Giveaway: Walmart Gets Pretty!

Dina Fierro — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 03:29:35 +0000

Truth be told, since I live in NYC, Walmart is a positively exotic shopping experience to me. I’ve only been a handful of times in the past few years but whenever I’m in the vicinity of a store, I feel compelled to shop.

I have no excuse for not shopping Walmart anymore though – the site just launched Health & Beauty products online for home delivery. That means that thousands of items from your favorite mass brands like Neutrogena, L’Oreal, Pantene and Gillette can now be shipped directly to home. Convenient, right? No running out of razors or sunscreen!

To help celebrate the launch, I’ve partnered with Walmart to create an amazing bag of goodies that ONE Makeup Minute reader will win!

The bag contains:

*Cover Girl Continuous Lip Color in Rose Quartz

*Cover Girl Lashblast Volume Blasting Mascara in Very Black

*Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Trio in Shimmering Sands

*Crest Advanced Seal White Strips

*Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream with Amino Peptides

*Pantene Pro-V Moisture Renewal Shampoo for Damaged Hair

*Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant

To win, simply enter a comment telling me which product you’d be most excited to try! One winner will be selected at random on Friday, November 6. Good luck!

Win This: Maybelline Great Lash BIG + More!

Dina Fierro — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 02:49:25 +0000

Maybelline’s Great Lash Mascara is a cult favorite and with good reason – it’s a great mascara at an even better price. The brand is now launching Great Lash BIG, a new mascara with the same amazing formula but a BIGGER brush that hits every lash.

To create the commercial for Great Lash Big, Maybelline took a unique approach! BIG, the Great Lash Big mascot, trekked the streets of NYC to find charismatic, aspiring women to make a big impression (and appear in the Great Lash Big Gig)! Take a look at the some behind-the-scenes footage here, along with the final advert:

If you’re anything like me, you’re intrigued by Great Lash BIG. Well, if you want to be the FIRST it, you’re in luck! Makeup Minute readers have the chance a Maybelline prize pack valued at $75 - it includes a branded compact mirror, full-sized samples of Great Lash BIG and other goodies too!

To enter, simply leave a comment on this post. Don’t forget to tell me what your favorite Maybelline product is! One winner will be chosen at random next week!

Good luck!

UPDATE: Comment #15, Heather, is the winner! Heather, please respond to my email with your mailing address.
Thanks to everyone who entered!

Makeup Minute Freebie: New York Color

Dina Fierro — Tue, 12 May 2009 20:23:03 +0000

These days, even those of us who LOVE to splurge (who, me?) are in a more recession-friendly state of mind. That said, there are just a few brands that I can think of that deliver prestige-level quality at a wallet-friendly price – and one is N.Y.C., also known as New York Color.

From eye shadow to blush or lipstick, this brand has got you covered. My personal favorite from the collection is the Browser Brush-on Brow Powder with Grooming Wax and Tweezers – at just $3.99 SRP, it has everything you need for perfect brows on the go. Love it!

But it’s not all about me here, ladies. It’s about YOU and you’re in for a treat. Makeup Minute has partnered with N.Y.C. to bring you an exclusive giveaway!

250 (NOT A TYPO! 250 of you!) will win 2 coupons worth $5 each for N.Y.C. New York Color Products good at participating retail stores. Winners will be chosen at random from the entries received.

Simply sign up via this link from now through 6/5 to enter. Good luck!

Dina Fierro — Sat, 09 May 2009 23:26:00 +0000

If you’re an obsessive lover of beauty products as I am, let me introduce you to BeautyFix ($49.95 quarterly.)

This clever beauty sampling program lets you indulge in full and deluxe travel size high end beauty goodies, from brands that you may already know (like Jonathan) and brands that may be new to you (maybe Lisa Hoffman or 3Lab.)

I truly fell in love with a couple of products from the first edition and the second BeautyFix is even better. So far, I’m loving the Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Mask, a cool exfoliating gel that smells of Granny Smith apples and the smooth Global Goddess eye shadow, which I received in a gorgeous gold (shades vary.)

You can sign up for your very own membership an get more information about the brands included over at www.beautyfix.com OR if you’re feeling lucky, you can enter to win a kit of your very own- I have 15 for lucky Makeup Minute readers! Simply leave a comment below and you’ll be entered to win!
