Super Fantastic Stila Giveaway Part Deux
By Glinda
With a record-breaking 238 entries, it will soon be time to announce the winner of the first Stila prize package.
But first…
If you didn’t win, don’t fret, I’ve got more! Two more prize packages, to be exact. There will be a Grand Prize filled to the brim with Stila products, retailing for over $175. Also, a runner-up will be awarded another prize package with over $100 in yummy Stila goodness, all provided by the lovely folks at Stila Cosmetics.
The runner-up package includes: Vintage Shadow Pot, Eye Shadow Duo, High Shine Lip Color, Lip Glaze Stick, and a Smoky Eye Palette.
The Grand Prize consists of: Eye Shadow Trio, a gorgeous Mazatlan Eye Shadow Trio, Smoky Eye Palette, SPF 15 Illuminating Tinted Moisturizer, High Shine Lip Color, Glitter Eye Liner and a Lip Glaze.
And how do you win such fabulous stuff?
By penning a winning haiku, of course! The subject of the haiku must be somehow related to beauty/makeup. It can be funny, serious, outrageous, whatever kind of haiku you do best. You will be using the classic 5/7/5 format, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five again in the last line. An example has kindly been written for you by raincoaster:
Stila will be mine
Ain’t no two ways about it.
No three-ways neither.
Assisting me with the judging will be my esteemed colleague raincoaster, as well as El Jefe, The Manolo himself.
So, here are the official rules, blabbity blah…
1. One entry per person.
2. Haiku not adhering to the subject matter outlined above will be disqualified.
3. Contest open to residents of the US and Canada.
4. Contest ends at midnight (Pacifc) August 29, 2008.
And now, the moment you have all been waiting for, the winner of the first prize package from the first giveaway!
Danielle of Elle in Wonderland, you have just made 237 people extremely jealous!
And the rest of you, come up with your best haiku and leave it below in the comments! Good luck and good haiku-ing!
Also, while you are here, why not add Teeny Manolo to your RSS feed? I promise you won’t regret it!

I am scaring small children
Oh look! More wrinkles!
August 16th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
When I was little
I rouged my face with chapstick
and hoped for beauty.
August 16th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Both girls beg and plead
Mom, you’d really look better
If you wore make-up.
August 17th, 2008 at 3:08 am
May the best Haikuiste win!
August 17th, 2008 at 4:09 am
Congrats to Danielle, who has the short end of the stick here!
August 17th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
I live in the sticks
No makeup at corner store
Please send me Stila
August 17th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
I want nice makeup
Pretty please. I beg you ladies!

August 18th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
It says one entry per person but I couldn’t make up my mind which one to send so here’s 4 haiku (is plural haiki?) on one entry….
Beautiful am I
By grace of the Manolo!
The gift of Stila.
*Note from Glinda: I simply cannot allow four haiku (and haiku is the singular and plural, BTW) on one entry, thus I chose the best one and deleted the rest. In this contest, rules were not made to be broken! Smooches!
August 18th, 2008 at 4:53 pm
A little help, please?
Camouflage these dark circles -
No more drab for me!
August 18th, 2008 at 9:21 pm

Smoky eyes behind
glasses: a secret weapon
for the “shy bookworm”.
August 18th, 2008 at 10:44 pm

Then drugstore makeup tells lies
Trust only Stila

August 19th, 2008 at 12:03 am
Limited budget:
I buy drugstore spackle, wish
For Stila’s sparkle.
August 19th, 2008 at 3:21 am
Damn this gray weather!
Only gloss and bronzer make
It seem like summer.
August 19th, 2008 at 5:45 am
Eyes gently close.
The sun sparks tiny starbusts
Off glittered eyelids.

Lonely makeup bag-
Filled with clumpy mascara
And caked eye shadow.
August 19th, 2008 at 11:12 am
vain, superficial,
fleeting, artificial – yet
essential: makeup!
August 19th, 2008 at 11:29 am
When you work from home
No one sees your pasty face
Still, I love makeup!
August 19th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Got to win me some

To dream of such nice makeup
Take pity on me
August 19th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Fluffy dog’s delight
A bag full of sparkly treats
Where is my makeup?
August 19th, 2008 at 2:07 pm

Money enough for ramen,
I would like to try!
August 19th, 2008 at 2:17 pm

My face craves this prize
to be beautiful; aglow
Stila, make it so.
August 19th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
If only Brando
Had yelled from the street
“Stila! I love you!”
August 19th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
If only I could
give Stila to NieNie who
is burned. Oh, someday…
I have already won a Stila gift, but if I win another one, I will auction the gift package on ebay to benefit my nephew Christian and his wife Stephanie, who were badly burned in a plane crash this weekend. Pray for Christian & NieNie and their four children…
NieNie has been a formidable blogger on the joys on motherhood. See her page at nieniedialogues.blogspot.com

Old lady standing here
What will make me young again
Perhaps some makeup will help
Can’t hurt.

Lipstick smears on his collar
