SPECIAL GIVEAWAY: Susan Thompson Cosmetics Mim's The Word Liquid Blush as Featured in my REDBOOK Interview!

I thought that I would kick off Black Friday with my first-ever contest featuring one of my top pick Holy Grail products.

As you are all aware by now, I am a devoted fan of Susan Thompson Cosmetics, and have yet to meet a more talented makeup artist. In fact, one of my all time favorite products from any line is her Mim's the Word Liquid Blush (for my full review click here). I love this product so much that I specifically referred to it in my recent REDBOOK interview when asked about great multitasking products (link to entire REDBOOK article). They wanted my advice on multitasking products that could be applied when you have little time or patience to use all of your regular products, and when you need to get out of the house quickly while still looking put together and polished. I said, "One of my very favorite products is Susan Thompson Cosmetics Liquid Blush in Mim's the Word, it's a gorgeous pink that is as lovely on the lips as it is on the cheeks, and it applies effortlessly, flawlessly, and quickly with the fingers."

Multitask

If you don't have the time or patience to apply all of your regular products, Seicento suggests opting for formulas that work all over.

Sweepstakes are those in which the winner is drawn at random, whereas a contest requires that the entrants are asked to answer a question, or to write something specific to the particular giveaway.

-Once the winner contacts me and provides the required information I will announce the winner in this post.

-The product shown above is an example of the new, unopened product that the winner will receive.  Please note the ingredients in the product are shown above so that you can see everything and determine whether you are allergic to any of the them.  If you have an allergic reaction to the product, or simply do not like it, by entering the contest you expressly agree to release Susan Thompson Cosmetics and Lola's Secret Beauty Blog from any and all liability whatsoever.
