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.

50 GFC Follower Giveaway

I had every intention of posting this as soon as I arrived home, but my hubby met me at the door and told me to change clothes, we were going out, just the two of us.  I think the last time we went out to dinner alone was probably our anniversary, 6 months ago.  Sad, isn't it.  It's not like we need a babysitter anymore, we are just busy and like to take the kids with us when we do go out.  But not tonight!  Happy Valentines Day!  Not only did we go out, we went for sushi, which isn't my hubbies favorite, but is mine.  AND there was a box of chocolates waiting too!  What a sweetheart!

So now it is almost 11:00 and I am just getting this up.  The long awaited (by me at least) giveaway is here!

There are THREE prizes in this giveaway!

The first prize is a set of 4 full sized Sephora/Pantone Universe Color of the Year Collection.  These are all tangerine tones, including one glitter.  The colors are Tangerine Tango Shimmer, Tangerine Tango Matte, Tangerine Tango Creme and Tangerine Tango Glitter.  Lovely!

The second prize is two sets of MINIS and one single mini.  The OPI set includes Last Minute Shopper, Skip the Gift Wrap, Gift Cards for Everyone and Rapidry Top Coat in 3.75 mL bottles.  The Orly set includes Preamp, Decoded, Shockwave and Synchro (remember I told you yesterday that you could win this color!) in 5.3 mL bottles.  The single little China Glaze is Ruby Pumps in a 3.6 mL bottle.  So cute!

The third prize is two full sized China Glaze in Cast a Spell and Fast Track.  I have a funny story about these two.  I had purchased these two colors from a blog sale and then forgot about them.  While they were in the mail, I found the same colors on sale at Sally's at a great price and picked them up, along with a couple others.  When the nail mail came, I had to laugh (picture me smacking myself in the forehead at the same time).  These, of course, are the new ones, not the blog sale polish.  Also included is a little mini pedi kit containing a small nail file, tweezers, nail clippers and a toe separator.

Rules are as follows:
You must be 18+ years of age to enter, unless you have parent or guardians’ permission.
This giveaway is only open to addresses in the contiguous USA.
This giveaway is not connected to Facebook in any shape or form.
Winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email.  If no response within 48 hours, another winner will be chosen.
Ends February 27th, 2013.
Please allow 2 – 4 weeks to ship.  Not responsible for damaged or lost mail.

Good luck all!

50 Followers?

I have almost reached 50 followers!  I can't believe it!  Thanks to all you who read my babblings and look at my "art".  I anticipate doing a giveaway shortly after I reach 50 followers.  I have been collecting things and am excited to provide the chance to win some goodies, if I can just figure out the whole rafflecopter thing.

I also am looking for some feedback as to how to improve so I may ask you, my beloved readers, a few questions over the next few weeks.  Right now I am looking to get a "second opinion" about my pics.  Just a couple questions.  Do you like the flash/no flash swatches with my base coat colors?  Do I crop my photos too tightly?  Do I make them to big on the blog?  Do I provide too many pics?  Not enough?  Are they of good quality?  I look at these pics so much when taking, editing and posting, that I feel like I lose my objectivity.  In my opinion, the quality of my pics is more important than anything I ever actually say about them. 

Your feedback is greatly appreciated!
