Two Ways to Win Benefit Glitz Glam & Gloss

December 21st, 2009 by Karen 266 Comments

  • UPDATE: Dec. 23, 2009. The giveaway is now closed, and the winner will be contacted soon. Good luck! 🙂

Touchdown (we landed safely)!

Greetings from cloudy Kaneohe, ladies. 🙂 It’s a little after 6 p.m. on Monday. I’m sitting here in my in-law’s small townhouse at the foot of the jungly Ko’olau Mountains on the Eastern side of the Island of Oahu. Right now we’re just catching up, chatting about Christmas and watching Jay-Z on Oprah, LOL!

On the flight over here I got to thinking about options and how most girls like to have ’em, especially when it comes to lipgloss. At any given moment, I usually have three or four of them in my purse, ’cause you never know when you’ll feel the urge to coat your lips in sparkly purple gloss.

So in the spirit of options and how much we like having them, today’s giveaway features SIX sassy lipgloss shades by the babes at Benefit.

The prize

One lucky lady will win Benefit Glitz Glam & Gloss (a $26 value), a set of three dual-headed glosses (six total). Each gloss packs a healthy helping of sheer, delicious color and loads of shine.

    Glad the flight went alright and you’re doing well! At first I was going to poke at you for having so many glosses in your purse (I usually only have one or two; right now it’s a tube of Besamé Vanilla) but I guess if you’re packed to travel it’s justifiable 😛

    Glad you had a safe trip. I used to study at Coconut Island in Kaneohe Bay. With 2 feet of snow on the ground, I’d much rather be there.

    There is no such thing as too many glosses in your purse. I always have an assortment of glosses and balms. In winter, I make sure there is something in my jacket pockets too. Right now, I’m digging Sally Hansen Carmindy lip glosses. I picked up a nude and a plummy pink. They have a great brush applicator and just a hint of stickiness to give them staying power without feeling tacky.

    Lip glosses are the ONLY makeup I carry with me when I’m out and about. When traveling, I take other stuff, obviously, but on a daily basis, I have a bunch of lip glosses (somehow I always seem to have three or four or more!!!!!). On the lip gloss thought, I had to return two today that I had bought a few weeks ago at CVS. Sally Hansen Lip Plumper eXtreme (or something like that) gave me, essentially, blood blisters on my lips. Yeah, I got full on chemical burns that filled with blood from some lip gloss. Not using that stuff ever again!

Not only does this store carry this impossible-to-get-if-you-live-in-this-dagnabbit-country-brand, the store in question is only 5 -FIVE- minutes away from where I live! ‘So… Why the frowny face, Roxanne?’, you may ask. Well, I’ll tell you, Karen. IT’S FRIGGIN’ EXPENSIVE! Buying one thing from Benefit could put me in debt for life. This MUST be a set up! (I expect the UN had something to do with it.)

The husband offered to give me his cocoa butter lip balm but thankfully he couldn’t find it (he thinks I need it for the cold / dry chapped-ness of the winter. I do! But I need it for the colour too…). As soon as I got into work, I dug through my bag and sighed in relief as I found my Nars Moonfleet, Lancome Toffee Pop and Chanel Glossimer 128.

    Once, someone parked on my houses garage, and it made my mom soooo mad. She is one of those people that are not good at getting angry, kinda holding it in and her voice gets really high. So the next day someone else was parked on our driveway, and it really pissed me off that someone was upsetting my poor mother again (she could strain a vocal cord!) so i put some chewing gum on the door handle, drew some penises on the window and taped a post it on that said WARNING: TONIGHT YOU DIE. I laughed for a while at my masterful vengeance and went on to my business, having restored the karmatic balance.

    A few weeks later my mom told me that my aunt didn´t want to come over anymore because my dad had left her a death treath on her car, your father is such an ass she said.

    I’m just a tad bit jealous that you’re in Hawaii right now – it’s about 20 degrees where I am >( But I’m heading out to California tomorrow, so yay! In fact, oddly enough, I’m going to Marin County, which I’m pretty sure is where you live. Unless I’m not as good a stalker as I thought :/

    My Christmas plans include sleeping in, eating a lot, and hanging out with friends and family. It’s the one time of the year that I really indulge myself. I actually don’t have a lipgloss in my purse right now. I am using a Burt’s Bee shimmer stick.

    As for what lippies are in my purse? Too many. They just build up, because I always think I better take that day’s color with me because I might need to reapply! But I just end up with a bunch of lip products floating in my purse! LOL!

    I used to carry a bunch of lip glosses/sticks but now I try just to carry the ones I use the most throughout the day. Here’s the ones that made the cut:

    Nars Pillow Talk (aka my favorite lip of the last couple months)
    California Kissin’ by Benefit — it’s amazing. Adds blueish tint to any lipstick
    Life on the A List by Benefit (it smells nice, but kinda drys on funny)
    and I had a soft lips chapstick around here somewhere? hmm

Right now, I’ve got a SoftLips, a Gap lip balm (in Apple Cider), and a Yes to Carrots tinted lip balm in my bag. However, I’m bummed out because I’m visiting family for the holidays right now, and I forgot to bring my Badger lip balm with me! It’s definitely the most soothing and moisturizing of all!

NARS is a bit expensive for me, so it helped to have your review to reassure me that this was worth 24 hard earned dollars. It is so worth it! Thanks!

    I have no gloss in my purse right now, since I emptied it out to clean it.

    I will say that there are still good people in the world. I had to ship 3 packages today and it came out to way more than I thought it would. The man at the shipping place got me a better price, but I was still $2+ short. He took the money I had out of my hand and said “Merry Christmas.” I almost cried, because my family has had a really rough Holiday season, so we’re pretty stressed, and then to have someone be so nice, when it seems people can’t be bothered…. It’s a real reflection of what the season should really be about… people being good to other people.

    I’m really enjoying the Neosporin Lip Health Overnight Renewal Therapy. Other than the long name.

    I always have about six lip products in my purse at any given moment! My Christmas plans are seeing my family and giving them presents!

    Last year I went to UK for Christmas (let me tell you, it was amazing) but this year I think I’ll just stay home D: Although I’ll go out with my friends and make an unique Xmas, like every year 🙂

    Speaking of Benefit, one of my favorite products is their cream eyeshadows. I own Skinny Jean (of course, haha, who doesn’t have it!?) and Birthday Suit. I’ve seen pics of a shade called Recess, a matte-ish nude like shade, but I can never find it at Sephora. Does anyone know a store that stock it? I don’t really like to shop online 🙁

    I Twittered! http://www.twitter.com/natalie647

    Happy hoidays! Thanks, yet again, for another awesome giveaway opportunity!

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).
