Congratulations to TheMakeupGirl Reader Elyse Friedman
YOU WON GIRL!!
Elyse had the winning entry for our November contest and has won a full set of Billy B. Beauty Makeup Brushes valued at $250!!. It took me over an hour to read through all 94 entries and it was a tough decision but ultimately, Elyse really won me over.
Elyse - you need to email me girl!!
Look out for my holiday contest over the next few days...
Read Elyse's winning entry below...
"Well MakeupGirl, I don't envy you right now! So many interesting stories - some of them really compelling. My story: I'm 52, have worn makeup on and off since I was in my 30s. I'm not a makeup artist, nor am I recovering from an incurable disease. My own disease was absolutely curable. I call it "I give up syndrome." Its effects were nonetheless, both real and devastating. Thankfully, I am on the road back and am once again taking care of myself in a manner that befits me. I've lost weight, bought new clothes, etc. Interestingly, in the course of my journey back to being my real self, I've become obsessed with makeup and it's effect on one's self-esteem. I read many of the makeup and skin care blogs, subscribe to Allure, and haunt my local Sephora. I've had my makeup done by the pros a number of times and have definitely seen the amazing difference really good brushes can make. Applying makeup correctly involves skill - but it seems like the better the brushes, the better the application. Frankly, Makeupgirl, my first thought when I saw your contest was that I shouldn't bother - but then that was my problem for a long time. I had given up on myself and didn't bother. So I'm entering the contest and declaring "I deserve those gorgeous Billy B. brushes," and if I win will treasure them enough to use them well enough to make you, Billy B., and myself proud."
Stay Pretty!!
Amazing entry, you picked a good one Ms. Lianne!
Elyse, congratulations, you definitely deserve to win and I know you'll do us all proud with the million creative makeup looks you'll give yourself with your brand new set of brushes! :)
