It’s still hot, and I’m still dreaming of a beach vacation, so this week’s prize is a Bobbi Brown Illuminating Bronzer in Bahama (value $33; swatched here).
Here’s how it works:
- This giveaway starts today and ends Sunday, June 13, at midnight.
- You can enter once per day. (If you enter more than once per day, only the first entry will be counted.)
- This giveaway is open to readers anywhere in the world.
- A winner will be selected at random from the valid entries.
- To enter, leave a comment on this post, and tell me about a time you scored a great beauty deal — a garage sale, a clearance bin find, rescuing a great item your roommate was going to throw away, etc.
- Winners will be contacted by email, so please use an email address you check (addresses will be hidden, and will not be used for any purpose other than contacting the winner).
Good luck!

Several years ago I won a contest whose prize was a bag full of BeneFit products! The bag itself was a BeneFit special; I didn’t like it but a friend did, so I gave it to her. But it was packed with makeup, skin care, and bath & body items, most of which I still have. And I love BeneFit, always have!
My grocery store sometimes gets shipments of NYX products that they clear out at $1 each. I have gotten tons of the single e/s and lipglosses that way.
A few years ago I held a summer job working in a cosmetic factory. They were always giving away damaged items. Nothing was wrong with the makeup itself, but if it was a problem with the packaging they would give it away. I racked up on plenty of free makeup items that summer!
