10 Days of Giveaways: Comment to Win MAC Tricolour Lipglass and Dear Cupcake Eyeshadow

May 25th, 2009 by Karen 301 Comments

This giveaway is closed. I’ll be contacting the winner shortly. Thanks for entering!

makeup and beauty blog 10 days of giveaways waikiki walls

Whenever I make it over to see my family in Hawaii, I try to get a shave ice, one of my favorite sweet treats.

Pronounced “shave ice”, it’s a souped up snow cone with finely shaved ice flavored with syrups like Liliko’i (a variety of passion fruit), guava, mango and tangerine. People will sometimes add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and/or sweet, chewy azuki beans to the bottom of the cone (trust me — it’s good).

My favorite place to get shave ice here on Oahu is Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore. I always get the same thing: a small Liliko’i with ice cream and beans at the bottom and condensed milk on top. YUM!

Sweet Hawaii-style shave ice reminds me of MAC’s Sugarsweet collection, and today’s giveaway features two of its tasty treats!

The prize

mac-tricolour-lipglass

mac-dear-cupcake-eyeshadow

One lucky lady will win two items from MAC’s Sugarsweet collection (a $32 value):

  • MAC Tricolour Lipglass in Tasty: a sheer raspberry pink
  • MAC Eyeshadow in Dear Cupcake: a shimmery pinkish coral

How to enter

To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment in the comments section below. It can be about anything at all. Tell me about your pet, your job, what deodorant you’re wearing — seriously, anything at all!

I’ll pick the winner at random from among the people who enter by 11:59PM PST Monday night (tonight).

Suwertehin ka sana!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Random thought. Well because you mentioned deodorant. I recently found out I was pregnant (yay!…we’ve been trying…)…does that mean that I should not use deodorant with anti-perspirant? Any thoughts ladies?

    one of my dogs back home in NC is blind because he was 7 months old he dug his way out of our backyard and jumped into the side of a car on a busy street(note: he jumped, he wasn’t hit) and so he had 2 surgeries and wasn’t able to walk on his right hind leg for 6 months and i helped him walk on it again

    Omg! I am sooo glad I checked your blogged today. My family is from Mexico and everytime I go we get “raspados” which is shaved ice and we also flavor them with syrup and fruit! I am so excited to hear Hawaii has something so similar! My fave one is guava, condensed milk is a must. I dont think they add ice cream in Mexico, but maybe I might next time just to try it out!

    “10 minutes ago from TwitterBar: I reached up just now to adjust my hair & got a whiff of my deodorant. It’s a new tube, & a new scent I’m trying for the first time. Dove Energizing Grapefruit and Lemongrass. I really, REALLY like it. It makes me smell all clean and HAPPY! (You know what they say: Clean-ness is next to happy-ness. Or … something.)

    Today I went with my mother for the Memorial Day sales at the local shopping mall.
    I saw the cutest Coach bag, but found out it cost $400, and had to get out of Nordstroms before I stole it by accident.
    I stopped at the MAC store, my mom looked at me and rolled her eyes so I couldn’t even look at the products.
    I visited a couple stores, got a bath robe, PJ pants and a terricloth slipper from bath and body works….. beautiful baby pink! I LOVEEE IT!
    Oh and this is allll after a play rehersal at 10 in the morning… I was so tired but I made myself keep walking.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
