Hey ladies & gents! I’m very excited because my entry was finally approved, and now I’m on on the site! (yay!) I would reallyyy like to see yours, so please leave a link to your look! If any of you entered the regional contest, I’d love to see some photos. There’s nothing to lose, so enter :)
National Contest – How to Enter?
To enter the “Are You A M·A·C Original?” contest on a national level, consumers can visit http://www.maccosmetics.com/originals/ beginning December 26th to submit a picture of themselves wearing their favorite M·A·C products, along with 50 words on what makes them a M·A·C Original. The winner will be determined by votes online. The winner will receive a $1,000 M·A·C gift card and the complete Originals collection.
Regional Contest – How to Enter?

Your look is fab :) Very parrot-like! (compliment,honest!)
I hope you win, looking through the other pages, half the girls on it don’t look like they’re even wearing make up :o/

Thanks Chica :) I definitely felt a bit out of place going all out with the makeup when I saw some of the other entries, but oh well!

You know what Christine. Even if I didn’t stalk your blog and became familiar with who you are, I would have voted on your entry alone. You blurb on the side was awesomely written and you pic was totally creative and original from the rest in itself. Half the women aren’t even wearing makeup and some have like half a face showing. About 50 percent are a hot mess.
You stick out in a good way.

That’s really nice of you to say, Stella! When you enter, they don’t make it clear that the blurb you write is going to be published, so I am sure some people didn’t think to spend time on it!
Thank you very much :)

LOL, I think there are several others ahead of me, but it’s all good :)

You should really be spam bulletin-ing everyone on myspace, all you really need to do is ask people to pass it on. It’s definitely the most vibrant on there, difficult to outdo. I’m trying to think of what I could possibly do to top that and I’m thinking probably nothing. :)
Christine

LOL, all right, Erin, I took your advice, and I spammed my personal MySpace friends (I so rarely use it, though, so let’s see who reads it, ha).
Psh, I am sure you will come up with something :D

i don’t care what the points say, i think your work was brilliant. i know a lot were rejected so being part of it is special enough. i think you did extremely well, you used the right colors that best suited the title ‘originals’. you collaberated pretty well, i mean some didn’t even look like they were wearing anything. your look was all about the art and not whether you were pretty or not that helped you gain points. in the picture, you got the right attitude, you looked very professional. and i liked what you wrote on the side, i don’t really feel comfortable when they write something too personal, i mean its a contest about art not about personal struggles. anyway, whatever, i hope you win.

Thank you so much, Victoria! It means a lot that you think I submitted such a worthy entry :) I’m happy you liked it and found it fitting. I spent at least a week trying to figure out something I could do that would be me and good for contest at the same time. I didn’t want to go TOO crazy (and perhaps end up looking crazy, too, haha!).

Christine
Tuesday, January 8, 2008
Thanks so much Brooke! Link me to your entry!
You know, it’s sooo weird, because it says you can vote once per day! The site is a little buggy from time to time, so I don’t know. But thank you for trying :D

I think the best part is actually your lip gloss. Perfect shade to compliment the shadow, anything else could look too vampy! It comes off looking youthful.
Christine

Thank you, Erin! I was satisfied with the lip color - the original one was way off the mark (very pale pink), but I went with my usual coral lip instead!

Looks incredible! You have the best one there and I loved your description. I’m thinking about entering too (just for fun, I don’t think I would win) but I haven’t found the right photo yet…I’ll keep looking.
Good luck!
Christine

Thanks, Chrissy! I’m really glad you liked it! If you do, let me know your link - I’d love to see your entry!

I entered and it showed up pretty quickly! I blended Parrot and Club on the lid and went with a pink cheek and lip. I figured I wouldn’t be a true M.A.C. addict if I didn’t enter… ;)
