GIVEAWAY: 300 Followers! **CLOSED**

I've reached 300 followers and I am SO excited! I want to thank everyone for being so supportive. When I started doing this blog, I didn't expect anyone to ever read it.

I wanted to celebrate reaching 300 but also celebrate the new year... so I figured a giveaway would be the perfect chance!

Here's what you have the chance of winning:





















- e.lf. Get The Look: Day to Night
- e.l.f. Hypershine Gloss set
- e.l.f. Beauty Encyclopedia - Neutrals Edition
- Stila Fabulous in Fiji mini palette
- China Glaze Sugar Plums nail polish
- China Glaze Mistletoe Kisses nail polish (very hard to find, from Holiday 2010)
- Milani Baked Eyeshadow in Famous (new!)

I really liked the e.l.f. items I got for myself and wanted to give some away, and I heard nothing but good things about the polishes so I thought they'd go great in the giveaway!

Here are the rules:
1) As usual, you must be a follower of my blog. HOWEVER, in this giveaway I will be automatically giving all of my current followers one entry. If you find this post and follow (so if you're after 305), you will obviously be included as well. All followers will be counted up to the deadline of the giveaway.
*If you subscribe in some other way, please tell me. I will be unable to see anyone that does not show in my Google Friend Connect.

2) For an additional entry, you can leave a comment on this post telling me what you'd like to see more of on this blog.

3) The contest will end on January 16, 2011 at 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time.

4) I will announce the winner within 48 hours and they will then have 48 hours to contact me, or I will choose another winner! I can be reached at guitarsoloist07@yahoo.com

5) Please DO NOT leave your email information anywhere in the comments. This is to protect your information and also prevent any bots from spamming you. They prey on giveaway posts. I will be forced to remove any comments containing said information.

ADDITIONAL ENTRIES:
Of course I do this.
- 1 additional entry: Follow CydonianMU on Twitter and tweet about this giveaway. Please @ me in the tweet so that I can see it and count it.
- 1 additional entry: "Like" Turtle Beauty on Facebook and spread the giveaway post on your wall. Please tag Turtle Beauty so that I can see it.
- 2 additional entries: Post this giveaway on your own personal blog. As usual, blogs made solely for giveaway will NOT count.
- 5 additional entries: Create an original makeup look using some form of glitter... it can be glitter eyeliner, loose glitter on your lips, anything! Go for it! It must be for this giveaway only. You can post it on your blog and link it to me, or you can email me your photos. If you email them, please hold up a sign with your email address so that I know the pictures are yours.

Good luck everyone and I wish I could give a present to all of you! Thanks so much, again.

  12. Very cool giveaway, and very generous. I would love to see more FOTD, they are so inspiring. Reviews are great too.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I like the photo tutorials and FOTD/looks the best I think. I followed a link from Makeup Geek and followed you after I got a clue about how to use that feature, but I was reading regularly before that. We have the same shade skin along with very similar coloring in general, so when I see your pics I can get a pretty decent idea of how these products/shades would look on me and that's really helpful.

  22. What an awesome give away!

    I always love tutorials, and photo tutorials especially, so please keep those coming! I also really enjoy if you can compare two similar products (such as high-end vs buget) in a full-out battle :-) And I love background stories, history, cross cultural and all other different sidebars on beauty. And smart DIY tips & tricks are always welcome!

  64. Congrats on reaching 300 followers! I follow through GFC as Sterling Morgenstern & am on Twitter as Morgensterling. I loved your purple lipstick swatchfest, I think it would be cool to do more colour sets, it's always fun to see comparisons, especially cross-brand, it helps show the uniqueness of each product and showcases different brands/colours people might not have considered before. Thanks and Cheers!

    Whatever you're writing now is already fine but I guess I particularly like to see swatches and comparisons of cheap and exp items ^^ And oh, hauls too.

    Posted in my blog : http://sugarcoatedmuffin.blogspot.com/2011/01/january-giveaways.html

    I actually did the glitter look but on one eye only. Crap.. So I'll see if I have time for a full face.

  83. I follow in GFC as Donna J but it somehow goes through my twitter, which I never use, instead of my blogger profile. Anyway, I am an old follower, one of the 305.

    What I liked was learning more about you when you answered the fifteen questions. Not that I think you should do that again! But it's nice to see the human side of bloggers instead of just the beauty products. I like when bloggers talk about themselves, their other interests,, and their lives in general, as much as they are comfortable with.

    ReplyDelete
  84. I have recently followed you via GFC by the name of 'TEEZLES' and having gone through your blog after a while, I have noticed that you should do NOTDs, DIY/craft posts or tips for everyday use? That would be fabulous. I'm not sure if this counts but I also liked your Facebook page already.
