item C as their top choice, the champ will get it, and the runner-up will get her 2nd choice item. If y’all happen to pick different items as first-choice, then good for you!
• You CAN submit multiple entries but only one one prize will be given per winner.
• I will message winners to inform and obtain shipping addresses, so if you are using Disqus, make sure you are contactable. (You need to sign in with a valid email address when posting or I can’t reach you.) Failure to respond within 3 days (21 May) means forfeiture of the prize, and I will pick another winner to send it to!
