Thanks so much to everyone who entered the Makeup Museum's 12-year anniversary giveaway! Now it's time for MM staff to announce the lucky winner. This time Visitor Services Associate Space Babo will do the honors.
Yay!! Laura, please send me your address and I'll get this boxed up and ready to go. Hopefully USPS won't lose it, they're a mess lately.
"Oh, this martini shaker is just my size! Think I'll make myself a drink!" Space Babo, NOOOOOOO!!
Okay…I managed to save it. Whew. Well, at least he didn't try to outright eat it.
Thanks so much again everyone!
Huge thanks to everyone who entered the Makeup Museum's giveaway! Now it's time for MM staff to announce the winner. Big Sailor Babo will be doing the honors.
Yay! Cassandra, please send me your address and I'll get this boxed up and ready to go. Wait a sec…
"Oooh, what are these? Some kind of fancy French cookie and a cookie stick with sugar tulips?!"
Sailor Babo, no!
Whew, I saved the prize yet again. I really need to keep a close eye on staff when they do the giveaway announcements!
Thanks again to everyone who entered and for supporting the Museum. There's not much to celebrate these days so I don't know when the next giveaway will be, but hopefully in a couple months. In the meantime, let me know in the comments if you like the idea of including a vintage piece in future giveaways. Stick with it or no?
I’m a little late in celebrating a very small Instagram milestone with a giveaway, but I figured it was a good excuse to deaccession some items I accidentally ended up with multiples of. I know some of my blog readers aren’t on Instagram and most of my IG followers don’t keep up with the blog so giveaways are a nice opportunity for everyone scattered across various social media platforms to have a chance at winning some really fun stuff.
To celebrate 3,000 followers on Instagram, I’m giving away three lovely objects: a beautifully embossed Givenchy highlighter (you can read about the pattern here), an adorable notebook with artwork by talented beauty writer and illustrator By Minoue, and a Helena Rubinstein tulip-printed lipstick from the mid-1960s. Yup – for the first time in the Museum’s history I will be giving away a vintage item! (Obviously I don’t recommend that you actually use it.) Helena Rubinstein’s Tulip line was sold between 1963-1967 and featured lipsticks and a pressed powder compact. Judging from the number of ads I’ve come across, it was a very popular collection or at least marketed heavily.
There will also be a bonus mystery item included in the giveaway, which I’ve covered up so the winner can be (hopefully) pleasantly surprised. Hint: it’s another tiny vintage item that will go well with the lipstick. 😉 AND the winner will also get their choice of samples, as many as their heart desires!
There are lots of ways to enter via the Rafflecopter widget below. Please note that for all of the Instagram entry options, you must be following me there for them to count. Yes, it’s open internationally!
