TGBIW Winner Writes Back

Lindsay, winner of the Greatest Giveaway, wrote me the other day to say thanks - and to extol the virues of The Greatest Brush In The World. Here's what she said:

Daneen!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can't even begin to tell you how much I LOVE my TGBIW! I received it a few days ago and wanted to use it a bit so I could give you a full report. Bottom line: silky bristles, perfect application...if your readers DON'T have this brush...THEY NEED TO GET IT ASAP!

I'm heading to Philly soon so I will definitely be stopping by Ursula's About PHace to pick up some more goodies!

Thank you again!

Lindsay

Don’t live anywhere near Philly, but want some PHace time? You’re in luck, ladies…because Ursula is sponsoring a Spoiled Pretty giveaway. One lucky reader will win…TGBIW (The Greatest Brush In The World) - Ursula's About PHace Premier Makeup brush!!!

The TGBIW's hairs are the highest quality grade of pure Sable - the most expensive, luxurious, and durable hair used for make-up brushes. TGBIW's handle is delicately weighed and balanced for the ultimate professional application.
This perfect, soft brush is designed to perform the functions of 4 different brushes:

1) The tapered shape of the hairs effortlessly blends bronzer evenly over the perimeters of the face.

2) The precisely groomed hairs buff and polish the skin back to its original luster, after a loose powder application, by removing excess powder.

3) The superior density of the hairs is perfect for depositing and smoothly blending blush pigments.

4) The perfect balance of softness and precision makes the TGBIW the ideal brush for distributing shimmer powders to the decollete, shoulders, and back.

To enter the giveaway, send an email to blogaboutsexygirlpicscontests@gmail.com - be sure to include your full name. The subject line should read "TGBIW Giveaway.” The contest ends at 9pm EST on Thursday, March 13th. A winner will be chosen at random from among the entrants. On Friday, March 14th, I’ll announce the winner's name. Please, only one entry per person; duplicate entries will not increase your chances of winning. Contest is open to U.S. & Canadian residents. Good luck!
