Super Fantastic Stila Giveaway Part Deux
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!
Come make me pretty
Stila like a magic wand
Make me love mirrors
I need more Stila
I am scaring small children
Oh look! More wrinkles!
When I was little
I rouged my face with chapstick
and hoped for beauty.
Both girls beg and plead
Mom, you’d really look better
If you wore make-up.
May the best Haikuiste win!
Congrats to Danielle, who has the short end of the stick here!
I live in the sticks
No makeup at corner store
Please send me Stila
I want nice makeup
Pretty please. I beg you ladies!
I can has pretty face?
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!
A little help, please?
Camouflage these dark circles -
No more drab for me!
In my little town
Walmart provides the makeup
Manolo, help me!
Ye Gods of Beauty
Cannot Censure Wit, Charm, but
Oh! Perfect Red Lips.
Stila lip glaze stick
I pine for you, my pretty
My sad lips need you.
Smoky eyes behind
glasses: a secret weapon
for the “shy bookworm”.
If beauty is truth
Then drugstore makeup tells lies
Trust only Stila
My little daughter
Like mama she loves Stila
We need to win this!
Ah! Stila, you bring
Joy and beauty to women
while eco-friendly.
Stila…Dear Stila!
SPF 15 with tint
Kiss my glossy lips
I don’t tend to win
Maybe if I call myself
Super Fantastic?
Limited budget:
I buy drugstore spackle, wish
For Stila’s sparkle.
Damn this gray weather!
Only gloss and bronzer make
It seem like summer.
Eyes gently close.
The sun sparks tiny starbusts
Off glittered eyelids.
I love all makeup,
I love a makeup contest,
I want to win bad!
Need a makeover!
Smoky eyes would be divine –
An edgier look.
Jeanine Lobell, I
Heart your fantastic colors.
Please, please, some for free!
Make-up is so fun
It makes me feel number one
Please let me have some!
Lonely makeup bag-
Filled with clumpy mascara
And caked eye shadow.
vain, superficial,
fleeting, artificial – yet
essential: makeup!
When you work from home
No one sees your pasty face
Still, I love makeup!
Got to win me some
Stila? Who is that? How come?
I’ve got to win this!
cosmetics enhance
like moonlight on the ocean
its pure witchery
Stila is the silk
That turns this caterpillar
Into butterfly
Glam look with no fret,
Beauty, confidence indeed,
Stila’s all I need!
STart with something good
I can make it better still
LAvish Stila on
I am far too poor
To dream of such nice makeup
Take pity on me
Fluffy dog’s delight
A bag full of sparkly treats
Where is my makeup?
What is this Stila?
Money enough for ramen,
I would like to try!
Makeup bag is a
drugstore melting pot. Time to
add fresh-faced Stila!
I’m a young grandmother raising my 6 yr. old granddaughter on my own, what more need I say…I could use all the help I can get!
My face craves this prize
to be beautiful; aglow
Stila, make it so.
If only Brando
Had yelled from the street
“Stila! I love you!”
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.
smooth, brilliant, and sweet
are the colors, scents, and tones
of your face and heart
simple equation:
an economy of words =
chance for free makeup
Fiftieth Birthday!
Denial is possible
with help from Stila.
Older than I was,
But the pretty girl lives on.
Just needs a little help.
Tears make raccoon eyes
Lipstick smears on his collar
I curse cheap makeup
I love my body
Despite the imperfections
Even more with Stila!
