Giveaway: Maybelline Pulse Perfection Mascara (Now Closed)

May 16, 2009 · 112 comments

Occasionally blogging has its perks. Like getting to try cool new products before they even hit the shelves! For a frugal girl like myself, this is a special treat.

Even better when I get to share a fun new product with my readers! The ElevenMoms were given an opportunity to try the latest and greatest in mascara technology. Who knew that mascara could be so technical?

I happen to love mascara. It is the one beauty product I simply must have. Of course, my usual pick is whatever I can score for free with Extra Care Bucks at CVS.

The new Maybelline Pulse Perfection Vibrating mascara is not your ordinary mascara. It actually delivers 7,000 vibrations per minute in 7 synchronized actions so lashes are transformed to perfection. Did you catch all that?

Apparently, high-end brands like Estee Lauder and Lancome also launched vibrating mascaras, but cost roughly 3 times the price of the Maybelline version. It has been so long since I even set foot in a department store, I had no clue such a thing existed!

This product is not out in stores yet, but will be available nationwide starting on May 28th for $14.95. Until then, you can purchase it exclusively from Walmart.com for $12.95.

I decided to vlog my experience with this new gadget for y’all to see. Since I had a baby just 1 month ago, this was a great excuse for me to ~~take a shower~~ ~~clean my bathroom~~ put on makeup!

Would you like a chance to try this new mascara? Thanks to Maybelline New York and Walmart, I have 2 tubes to giveaway to 2 lucky readers.

For a chance to win:

1. Leave a comment below telling me the one beauty product you cannot live without (initial entry).

For Bonus Entries:

2. If you are a subscriber or follower (thank you!), leave a separate comment. You may subscribe for free updates via RSS or email and leave a comment telling me you have done so.

3. For a third entry, add Keeping the Kingdom First to your blogroll or add my badge to your sidebar. Leave a separate comment with a link to your site.

This contest will close on Tuesday, May 19th, at 10pm CST. The winner will be selected by random.org and contacted via email. Contest open to US residents only.

Good luck, and thank you for entering!

7 kathy forcey May 17, 2009 at 12:51 pm: looks like i picked a great day to join & view your blog for the first time!!

i, too, am an avid mascara-aholic. that, plus my mineral foundation stuff. i can't leave home without either one. DH gets upset when he sees that i have more than two tubes at a time.

currently, i have lash stiletto and 1000 calorie by max factor. two totally different looks that i change according to what i'm wearing, etc. i've heard about this vibrating mascara stuff, but it was too expensive to try. i'm glad i have a chance for a free tube!

11 Jessica May 17, 2009 at 1:57 pm: My only MUST-have is chapstick/lip gloss of some sort. I also use face moisturizer, but I only wear makeup on special occasions. For that reason, it would be great to win so I can throw out my old mascara!

14 Bevin May 17, 2009 at 3:11 pm: One thing i can not live without is mascara. All the ones i’ve bought they always clamp, so i see that this one looks like it would not do that.

Thank,

17 Elliott Mom May 17, 2009 at 3:33 pm: I’ve been wanting to try that mascara! Since joining the SAHM world, I’m addicted to my tinted moisturizer. Just enough color to even out my skin tone, but super easy and fast!

22 Bethany May 17, 2009 at 5:49 pm: Well, I guess I’d have to say there is no makeup item I could NOT live without! But I would PREFER not to do without my mineral foundation, as my skin tone is very uneven. The second item would be eyebrow pencil, since I have really skimpy eyebrows. lol
I loved the video – baby Colin is so adorable! Thanks for sharing him with us via video!

30 Laur May 17, 2009 at 9:53 pm: I subscribed, don’t know if it took… but I’m workin on it!

Make-up ,… what’s that? I forget about wearing it, til I’m in the car driving, which means I have to wait til I get somewhere to put it on! (Cause you know I need to set a good example and keep the makeup and celly in the purse while I’m driving!) So, may favorite one is the one or maybe two that fit in the purse and can go on in the car, within 30 seconds each, and looks good in odd lighting- without giving me cause to cringe when I get into “real” light! Maybe if I had a good Mascara, I WOULD wear it!!!! ~laurieintexas

31 smiling_mama May 17, 2009 at 10:14 pm: Hands down Mascara!! I look so pale without it. Covergirl stopped making the kind that I loved. So maybe if I win this I can try it out and like it. Good Luck Maybelline!
