Giveaway?

I had this up on a different blog of mine, so don't mind the ghetto image. I might take a new one later if I'm not feeling lazy. I've never done a giveaway before so this is new for me. If you have any suggestions please send them my way. [: Since this is my first one and I'm super anxious to figure out how it all works, I'm going to accept entries only for a week. The contest will be closed on Sunday, August 1st, 2010.

I really enjoy the Gatsby / Mandom line of products. I use a variety their items: hair, face, body, and even feet. This giveaway package will focus on some of their hair and face items that I have used and enjoyed.

^ Gatsby - $20USD - Silver Dye
As shown in the pictures below, this is meant to be a lightening product instead of an actual hair dye. It has different affects on different shades of hair. Of course, the product was designed to work with medium to dark hair. On the package it is described as part of the "natural bleach and color series."


This is an example of what someone with very dark brown to black hair can expect to see after using the product.


This is what it would look like on someone with very, very light blond hair (or on hair that has been bleached before applying the dye.)

^ Gatsby - $18USD each - Hair Styling Wax (Moving Rubber)
A set of three products from their wax series will be given: Air Rise, Spiky Edge, and Technical Design Clay. I tried to include a variety that can be used to create different styles. These are great for keeping bangs in place, especially since it can easily be restyled without flaking or making your hair appear stiff.


^ Gatsby - $8USD - Facial Powder Sheet
These are a life saver. I keep them with me wherever I go. Just blot your face with the paper and it will get rid of any excess oil. This helps to gets rid of extra shine on your face. These are even cool to use with makeup. (Make sure you dab instead of wipe.)


^ Gatsby - $12USD - Oil Clear Wet Paper
This is nice to use after going to the gym, before bed, or any time you want that clean and fresh feeling. This can't be used over makeup. It gets rid of all the excess oil, sweat, and dirt on your skin easily.

^ Gatsby - $10USD+ - Mystery Item
I think I'll try to include one related mystery item with a value of at least $10USD in each of my giveaways.

Seven items with a total value of around $90USD. I wanted my first giveaway to be an interesting one. These are all Japanese products, but they have a sticker with English instructions on the back. Good luck to everyone who enters! Winners will be chosen via random.org.

Expect a donation button to make its way on to this page soon. I'll use all the funds to put together giveaway packages. You don't have to donate to enter, but I'll give you 3 entries on the giveaway of your choice for every donation you make. Just put a random phrase in the PayPal note and include it in a comment so I can keep track. [:
