A Smashing Giveaway: Enter to Win $80 in Smashbox for Valentine’s Day
Sun, 02/8/2009 by Karen | Posted in: Just For Fun, Makeup
Update: The giveaway is closed! I’ll be contacting the winner shortly. Thank you for entering!

When I was a kid, Valentine’s Day always stressed me out.
I liked to give out V-Day cards to my classmates, but before I’d sign the cards I’d separate them into two piles. The first contained the “lovey dovey” cards — the ones reserved for the boys who were less yucky than average — and the other pile contained the “strictly platonic” cards.
Smashbox O-Gloss Intuitive Lip Gloss ($22) gives me grade school V-Day flashbacks.
Almost like magic, it turns a different shade of pink based on the wearer’s skin chemistry (think Hypercolor for lips!).
There was a time when the thought of kissing a boy totally and completely grossed me out, but taste- and scent-free O-Gloss turns my lips a shade of rose I like to call, “I’ve been making out with C. Bale El Hub for hours!”
Take O-Gloss home for Valentine’s Day!
I think it’s time for a giveaway! ![]()

The Prize
Thanks to Smashbox Cosmetics, one luck winner will take home a tube of Smashbox O-Gloss and a set of Smashbox eyeshadow duos and brushes, just in time for Valentine’s Day ($81 value).
- Smashbox O-Gloss Intuitive Lip Gloss: It turns a different shade of pink based on the wearer’s skin chemistry ($22).
- Rapture Eye Shadow and Brush Set: A limited edition set with 16 eyeshadow colors and two full-size eye brushes ($59).
