Do your lashes long for mad, glossy shine? Does your fringe freak for serious curl hold?

Today’s giveaway features MAC Dazzle Lash mascara, for a natural, glossy lash look with curl hold to spare.

THE PRIZE

(Winner randomly selected)

One (1) tube of MAC Dazzle Lash mascara. This baby feels light and soft on lashes and gives “lash-challenged ladies” (like myself) the natural-looking fringe we *wish* we were born with. Prize valued at $13 (one winner).

TO ENTER

Just answer the following question in the comments (no worries; there’s no right or wrong answer):

“What makes you dazzling?”

My answer: I wish I could say it was my long, lovely legs, but, alas, most middle schoolers tower over me (I’m only 5’1″). I guess, then, it would be my strange sense of humor. It comes in handy when I need to turn on the charm… WHOA! Did you feel that? I just turned it on. 🙂

RULES

The giveaway is open to US and international readers. Please, one entry per person, and don’t forget to leave a valid email address in the comment form so I can reach you if you’ve won.

I’ll choose the winner at random from the entries received by 11:59 p.m. PST on Friday, June 18, 2010.

Best of luck!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

  10. What makes me dazzle? I would like to think it’s my ability to make lemonade. No, not lemonade, but being really optimistic when everything seems to be falling apart. That feeling of ” I can get through anything” just seems to get passed on to my friends. It’s a good thing to pass on.

  11. Me, dazzling? Why thank you! Like you, I’d love to credit a pair of lengthy legs for my je ne sais quoi, but the truth is that my trademark big grin (thank you, orthodontist!) is the more probable reason behind my sparkle 🙂

  18. Of all the dazzling things about the dazzling me is my dazzling smile! (typed with as much confidence as I can muster) and maybe my cheeks? LOL

    Btw, you are like my daily dose of humor. Everything just makes me laugh! It’s no doubt your best trait 🙂

  19. Why thank you dear! I’d like to say that my bizarre sense of humor is dazzling, but I’ll be modest and credit my dazzle to my rather insane smile that makes my eyes shine. :-p

  24. i dont think anyone notices, it’s on the inside, all the boys see my nice hair, nice long legs and round ‘bubble’ butt as they put it. I think it’s that even after so much pain the people i love and care about the most put me through, that i still want to make sure they are not hurting that they still mean everything to me. that even through the tears blurring my vision i just hope that tomorrow they have a good day. that’s what i think is dazzling but they never take the time to notice.

    your blog brings a smile to my face. thank you for cheering me up every day karen!

    • its sad that ppl dont notice that about u, but its good that ur the type of person 2 have a heart 2 notice it in others 🙂

  25. Hmm. Interesting adjective. :]
    Physically, my eyes. They’re unique. Otherwise, my wit. I think I have a pretty rad sense of humor. :]

    Reply

  26. Hmm, I’d say what makes me dazzling is my constant ability to smile, day in and day out. =D

    Thanks for throwing this contest, Karen!

  28. I’m told it’s my smile. When I went in to start student teaching we were told “Don’t smile until Thanksgiving” – apparently it’s “good” for classroom control. The next sentence was “‘Hyzenthlay’, don’t bother trying; you can’t help smiling.” It’s true 🙂

  29. wewt giveaway!! =DDD

    Hm….what makes me dazzling.

    Yep, it’s gotta be my freakishly pale skin. Last weekend when I bared a bit more skin and went swimming with friends, they literally shielded their eyes when they looked at me under the sun. I think I’m whiter than my white friends…

    =( I guess that makes me dazzling in a special way.

  30. i think what makes me dazzling is my smile! not because my teeth are pearly white, or perfectly shaped… or that they’re encircled by lush, rosy lips. no (but that’d be pretty great, huh? ), i think my smile is what makes me dazzling because it doesn’t start with my lips & teeth–it starts and ends where every dazzling smile should—with the eyes!

    Reply

  32. What makes me dazzeling…
    emotionally I would say being strong under pressure
    physically my eyes, as my husband tells me 🙂

    Reply

  35. what makes me dazzle is my sense of compassion. i’m always there to help a friend or family member. even tho i’m pretty busy as a college student and studying for MCATs, my friends and family know that they can always count on me to run an errand, give advice, help with an essay, or anything in between,

    Reply

  38. I would have to say my jolly sense of humor! 😀 I can make the most out of anything literally. Confident enough to cheer up certain people 🙂

    Reply

  39. My ability to get along with anybody without having to change who I am. I would say that, or maybe it’s just the fact that I smile a lot!

    Reply

  46. I suppose the easy answer is my hair. But I think it’s my ability to cheer people up when they’re feeling peeved.

    Reply

  47. having my husband with me makes me dazzle….i knw i knw thats cheesy….but thts true,as he brings out the best in me all the time……otherwise if a physical feature is to be listed..then its defenitly my lips….

    Reply

  48. Nice giveaway!
    To answer your question: I always hear I have beautiful eyes. But personally I like my sense of humour. I usually get people to laugh which is nice offcourse 😀

    Reply

  52. My eyes, they are huuuge and the same colour as my name (Jade)…..but I think most people appreciate my dazzling ability to remember birthdays, seriously, I’m handy to have around 🙂

    Reply

  54. It will probably have to be my eyes, according to what people usually tell me. Not to brag or anything but they look even more dazzling when I have really dark black mascara on 😉 Other than that, I guess it would just have to be how girly I am generally. Every move I make literally screams how much of a girly girl I am!

    Reply

  55. Well, I’m dazzling because I always forget that shimmer/glitter everywhere is not the best thing, especially when you’re already oily. I’m such a disco ball.

    Reply

  57. My hands, weird huh :p. I think I have the most gracefull hands I have ever seen. And long healthy nails, those I inherited from my father. So I alsways use a crazy colour to make them stand out.
    All I know that it works, first thing guys notice are my hands :p.

  59. My very long shiny hair and my full lips… Actually my Mediterranean warmth as I am the typical Italian girl!

  61. My blind optimism on things LOL. I’d have to say my smile, because hubs say I have the cat smile since my lips seemed to curve slightly up in the middle when I smiled. Like this :3.

  62. I asked the Hubs for his answer to the question and he said — “Its your smile – it comes unexpected and when it does, your eyes crinkle and sparkle and its like a ray of sunshine.” I love him so much for saying that. Hes not a man of many words most of the time … 🙂

  64. Short ladies’ high five, Karen! I’m 4’11!
    Hmm I guess my charm would be I’m short yet feisty? (or so have said a few people before. Being small does force me to be sassier than I’d normally be) That and my accent heheh, that’s the good thing about living abroad!

  65. I think it is my laid back personality. I have gotten compliments on how I do not act like “typical” girls but I am not just one of the guys either.

  68. Oooh I don’t know….I don’t think it’s anything about my looks though!Lol
    Maybe my sense of humour and and I’m pretty smart and have an abililty to retain the most useless but interesting bits of information!

  72. I believe the fabulous way I paint my nails makes me dazzling. I think in my past life I was a manicurist. =) BTW – I’ve never even gotten a mani!

    Reply

  73. What makes me dazzling is that I’m far from perfect. I’m 5’3” with fine hair, yellow green eyes and a sarcastic sense of humor. I’m not what commercials indulge in. Still, i smile everyday and lather on the mascara.

    Reply

    • Hi Camille,

      i have 2 say i just got a little sad reading that u say ur far from perfect…
      no one is perfect and never will be cos there is no such thing…u dont need 2 BE perfect u just need 2 perfect being UR true self 🙂 and everyone should be happy with that 🙂

  79. YOU’RE ONLY FIVE-ONE?! You look so tall in your photos, Karen! (I’m 5’2″)

    What makes me dazzling: does this glittery Quench body lotion count? 😉 If not, I guess I’ll have to go with my obscure (that’s right — it’s not even NORMAL weird, it’s OBSCURE weird!) sense of humour!

  81. The funniest thing I can think of when I hear the word “Dazzling” is that in my high school junior year English class we had to come up with nicknames for ourselves using alliteration with our first names. Any ideas what mine was?

    You got it, “Dazzling Danielle”

    If that isn’t enough to make me Dazzling, I don’t know what is!

    Reply

  84. What makes me DAZZELING is my need to help others. My hubby tells me I’m a people pleaser. I say yes to everyone and my plans often overlap b/c I just want everyone to be happy. But that also makes me a dazzling friend and family member!

    P.S. This blog makes me smile every day!

  87. i’d have to say that it’s my cheeky smiles and grins 😀 i would have totally said that my height makes me dazzle, too, but i’m in the same department as you when it comes to height 😛

  90. Not to be repetitive of anyone else’s posts, but my positive attitude and friendliness make me dazzling. Thanks Karen!

  92. hmm what makes me dazzling? I would have to say that its my ability to cheer and be there for my homies. They can always count on me to say the darn-est things and be there for them with my hugs (im a hugging phase lol), smile and understanding. =)

  96. Lately I would say my hair, because it now black and shiny when I let it be natural after several years of not coloring/bleaching. Or my quirkiness, I am a vat of useless knowledge.

    Reply

  98. My ability to make friends with all kinds of people and get their life story within 10 minutes of meeting them. I love people, I love life and I love finding out new things about society in general!

  101. What makes me dazzling?! I guess it’s my smile and my charm! Apparently boys go crazy for that LOL… I’m not sure why, maybe just another pretty face to look at! I usually get personal with people so quickly from that 😀

    Reply

  107. What makes me dazzle? My BIG smile! I’m a receptionist at a high-end real estate company, and my appearance is important since I am the first person that people see when they come in. So that smile does the hard work for me when people come in the office. It gives them a welcoming feeling when they come and meet with a broker.

  111. My optimism! I hate it when people are sad; and I’m proud that i have the ability to make people feel uplifted and happy. It’s mostly about making the person feel cared for.

    Reply

  112. Me dazzling? That’s pretty funny. I guess I’d have to say my playful side. Everyone thinks I’m shy and innocent but once you get to know me there’s a fun and outgoing side.

    Reply

  116. Hmm.. my ability to not conform. I love to be individualistic and will not be the one doing what everyone else is doing. I love change and being different.

  118. What makes me dazzling I feel is my ability to laugh at myself. I think that is an important thing to have. I don’t take myself too seriously and try to have fun!

  121. My smile. I’ve got one of those huge mouthed sort of grins. Though my husband would probably answer “my boobs”. Sigh.

  125. Wow, you sure are petite! I think what makes me dazzling is my personality foremost, then I’d say my smile.

  131. Great question! I think my dimples, my big brown eyes, my white bright smile, and my fun bubbly personality make me dazzling to others. I get the most compliments on those things most often. I love to make people laugh and I love talking to people in general. Thank you!

  132. I’m young at heart and plan to stay that way even when I’m old in age. I am always looking to make each experience fun!! 🙂

  133. My sense of style! I love to mix vintage and new clothes and jewelry for a unique look, and I love wearing fun makeup to go with it.

    Reply

  136. What makes me dazzling is my MAC Mineralized Skinfinish in Porcelain Pink!! I have dull skin and not so high cheek bones, so I dust a bit of the MSF as a highlight on my cheek bones and voila, instant dazzle! But being kind and generous also helps. ;D

  138. In middle school, my cousin and I were trying to think of an AOL screen name. Her sister looked to a Crayola crayon box for inspiration and picked out the color “razzle dazzle rose.” My cousin picked the name RazDazzle. A year later, my family got AOL and we thought it would be a GREAT idea to be name twins (yes, I know how lame it sounds and actually was). I became DazRazzle and the nickname has stuck for the last 16 years. I am officially dazzling 🙂

  139. I got to say it is my smile. Not that I’m arrogant, but people seem to really respond to me a lot better when I have my big cheesy smile and add a giggle in there.

  143. My “down-for-anything-don’t-care-what-others-think” attitude. I think the fact that I’m a grown woman who will still play on the playground at 2 am and “army” roll across the grass when cops show up makes me pretty dazzling.

  144. My ability to ALWAYS interject humor into a situation. I don’t think I can think of one place that either a goofy or dry interjection is not needed at some point. I’ve seen and been in some bad situations and my sense of humor has always been my savior.

  152. I am dazzling because I am a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it!
    I love being in my late 30’s, the self assurance that I’ve lacked most of my life has been pitched to the side, I feel more beautiful than ever and my personality shines through:)

  164. I’ve had a rough week & it didn’t help me any today when I suffered an attack of insomnia the night before. The only dazzling aspect I find in myself is that I never get dark circles regardless of my lack of shut eye! They get a little puffy but nothing ice cubes can’t cure!
    P.S. I’m 5’1 too but my friends say for my proportions, I have long legs?? How does that work!?

  172. I think my eyes are pretty dazzling, if I do say so myself. They’re big and go from green to blue to grey, depending on what I’m wearing or the background. A little bit of shimmery champagne eyeshadow dabbed in my eyes’ inner corners also takes them from dazzling to super dazzling!

    Reply

  187. What makes me dazzling is my modesty. I don’t ever look down upon or think I’m better than another person.

    Reply

  189. Being cheerful and bubbly with a mega-watt smile that radiates from within makes me dazzling. I’ve had many sullen looking office workers take my flyers AND return a smile at me after a tiring day’s work. There was even one amusing lady whose face lit up when she saw me smile at her but her face fell slightly in the next moment when she realised she was gonna take an irritating flyer haha.

    Reply

  191. At the risk of sounding immodest, my irreverent sense of humor (that has gotten me into a good bit o’ trouble at times) is also what people like most about me. At my 35-year high school reunion last weekend, one classmate told me I was still “a magnificent rascal” and another said I was a “sparkplug”. I took both comments as complements and only hope that if I win the Dazzlelash, I will be thought of as a HAWT rascal.

  198. Hmmm.. what makes me dazzle is when i’m wearing my favorite perfume. Jo Malone in Nectarine and Honey. It’s really nice and makes me feel really good.

    Reply

  203. What makes me dazzle? Regardless of what I’m wearing or how I look on the outside, what makes me dazzle is my sense of humor, my generosity, my ability to make people laugh especially when they are down but most importantly, my friendship and the fact that I’ll always be there for whoever needs me, whether just to lend an ear to listen to somebody’s woes or a shoulder to cry on. What makes me dazzle is prioritizing family and friendship over everything else. Because without that, what do we really have?

    Reply

  204. I guess it would have to be my ability to just be myself despite the pressures that surround being a teenage girl in a world concerned mostly about how many people you’ve slept with and what clothes stick most to your skin. I try to focus most on inside beauty but of course don’t neglect the many perks of being a girl- makeup! (:

  215. What makes me dazzling? Probably my inner strength and sense of fairness and justice. (Although, coming from a background where praise was seldom forthcoming, and pride in oneself actively discouraged, it seems weird to say nice things about myself!)
