Please pardon the gaps...

The site is in mid-migration now (manual migration of over 7,000 entries, so there's a lot to be done.) The entry stubs are created for older content, but for the most part, the actual content isn't there quite yet. I am working on it. Unfortunately I have no ETA. But feel free to link to any page! When the content does get populated, the URL will stay the same.

Winter Giveaway #3: My Favorite Things

Contest Closed: Congratulations to the winner, Sirvinya!

Okay everybody, this is it: The Big One. In celebration of my site's birthday (first half of January) and my birthday (second half of January) I'm giving away a fairly large prize package containing my favorite items: eye pencils, shadows, blush, lip colors, nail stuff, scented things...I'm even including a music mix. Most of these things were bought with my own money, but Morgana's Cryptoria generously donated two items. This giveaway is open to anyone, US or international.

The winner of this prize will receive:

  • Sephora Flashy Eye Pencil in Flashy Mauve
  • Sephora Flashy Eye Pencil in Flashy Brown
  • Morgana Cryptoria eyeshadow in Zaria, a lovely silvered pink-rose
  • Morgana Cryptoria eyeshadow in Chameleon Sea, a rich ocean-blue
  • Aromaleigh blush in Beauteous, a soft pink shimmer
  • Bare Escentuals' buxom San Francisco
  • Purely Cosmetics' Diamond Perfect Finish powder
  • Zoya polishes Edyta, Ki, and Tess
  • Zoya Color Lock minicure (because Anchor and Armor really do make Zoya's polishes last so much longer)
  • one package of scented candles from Ikea (I love these things. They're inexpensive, but they smell so wonderful!!)
  • Bath and Body Works' shower gel in White Tea and Ginger
  • mix CD of some of my favorite songs, from instrumental to industrial to silly to sacred
  • and yes, of course, red cake and cream cheese frosting

Thank you again to Morgana Cryptoria for graciously donating fullsize shadows of Zaria and Chameleon Sea for this giveaway!! I don't have as large a collection of Morgana's colors as I do others', but I can tell you her colors are well pigmented, have good adhesion, and are a fantastic value. Morgana's eyeshadows are comparable in quality and value to Aromaleigh, from among the other brands I've used.

A quick note: I've decided that I have giveaways so infrequently that I'd rather just pay the extra shipping to send a package via UPS if it's overseas, which will allow me to send nail polish. (And that will cost me...quite a bit.) So I'd...er...appreciate it if you would click on my Sigma Affiliate link if you intend to purchase from them?

Miscellaneous:

To qualify, you have to meet these four minimum points:

  1. You must be a registered member of the site by January 1st 2011, 11:59pm Pacific time.
  2. You must contribute twice, either a comment or a rating on any two posts - in addition to this post - between January 1 and January 31 (the date of the drawing). You must be logged in when leaving your comments or ratings so that I can more quickly verify your activity. You don't have to rate a recent product or entry - it can be one of the oldest entries on the site. You can rate a kit, an individual item, many of my op-ed rants, the looks that I've done...anything that displays the ratings dropdown in the upper right hand corner of the post.
  3. Follow me on Twitter (@sparklecrackHQ).
  4. Comment in this post, noting your member name, when you signed up, and your Twitter name.

Meeting all four of these criteria is mandatory, and gives you one chance to win (not four separate ones.)

For up to three additional chances to win, participate more and spread the word, and leave one comment on this post with links to your participation:

  1. one additional ticket: leave an eyecolor combination for me to wear on Dance Monkey Mondays. I've got the gallery up and running now, so even if you don't know the colors by name, you now have pictures. Maximum of one combination left between January 1 and January 31, and not left by someone else, will count as one additional "ticket".
  2. one additional ticket: tweet about my giveaway. Leave a link to your tweet in the comment section of this post.
  3. one additional ticket: mention my site on your site - the Dance Monkey Mondays, the giveaways, anything. You can either have a one-off entry, or a link in your sidebar. You can mention me on your blog, or on Facebook, either one - but you need to leave a link, and it must be something that's publicly visible. Leave a link to your mention in the comment section of this post.

Any regsitered member can earn up to four chances to win the giveaway.
