1st Blogiversary Giveaway Winners

As usual for my contests, I used random.org to choose the winners of my 1st Blogiversary Giveaway. But first I had to do a little tweaking. In the case of duplicate entries, I kept the latest one, unless an e-mail exchange with the person in question or a comment left on the entry caused me to do otherwise. In the cases where the number of tickets put into the various prize buckets did not add up the number of tickets the entrant was eligible for, I allocated the correct number in the same proportion as the tickets entered.

The most popular prize was the Milani holos, followed by the Smoky Purples and the Essies. The Spring Sampler, Revlons, and Ulta cremes were the bottom three (but all still had hundreds of tickets voted for them).

The winners:

Prize #1: Hoof Hands Spring Minis Gabriela from Con B de Belleza.

Prize #2: Ulta Cremes Gwenn from Sweet Sugar. (She's having a giveaway, too; it ends today, so go enter if you haven't already.)

Prize #3: Spring Sampler Jennifer from Lacquer Lover. (You can enter her giveaway until June 1st.)

Prize #4: Essie Une Ruxi à Paris from, not surprisingly, Une Ruxi à Paris. (Her giveaway also ends June 1st; you can enter here.)

Prize #5: Milani Holos winner never got back to me, so I had to pick another.

Prize #6: Revlons everythingsdiamond, who tweets as @Somecrazylady.

Prize #7: Essence Fairytale Elena from Endless Summer.

Prize #8: China Glaze Tronica Kitty from California.

Prize #9: Claire's Mood Polish OohLadyBeGood, who blogs here.

Prize #10: LA Splash Glitter Marietta from Maine.

Prize #11: China Glaze Crackle Patricia from Spain.

Prize #12: Smoky Purples from Cult Nails and Butter London Silence is Loud from Silence is Loud.

Thanks to all of you who entered! I especially appreciated the sweet comments that many of you added to your entry forms.

  15. EverythingsDiamond--wow, that was fast, not even 24 hours from when I dropped them off at the P.O. Maybe we should buy lottery tickets with that kind of luck going for us. :)

Thank you for reading and commenting! I greatly appreciate knowing I'm not just talking to myself here. :) I'm moderating most comments now due to the spate of spammers who claim to be looking for sexy times.
