恭喜发财! 新年快乐! New year, new entry.
Make me a new banner!

You see the Jesuisfei banner at the top of my page? I'm sick of seeing the same header all the time. I'm sure you are too! Makeup contests are so boring now. I want to see you channel your creative juices in this way! Use any medium you want. You can use photoshop, paint (everyone has some kinda paint-like program), or even take a photo of a drawing/collage/sculpture you've done. I don't care! Do whatever you like!
There will be no voter polls and no judging on your artistic ability. Everyone has an equal chance to win. I just want to see you make an honest attempt. This contest is judged solely by me on the basis of effort. I'll be randomly picking the winning entry at the end of this contest.
On to the good stuff:

Rouge Unlimited lipstick in BG938

Sweet Lip Gloss in Cherry

Drawing Lip Pencil in Wine 230
Why'd I choose Shu lip products? First of all, it was all neatly packed into a shiny, red, lip-shaped pouch (yes, you get that too), so I don't have to do anything to make the prize look good. Secondly, I love Shu Uemura products, and I want one of my readers to love it too! These colors are also very wearable, so I think it'd be useful for anyone who wins this. Their lipsticks are pretty pigmented and have great lasting power. The N.Y. Post thinks so too:

Guidelines:
1) Entries should be e-mailed as an attachment to this address (my junk & school e-mail address, so don't bother spamming). Dimensions should be up to 930 pixels in width, but I'm not going to be too strict about that. One entry per e-mail address. (MAKE SURE I RESPOND TO YOUR SUBMISSION IN CASE IT DOESN'T REACH MY MAILBOX.)
2) Open to all readers (international).
3) Qualifying entries (as in, entries that follow my guidelines) will be placed in a random drawing and one winner will be chosen. The winner will be notified via the e-mail used to enter. The prize will be shipped at my expense. (WINNER MUST REPLY WITHIN 3 DAYS OR FORFEITS THE PRIZE.)
4) Contest ends Monday, February 9th, at 12 p.m. (noon) pacific time, so that's the latest you can submit your entry.
Am I going to use all of your entries? You bet I will! I want everyone to enter, because this contest was meant to allow those who never ever win makeup contests to actually win something. If you don't try, you've already lost your shot at $60 worth of makeup.
Don't cheat.
Yes, yes. It does seem weird to make you go through all this work only to have me choose the winner AT RANDOM. Seems to me the only way I ever win is when these things are randomized, so I'm gonna make it so. Too bad!

On another note, I've started using Hanskin BB creams. My skin was a WRECK, especially the right side of my face. Not sure that I see any positive differences since using BB, but I'll write a more extensive review soon.


Playing with my shadows one more time before I sell/swap 'em away. I'm wearing Hanskin Caviar Gold BB here. See the blemishes on my right side? Gross!
