Pür Minerals Inspire, Reflect, Celebrate Eye Shadow Palette Giveaway Contest

Congratulations to Leigh, #1! She won this lovely palette!

This 15-shadow palette from Pür Minerals could be yours - if you win this giveaway contest!

The eye shadows, with a how-to guide for creating variations of each look (Inspire, Reflect, and Celebrate), include shimmering and matte shades, all of which blend together beautifully.

Pür Minerals pioneered a performance-based line of color cosmetics and skin-care treatments designed for optimal skin fitness and health. Their pressed mineral color formulations are specially engineered with good-for-your-skin ingredients that not only offer exceptional coverage, but also nourish and condition the skin for a healthy radiance.

Pür Minerals eye shadows are gentle and suitable for sensitive eyes. They are free of fragrance, alcohol, talc, fillers, petroleum-based oils, and chemical dyes. Filled with pure pigments, each mineral eye shadow in the palette will provide long-lasting wear to give you luminous eyes this fall.

The shades in the palette range from cool to warm - there's something for everyone. I purchased one for you and one for me. Think about all the looks you can create with this range of shades (shown above).

How can you enter to win this palette? Just leave a comment here once. After you comment, feel free to e-mail bestthingsinbeautycontests@gmail.com and identify your comment. You can never be too careful about sharing your e-mail address on a blog, so I would follow this second step if I were you (an alternative is to code your e-mail, e.g., myname at gmail dot com, in your comment).

You can "earn" a second entry by tweeting this contest. Just make sure to include "@BTiBeauty" (without the quotes) in your tweet. I will tweet the contest in a few hours, and you can simply retweet it to earn that second entry.

The deadline for entries will be Saturday, September 11, at midnight. The next morning, I will use a random number generator (random.org) to select the winner. I will e-mail the winner at that time. The winner will have 48 hours to reply to my message and provide a shipping address. After 48 hours, the prize will be forfeited, and another winner will be selected.

This contest is open to anyone anywhere. Here are the terms. I will carefully pack and ship the prize (as I always do). I cannot insure it - it's amazingly expensive to do so. If it's lost or stolen in transit, I won't be able to replace it with another palette. We'll see how this works. My shipping issues have occurred when I've shipped overseas - the packages to the U.S. and Canada always arrive without incident. I'll do my best on this end; let's see if your mail services do right by you on the other end if we have an overseas winner.

Good Luck!
