this is a really great contest, so many of us are feeling the strain of the economy and this will be like Christmas for twelve of us lucky people out here!
Thanks for the chance to win!

I need a treat so badly. Sharing caregiver duties with my sisters for father who had stroke with paralysis and raising 2 boys, oh make that 3 as I'd better include my hubby lol, doesn't leave much time/energy/funds for these lovely types of treats! New makeup is so important to start a new season right!

What a great idea for a "pick me up, mood-booster"! I'm all for doing my part to stimulate the economy, but it's hard to buy things you reaaaalllly don't need when you never know if your job is the next one on the line. thanks so much for the chance to win!

Yeah this is great I like surprises and contests. What nice way to start off spring.
Posted by: Tanya | Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 05:53 PM
What's a better way to start spring and look forward to summer? I'd love to get my hand on some Sonia Kashuk product, as I don't have access to this brand. Not mentioning other great brands you listed. Thanks
Posted by: Halifax | Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 06:02 PM
Wow this is a generous giveaway if I ever saw one! I can't think of a better way to kick off the new spring season than by inspiring others to try something new with their daily routine -- whether its something with their skincare or a whole brand new look!
Posted by: Lisa | Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 06:56 PM
I have entered many blog contests..yet, I just can't really seem to win one. Yes, it's a game of chance, but I would love the prize.
Even if I don't win..thanks..for the chance.

It amazes me that despite of the economy that our favorite beauty bloggers are still gracious enough to share their beauty loot! Thank you so much, to receive one of your boxes will surely brighten my spring!
Posted by: Nina | Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 09:00 PM
What a great contest. Will be a real pick me up for winners in this economic climate.
Posted by: se | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 01:36 AM
There are always new and fun products to find.Thanks for letting me know about some of them.
Posted by: sunchicka | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 01:38 AM
What a great contest to wake up to this morning! In our new frugality, my makeup budget was slashed early on (good thing I have a decent stash) and except for replacing my mascara, there won't be any new make up for me this year - so I'd love to win something.
Posted by: Inky | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 05:57 AM
In today's economic times we all need a little help staying beautiful on a budget. What a great giveaway. Thanks.

This is a wonderful contest. Thank you so much for doing this. I enjoy your blog immensely and look forward to it on my RSS feed.
Posted by: Tara | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 07:53 AM
What a great way to herald in spring! I would love to win this because my spring makeup bag definitely needs a pick me up! Not to mention my dry winter skin!

I am so glad to be eligible in time for this great contest! The three month limit passed since I won the Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual (which I love, by the way, and thank you!) on March 10th. You've had so many more contsts that I would have liked to have entered, but I contented myself just to read the blog. There's always so much new content here that it's always a fun place to be! Best blog on the web!
Posted by: Sherry B. | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 12:22 PM
Hi, I absolutely am so excited for this contest.. especially in these times when we're all trying to cut back on unnecessary spending. thank you! :)
Posted by: Janie W. | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 12:29 PM
I'm getting a new hair cut...What better way to top it off than with new make up!!!
Posted by: Deanne S | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 12:29 PM
I'm loving this giveawaY! I us Philosophy, Burt's Bees and some of the others, and would love to try the new Spring line from MAC! :)
Posted by: 1955nurse | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 01:55 PM
The Spring flowers aren't blooming yet so it's pretty bland around my house. If I can't have color in my yard, I'd like to try some new products to add a little color to my face!
Posted by: Condo Blues | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 04:05 PM
did i read Young Blood as one of the brands? Never heard of it but the name sounds very provocative :) I would be happy to try any MAC products because i never owned anything by that brand.
Posted by: anna | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 04:36 PM
This is a great contest for recessionistas, such as myself, who are trying to cut back. Many of the brands you have listed are ones I love or have been dying to try! Thanks for the opportunity!
Posted by: Jacinda S. | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 04:53 PM
I've been a follower of your blog for a long time....still one of the best! Always fun and informative.
Posted by: TracyF | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 09:40 PM
This is a wonderful prize. I love to try new beauty products. I always feel like I'm pampering myself when I buy something new to try. Thanks for another awesome giveaway!
Posted by: Nicole Price | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 09:43 PM
I just have to say that you had me at MAC! *pretend like that is being said by Tom Cruise and it's a lot more interesting*
What a fantastically creative contest! I found out about it by being a subscriber and having it hand delivered to my email. I would suggest everyone subscribe!!!
OH and I can't wait to hear more about this..."Dirty Girl" cosmetics! Woo hoo! ;)

What a perfect time for this fabulous giveaway what with the economy plus the start of springtime and new beginnings! I always love getting at least a couple new beauty items in the spring as I attempt to spring clean and renew myself! Lots of awesome brands listed there. I love Urban Decay and Hard Candy stuff!
Posted by: Kelli | Monday, March 23, 2009 at 11:15 PM
I'm getting dangerously low on my beauty supplies and can't justify the expense of replacing them when there are so many other necessities I need to buy for the family. I would hope to win so I don't end up having to walk around bare faced with dry skin.
Posted by: Tracey Byram | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 02:37 AM
I love surprises and winning a box of beauty products would be terrific. I see products I use like Burt's Bees, L'Oreal and Garnier are listed. I'd love to win those and trying the others would be such fun!
Posted by: Suzette | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 03:21 AM
I've been feeling a little frumpy lately and as you said spending on beuaty products seems extravagant right now, so this package may be just what I need to bring back that beautiful glowing girl I know is buried under the sweater sets and khaki pants.
Posted by: megan | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 06:17 AM
For one thank you for a great giveaway.
I know that i need an update on my cosmetics.
Also just thinking with the spring season upon us it is nice to have a new look and feel better about ourselves.
Posted by: Londia | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 06:20 AM
what a great contest; would love to try some of these products
Posted by: judy folk | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 06:25 AM
This is a reat way to start the morning. Seeing so much info on such great products that I would love to win!
Posted by: Grace Struthers | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 06:27 AM
WOW! These are all such great brands! I know we've had to budget crunch quite a bit lately, so this would be fantastic! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Posted by: Teresa Hoyt | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 06:44 AM
Wow Cybele, this is a very generous giveaway! You are so right that it's hard to justify buying new beauty products these days. It's so easy to stay with the products you have and make them stretch another season, rather than tossing them and buying something new to update your look.
Posted by: athena910 | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 07:19 AM
This is such an awesome giveaway. With finances being the way the are, having a daughter in university and myself being on disability, it's hard to take any money to buy beauty products for myself so I feel a little blah most of the time. It would be nice to have a little lift and these products would be just the way to do it. Thanks for the chance to enter.

Thank you for saving me a ton of $$$$! I love to try new beauty items but hate wasting money on something that doesn't live up to the hype so I really appreciate you 'going there first'.
Posted by: Sharon H | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 07:24 AM
This is a great time for a giveaway like this - spring is here (sort of), and some new stuff is exactly what we need to welcome the warm seasons back. Thanks!
Posted by: Ladydoor | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 08:05 AM
I felt like I was trying to solve a puzzle trying to read all of the brands! I hope I don't get a headache now, ha, ha.
Posted by: Sherry | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 08:07 AM
this sound like a fantastic contest. i hope i win
Posted by: kerry | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 08:43 AM
This is a great giveaway that gives people a chance to win not one item but several to try to see if they might like to buy the products.
Posted by: cc | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 10:29 AM
This would be a great thing to win - it would be good for a gift
Posted by: Samuel Ruiz | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 10:32 AM
Thanks for this great contest. I am looking forward to spring already!
Posted by: Ken C | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 10:40 AM
You hit the nail right on the head when you said it is difficult to justify buying beauty products in this economy. But with a little help from manufacturer coupons and great contests like yours there is a way around spending too much.
Posted by: ChristineB | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 10:42 AM
Thanks for this contest! Its a great way to try brands that I normally pass up.
Posted by: Dion | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 11:02 AM
What a wonderful way of sharing all of these products! I always carry Burts Bees chapstick with me in my purse, it is a great way of creating a bit of shine without having a waxy taste! I hope to be one of the lucky ones to get the prize, so excited to try the new products :) Thanks
Posted by: JB in Van | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 11:09 AM
The one thing I love is trying new beauty products, I recently bought L'oreals new exact eyelights mascara and I love it. It would be wonderful to win and try out even more new beauty products so thanks for running this contest !
Posted by: Emma Lund | Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 11:43 AM
How fun to win a box of goodies! I've given up buying nail polish for Lent. I've also not bought anything else. It would be so nice to win something. I heard on TV that women are buying cosmetics instead of more expensive items. A nice new tube of lipstick always makes me happy.
