Ciao, vuoi un gelato?

This series is brought to you by Buxom Color Choreography Eyeshadow. Buxom wants to inspire you to live life vividly.

Got some beauty staples that need restocking?

A collection you’ve been coveting?

A vacation you’ve been wanting to book?


A girl with purple cat ears waits for something, somewhere in the middle of Montana…

Why not do all three? 🙂 Enter the Makeup and Beauty Blog Buxom Photo Contest for a chance to win a $500 Visa gift card.

But wait, there’s more (I always wanted to say that). Because we’re big on beauty ’round these parts, the prize also includes more than $100 in Buxom cosmetics. On top of the gift card, that’s a total prize package worth more than half a grand.

Entering is easy, and the full details are down below, but here’s the gist of it: all you need is a picture of yourself taken at a time when you felt great.

Maybe a travel picture from an exciting trip…

Or something closer to home.

Or, how about a fun time you had with friends?

NOTE: Cheesy pics that show you goofing off are totally welcome, too. 🙂


Yeah, we’re vampires. What’s up?

It can also be something makeup or beauty related, like perhaps a pic of that nifty neon mani/pedi you did all by yourself, or a shot of your new highlights. Whatever you choose, it just has to be a picture that shows you “living life vividly,” like the pictures in this post.

For even more entry ideas, here’s a look at all of the entries so far.

  3. Tag it with the following tag:
    • BuxomPhotoContestMakeupandBeautyBlog
  4. Simply post a link to your Flickr photo in a comment at the bottom of this post (yup, this post here)

How will the winner be picked?

Tabs and I will choose the winner based on the following criteria…

  • Creativity/originality (33%)
  • The overall quality of your submission (33%)
  • How well it displays you “living life vividly” (34%)

A $500 Visa® gift card and an assortment of Buxom® cosmetics, including two (2) Buxom Color Choreography eye shadow palettes, one (1) Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish, and one (1) Buxom Lash (volumizing mascara).

  10. I recognise the first picture! it was right taken outside Amorino, my absolute favourite gelato parlour! You should have taken it in a cone though, they make a HUGE flower out of the different flavours that you choose. I just had one yesterday, mmm!

    • Hi FS.Rain,

      I’m sorry, but this one is only open to US residents (legal reasons). I’ll try to host a comparable contest or giveaway for overseas readers soon, but in the meantime, do you ever enter the weekend Sephora giveaways? Check in on Saturday mornings for those (they are open to overseas folks).

    This is my second entry, from when I got to go to Egypt. It was beautiful, I absolutely loved seeing all the magnificent sights. The photo is of me “kissing” the sphinx. Cool story, the sphinx’s head is actually much smaller than the rest of its body and the sculpting is much newer. It is believed that the reason for this is that it was once a much larger lion sculpture carved in the Egyptian “Time of the Lion” and when Pharaoh Khufu began constructing the great pyramids, he decided he was really a big fan of his own face and had the lion’s head carved into his own. Unlike the belief that the sphinx’s nose was lobbed off in some wartime target practice, it is now known that it is more likely the stone wasn’t sturdy enough to be carved any smaller, so Khufu ruined his own nose in having it carved. Shortly after this photo I got a chance to climb up inside the second pyramid, which is among the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do in my life.
