Between May 14-20, follow the mechanics of the contest ASAP and get the chance to win a 3-month beauty internship courtesy of Benefit Cosmetics PH and Fashion Intern PH! It started 2 days ago, hence this early post so if you want it get your big beauty butt moving over to Benefit Cosmetics at Greenbelt 5…but sit and read this contest primer with all the deets just for 5 minutes before doing so.

It all sounds very exciting especially for fresh grads still enjoying the summer heat! If I didn’t have my own makeup career going and weren’t such an old lady already I’d actually grab the opportunity and join this contest! Here are the terms and conditions and the prizes at stake.
PRIZES AT STAKE:
6 interns will be selected for pre-finals to:
Spend a 3-week immersion at Benefit (includes make-up training, sales and marketing, event planning).
To walk the runway in the launch of the new lip gloss collection, Box ‘O Powder (see photo above) on June.
2 interns will be selected and get a 3-month internship and freebies from Benefit.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
Applicants should be at least 18 years old and above
Fashion Intern PH and Benefit have the right to use and publish all submitted materials (sample, texts and photographs) under the companies’ discretion to promote the program, publicize the activities of Fashion Intern PH and Benefit, and etc.
It’s actually funny because it was mom who emailed me the details about this campaign. Say a few loving thank you words to your mom via this promo and get a chance to win a trip to the London Olympics this year! I saw the global TVC but I hadn’t heard about the P&G London Olympic promo till she did. Basically all you have to do is go to Facebook.com/thankyoumomPH and allow the app to get your FB info then give a short message to your mom (up to 200 characters) and upload a photo or video. Once you do, it will look like this.
I can’t find the exact page right now with the terms and conditions but I remember correctly while reading through it it said that of course it is encouraged that you already have a “Shengen” Visa in the event of winning this London Olympic promo, but if you don’t P&G grants that they will try their best (but don’t promise in case there are difficulties or delays) to acquire one for you in the event that you win and don’t have one.
Later on your entry will join the many entries that scroll on the Thank You Mom PH App page like so.
I think it’s a wonderful gesture to get all this love and gratitude on one page for all the moms who’ve been such bastions of love, strength, and hope in our lives. Even just the fact that you were brought into this world or raised up by them is something to warmly and generously thank your mother for. Go to this link to get started Facebook.com/thankyoumomPH If you haven’t watched the P&G Thank You Mom spot watch this video.

Thank you everyone for joining this lovely giveaway and showing support for the House of Flair venture which is such a lovely business. I’m so happy a pre-ordering service like them exists. I feel less detached from everything available in the U.S. now. Of course when one giveaway ends, another begins on this blog so keep your eyes peeled for the next one, ladies! Oh and if you haven’t followed @houseofflair on Twitter, even if you didn’t make it to this giveaway please do and spread the love .
Hope you had a wonderful Holy Week whether at home, abroad, or at the beach! The blessed three who each won a sample of Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation are…
Congratulations ladies, you each won a boxed, mini pump bottle sample of Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow foundation in your chosen shade as indicated in this giveaway post. I shall contact you also individually by email for your shipping details. If you’ve just read this post you may also email the details directly to me at probinsiyana(at)gmail(dot)com
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Open to Metro Manila residents only.
3 winners will be picked randomly from CHAMPAGNE, HONEY, and HAZELNUT comments.
Oho! I’ve got a whopper of a post for you, Ladies this time. This is a “sponsored” review in that the product set for review AND the giveaway prizes are provided by pre-ordering business, House of Flair. Thanks again, Suyen! We’ll have a little bit of words somewhere in the middle or towards the end on why House of Flair is such a great business initiative for women like us who love playing with cosmetics, but for now, I have to show and tell…just a little bit because I nearly squealed when Suyen emailed me wanting to sponsor this giveaway for all of you, because that hasn’t happened a lot yet on this site. I squeaked even louder when she mentioned what was preselected from her on-hand items for the giveaway and what I could choose to review. These Real Techniques Brushes only happen to be part of the actual affordable but pro brush range designed by one of the UK’s YouTube Pixiwoo sisters, Samantha Chapman who has had over 10 years of professional experience with MAC and more as a professional makeup artist. The Pixiwoo sisters, Sam and Nicola only happen to be somewhat like the Michelle Phan phenomenon but in the U.K. and with the difference being they’re truly professional makeup artists, when they say in a video that a product is “bloody good” women have been said to literally flee their homes to head for the nearest makeup counter to purchase it. When Suyen said I could review a set of these for myself in addition to the giveaway I nearly fell off my seat.
“My travel essentials provide everything you need to create flawless looks at home and away. Look pixel perfect even in harsh light. The brushes are made of ultra plush Taklon (synthetic fiber making it ideal for dry or wet products).” The set also comes with a Panoramic Case which functions as a dual carrier and stand and keeps brushes organized on your counter or on the go, I love this case thingy for retouches on set, I pull what brushes need from my gi-mongous pro kit put it into this velcro strapped roll and track the models I have to retouch with every take.
L-R: Multi Task Brush – For effortless application of powder, blush, and bronzer, Essential Foundation Brush – Build flawless custom coverage with liquid foundation or concealer, Domed Shadow Brush – Tapered design smoothly shades and defines eyes (but the Pixiwoos use this more often for concealer under the eyes).
Here’s a video tutorial of Samantha’s sister, Nicola doing smoky makeup on an Asian friend of theirs who looks quite Filipina actually (not quite sure if she is) which is why I picked this tutorial in addition to it being the latest one uploaded (and it also happens to be one of the few where they’re doing makeup on someone else). You may see some of the Real Techniques brushes I mentioned used here and you’ll see the other Real Techniques brushes that aren’t part of this set which might also get you interested in owning a few more. They’re currently available only in the U.S., and UK from the RealTechniques.com website if I’m not mistaken.
This travel essentials brush set has brushes with slightly shorter handles for easy transport. The other collections like the Core/Base Brush set and single brushes for purchase come with slightly longer handles for better control. Read more to get to the full post and giveaway mechanics!
This is it! I’m announcing the winner for my Blog’s 2nd Anniv Sweet Summer Retweet Giveaway, Drum roll, please…
Congratulations to JANICE MARJO CUEVAS aka @jongcute on Twitter and I apologize for this late announcement! You’ve won all the prizes included in the giveaway you joined at this link. JANICE, please DM me your shipping details on Twitter or email them to me at probinsiyana(at)gmail(dot)com and I will do my best to send the giveaway loot to you within this week. Janice won these prizes (not in visual order):
An important note, Ladies, I actually picked a different winner the first time but when I checked whether she had followed all instructions she missed retweeting the original contest tweet, so I had to sadly disqualify her entry and I will not disclose that name. Please remember it’s important to read steps thoroughly because I even noticed someone joined who wasn’t from the Philippines! I also noticed that a handful of those who joined hadn’t followed the instruction on Retweeting, some followed me on Twitter but didn’t Retweet the original message as instructed (proof is in my Twitter feed, under the official contest Tweet on March 5 it says “Retweets = 25″ and around 40 joined via comments, so am quite sorry but I had to do a second round of random selection to be fair to those who did all steps and choose another winner, and that winner is @jongcute, Congratulations dear! Please reply to me within 5 days or I shall have to select another winner.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS of THIS GIVEAWAY WERE:
Entry open to Philippine residents only.
One winner will be picked at random.
Blessmybag.com is the sole promoter of this competition
Competition closes on March 25, 2012, Sunday at the time 23:59
Winner will be notified within 5 days of the close of the competition. (SORRY BOUT THIS ONE, late…)
Last month I wrote to Benefit Cosmetics Philippines asking if I could host a Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Foundation Mini Sample giveaway on my blog before the official product release next week, but I wanted it to specifically be a giveaway with 3 different shades (light, medium, deep) to suit 3 beautifully unique BeneBabes! A few weeks later Benefit replied and said they’d send these samples over straightaway, and after a few days they did! Check the shades I’ve featured here and read the mechanics at the bottom to join and get a chance to win a sample of Benefit’s newest silky soft foundation in a closely appropriate shade. I really wish with all my heart I could giveaway full size bottles, but this is the best I could do for you guys for now, hope they still bring out smiles . By the way seeing that there is only one Benefit boutique in the Philippines at the moment, and that’s in Greenbelt 5, I’ve decided to make this first 3-shade giveaway open only to residents of Metro Manila, for now.
PRIZES FROM LEFT: Champagne, Honey, and Hazelnut.
I took the liberty of swatching a teeny-tiny drop of each on my arm to aid you in choosing the right shade in order to join. Champagne I’d say is the deepest of the “Light” group and has a yellow undertone, Honey is the lightest of the “Medium” group and is actually link a pinker, darker version of Champagne, and Hazelnut is 1 up from the deepest shade among all 9 shades. Here are the mechanics:
