I'd also like to send a big thank you to those of you who entered. You all did such an awesome job and I wish I could send prizes to you all!

So on to the goody goody of it all.. As many of you knowI decided to add a second place winner so we'll start with her. Congratulations to Lila Vazquez aka SkittlezzStylezz for winning second place with her Lizard Chick look. :) I loved the texture she created for her lizard skin.. Awesome!!


Congratulations Lila!! You've won a pair of diva-ish earrings made by yours truly! They're antiqued silver with a length of approximately 11" long! I hope you like them. Make sure you email your address info to chararie03@yahoo.com. *Picture is not the completely finished product.. I added beads to the bottom of the dangling chains after photo was taken. :)**

Now on to the first place winner.. She astonished us with a look that encompassed almost everything 3 Ring Circus.. So congratulations to Dora Kacser with her (what I call) Circus Goodness.. which included a big top and ring of fire! Who doesn't love a good ring of fire?? ;)

Congratulations Dora!! You have won Alexeter Mineral Makeup's Summer Collection along with an antiqued silver 3 Ring Necklace made by yours truly! I hope you enjoy your new prizes! Please make sure to email me your address to chararie03@yahoo.com. :)

CONTEST!!!!!!!!!

Well here it is... The announcement I've been promising I'd give once I hit 2,000 fans! And 40+ fans later... I've finally found the time for it.. ;)

So I suppose you're all wondering what exactly this contest is going to be about... but first.. let's talk the prize! One very lucky winner will receive this (unopened of course) beautiful brand new Summer Collection from the amazing Alexeter Mineral Makeup.... So I just want to say thank you to Jen for providing such a great prize!


And this newly added prize... This industrial chic, antiqued silver, lopsided 3 ring necklace (chain is approximately 20.5 inches long) made by yours truly.. :) I figured what could be more appropriate for this theme than a 3 ring necklace??


Ok on to the theme.. The theme was decided on about a couple weeks ago.. but I was talking with a friend today and they suggested a circus theme... I know StellaStarish and myself just recently held a Cirque Du Soleil themed contest but this is completely different... and I figured my life is about as chaotic as a 3 ring circus at the moment... so what could be more perfect?? So the official theme is... cue the creepy circus music and clown cars.... BEAUTY BY CHARLIE'S 3 RING CIRCUS!!!!!! WOOT WOOT WOOT WOOT!!! ;) How fun right?? That means you could do anything inspired by the circus.. Think of all the ideas and colors and fun designs a circus has to offer... and you know no circus is complete without it's side show freak show.. so go crazy! You want to be the bearded lady.. the wolf man... an inspired clown or even something prettyish BRING IT ON!! The big tops the limit!! Too cheesy??? Ehh who cares! ;) Just make sure you leave those wearable looks.. in your makeup cases!
