**CONTEST TIME**

Hey guys! So, in celebration of hitting 20 subscribers I am going to be holding my first contest on YouTube. I will have a video posted in a few days once I'm done getting the prize bag together. But, here's a quick run down of how the contest will go in case you want to get a head start on things before I get the video up.

Rules:

*you must be a subscriber
*not just the first 20 to subscribe can enter, any one who is a subscriber can participate
*you must be 18 year of age or older -- or have parental permission to give out your address if you win
*you can live anywhere, not just the US
*there will be 1 winner -- once I have more subscribers I can do larger contests with multiple winners, but for now, lets keep it simple :)
*ONE entry per person please!!
***the most important rule of all -- HAVE FUN and BE CREATIVE :)

So, what do we have to do??

Well, this contest will be a fun one, let me tell you! You will be creating a look either on yourself or a model of your choice. It can be a full video tutorial or it can be a picture slide show video if you do not feel comfortable filming it. BUT, if you do a picture tutorial I do ask that you be holding a piece of paper in each picture with your YouTube user name written on it so that I know it is your work, not some pictures you found on the internet. Now the look I am asking you to create is............Create a look based on a game. Whether it is a video game, a board game, a character from either type, or whatever you come up with. I am VERY much into video games and board games so this seems like a fun idea to me.

If you do not do a video tutorial and choose to do a picture version then please list all of the products you used in the side bar of the video. The video must be public and made as a response video to my coming soon contest video.

It's as simple as that.

The Prizes???

Well, I have a bunch of goodies for the winner, and I am adding more daily it seems! Many of the items are favorite products of mine and a few new things that I haven't even tried yet! They will all be revealed in the video this week.

A Few More Notes:

-You will have plenty of time to work on and enter into the contest -- I'm thinking about making it a 2 to 3 week thing. But, I haven't decided for sure yet.
-I will need at least 10 entries into this contest for it to continue :)
-Judging will be based on creativity, origionality, how well the look comes together and also how much fun you have :)
-I will be judging this contest myself but will be taking any input that others have to offer. So, if you watch someone's video and like it or don't like it, leave a comment and let me know.
-You certainly do NOT have to use products like MAC or anything like that if you do not own them, you can absolutely use drug store brands or whatever else you have. I don't want people to feel like they can't enter because they don't use expensive brands.

I really hope everyone has fun with this contest :)

ANYWHO, Keep an eye out for the contest video coming this week for all these and MORE details :)

Hard Candy Secret Stash Makeup Palette

Hey Guys! This is a little review/swatch blog entry on my new Hard Candy Secret Stash Makeup Palette -- TJ Maxx -- $4.99 (Hard Candy is a devision of Urban Decay and I believe I read somewhere that this used to retail for about $22 when it was available, which it is no longer available)

The Front of the palette. Soooo cute!!!

First "page" is 4 lip glosses. They are VERY sheer. SO sheer, in fact, that I couldn't even swatch them and pick up the color on my camera.

The 2nd "page" is 4 eyeshadows.Swatches...From L to R, Top to BottomThe 3rd "page" is a white mattifying powder and there is supposed to be a bronzer also but it shattered already :( Oh well.
