Birthday Contest, Week Four

Hi all! This week I am giving away four discontinued limited-edition colors and one limited-edition lip balm from The SheSpace to celebrate Sparklecrack Central’s first birthday! This is the final contest-week, and the final prize package!!

These four eyeshadows from my all-time favorite collection from The SheSpace, Cinderella Dumped Her Fella. I do wish that she’d continued her Client Faves program, or thought about making some of these shadows permanent, because this one collection contains most of my favorites from TSS. Once when Heather briefly made the collection available again, I got several dupes - even though I already had previously bought backups of many of these colors. I wish that I had some power to make these available again for everyone to purchase; but since I don’t, I can give away these and someone will enjoy them. The lip balm was not part of this collection, but was a limited-edition shade.

• The SheSpace’s She Does Sparkle eyeshadow
• The SheSpace’s Over Coiffed eyeshadow
• The SheSpace’s One Broken Stiletto eyeshadow
• The SheSpace’s Secret Wishes eyeshadow
• The SheSpace’s Fabulous Me lip balm

This week’s contest is open to anyone, anywhere. The contest is open from now (starting with this entry) through Sunday January 31 at 12:01 AM Pacific time. Leave comments to enter — check out full contest rules if you have any questions! And spread the word!

Birthday Contest, Week Three

Hi all! This week I am giving away makeup from Bare Escentuals - one blush, two eyecolors, and a mini-mascara - to celebrate Sparklecrack Central's first birthday!

Mango Smoothie and Retro have recently been discontinued, but they're both lovely shades: Mango Smoothie was part of the Blendable Eye: Fruit Smoothies kit, and Retro was available in a few kits earlier on in BE's history. Lovely is a warmer-toned blush, but not so warm that neutral- and cool-toned people can't wear it (like Golden Gate, which does indeed make me look like an Oompa Loompa.)

• Bare Escentuals’ Lovely blush
• Bare Escentuals’ Retro eyeliner
• Bare Escentuals’ Mango Smoothie eyeshadow
• Bare Escentuals’ Big Tease mascara

This week's contest is open to anyone, anywhere. The contest is open from now (starting with this entry) through Sunday January 24 at 12:01 AM Pacific time. Leave comments to enter — check out full contest rules if you have any questions! Spread the word!

Birthday drawings! The prize packages

My site’s first birthday is coming up in twelve days!! I’ve assembled four prize packages that I’ll be giving away, all items new, none donated or “sponsored” - these are extras I bought for my own stash, and in a few cases I ended up with duplicates. Giveaways will be open to international folks too, but only for prize packages 2, 3 and 4. (Nail polish can’t be sent through regular mail because of their contents, so to minimize my costs I’m limiting that one to folks living in the US and Canada. Otherwise I’ve got to pay $80 to send a package to the UK, for example. If anyone can tell me inexpensive ways to ship nail polish internationally, I can change this.) I’ll post details of how to enter in a few days, but for now here’s the prize listing:
