Dear Reader, a Gorgeous Giveaway (closed)

SO HAPPY TO PRESENT the first giveaway on Tales from the Cusp! The last couple of months have been a revelation, and I've learned so much since the blog's launch. I'm especially excited about the growing number of new readers everyday, and to those of you who keep coming back, you make it all worth it. 

So let's have a giveaway!

THE PRIZE:
Gorgeous Cosmetics AM to PM five-piece makeup kit. This limited edition set transforms your makeup from a naturally glamorous daytime look to a stunning and luminous nighttime look. The kit contains:

The Madison Avenue Mascara: a blacker than black creamy formula for dazzling volume, length and curl. An Eye Pencil (in Black): lasts up to 8 hours, with a special gel formula that's richly pigmented, creamy, and water-resistant. Lip Lacquer (in Clear): A hybrid gloss and lipstick which doubles as a lip treatment and plumper, and enriched with collagen peptides. Gorgeous Lipstick (in Gorgeous Red): Free of Parabens and enriched with Vitamin E and an emollient to moisturize and protect the lips. The color is a beautiful deep red. And the Madam Lashes: Lush reusable false lashes that fit any eye shape. 

And everything comes in the luxe keepsake box shown above. 


Founded in Melbourne by award-winning Makeup Artist David McConnell, Gorgeous Cosmetics has a cult-following among makeup artists and beauty buffs around the world. And the brand is now in Manila (Eastwood Mall, SM Aura, and SM Mall of Asia) thanks to my beautiful old college pal, Kristin. In the stores, the kit is worth Php 4,960, or free after a minimum purchase of PHP 5,000 worth of Gorgeous Cosmetics products. But on Tales from the Cusp, one lucky reader is getting it for free. Kristin even threw in samplers of the First Base Foundation Primer, the Base Perfect Liquid Foundation, and the Sheer Brilliance Liquid Foundation. Thank you Kristin!

  3. I must have this kit because as a business woman, my "working hours" are very erratic. Some days I'd have breakfast meetings, others, internet conference calls at 2AM. Most of the time, I don't know where to pencil in my lovelife but it just works. :D

    Also, I love this set so much because I believe that every woman deserves to look and feel beautiful any time of the day! Our society just asks a lot from us, better look gorgeous while we're working on "having it all"! :)

  4. First of all my husband and friends fondly call me Gorgeous. Hence, the makeup brand is very apt. It is therefore necessary for me to live up to the name and be gorgeous! Need I say more? ;) teeheehee...

  5. Work keeps me so busy the entire day that there's little time to fix myself for after-work engagements. So glad to see that there's a kit that can change all that! This kit would definitely keep me gorgeous from AM to PM. ;)

  6. Hi. :)

    I like to think of make up as empowerment tools especially for women. More than making women look good, it also makes them feel good about themselves. And because of that, this kit has more value than whatever it is worth in currency.

    So. Will you help me feel good about myself? :)

  13. Hi :) I don't usually like makeup but I'm willing to try something if I think it's worth it. This looks like a pretty straightforward kit that's both glam but also simple with no wild colors that might not be flattering for all skin types and tones. The red lipstick looks really nice, I agree. So I must have this kit because I think it is the one thing that will make me change my mind about makeup once and for all! Such a generous giveaway by the way. Cheers tales from the cusp!

  19. Hi I'm an ex-flight attendant and a mother of two..since I left the airline industry I have become more selfless and has always prioritized my children's needs before me and I barely buy new cosmetics for myself most of what I'm using are gifts from friend's and relatives and I would love to have the latest line of gorgeous collection's to make me feel more confident like I used to before when I was still flying...
