Summer birthday giveaway

Posted by Halifax @ Sparkled Beauty

It's summer and someone's birthday is coming up, so I thought I would have a giveaway :) Nothing big, just some fun stuff to cheer things up.

I picked Annabelle this time, same reason I picked Gosh last time, as not all of you have access to the brand. We Canadians rave about Annabelle all the time, so here's a chance you can try it too.

So the prize:
- An empty Annabelle Custom quad
- 4 Custom quad shadows in pans: Sugar Dust, Chlorine (first row), Indigo Glow, Graffiti (second row)
- Holy Smoke Trio Eyeshadow, and
- Makeup Pro A21 Large Shader brush.

You gotta try the quad out, it's so fun. I have about 4-5 of them, all filled in of course. And Graffiti is one of the best shadows ever.

The rules:
You have to be a follower of this blog. International and new followers are welcome. I do check, so don't cheat!

Please leave a comment about Annabelle (your favorite products from them, what you want to try, etc.) or about this blog. I'll leave it open this time, but I love to hear from you, so please put some thoughts into it. Thanks.
Don't forget your email address if it is not visible in your profile.

Extra entries:
1. Post about the giveaway on your blog and leave the link to your post.
2. Follow me on twitter and RT using the green "retweet" button at the bottom of the post, or retweet my tweet about the giveaway. Please leave the direct link to your tweet (by clicking the timeline right below your tweet - it'll get you to the direct link).

The giveaway ends on Friday, August 13, 2010 at 11:59PM ADT (Atlantic Daylight Time). The winner will be randomly selected from all qualified entries (through random.org) and notified by Sunday, August 15. He/she will have 48 hours to get back to me with shipping information, or a new winner will be selected.

The prize is partly sponsored by Annabelle and I'll ship it out myself. I will have proof of mailing the package but will not be responsible if the prize is lost in transit. I hope you understand.

Just to clear things up, I am not doing this to gain followers, as I already gave up on Google Analytics long time ago. I appreciate your readership and want to share the love of makeup with you. Here's to a fun summer!

    I have never tried Annebell but it looks really good. Is it expensive? Does the quality compare to high end brands?

    Good luck everyone xxx

  2. Hey doll! Happy follower of your blog :] Please enter me. I haven't had the opportunity to try Annabelle :/ I have been wanting to try Annabelle FOREVER now though based off of all of these fabulous reviews on blogs! Graffiti looks A M A Z I N G! I adore your blog, its very organized, easy to navigate, helpful and you always include great pictures! Very interactive with readers too, for example you are always asking for their input and so forth.

    Good luck to everyone and thank you for the wonderful opportunity! ♥ Best wishes*

  3. My favourite Annabelle product is their single eyeshadows! The price is unbeatable, especially on sale and or with coupon! *wink* haha. They fit into MAC palettes (bonus!) and the texture and colour payoff surpasses most drugstore (and some high end) eyeshadows! I would love to try the trios and other single shadows that I do not own =)

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  8. I loooove Annabelle cosmetics! Or atleast their eyeshadows because that's all I've ever tried from them. I love Helium & Pinked mono e/s. They are gorgeous and easy to wear! I've never seen Graffiti but from your picture it looks like it has glitter as opposed to Ebony which is a matte black. I want it BAD!
    I like that Shopper's always has sales on Annabelle products but the regular prices are very reasonable. I need to try some of their brushes too.

  10. Hi hun!

    I guess my favorite product from Annabelle is their Smudgeliner pencil, I've got one in Rich Chocolate and I'm bummed that I didn't pick up more shades when we lived in Vancouver. No Annabelle for me now!

    I love your nail polish posts :) xxx

  11. I've been following your blog for a little while and it's quite enticing to me - I have only heard from Anabelle before but mainly only about their brushes, this would be a perfect time to discover this brand and get a favorite or two :)

  14. I've only tried their black kohl eyeliner, which helped me quite a lot when I first started makeup. I would like to try their quad or trio eyeshadows.

  15. I think this is awesome of you to do! I think the Annabelle palettes look really interesting and cool, but unfortunately, being in the US means I don't have access to them. :/ Hope I win so I can check it out!

  24. I am a follower. I never heard of this brand before. Apparantly where I live they don't sell it here. That sucks. The eyeshadow colors look gorgeous and the case for the empty custom quad looks so pretty. I would really love to try out the eyeshadows. I just started to get into makeup a few months ago and I have been branching out, trying out different brands (mainly drugstore like Revlon, L'Oreal, and E.L.F). I could never afford the high-end brands like MAC and NARS. I would really love to try this brand through! :D

  43. OMG I can't believe I almost missed your giveaway! Where have I been living for the past weeks, I wonder?!
    Anyway, I'd la-la-love to participate please :)
    Of course I'm a follower. I've been wanting to try Annabelle for about a year now (that's when I first heard about it) but since it's sold only in Canada it's kind of impossible for me to get my grubby hands on any of their products ^_^ I'd love to make a quad with some easy to work with and wearable colors. Of course I could go to MAC and do the same but it wouldn't be a fun foreign brand hahaha :)
    I'm not on twitter and since I'm entering so late I don't want to "cheat" and claim for an extra entry so I'll stop at that.

  44. I have never tried anything by this brand.I have seen it on ebay a lot, and lots of bloggers rave about great pigmentation. I think i would love to try the eyeshadows, as i love eyeshadow. The colors look fantastic too!

  47. Hi, I just became a follower as I stumbled upon this give-away. I have never heard of this brand before, but I do like the fact that you have those boxes in which you can "collect" different colors of eyeshadow. That way, you're not stuck with a trio with just 2 good colors I normally have!
