British Icon contest

EXTENDED DEADLINE UNTIL THE 1ST SEPTEMBER SO GET CREATING GIRLS!!

I started my YouTube channel about a month ago and I always said that if I ever reached 500 subscribers I'd hold a contest. Before I had a chance to have one I'd gone over 600 so now I'm having a 600 subscribers contest instead.

It took me a while to think of a theme but the other day while I was e-mailing some people in America about me custom purchasing some UK brand makeup for them (Makeup Merchant), it hit me. My latest contest is British themed, all the prizes will be by UK brands and products that those outside the UK find hard to get hold of.

This is your chance to win some great prizes! Here's my latest video on the contest.



A list of the prizes:

1st Prize
  • Illamasqua Bronzing Duo - comes in 2 colours, winner can choose.
  • Gosh 134, Darling lipstick
  • Gosh Banana's Velvet Touch eyeliner
  • Barbara Daly eyelid primer
  • Sleek Storm/Original palette (which ever you like)
  • St.Moriz self tanning mousse
  • Boots Botanics duo eye makeup remover
  • Superdrug eye brightening cream
  • Barry M Pink Flamingo nail paint
  • Barry M Dazzle Dust in colour of you choice

2nd Prize

  • Sleek Storm palette
  • Barry M 129 lip paint
  • Barry M Pink Flamingo nail paint

3rd Prize

  • Sleek Storm palette
  • Collection 2000 Dynasty nail polish
What you have to do?

  • All you have to do is re-create the makeup look of any British icon from any profession or decade just someone who's style you admire.
  • If you have a YT channel please do a video entry in the form of either a tutorial or just the look stating who and why. When you've done your entry please make it a response video to my last video.
  • If you DON'T make videos then you can still enter on your blog just do a look post with lots of photos and your inspiration. Please let me know by commenting on this post with your link.
  • If you have neither of these then you can e-mail me pictures to ymbeautyblog@yahoo.co.uk
