A Very Fun Contest!

I stumbled across Cambo Soup's Giveaway/Contest VIA AmyNaree's post and I just had to enter!

For her contest, you have to make an outfit on polyvore.com :) Here is mine:

Classy and Edgy

This outfit has the full package, shoes, bag, makeup, and perfume! Since the hardware punky look is in this fall, I picked out Gunmetal and a black from Urban Decay to give it a smokey, edgy look. I also put orgasm blush from NARS to give it a flushed look :) and one of my favourite scents: Maybe Baby by Benefit (smells similar to L by gwen stefani but more fruity and less musky)

Prizes are:

1. 1 Brand New Beautyblender sponge (shipped via Amazon with two day shipping). I really love this sponge and I hope the recipient enjoys it as much as I do.

2. 1 Brand New book: Get Positively Beautiful: The Ultimate Guide to Looking and Feeling Gorgeous (shipped via Amazon with two day shipping). This beauty bible is written by the famous makeup artist Carmindy!

3. 1 Brand New DHC Velvet Skin Coat Primer and 1 Brand New Burt's Bees Carrot Seed Oil Complexion Mist (shipped by me). I own and love both products! I will include nail polishes and skin care samples as well!

So there will be three different winners and the three different categories of prizes above will be alloted randomly among them. This contest is open both to U.S. residents and those living abroad.
