Summer Beauty Closet Cleaning *Contest*
What did I do this holiday weekend? I spent part of it cleaning out the beauty closet! It was a tough job but someone had to do it and who benefits most? You. We are way overdue for a contest so we attacked the beaut closet and came out with some real good goodies for you, our readers.
Who? We will randomly pick 7, that's seven, winners.
What will you win? Some of the brands are listed below and in the pic. Believe me, you won't be disappointed as you'll receive a nice assortment. Some are full sizes and some are samples but anyway you look at it, it's free for you.
(click on pic to see larger) bourjois, md skincare, philosophy, clinique, streekers, cargo, hamadi, haute face, carol's daughter, yu be, zia, dermalogica, sonia kashuk, dentaburst, l'occitane, urban decay, solerra, too faced, chanel, demeter, color on, kiss, duwop, sonya dakar, raw skin care, sisley, korres, murad, cover girl, juice beauty, l'oreal
How to enter? Post a meaningful comment on a Cybelesays post (something a little more than, "I love this color!" or "How cute!" I think you get the picture). Then, email your full name and address to Cybelesays (cybelesayscontest@gmail.com or click here).
Don't forget to let us know how you found Cybelesays.com if you are a new reader!
Wanna get more than one entry? If you have a blog, simply blog about the contest, email the link to cybelesayscontest@gmail.com or click here and you'll receive an extra entry. You must also comment on a post and email your full contact info.
GOOD LUCK! GOOD LUCK! GOOD LUCK! GOOD LUCK! GOOD LUCK!
** Enties must be received by 6pm PST, July 21, 2008 * Entries are two part - a comment on a post and an email, which includes your full name and mailing address * Both must be completed or you will not be entered into this randomly picked drawing * By entering, you agree to be added to the mailing list, if you are not already on it * Those who have won a Cybelesays contest in the last 3 contests will not be elegible to win * One entry per household and email address unless the contest is blogged about**
Made that other comment on the wrong post! I need to clear out my beauty closet, as well. There is no telling what I might find. :)
Thanks for such a great contest!

What an awesome collection you've accumulated. I'm sure there is so much more that doesn't fit in the picture! You must have been at it all weekend. Thanks for thinking of donating to us!

Dermalogica and clinique for me!

I am new to Cybelesays.com. I have a Google update for "kissing contests" because I am running a cancer research fundraiser in February. So far Cybelesays.com has been the best search result. Just thought I'd let you know. Thanks for a great contest.

I love contests and your blog is so great about fulfilling the prizes! Thank you!

On this part of the world, the stuff you don't need form part of another person's treasure. That person would be me. And it would be totally exciting if i could also pass it on to some of my friends and/or lucky readers.
*Here's to my prayer that i win*

This is my first visit to Cybelesays.com, I am always on the lookout for great blogs and this is now one of my favourites!

My daughter says I need all the help I can get. Some of my makeup is 10 years old. I am never sure what products to buy and don’t have the time to figure this out. These products would help me decide. My friend suggested I try your website for ideas and I think she is right. Thanks.

I am also new to CybeleSays.com. I love the product reviews, especially the hair products for our humid summers. This is a great closet clean-up. What an amazing array of products. Love this.

Hi - since we've gotten such a great reponse to this contest, I'll have to make it a quarterly happening on the site - each season, we will clean out the closet!!
I just can't wait to put the packages together! Good luck and I hope to pick you all.
Posted by: Cybele | Wednesday, July 09, 2008 at 01:32 PM
I have never visited this site before so glad I found it. So many great products. Thanks for posting a great contest.
Posted by: Leslie Sil | Wednesday, July 09, 2008 at 03:35 PM
I guess you could call me a beauty product junky. I always love trying new things, and this looks like a great giveaway that would help me in my addiction! Thanks for such a great contest!
Posted by: Athena D. | Wednesday, July 09, 2008 at 04:48 PM
I love that you cleaned out your "closet". What a great idea! I need so much help, it's not funny! I am just turning 37 on July 10th and it would be a great birthday present to win something that would make me look great as well. Thanks for the contest!
Posted by: Margaret Snyder | Wednesday, July 09, 2008 at 04:50 PM
Cleaning out the closet. Heh. I do that about once every 10 years. Glad to see yours actually has something worthwhile in it.
Posted by: JORDAN | Wednesday, July 09, 2008 at 06:37 PM
I forgot to mention! I just found your site the other day. My friend linked me too it. I had found some Sephora sugarcubes & I was talking about them & she linked me over.
Posted by: JORDAN | Wednesday, July 09, 2008 at 06:39 PM
I'm excited to have the chance to win some awesome beauty products! I've been wanting to try out some new stuff and clean out my closet as well!
Posted by: Shannon Generazzo | Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 03:20 PM
I would love these to give to my girlfriend! She would be so excited, she loves trying new makeup and I wouldn't know where to begin looking to buy her some! These all sound great!
Posted by: Evan Widtfeldt | Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 03:30 PM
i would be crazy happy to win this contest; what woman doesnt love skincare and beauty products and it looks like there is quite a selection; trying different products and sharing your knowledge with others is also a fun thing to do
Posted by: judy folk | Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 04:25 PM
Wow, you have a lot of great products! It's nice to know that you're giving others the opportunity to experience these treats. Thank you.
Posted by: Laddie | Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 08:50 AM
Glad I'm not the only one who sees holiday weekend = clean out a closet! I just reorganized my own stash into clear totes and some of them are looking mighty empty...and who doesn't love free beauty products to play with! Great contest.
Posted by: Colleen N. | Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 10:45 AM
What an amazing assortment of products. I never heard of a lot of the products names before and would love the chance to try them out. Thanks for offering everyone a chance at winning some fun stuff to try.
Posted by: Shilo Beedy | Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 01:23 PM
Your site is great! I love it when I can find info on more than one subject in one place!
Posted by: Teresa Hoyt | Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 03:54 PM
This is the first time I found your site at a sweepstakes site, but I really think you have an interesting place here and I will be back.
I agree going short with the articles gives you a great niche--especially when you want to direct information with bogging yourself down. Direct is good! Also, I am a beauty junkie myself so please count me in our your great giveaway. I love testing new products out and would love winning!
Posted by: Mary | Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 04:42 PM
wow ! i sure could use a little pampering :) some nice "goodies" thanx :)
Posted by: Claudia M | Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 05:36 PM
This contest sounds great! And your blog was fun to read!
Posted by: D | Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 06:57 PM
I have been reading the site for years, even back in the old days when the reviews came out once a month. Love the short and to the point style.
Posted by: LKG | Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 07:37 PM
I am new here too. I found you at Sweepsadvantage.com. I enjoy entering sweepstakes especially for beauty items or things to pamper myself. It is great when you can try something for free.
Posted by: Kristie Noguera | Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 09:52 PM
wow!!! this is some nice goodies i wanna try them all...lipgloss, fragrance is perfect for me so i like it.
Posted by: SHERLINE | Sunday, July 13, 2008 at 12:34 AM
I did not see my favorite all-time cleanser in there, did I? Purity Made Simple! And you are giving it away???
Great contest, Cybele!
Posted by: Teri | Sunday, July 13, 2008 at 07:34 AM
We are raising sunscreen awareness at www.missmelanoma.com and I went through different beauty blogs and found yours! It's a blog I will be reading from now on.
Posted by: Kat | Sunday, July 13, 2008 at 09:39 AM
Just found your site-enjoy the product reviews!
Great Giveaway!
Posted by: Elaine | Sunday, July 13, 2008 at 09:59 AM
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed your 4-part series on shea butter. I love, love shea butter and I learned so much from your series. Thanks for the opportunity to win this contest. Keep up the great blog!
Posted by: Christi | Sunday, July 13, 2008 at 01:30 PM
Great collection and awesome contest! I would love to win this and try all the fab products! Thank you for the chance :)
Posted by: bunny | Sunday, July 13, 2008 at 07:12 PM
Reading this has inspired me to clean out my own beauty supplies! It's great because I found some products that I totally forgot I even owned! Great way to get some "new" looks without having to shell out money to buy new products.
Posted by: Lisa | Sunday, July 13, 2008 at 07:20 PM
I am new here-found your site through Beautiful Makeup. I have become a beauty blog junkie because it saves me tons of money! I live in the Midwest and only get a chance to visit Sephora and large department stores when I travel so I am deeply grateful to all of you for testing products and letting us know which ones are worth buying. So now I can buy online with confidence :) thanks again for all your reviews-can't wait to work my way through them!
Posted by: Keri | Monday, July 14, 2008 at 01:24 PM
this contest sounds great, as a young student i don't always have the means to purchase all of the great beauty products i'd like to try out, so winning this would be fantastic :]]
Posted by: molly grace | Monday, July 14, 2008 at 11:17 PM
I am a certified beauty blog junkie! Every day I search blogs to find the latest must have products. My philosphy is " a girl can never never have to much makeup" Really like your blog and have marked it on my daily to look at list.
Posted by: Regina Sanders | Tuesday, July 15, 2008 at 08:50 AM
I'm totally needing this: my ego, my wellbeing, my appearance- list is potentially endless. I began surfing skincare sites this year in an ever passionate attempt to find good, and good for me, products for an aging me. I've always 'cared' for my skin. But now in my 50s I feel a desire to care for all of me. I lost weight (almost a size 10 from a full 16)- and woke a sleeping Vanity (one my husband shudders from with dollar signs chasing his sleep, I'm sure). Ever a late bloomer, I am famished for Beauty. The possibility of winning here … no words, but trust in my gratitude. -Julie
Posted by: Julie Kay | Tuesday, July 15, 2008 at 10:17 AM
I found Cybele in the rebirth of my feminity (altho Ive always taken care of my skin). It bears roots in two major life events- weight loss (a packed size 16 to almost a 10) and my skin proving to me its needs have changed now I'm in my 50s. Of course nothing being simple, these events together triggered a sleeping Vanity that is quite alive and well. AND demanding her due! A true revelation indeed. My husband cringes, trying to protect his wallet. I try to be good and stick to dreaming. My wishlist is quite long. Just a thought of winning … Thank you for doing this and congrats to the winners! I think this rocks. -Julie

It looks like you came up with lots of goodies!! Makeup is one of those things I use everyday, and always have to replace!! I'm always trying different colors, shades, and brands, hunting for the perfect lipstick, eye shadow, etc. I'd love to win an assortment of makeup, I bet I'd fall in love with many of the items and they would end up on my future purchase list, (and I actually have a list where I jot down the brand and color of a lipstick I want, or a cream that I hear is awesome).
Posted by: tangie c | Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 09:52 AM
i found cybele through splendicity blog roll and must say enjoy reading everyday. i myself have just done some beauty closet cleaning and now have lots of room for new stash . this contest is a great way of passing on or recycling beauty products . would luv to win.

Hi, just found your great! site thru BeautyBanter's blog...thanks for the contest!
Posted by: Dmd408 | Wednesday, July 16, 2008 at 12:04 PM
Hi, this is my first visit to CybeleSays and I got here by surfing the beauty blogs, the last one being "Aging Fabulous." That is my primary goal too..to age fabulous...lol. Now, I am just trying to find out from the beauty blogs which products you girls like best, especially facial products like moisturizer's, anti-aging, etc. I am particularly interested in which products work the best for skin brightening? I am 43 and just recently developed a small brown spot on my cheek. Luckily it's not too dark but I notice it. Obviously it's from laying out in the sun all these years and living in Florida too. There are so many products that it becomes confusing. I would love to know what works the best. Thanks so much for your giveaway. It would be a treat to win! Kristi

This is my first visit to your site. I first found out about this site through Beauty Banter. I saw the photos of those products and they all look simply fabulous. It is incredibly generous of you to give away so many good products. I am a young student who actually just cleaned out her beauty supplies. I've been searching on all of the blogs for new product to try out and it's like yours read my mind! It'd be such a treat to start with some new loot!!!
Regards,
Tess H.

I just came across your site from a post that sveyourmoneymama.blogspot.com did, and I think this is a great site. There are so many beauty things out there that I have a hard time knowing what is good and what isn't. I love reading other people's opinions on them. I think the contest is great too, because it would give me a lot of new things to try. I tend to get stuck in a rut, and this would teach me to branch out a bit. :) Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.
