Light of the Moon IDIOT Giveaway

It is another bitterly cold Minnesota morning, so I thought I might warm your heart with another giveaway.  Why?  Let me count the reasons.
  1. My first giveaway was painless and easy!
  2. Sunday saw my 100th post.
  3. Monday was my birthday.
  4. I'm an idiot. 
Wait....What?  Yep, you read #4 right.  Let me show you the prizes and everything will become clear (maybe).

Prize 1
  • Julep Pomegranate Body Scrub - This came in the wonderful Spring surprise box I just got.  I'm just not a "body scrub girl".  I want in and out of the shower as quick as possible and this would just languish in my bathroom, so I'm finding it an appreciative home.
  • StrangeBeautiful Dose Lacquer - IDIOT for not reading descriptions close enough.  I saw these on Beautylish.  Pill shaped polish bottles?  How could I resist.  They were decently priced (I thought) for three colors, especially when I used my $10 credit.  Then the package arrived.  WTF?  I guess I didn't read the description close enough.  These are adorable, but miniscule.  I mean, I love minis, but I think each bottle would last through 2...maybe 3 manis'.  If I had the polish space I want, these would go in a place of honor as a display....little pills for my polish addiction....but sadly, there is no such thing now, so I thought someone else might enjoy them as much as I wish I could.  There is a nice creme purple, a gorgeous dusty purple and a deep red. 

 Prize 2
  • Contrary Polish Better Together - IDIOT for not realizing I already had this in my cart!  This is a blue leaning grey loaded with turquoises glitter.  During my last Llarowe restock rush, I was desperate to get every single one of the Contrary Polish Love Lyrics Spring 2013 collection.  I had missed out on them a couple times already.  In my self induced panic, I added two of these beauties to my cart without realizing.  I swear I double checked my cart (because I have done this before, IDIOT) and thought there might have been a mistake when I received the package....nope, there it is on the invoice....quantity 2.  My IDIOT, your WIN.
  • Duri Gossip Exclusive - Almost dupe IDIOT.  I have been wanting to add a Duri to my stash and did so in a cart complete for free shipping.  What I didn't realize was that it is very similar to Contrary Polish Mystery, which I just happened to be swatching on my polishicles at the same time.  I looked at these moody browns and decided I didn't really need them both.  Mystery won the chance to stay.  Gossip is really lovely and barely lost out.  It is a plumish brown with a pinkish silver shimmer.  It has been swatched on one "nail" from a polish wheel.
  • Zoya Kate - Stash duplicate IDIOT.  This was another one of those "Okay, I need one more polish for free shipping, what do I want?" moments.  It was in my wishlist on Pinterest, but not on the site.  Did I already have this in my stash?  I'll keep looking to see if I want something else more and check my stash before purchase.  Yeah right.  Of course it is already in my stash.  I swear I switched this out for something else before I confirmed purchase, but I guess I didn't.  I gotta stop filling polish carts late at night.  Another win for you!

So, is it clear now?  The question is, why did I go to all this trouble to prove what an IDIOT I am?  Just to entertain you, of course! 

Enter the giveaway through Rafflecopter below.  I only ship to US addresses (sorry to my international followers).  Must be 18 or older to enter.  Full rules under the Terms & Conditions.

See you a little later with day 2 of the Tri-Polish Challenge.  Good luck!

  1. I have definitely had my own memory lapses. There are a few polishes I have obtained 3 or 4 times (ouch)- just shows I love the color though! Haha! :P I'd love either prize!! -Olivia F.

  3. I don't have too many memory lapses. I wanted to hide a necklace so I hid it and then it took me a year to figure out where I'd hidden it. That doesn't happen too often. And if you tell me something, there's a 90% chance I'll never forget it. I was visiting family with my kids over spring break last week and I asked why one of my cousins hadn't come over. My mom said, "The baby was sick." I said, "No, Caitlyn was there." She said, "No, the new baby." I said, "You didn't tell me she had the baby!" She said, "Yes, I did! I told you when she was born two weeks ago. She named her Destiny." I said, "Now I know for certain that you didn't tell me because I can guarantee I'd have remembered a name like Destiny!"

    And I like prize 1--love the colors of those two polishes. :-)

  4. I would love the pampering prize! And yes, my memory is horrible hahaha, but chances are, if I purchase the same polish a second time, I really like the polish, so I just save it as my backup :P

  5. Haha, you're not an idiot at all, just...enthusiastic! ^_^

    Hope you had a fantastic birthday, Tina! ♥

  6. I think most peeps have that moment when they love something so much they buy 2 by oops! LOL I get annoyed with myself when I do this, so I made a lil catalog out of note cards that all my polishes go into. I take it with me when I go polish shopping & keep it handy when I go shopping online. I add new polishes right after I polishicle swatch them. (it's all YOUR fault I do this too! LOL)

    #2 would be lovely as I don't have any of them...I think...maybe I should check lol <3

  7. I would love prize #2. I think that was the one, can't remember.... LOL
    MY memory is just awful. It used to be great but guess I am just getting older.........
    I finally made myself a stash list doc so that I always have it on me. I have 500+ polishes so I have bought some I already have but suprisingly only a few times. I cant remember all I have but once I have one in my hand and look at it, I know if I have it or not. Well, usually :P

  13. Ugh, my memory is horrible since I had a baby. Thankfully I haven't yet purchased the same nail polish twice, but I'm sure it will happen.

    I'd love either prize, but I'm kind of leaning towards #2 because Kate is my name!

    ReplyDelete

  18. My memory is awful. I tell my kids that the files are getting full and something has to be big for it to find a spot to stay. I love those little pill bottles! <3

  19. My memory is pretty bad lately, but I blame my pregnancy! LOL
    As for polish, somehow I am so obsessed that I know every color I have!!!!!

The prize with the 3 dupes....I'm not much of a body scrub girl..I have sensitive skin...it will be good for someone who self tans tho....and yes I've gotten polishes home only to realize I have the same one, or one that's almost identical to it! LoL did it the other day with the new revlon chromes..I got tge darker blue home only to realize it looks like a china glaze duo chrome I already have.

  23. I have a great memory when it comes to totally useless stuff. Otherwise, my memory sucks.

    I'd love Prize 2!

    ReplyDelete
  24. My memory is shot unless it's useless trivia stuff. I have bought polish that I already had. I would like Prize 2.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Umm, what was the question again? I have a horrible memory, unless it comes to polish. It's rare for me to buy a dupe but my stash is pretty small compared to others. I love those little dose polishes, that is so cute!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Short-term memory is horrible, always have post it notes around ;p
    Would love prize #2 but either would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    ReplyDelete

  30. I have no long term memory! It really suck sometimes, but for polish, if I cant remember if I had a polish or not, I just dont buy any :( Thats why I need to get google docs on my phone! :)

    I would love prize number two btw,

    Thanks for the chance to win them!

  31. I don't have a very good memory, except when buying things. I don't think I've ever (knock on wood) duplicated a purchase of any sort, and for sure no polish duplicate purchases.

    Thanks for the giveaway!
