Win Beauty Loots from Style Manila

By Sasha Manuel

16 November 2008 1,007 views 46 Comments

To officially welcome Style Manila’s Beauty Section (Yes! I’ve also been a beauty blogger for the past 16 months!), an early Christmas giveaway to my readers AND an advanced celebration of Style Manila’s 2nd year anniversary on January 2009 (if plans push through, I won’t be around during the holidays hence won’t be able to put together this contest), I’m giving away five (5) Beauty Loot to five (5) winners!

1. L’Oreal Elsève Nutri-Gloss Haircare System, Pearl Protein, 2. Shu Uemura Samples, Skin Protector SPF 50, 3. Artistry Light Reflective Lotion SPF 15, 4. Maybelline Clear Smooth Face Powder, 5. Shu Uemura Samples, Brightening Skin Purifier & Premium A/O Toner, 6. VEET Hair Removal Cream, 7. Beauty Formulas, Hair Removal Mousse, 8. Victoria’s Secret - Strawberries and Champagne, 9. Nivea Visage DNAge Cell Renewal, Eye Cream, 10. Shu Uemura Samples, Skin Protector SPF 50, 11. IMG_4048-1-WM, 12. Shu Uemura Samples, Skin Purifiers

So now you might be wondering just how you can get your little hands on one of these loot bags, well, we’re going to have a little comment contest (Thanks for the idea, Dexie!).

Here’s how it’ll work: Top five (5) individuals with the most comments wins! Simple, yes? LOL.

There ARE conditions, though. After the comment landslide/s that happened on previous contests, I’ve decided that it’s best to set certain limits. So, if you’re thinking of flooding the comments section with inanities, think again.

First off, let’s talk about which comments will count. You can comment on any post — past, current, and future posts. Search the archives, categories, tags, etc. You can comment on all 300++ posts found in Style Manila!

Now, on what sort of comments will count (and the sort that won’t). Smart ones. Conversational ones. Leaving a comment for the heck of it, i.e. “Nice post!” “Hope I win!” etc, etc., WILL NOT count. Period. The comment should be related to the topic of the post and should form a complete idea on its own. AND like what I always tell people whom I welcome in any of my blogs, BE NICE. No sense in ensuing strife and negativity, know what I mean? I have the right to disqualify comments that are deemed dodgy. Heh.

Perks of Style Manila regulars, all your previous comments will be taken into account. Consider it part of a loyalty rewards program (hehe) and a Christmas prezzy. BUT the newbies need not fret, numbers aren’t too intimidating. The most comments posted is 280 (that’s MINE, LOL) and next is just 24. Easy number to beat, yea? As of writing, total number of comment members is 362.

Finally. What you folks will be winning.

Prizes will be awarded accordingly. Simply put, rankings are the determining factor.

Beauty Loot 1 (Most number of comments)
L’Oreal Elsève Nutri-Gloss Care Shampoo (Pearl Protein)
L’Oreal Elsève Nutri-Gloss Daily Rinse-Out Treatment (Pearl Protein)
L’Oreal Elsève Nutri-Gloss Intensive Shine Mask (Pearl Protein)
Nivea Visage DNAge Cell Renewal Eye Cream
Shu Uemura Cleansing Beauty Oil White Recovery EX+ (sample size)
Shu Uemura XTR Protector SPF 50 PA+++ (sample size)

Beauty Loot 2 (1st runner up)
Victoria’s Secret Refreshing Body Mist in Vanilla Lace (250ml)
Maybelline Clear Smooth Face Powder
Shu Uemura Cleansing Beauty Oil Premium A/O (sample size)
Shu Uemura XTR Protector SPF 50 PA+++ (sample size)

Beauty Loot 3 (2nd runner up)
Victoria’s Secret Refreshing Body Mist in Pure Seduction (250ml)
ARTISTRY™ Light Reflective Lotion SPF 15, Blushing Radiance
Shu Uemura Skin Purifier High Performance Balancing Cleansing Oil (sample size)

Beauty Loot 4 (3rd runner up)
Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds Eau De Toilette (10ml)
Beauty Formulas Hair Removal Mousse with Almond Extract
Pantene Pro-V 3-Minute Miracle Treatment Ampoule

Beauty Loot 5 (4th runner up)
Veet Hair Removal Cream
Pantene Pro-V 3-Minute Miracle Treatment Ampoule

Whew! I hope you guys are as excited about winning these beauty loots as I am!

Once more, top five (5) individuals with most comments by midnight, 29th of November, will win these prizes, respectively. Make sure the name and email address you enter are verifiable.

Should you feel you need clarifications and such, go ahead and ask. I promise I won’t bite. LOL.

This contest is open to Philippine residents only.

Best of luck and don’t forget to have fun!

    should we let you know that we’re joining this contest here or do we automatically have entries if we’ve commented before?

    # 16 November 2008 at 1:21 pm
  • Sasha Manuel (author) said:

    Yes, leaving a comment here will let me know which reader is interested to join the comment contest. I’ll then take into account if he/she has other comments then will continue to keep tabs on future comments. The comment left here makes their previous comments valid, i.e. the Style Manila regular who currently holds the most number of comments (24) will not automatically be entered in the contest if she will not leave a comment in this post.

    I hope this answers your question!:D

    Hi! I’ve been reading your articles for quite some time now but I never had enough motivation to comment. However, this sure is a great motivation! Please count me in! Thanks!

    P.S. Congrats on finally coming up with this section. I’m sure a lot of Style Manila readers will benefit from this as much as I will!

    Hi Ms. Sasha! It’s me again, Dianne! I hope my gravatar works now (fingers crossed).

    BTW, I already opened some articles from your archive and posted a few comments. Be back later! (^_^)

    I stumbled upon this site through a blog roll and have been coming back and reading your posts since then.

    I’m a sucker for freebies! These beauty loots would definitely be an early Christmas treat =)

  • virlyn said:

    this is really an advance Christmas gift… and thanks for making this early :)

    it’s nice to have people like you, sharing their blessings…

    Count me in and I am counting ;)

  • Marleen said:

    So we’ll have to post here first for our previous comments to count, subject to the condition that the previous comments were not ‘inanities’ like ‘nice post!’ and ‘hope i win!’, am I correct?

    I doubt I can reach more than 10 comments, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy reading the previous posts to comment on them. Though I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to say anything more than ‘drat, didn’t win!’ and ‘aw, missed this sale’ for events and contests that have passed. Well, let’s see how it goes. Hope springs eternal. Thanks for hosting this contest.

    Dianne: Thanks. Good on ‘ya for getting a gravatar. It’s nice to see a photo behind your name. :)

    Emiliana: Good to know that! Get right on it and start accumulating comments! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for ‘ya! ;)

    Virlyn: I’m counting, too. No worries! I like giving presents. LOL. :lol:

    Marleen: No worries! Posting a comment here will help me determine who among you folks are interested in winning the freebies (no sense slaving over counting comments if the reader doesn’t want any of the prizes indicated, yes?). Your comments here will serve as the “opt in” part just like in any other contest. Hope you enjoy reading and commenting! Good luck! :)

    Important Note:

    I’d like to take this opportunity to make it clear that other comments entered as contest entries (example: comments entered in the Big Outlet Sale raffle or Plueys Contest) are NOT counted. Thanks!

  • Lorelei said:

    Hi sasha! I love your articles.. they are really helpful, like a friend close by.. To be honest, at first, I read your articles and made comments because of the freebies (I hope you don’t mind) but as I read on, you reminded me of my fashionista friend who lives in Cebu and I am here in Bohol..

    I am so glad, I stumbled into the style manila website… Now, i know who will i turn to when I have a fashion dilemma. : )

    Thanks! and I just i want to let you know that I am joining this contest. : )
