Ok, so I’m getting in on this a little late, but better late than never, I guess. There is a Bloggy Carnival going on at Bloggy Giveaways.com.
Since this is my first giveaway ever, I’m going to stick with something near and dear to my heart…makeup! I will choose two winners. Each winner will have the option of choosing a Mary Kay lipstick or Mary Kay lip gloss. Once the winners have been announced, they can visit my Mary Kay website to see available colors in each and let me know which one (lipstick or lip gloss) and color they would like. I am not asking you to buy anything, and I will also cover the cost of shipping within the US and to Canada. Because I am posting this late in the week, I will wait to draw the winners until Sunday evening at 9:30PM EDT.
Continuing with the makeup theme, please leave me a comment about any makeup challenges you feel you have. I will compile a list and attempt to answer as many questions as possible in a post next week.
I would like to say also that while I will try to answer any questions that I can, there are always people out there who know more, and I do not profess to know everything there is to know on this subject (or any other for that matter :->). I am constantly learning and trying to improve myself in the calling I feel God has given me, but I am glad to help in any way that I can.
Having said that, please leave a comment. Good luck, and thanks for visiting!
woo hoo Count me in! I do have a question I’d love your opinion on — I have deep set eyes, what is the best application of eye color to bring out the eyes? Blessings.
Oh, count me in, too! I love a new lipgloss!
OH i love lip gloss!!! thanks for doing this giveaway.

I would love a new lipstick! My question….I have a baby and I never get enough sleep. I am sick of it showing on my face. What can I do to either get rid of the bags all together or hide them.
Thanks!
I would love some lip gloss. Thanks for doing the giveaway!

I am mounting a defense against the dark circles under my eyes.
I love me some lipgloss.

My makeup question involves eyelashes. Mine are so small/short that even with mascara on you can hardly see them. Any advise? Also, how do I make my eyes stand out behind my glasses? But not look like a tramp, of course.
I always have a hard time finding the correct foundation color. My face is a different color than my neck! By the way, love your blog design.
I would love any and all advice about hiding dark circles under your eyes. Even when my eyes aren’t puffy, it is always dark under my eyes by my nose!
Hey Dawn, I’m mid-40s and my problem is skin flaking (yuck, right??). I use moisturizer at least once daily, but that doesn’t seem to help :/. Oooo, and I also exfoliate…
Thanks for hosting something all us gals can use!
BTW, LOVE the scripture you used for your header :).

I would LOVE some Mary Kay lip gloss!!!! how fantastic! =o)
One of my biggest challenges is trying to get a good foundation that actually covers well but doesn’t look caked on!
I have really thin lips and feel any time I try to wear lipstick it just makes them look severe. Am I just picking the wrong colors? I usually just stick to gloss. Thanks!
My biggest makeup challenge is what products to use in what order. I have a boat load of stuff, but use only a fraction of it.
Mary Kay is the best!! Thanks!
I love lipstick or gloss! Nice giveaway. Thanks! My question is what color eyeliner best brings out eye color? My eyes are green. Thanks again!
I love MKay! How often should you exfoliate?? Is it different for differnet skin types? Enter me please!
I have trouble trying to find the best eye shadow colors that fit me.
My biggest make-up challenge is getting my make-up to stay on all day long. It can look good in the morning, but by mid-day, it can start to look like I haven’t done much of anything.
I would love to be entered in your giveaway.

I love Mary Kay make-up.
I actually have 2 questions….
1) Does Mary Kay have any products that are safe for my daughter with allergies…. she cannot use anything with tree nut or peanut oils.
2) Do they still make the green eyeshadow? I loved that and now I’m out!
I would love it if I won the lipgloss. I deal with the black circle under my eyes. ugh.
thanks for the chance.

My challenge is to keep the liptstick from bleeding, which is why I prefer lip gloss but I think lipstick would look better. I just don’t know how to keep liptstick looking nice.
age spots at 40…yuk..how to cover
The makeup challenge that I face pretty regularly is that I am still younger and get acne so when I try to cover them up with concealer it leaves a dry look around the blemishes, that really irritates me. Please count me in
daisyqueen33(at)hotmail(dot)com
Thanks for having a giveaway. The cream and sugar lip gloss looks great. Well, I always have a hard time w/ makeup. My face is either too oily or too dry, so then my foundation either to look shiny or look flaky.

This is a great giveaway. Thanks! My biggest challenge is finding cosmetics that are natural and free from all the chemicals and toxins that seem to be permeating everything these days. I just want to know that I am using safe products and it is so difficult to find them and actually have them work well. I would love to be entered in your giveaway.

My biggest challenge is that I wear glasses, so it seems pointless to wear eye makeup, as the glasses tend to overpower it. Are there any colors of shadow or liner that would show up well and look nice? Any tips would be very much appreciated. I would love a new lipgloss, so I’d love to win! Thank you for the chance.
Nice giveaway! I don’t think I have any makeup challenges at the moment.
My biggest makeup challenge are my squinty eyes, with thin eyelashes. (sigh)
I’d like to choose a new lipstick.
my challenge is finding a lipstick and blush shade that looks good on my skin tone!
My biggest problem with makeup is finding the right shade of foundation. It can be tricky.
Thanks for the chance to win!
It seems like I can never get a lipstick that looks good on me. They turn too pink or brown!
Thanks for the great giveaway! I am in search of a tinted moisturizer, so I don’t have to wear too much as we get into the warmer weather (here in FL!)

Oh i need some new lip gloss. My makeup problem is always with the dark circles under my eyes…what can i do?
LOVELY …. I am in.
I would like to have a lip gloss,please … 😉
Maryam(www.infoguide.wordpress.com)
I always, always, have dark spots under my eyes and red blobs all over my face
Doesn’t matter what I do with makeup.
Thanks for having this giveaway! I love lipgloss. My question is that as I am still younger I have acne and nothing I do seems to cover them up.
I love Mary Kay lipgloss!
I’m not a fussy person so my challenge is to figure out the minimum amount of make-up that I need. What is a simple make-up routine that even I could figure out?
It is hard for me to find my color in foundation…I am very light and they all seem to dark for me.
cara_ann54@hotmail.com
Hurray for lip color! My challenge is dark eyes, meaning the skin under them. It’s not from lack of sleep (not always, anyway…) but hereditary.
hellerfam(at)yahoo(dot)com
My challenge is keeping the eye liner on my top lids from getting in the crease of my brow.

Always love makeup ♥ My biggest makeup challenge is covering the blue color under my eyes. The skin is so thin you see the veins!
Sounds wonderful.
I already know what I’d pick — lipstick in Raisinberry. My biggest challenge is covering up my DARK purple undereye circles, but MK concealer is the best thing out there.
caivanofamily[at]earthlink[dot]net
I would agree that my biggest problem is the circles under my eyes. Thanks for a great giveaway – I need new MaryKay lipstick called Rose somethingorother!!
Oooh! So wonderful! Thank for the chance to win! I often have trouble finding the right shade of foundation!

I’d like to do more with my eyes without looking gawdy. I have small eyes and they are green. What shades or products should I use?
I fight with finding a foundation that won’t make my skin look flaky.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I am foundation challenged too.

My biggest challenge is wearing makeup at all. EVERY TIME I wear it I break out in pimples afterward. No matter how much I wash, cleanse, or whatever, I STILL BREAK OUT!
I’d love to enter. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t get eyeliner on. Tips?
A girl needs new makeup! Issue: Even blemish coverage. Any handy tips?

I have the dark circles under the eyes problem—but I have glasses –don’t like oily /greasy products under there.
I wish I had freckles! Sorry. I know you can’t help me with that!
Oh, I love lipgloss in the summer just to bum around!
Um…I can’t find any lipsticks that look good on me…or that stay on for more than 5 minutes….I would love to have pretty lips though.
Add me to the list of those trying to cover up under eye dark circles. Thanks for the chance to win!
I also have huge dark circles but I don’t know a thing about makeup. I don’t even own any makeup either.
samsakara@twcny.rr.com
How do you apply mascara properly? I always end up making a mess so I don’t wear it lol! Thanks for the chance.
I have the dark circles under the eyes–I had no idea so many women had the same problem! I’ve tried a lot of concealers but nothing really makes them “disappear.”
I also second Melissa’s question about what color of eyeshadow looks best with green eyes.
WHat a great giveaway!
Biggest makeup challenge – NO TIME! I just put on eyeliner and mascara and call it good, usually.
Plus I have allergies and am deathly afraid to try new skin products.
I have seen other people mention this which actually makes me feel better! My biggest issue by far is covering dark circles under my eyes! Thanks for the great giveaway. I love MK!
My biggest problem actually just got fixed. I had trouble with foundation but what has worked for me is MK tinted moisturizer with the mineral powder on top. Love it! Now I just need to find a lipstick I like.
My trouble is the shape of my eyes – they tilt downward. I’ve learned how to apply eyeshadow (when using multiple colors) so that my eyes don’t look droopy! (Make-up isn’t supposed to make you look tired.)
It could still be better, but I can’t find any advice for my eye shape.
My problem is finding mascara that doesn’t look clumpy! Is there such a thing?

I heart Mary Kay!
Make-up problems…nope don’t have any questions…but now I know where to turn when I do!

My challenge is finding under eye concealer that is the right color and right texture. Thank you for the great giveaway, I’d love to win! nw_wife(at)hotmail(dot)com
Count me in…. lipgloss for me.
daldak01@yahoo.ca
My biggest challenge isn’t really a make up thing…it’s acne…I’ve had it since I went into puberty and it never fully went away! Now here I am 34 and still break out!
I love Mary Kay. I have sensitive eyelids and can only wear Mar Kay eye shadow.
Thanks for the giveaway.
how awesome! thank you! please enter me.
my face is always shiny and i haven’t found anything to prevent it
Lip gloss sounds great…and by the way, your website is very cute!
A new lipstick would be a great win.My challenge are the dark shadows and puddiness under my eyes…how to cover or conceal.
I’d love the lipgloss. My problem is I try new products, and they aren’t what they’re cracked up to be, or they aren’t what’s right for my skin. My news blunder was buying an organic product…great for the skin, but it STINKS! Seems like I can never get it quite right!
I love Mary Kay Lipgloss!
I love the Mary Kay lipglosses! My SIL was a consultant but had to quit–I was getting products at cost from her as a ministry because I am a pastor’s wife–needless to say, I can’t afford MK right now, but what a fun giveaway! My makeup issues would have to be my combo skin–oily t-zone and random patches of dry.

i love lipgloss! how do you make eyes stand out behind glasses?

I love Mary Kay lip gloss! My skin is very dry and powder makes my skin look flaky, but I really don’t like the liquid foundation (my husband thinks it looks “plastic”.
Thanks!
I used to wear nothing but Mary Kay lip products…I loved em’.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I love MK lipsticks and lipglosses!
Count me in please
i love lipglosses so this is such a great giveaway! Thank u!
It just so happens that lip gloss is my makeup drama at the moment. I’ve bought at least 4 tubes trying to achieve that fresh, un-made-up look. It shouldn’t be so hard to look effortless! I guess the problem is that I, including my lips, am amazingly pale. So colors look different on me than they do on most people. I’ve even been to the clinique counter and I thought I found a winner, but then out of the store it didn’t look right. Anyway – another chance at good lip gloss would be nice. Thanks for the chance to win.
I have combination skin, so it’s hard to find a foundation that is right for me. Do you know of any good ones? Thanks so much!

Mary Kay is wonderful. I am 27, but I recently my skin has really gone downhill. I am a first year teacher, so that might have something to do with it. I currently only use face wash. I wear little makeup. There is so much out there, I just don’t know what to buy! I have a few frown forehead wrinkles above my temples and my skin looks dull. I have huge pores and still have a bit of acne sometimes. What should I use?
I LOVE Mary Kay Lipstick and Lip Glosses! They are my favorite!
My makeup question…what is the best way to apply mineral powder foundation without wasting so much!? (it always seems to be on the counter, on my clothes, everywhere!)
I confess…I’m an addict of lip moisturizers!
My biggest makeup challenge is eyeliner- I can never get it applied quite right! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I have never tried Mary Kay so this will be a great oppurtunity to try *U* so please enter me in your contest. My question is what is best for evryday wear, lipstick, or lipgloss, or both together, I need to find something that won’t dry my lips.. Thanks Lorie
My biggest problem with eye makeup is that it looks smudgey after a few hours. Thanks for the giveaway!
My biggest makeup problem is that I’m too lazy to wash my face before I go to bed at night. So, I just don’t wear makeup beyond lip gloss. How perfect!
Great giveaway! And I guess I have a makeup question… I’ve been having little pimples pop up just at my lip line and I was wondering if they could be caused by the long-wear lip color I’ve been using?
My biggest challenge right now is finding a concealer that won’t clog my pores and cause more pimples! My skin’s mad at the season change right now.
Thanks for the giveaway! I’m a lip gloss junkie so I’d love to win this! Thank you!
I’d love some new lip gloss:) I think my biggest makeup challenge is remembering/finding the time to put any on. Not that I do a great job when it is on, but something is better than nothing. I have a lot of trouble matching my skin to bottles and was hoping to get to go to a Mary Kay party last week for help with this, but it was cancelled. Thanks for doing this giveaway!

My biggest challenge is finding makeup in the summer months. I tend to sweat a lot (personally I think more than most people) and everything I put on runs off in no time at all.
Thanks for the chance to win!
My question is: What should I use to cover redness on my face that won’t look caked on? Thanks!
I always am unsure how to apply makeup to make me look my bestq
