This is perfect; a New Year's Day present! I've always been anti-establishment, while also remaining extremely ... I'm Aquarius, what more can I say. Cybele, I live for PRODUCTS! Unfortunately my SO doesn't work for my habit, so I have to "yearn" much of the time. Your closet cleanup is my dream-come-true. I'm patiently waiting for year's end and your decision. Happy New Year!!! =) ~Juls

This is SUCH a fabulous contest. I can't wait to blog about it!
Thanks, Cybele!

Oh, what fun. A closet clean-up. Mine are never as good as yours look. I see a Jergens Shea Butter Cream - luxurious! 60 second nail polish - what could be better! I love when you guys clean house. This would be perfect! Thanks for the chance to enter!

I have only been reading your blog a short time, but the info you post is really helpful and I look forward to starting out the new year with a better handle on make up!
And of course, how cool would it be to win some goodies!!
Posted by: Inky | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 01:10 PM
WOW What a huge mountain of goodness! There a loads of cool looking products in there, some from lines I have only read about. Thanks for cleaning out your closet Cybele! Fingers crossed for good luck :)

I love your cleaning out the closets contest. I'd love to win something that I haven't tried before, and you have quite the stash!
Posted by: Decorative Diva | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 01:14 PM
You're right, playing with products is the best. Would love to win this!
Posted by: Janet | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 01:15 PM
I've just started using make-up, so these products would be great to help me figure out what works for me!
Posted by: Roxy | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 01:18 PM
how generous in the holiday season--thanks so much for offering this to your readers!
keep up the good work!

Oh oh!! I see Benefit and holey moley would it *Benefit* me to win this!
My cosmetics closet looks pretty barren right now and just when I need it; for the New Years festivities!
Wonderful giveaway; thanks so much!

I found Cybelesays through a friend that blogs. I think this is such a fun contest. I did some cleaning out of closets of my own before Thanksgiving. It was time, and company was coming. The recipient of my unused but good stash was the local non profit thrift store. Thanks so much for cleaning out your closet and sharing it with us!!
Posted by: Susan Gustafson | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 01:32 PM
Greetings! What a wonderfully generous way for you to clean out your beauty closet. Sephora, Estee Lauder, Clinique, Philosophy, etc. How fun!
I am always experimenting with beauty items to see what works best for me. Whether it is facial care, color or anti-aging. One thing that sometimes hinders me is a rather large port win birthmark on the left side of my face! Covering it well is not easy. I adore beauty products, though! I would appreciate being entered in your delightful giveaway prize drawing. Many thanks, Cindi

This is a great opportunity for those of us who like looking good, but don't know where to start in regards to make-up but would like products nicer than what Walgreens has. I am extremely pale with the exception of my pink blotches and freckles and I am clueless regarding most makeup starting with foundation. Thanks for this chance to possibly win and try a few things!!!!
Posted by: Renee C. | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 01:43 PM
THanks, i love to play with new products. This would be so much fun to win.
Posted by: tiffany lane | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 01:50 PM
I just started my journey with serious makeup so I'd love to have some of the products you are giving away. Crossing my fingers. Thanks
Posted by: Halifax | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 02:01 PM
I have two teenaged granddaughters and we seem to share info and ideas quite a lot. No doubt I'd share this goody bag with them if I won since I'm still on the lookout for good products for myself as well.
Posted by: Aisling | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 02:12 PM
wow! you are amazing!!
as a make-up junkie, i find it hard to part with anything. you have to tell me where you get the willpower. thanks for the opportunity to win some of my fav things, and happy holidays to you and yours.
Posted by: sally wess | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 02:21 PM
Ok I think that is super cool to clean out your make-up and give it away! I've been going through stuff I don't use and trying to decide what to giveaway and donate for the holidays!
I never even thought about old make up!! What a great idea! I hope I win!!
THanks for the awesome contest!
Posted by: Leah | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 02:23 PM
I would be reluctant to give up any of my products... especially if its good branch. You are you generous, a wonderful gift to start out the new year :)

The New Year should start off with a 'clean slate'. Thanks for holding this freebie giveaway. Have a great holiday!

Posted by: Casey B | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 03:16 PM
Wow - what a cool assortment of beauty products - I love those brands! You're very generous, I'd probably keep them for myself : )
Posted by: JenniferR | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 03:33 PM
WOW I think i just dreamed about Santa sending me a massage saying I have a chance to win wonderful make-up! This would be just lovely since these days as much as I want to go for some make-up shopping I have to save money :( this would put me in real holiday spirit!
Posted by: pouneh | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 03:42 PM
Wow! Ever since I stumbled onto this site, I have been a devoted reader. Your insight into beauty products has taught some great tips and saved me some money at the cosmetic counters already. This contest you're running to clean out the closet would be so much fun to play with. I see some brands I'm familar with but there are lots of others that I would love experimenting with. I'm the palest beige skin and never seem to buy the right foundation--either I'm too pale or too dark. Another thing is finding the right concealer that covers allergic shiners. I need help with this one, guys. If you know of any great product but not super expensive, I would like to know. Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas!!!
Posted by: Mary | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 03:45 PM
Looking at the picture alone, I already see more than a dozen items I covet -- what a fantastic giveaway!
Posted by: kathemc | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 04:10 PM
you can clean your closet my way!
Posted by: Carla | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 04:22 PM
woo hoo..aren't i glad i checked my email! :) thanks for the offering..
Posted by: reeva | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 04:47 PM
Thanks for doing this! There are some very interesting looking products in your stash. You've inspired me to start out the new year with a good purge as well. I'm going to donate my unused but new products to my local Battered Women's Center and clear some space for actual linens in my linen closet, lol!
Posted by: Robin | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 04:53 PM
I just started reading this blog but it's quickly becoming a must read. I learn something new every visit. Mostly products I hadn't seen before. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Posted by: Megan | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 05:06 PM
Your collection is envious. You get to try all of these products and give us the scoop on the best ones and then you are nice enough to share! Love being a part CybeleSays.
Posted by: Gayle | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 05:17 PM
Thanks for such a great contest!! That beauty loot picture looks great. There would be so many products I'd love to try. :)
Posted by: Cindy | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 05:23 PM
Ooooh! So many goodies! I wish I had a beauty closet that looked like that, I'd be in heaven!
Posted by: Deanna | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 05:47 PM
I'm hoping that some, if not most, of the items are hair care products. I can't afford to try expensive things. Plus with curly hair, I'm skeptical about every product since I haven't been able to find anything to tame my frizz.
Posted by: MFJ | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 05:57 PM
WOW! What a fantastic giveaway. I need to do some restocking of my beauty closet too. I have my fingers crossed that this will become mine!
Posted by: Jackie B. | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 06:45 PM
Need a new look and smell for the new year. Basically I need the hook-up!!!! Happy Holidays to you and maybe me if I win
Posted by: joan olson | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 07:11 PM
What a huge generous gift someone will receive and I bet you will feel great cleaning out your stash!! and it will give the lucky winner to try out some new products for the New Year!!
Posted by: Barbie | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 07:19 PM

Posted by: Amandaaa | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 08:15 PM
This contest is a great opportunity for winners to experiment with products they normally wouldn't try. I am always sceptical of buying a new product. I'll cross my fingers that I'll win.
Posted by: Heidi Clark | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 08:38 PM
Wow, these makeup are amazing! Those who would win will surely have a happy christmas. :D
Thanks for the chance.

Posted by: kerri r | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 09:21 PM
Since I was a teen I have loved trying new products and remember signing up for a club where they sent you a mystery box of beauty products each month for a small fee. I saved my baby sitting money to pay for these. It was always exciting looking to see what was included and then hiding it away so my little sister wouldn't get into it. I would love to receive a "mystery box" again!
Posted by: Dianne | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 10:33 PM
I have a new skincare line from Sweden for you to check out for 2009. Like they say, out wit the old, in with the new. I am happy to take the old off your hands and replace it with a very expensive new wrinkle cream from Sweden.
Posted by: Lindsey | Tuesday, December 16, 2008 at 10:48 PM
I'm planning to clean out my stash and donate unused items, samples, etc., to the local battered women's shelter. I'd love to start all over with the goodies from your closet, and pass on the ones I can't use to the shelter as well!
