How The Hold Me Bag Winner Organized Her Cosmetics

Super Girl from Supreme Living Blog who was the winner for the recent The Hold Me Bag Sponsored Giveaway has received her prize and sent me her photos showing how she organized her Hold Me Bag. As you can see the hold me bag can pack quite a punch and Supergirl did a fabulous job getting all her makeup essentials neat and organized. 

The "Les Fleurs" bag was the selection awarded-see link here

Now her brushes have their own place ready for her choosing at a moment's glance without having to dig deep into traditional cosmetics cases. Plus she not only was able to throw in quite a large sum of cosmetics but there was enough room to add the actual product boxes as well! Just imagine how much more room she can have if she removed the cosmetics from the original container.

Congrats again to your Supergirl for your win and I know it will come in handy for you as you informed me you are a bit of a traveler. You can select a Hold Me bag of your choice on the brand's website listed below. The price is a little high but well worth it to stay organized and put together. Stay Beautiful! XOXO

The Hold Me Bag company was gracious enough to send me a Hold Me Bag of my very own along with a thoughtful note thanking Venus Loves Virgo Blog for a successful contest. I wanted to wait doing a review until the winner submitted her prize photo's and now that she has my review will be posted shortly.

Win Makeup Bag Makeover! Sponsored By Hold Me Bag Venus Loves Virgo Blog's First Challenge!

VIEW THE VIDEO TO SEE THE HOLD ME BAG IN ACTION

Happy Friday my fellow bloggies! I have a super surprise for you today, The lovely people over at the Hold Me Bag Company contacted me asking if they can sponsor a Giveaway for my fabulous members and I said Yessss! How great is this? The contest is in the form of a "Peek" Inside Your Old Bag Challenge which is to send me your photo's of your beat up messy cosmetic bags so that I may decide who needs a new fantastic Hold Me  super organizer the most. I will post all the rules below so please make sure to read the rules before submitting your entries. I'll also add information on what the Hold Me Cosmetic organizer is. This bag is no joke! It's super roomy to hold all your beauty products, a full size panel for all your beauty brushes, tools and it easily rolls up into a convenient travel case. Remember you must be a follower of this blog and you must post your messy bag photos before I announce a winner. Retails $90.00 GOOD LUCK! Stay beautiful! XOXO

THE BAG:

The most unique design for your cosmetic bag, ever! Introducing The Hold Me Bag. It's your vanity drawer, the clutter on your bathroom counter, that bulky travel organizer, and you know, those mismatched little zippered cases in your purse. All rolled (literally) into one super neat bag!!

Brushes stay clean and hold their shape, tools are safely stowed. And not to mention that you gained a bathroom drawer and countertop space!!! The Hold Me Bag has a huge "heart" ready to take in and care for all of your daily necessities.  The Hold Me Bag is constructed of a Knew Suede, a stellar fabric that is both handsome and hardworking. Easy to keep fresh and clean, it retains its shape, always bouncing back from tight quarters. Now that you are perfectly streamlined and organized, you can expect a long relationship with your Hold Me Bag as it will deliver many years of service and outlast several generations of those "showy plastic types", the ones that grabbed you with their in the moment print. And unlike proprietary cosmetic organizers, you will always have a perfect fit if you change cosmetic brands!

THE CHALLENGE:

The Opportunity: The Makeup Bag Makeover

The "Peek Show" contest is open to my followers, I will choose the winner and Hold Me Company will send me a Hold Me Bag for one lucky blogger. 

We are confident that the Hold Me Bag will be loved. Not dropping names here but we have gained the praise of top makeup artists who understand the importance of well-organized, protective storage for cosmetics, makeup brushes and palettes.

And it helps that we have a pretty face as they love our chic styling that keeps everything "all wrapped up". 

THE RULES:

You must be a follower of this blog

One entry per person allowed

You must post your "messy" bag ( or any other way you store cosmetics ) photos to this post before winner is announced. Upload the photo to blogger, photobucket or any account you use and add the photo link to the comment section when entering the contest.

Your cosmetic bag can be anything from messy, old, stained, disorganized, overstuffed, outdated or anything that makes you feel you need a new Hold Me bag. Or perhaps you feel your current cosmetic bag doesn't fit all your beauty tool needs. It doesn't have to be just old & messy.

Photos can show your makeup stored in cosmetic bags, boxes, bathroom counter tops, baskets or any other way you store your makeup. 

I just want to see the "before" photos of how you  store your makeup.

If you can't get a link or have troubles posting a photo, tell me in the comment section and send me the photo via email and I will add everyone's photo in other post before making my decision.

You can send photo via email to sabitha13@yahoo.com

Entries must reached me by August 8, 2011

I decide who "needs" the bag the most and Hold Me ships the bag to you.

The more "desperate" your bag the better!

Leave your name, email and messy bag photo when entering in the comment section.

The winner must upload a before and after bag showing us how you have organized your prize and submit the photo to me one week after receiving prize.

The "Les Fleurs" bag will be the selection awarded-see link here

GOOD LUCK!

Sorry it took so long for me to tally up the entries but we have a winner! Dizzy from Death By Dizziness Blog has won my Tokidoki Nail File Set Giveaway! Congrats Dizzy! An email is on the way just send me your mailing address and I'll get your prize out to you as soon as I can. Thanks to all the members who participated in the giveaway and please don't be discouraged as your chance may come up in the next one. A quick mention: I posted this news already but Google erased three of my posts last week that took me an hour total to type up ugh! I finally decided on what my first makeup challenge will be but it wont happen till after the summer break because I might be going away a couple of times this summer plus I'm looking for a prize that will tie into the challenge. Initially I purchased Hello Kitty mirrored container form Sephora as a prize because of another contest I had in mind but that was scrapped. I'm still holding onto the Hello kitty Brush Set as a prize consideration in the future, stay tuned for that review. I'm stoked about this first challenge and hoping to find spectacular prizes if you guys are willing to be patient it will be a great surprise when your back from your summer festivities.  Have a great weekend. Stay beautiful! XOXO

Tokidoki Giveaway!

This is the set I reviewed which I'm keeping

 

 you win a fresh set from the multiples purchased by me at Sephora

Hello bloggers! I hope everyone had a lovely holiday weekend... If your European then you probably are still celebrating as today is what's known as Pasquetta in Italy otherwise known as Easter Monday as well as Lunedi dell' Angelo (Monday of the Angels). Everyone heads out for picnics in the park to eat Columbo pie (I'll have photos and the recipe up on my foodie blog soon) to celebrate as I did with my family except we kept the festivities at home in our yard. I'm passing on the celebration to my lovely subscribers as promised here is my surprise for you guys to make up for that MAC fiasco- a new giveaway for Tokidoki Galleria Nail File Set With Case! I reviewed this item already which you can read by clicking here. These are completely sold out and purchased by me at Sephora ( I have the order form from Sephora to validate this ) Your getting a fresh brand new unused pack which each nail file individually sealed in the package. Your not getting the one reviewed by me and I added and image above to show you that multiple sets were purchased by me so you know your not getting mine. There is still a makeup challenge giveaway coming soon which I'm working on in the meantime I hope this makes up for my stupidity with the last prize offered even though it was still a brand new fresh boxed item. Please read the rules carefully because I will check to make sure everyone has a fair chance and good luck to all! Plenty of brand new reviews coming this week so stay tuned and enjoy your day. Stay beautiful! XOXO

BWC Sponsored Giveaway

After giving you guys a little tease about this sponsored giveaway last night here is how it's going to work. I'm so excited about this and was greatly surprised yesterday when I got an email from the wonderful publicity team over at Beauty Without Cruelty asking me how I would feel about them sponsoring a giveaway for a couple of my bloggers, of course I agreed. The idea came about from the publicity dept. due to all the interest generated from my fabulous members commenting on the Beauty Without Cruelty Natural Lip Infusion Lipstick post which can be found by clicking here.  Before I mention the guidelines I would like to share that email which I'm adding below:

Hello there Maria!

I did some chatting over here on my end; how would you feel about doing a small giveaway for two of your readers?

I was thinking that because of the warm reception on the Natural Infusion Lipsticks, that we could do those. I'd be happy to process the order from here, if that makes it easier for you.  Basically, I'd like you to randomly choose 2 lovely ladies from the commentators on that specific review, and have them choose their favorite shade from the color chart that you have posted the following entry.

  

What do you think?  

The publicity team would like to thank my bloggers for their interest on this beautiful lip product and understands that the pricing made me a little higher for some on a budget so they would like to give two of my members the opportunity to receive and try out the natural infusion lipstick for themselves as a treat! How awesome is that!

Guidelines:

The two winners will be randomly selected by me from the comment section of my Beauty Without Cruelty Natural Lip Infusion Post. (new comments are welcomed but only those blog members who previously commented will be added to the list of recipients)

I will also include names to be added to the drawing from the color chart post of this same lipstick as many of you commented on checking out the BWC website and showing interest as well.

The two winners will choose a color of their choice from the color chart I posted here

Open only to US residents

Winners will be notified by email and will be given a contact email so they can send their mailing address to publicity.

Beauty Without Cruelty Publicity will be responsible for prize fulfillment-they will mail the prize out directly to the two winners.

That's about it! So I'm going to get started on making an entry list and selecting two names form a random generator. I will post the results later on. GOOD LUCK! Thank you Beauty Without Cruelty for doing this and for officially be the first brand to sponsor a giveaway for Venus Loves Virgo Blog! For all my other blog members, don't worry there are more future giveaways! Stay beautiful! XOXO

Venus in Virgo Blog One Year Anniversay Giveaway!

Woo! Can you believe it, Venus Loves Virgo celebrates one whole year in the blogging world! It was only last December that my little blog inspiration struck me. At the very beginning I didn't know how this whole blogging thingie worked and everyday I waited patiently for members to appear out of the blue but none did. LOL! I can be so dense sometimes. It never occurred to me asking others to join or spreading the word around, I thought there was some magical secret list or search engine where other bloggers would find me for sure, I cracks me ups sometimes... Suffice it to say my feelers went up sky up figuring out how to navigate my way around bringing new members and subscribers and for this I wholeheartedly say THANK YOU to my fellow bloggers! I really appreciate your support and forgive me for not getting around to every single persons blog as much as I would like due to time constraints and personal stuff in my life but I'm trying to be more active with every member so please be patient. Just a little thank you for my members/subscribers support I'm having this One Year Anniversary Giveaway and the prize is Victoria's Secret Midnight Glamour Luminous Starlit Highlighting Powder Compact. I added a photo showing two compact highlighters because I recently reviewed one which I purchased for myself and didn't want you guys to think I was giving my used highlighter away. This is brand new in the box from the newly released VS limited edition makeup collection and I purchased a few of these to give away as gifts so one is for the lucky blog winner. If you want to read my review on this product and see more photos click here. I'm sorry I cant reply to my comments right now I'm just rushing out the door but I will as soon as I log on again. Have a great weekend and Stay beautiful! XOXO

Daniele De Rossi Mystery Man Winner-Agnes!

In what has got to be the shortest lasting contest in all blog contest history, I am happy to announce that Agnes from Beauty Vibes is the winner of the Mystery Man Mystery Prize Giveaway. Agnes, how did you guess? Did you already know him or did you do some clever investigating following my Venus Twitter and Form Spring account because little clues were left there and Agnes apparently was hot on the trail. Congrats Agnes! Send me your mailing address and I will get a lovely little prize out to you. The correct answer is none other than the Roman Gladiator himself, Daniele De Rossi who plays mid field position and is Co-Captain for Italy's AS ROMA Futbol Team. Daniele is also the Captain of the Azzurri Italian National Team.  Ahhh, isn't he dreamy...  Since you guys enjoyed this giveaway idea, I have decided to turn this into a future perpetual contest with more mystery prizes but this time I have to be more sneaky so the contest lingers a little longer giving everyone a better chance to play along. I'm gonna keep Mr. De Rossi's photo up in the side bar just a little longer as eye-candy for you girls. Stay beautiful! XOXO
