It’s CONTEST time!! – NOW CLOSED
I am thrilled to have you follow my blog so as a thank you, I’m hosting a Reader Appreciation Contest!! What’s at stake? It’s a surprise goodie bag containing some of my favorite items including MAC Cocomotion pigment and Body Shop Vitamin E Body Butter! The contest will run between now until October 1 (11.59 p.m. EST), where a winner will be selected by a random draw. Contest open to international readers.
The rules are as follows:
1) For one entry, you must be a follower of this blog and comment below
2)For two entries, post about this contest on your site, comment below and including the post URL
3) For three entries, I’ve updated this. You must tell me what your favorite post is that you’ve read on Lipstick Rules and how long you’ve been a Lipstick Rules reader.
The first two ladies (SweetJoJo and ComputerGirl) who commented and alerted me of issues that my original idea for #3 would have had, get four entries automatically. Thanks for your honesty!!!
Good luck ladies!!

Fantastic giveaway hunny!!! So enter me please gorgeous
Im going to blog about you in a second, but I was thinking, for the 3rd entry, once somebody posts the answers in a comment, to the 3 questions you've asked, then other people are just going to use them answers to bag themselves a 3rd entry, instead of actually knowing the answers because they are an avuid reader of your blog. Haha typical of me to think of all the possibilities, I think way too much!

My favourite posts specifically would be:

MAC MSFs – why the fuss
Obsession with Brown Shades: NARS Mekong
I really love reading your posts as they're so interactive and its great to see what others are saying and their opinions

PS: I also tagged you for an award yesterday
Sep 16, 2009 @ 04:04:26
Now, my favorite post…very hard to say, because I'm an avid reader of your blog. All of the QOTD are brilliant, because I love the idea of being interactive and stimulate one's brain…but I'd say my fave of all time is now "Dear bloggesses: advice for new bloggers?", beacuse it was very kind of you to share tips and tricks with everyone else.
As for how long I have been following my blog, it is ever since I have started mine, in July

Sep 16, 2009 @ 18:51:31
Hi, can I join in too please?
I've been reading your blog for ages now, I'd say about two months but I've only recently become a follower as I only just figured out what that means and how much easier it is to keep up with everyone's blogs!
My favourite post is probably the items worth splurging on
Sep 17, 2009 @ 04:19:13
I'm going for 3 entries!
My favourite Lipstick Rules post is the one entitled "Makeup for Mommy" The Arrival of my Illamasqua haulage – very intriguing to read how excited your little boy was for his mother because she's received a package containing makeup! Ha ha! I've been reading your blog for about 2 months.

i've just began reading ur blog entries, and i enjoy the QOTDs
and i totally identify with ur post: oops-i-did-it-again-beauty-binge. haha that's why i have to stop myself from entering the body shop, because 8 out of 10 times i end up buying something hahaha! luv that eyeshadow trio, so lemming for it!
i've posted this contest on my site:

1. Done
3. I've been a reader for several months. My fav posts are your posts on drugstore brands… Bc I'm a fellow Canadian, and most blogs I read are American, with American products. I use a lot of MAC, but love to hear what drugstore products are worth trying and readily available to me.

I was just reading your blog about the two sided lipstick that subtlety changes other lipsticks that you found at Shoppers Drug Mart. That sounds like something I could use! I love to keep up to date on these things, so thank you for this blog!

I've been following your blog for around 2 to 3 months now and my favourite post of yours was the one about having all the brown eye shadows. I could definitely relate to that post because my make up collection is filled with brown shadows of all different shades–or so I'd like to think so that I don't feel like I'm spending frivolously lol.
Thanks again!
