TMS “SECRET” CONTEST… Shhhh… Details inside. Begins Sept. 1st!
THE CONTEST- I thought it would be fun to have a Secret Contest to express my appreciation to my readers as mentioned (here). I am blown away that more than 500 of you are scoping out the site! Again I truly do appreciate you all and thank you so much for reading my ramblings and most of all your support!
That being said. This contest is open to my readers/followers only. The Secret of the “Secret contest” being- the prizes are a mystery but guaranteed to be Super Fabulous and how you are earning them is a secret too! In a way this is more exciting! Because it allows me to pick out something super special for the winner based on what I know about them!
The Raffle prize will be at minimum a $40.00 value. I will send the winner a questionnaire which will contain questions, such as what colors brands, etc. The winner will complete this and return it to me and I will shop using it as my guide.
The Goodie Bag- This bag will contain small items from $3 to 11$. Filled with random makeup/beauty items that I love!
PART ONE-I have created a “Secret Contest” calendar which random dates have been marked down with activities where participation on the site could earn you prizes or more entries toward the raffle!
For example. (example only!) The calendar could show on Sept 5th all comments will easrn an entry OR another example- Sept 12th it may say the 3rd person to comment on that days blog entry will earn a prize from the Goodie Bag, or the longest comment posted on that days post will earn a prize…. etc, etc…. So pretty much to sum it up comments will earn you entries. However. The comments you must must be relevant to the entry and show that you have read the post! At the end of the contest, the calendar and the winners will be posted up for all to see!
PART TWO- The second part of the contest would be “The Extreme Twin” Makeup Challenge”. If you watched Blush last year you know this isn’t a completely original idea, but I still thought would still be really fun challenge to complete! I am asking for you to submit 2 photos-
First photo would be Basic Full Face Makeup and Second photo would be Extreme Makeup.
The Challenge is to create a complete transformation between the two looks! So basically each photo would represent one end of each spectrum. Both pictures should still be a completely finished look with Artistry in mind (however you interpret this)
The winner will be chosen based on overall makeup application and the most extreme change/difference between your 2 looks. The winner will be chosen by Beauty Panel of Non Experts:) to be announced in upcoming post! No polls, No popularity contests. Just makeup lovers stressing over the amazing entries! What a challenging task!
All who submit entries for the “Extreme Twin” will automatically earn FIVE additional entries into the “Secret Raffle Prize” OR a guaranteed prize from the Goodie Bag. The winner of the “Extreme Twin” Makeup challenge will also get a “Secret Prize” valued at minimum $25.00 and be asked to complete the same questionnaire as mentioned above. There must be a minimum of 5 entries for a prize to be awarded.
TO ENTER: Email your entries to contests@themakeupsnob.com Please include your blogger name/or URL. Your real name and email address… and the 2 pictures of course
Please also tell me if you want the a goodie bag prize or 5 secret raffle entries in the body of the email. You have until September 24th to submit.
The Contest Starts September 1st and all secrets will revealed on October 1st (contest ends Sept 30th) Remember.. I will be out of town and a bit quiet the first week of Sept. But the Calendar is complete and in effect!!
Sound fun? I am soooo excited! Hope you all are too!! Good luck everyone! If you have questions, please let me know! Im posting a few days early so everyone has a chance to read and understand how the contest works before Sept. 1st.
