Giveaway #3: Stila makeup and THREE winners!
by Jillian @ http://blueshelled.com . July 20, 2009 . 11:00AM
It feels like forever since I did my last giveaway, but it’s really only been a little over two weeks. You guys make these really enjoyable for me. Since I hate waiting, I will probably step these up and do them more often for little items, as opposed to once every now and then for big ones. I’m still mainly providing them myself, so I do them when I can afford to do so. If anyone wants to sponsor a giveaway by providing goods, let me know. I’m down and I’ll disclose. All you have to do is follow through.
Leon and I sat here and pondered what my “theme” should be this go around. It is actually the hardest part of doing a giveaway, honestly. As I was pondering, Leon mentioned that he’d bought me a surprise recently as an “I’m sorry gift” for some recent “toolish” behavior. Said toolish behavior was getting himself a new blackberry with our only available phone upgrade when he knew good and well that I’d been waiting for a blackberry flip phone for over 5 years.
I make butt calls like no one you’ve ever seen. He’d been waiting on the blackberry tour. He was sneaky and got his phone. I may have said I could wait for a phone, but I DIDN’T REALLY MEAN IT AND HE KNEW IT. So, I wasn’t happy and he kept saying things like “look what this will do” and “ooooh” and “it goes so fast.” As my head spun like Linda Blair in the exorcist, I think he realized that perhaps repairs should be made. As such, a surprise was in the making.
Back to this weekend. Leon mentioned that he had a surprise on the way and that I’d like it. He wanted to know if I wanted to know what it was or wait. Anyone that knows me knows that I cannot wait on surprises. Seriously, I will buy someone a gift 2 months early, wrap it, and then have to give it to them right then. I can’t wait. I can’t I can’t I can’t. I have no self-control. Leon’s eyes had that “happy crazy husband” look when he said, “I bought you a kindle!”
I whooted.
Literally. I whooted! I’ve been waffling on whether or not I wanted one for years. When he said those magic words, I wanted one so badly that I could taste it. Soon, I’ll have one in my hot little hands. I’ve always loved reading. Most nights, I have to read for at least 2 hours or I can’t sleep. A.J. is the same way. We enjoy it so much.
To celebrate my new happiness, I’m going to share my favorite brand of makeup with you. I know, guys get the shortshaft at this blog. I’m going to try to do better in the future, but it’s hard because I don’t know what you want. Someone tell me! I can tell you this, if you win and give this stuff to a woman, it will get you fun happy time. I cannot promise you fun happy time, but women love Stila.
AND, there will be 3 winners this go round! THREE!
Prize 1 – stila silver clutch, eye shadow in shore, vanilla lip glaze, luminizer, black mascara and large pencil sharpener.
Prize 2- eye glaze in honey, vanilla lip glaze and black mascara
Prize 3- monmarte eye palette
Here’s how to enter:
1) Leave a comment before July 25, 2009 at 5pm CST telling me your favorite books and a one sentence descriptive reason for why you like the book.
For example, “I like the book The Da Vinci Code because it has an interesting Catholic conspiracy plot that kept my attention. NOT “The Da Vinci Code Rocked!” Notice how the second one tells me nothing about the book? The second one wouldn’t count. 
You can leave up to THREE favorite book comments. Yep, that’s three chances right there.
2) You can tweet this giveway and/or link it on facebook or your own blog for extra chances to win! Make sure you leave individual comments so all of your entries count. (That’s an extra 2 chances!)
Things to know:
**Anyone may enter as long as I can read your post (must be in English).
**You can only win one time per giveaway. So, if your comment numbers get drawn twice, you’ll still win once for the higher level prize that you’ve won.
**Comments posted after the deadline won’t be included in the drawing.
**If you win, you must email me your mailing address within a week of the drawing end in order to receive your prize. I am not responsible for anything that happens once this stuff leaves my hands. If it melts, gets lost, etc., I’ll feel really bad, but I can’t replace it.
**I will be using a randomizer to choose the two winners of the giveaway. As long as your answer fits the criteria, you are eligible (unless you are me, Leon or A.J.).

Life is like a game. We all have challenges, thoughts, opinions and beliefs. Often, it feels like something out there, life, karma, catty people, or blue shells (for the Kart lovers), seeks to bring us down. Luckily, we always get up. This is where I wear my heart on my sleeve and my foot in my mouth.
