My least favorite feeling in the world is being rushed. I mean, I deal with pressure everyday, but I have never come to like it nor to welcome it. Should I? Will liking the constant pressure improve my life? I don't think so. I know people who thrive in it (I envy them!) but I've always believed in balance. Without it I'm just a person who earns money.

Anyway, it's time for the Commenter of the Month announcement! ;) My fave reader this month is Stacie. Love how she comments on almost everything, and how honest she is about her life and feedback on products. She wins the Burt's Bees set! Congrats dear!

For the next CoM I'm giving away two Benefit kits. I have here the Do The Bright Thing Face Makeup Kit and the Bronze of Champions Kit. How cool is this? I envy whoever's gonna win! Please don't forget to like Benefit Philippines on Facebook and follow them on Instagram, alright?

Okay, same mechanics as before!

November was a very hectic month so I wasn't able to arrange for a Commenter of the Month prize. Which means that the CoM wasn't announced at the end of October...which then means I will announce the winner now! She is Marianna Fernandez. Congratulations! Please email your address to liz[at]projectvanity.com.

Since I wasn't able to announce a prize for November, I will have two Commenters of the Month for December. I have one lovely set of Revlon products and a gift certificate of P3,000 from POSH Pocket Shoes.

I picked out some of Revlon's latest products for the winner. This is a fabulous selection that's just perfect for the upcoming holiday parties! It has a purple smoky eye palette, foundations, neutral polish, and sheer yet bright lip colors.

^_^ The other CoM can choose P3,000 worth of shoes from POSH, which btw is an awesome brand since they're one of the first in the country to offer durable folding shoes. You can read my ooooold post about it!

Please do follow POSH Pocket Shoes on Facebook!

Okay, same mechanics as before! Every month, I'll pick a commenter on my blog. She must be able to leave useful comments, such as sharing feedback about a product I reviewed.

Hi folks! The Commenter of the Month for September is none other than Stacie Chan. Congratulations! Please email me your address so I can ship your MAC loot. ^_^

For October's Commenter of the Month, I am gifting him/her with two Real Techniques brush sets from KALM Cosmetics. KALM is actually the official distributor of Real Techniques here in the Philippines, so do visit that store for good deals and wholesale arrangements. 

I'm a huge fan of RT brushes. The products, designed by famous vlogger Samantha Chapman, have a precision and softness that would cost a lot more in other brush brands. The Core Collection is something I've never failed to use since I got it, while the Duo-Fiber set is a nice refining addition to my existing tools. I thought it's about time to gift these to one lucky PV reader!

Do Like KALM Cosmetics on Facebook and follow them on Twitter if you're interested in knowing how to get RT brushes here. :)

Okay, same mechanics as before! Every month, I'll pick a commenter on my blog.

Heya folks! Announcement time! The Commenters of the Month for August are Caterwauler and Rochelle Rivera. I also super appreciate Marie Watson's helpful comments (she already won last month actually), so I'll send her something nice as well. Kindly email your addresses, girls!

For September, I decided to give away something from my personal stash, from one of my favorite brands. Three guesses.

That's right, MAC! The loot will include a full-sized MAC Lipglass in Naked Space (a lovely nude) and MAC Fluidline Eyeliner in Little Black Bow. The CoM will also get 30ml bottles of the MAC Lightful Marine Bright Moisturizer and Cleanse Off Oil. Awesome right? 

Okay, same mechanics as before! Every month, I'll pick a commenter on my blog. She must be able to leave useful comments, such as sharing feedback about a product I reviewed.

This August, I will be having not one, but two Commenters of the Month since VMV Hypoallergenics kindly sponsored two sets of prizes for CoM! First things first. Project Vanity's Commenter of the Month for July is none other than Marie/ Apple Watson. She has commented on almost every single post - thoughtful, informative ones - as well as on the Ask Liz! forum. :) Congratulations Marie! Please email me your full name and address.

And now, for the August gift!

The August CoMs will win a set I personally handpicked from VMV. :) If you've been reading this blog then you'll know how much I enjoy using these products. I have here the VMV Hypoallergenics Skintangible (12 grams), Lipstick, ID Monolaurin Gel and Skintensive Facial GC worth P1,500 each. Do click the links to see my reviews of these awesome beautifiers!

You may also follow VMV Hypoallergenics PH on Facebook to be updated with their new releases and promos.

Okay, same mechanics as before! Every month, I'll pick a commenter on my blog. She must be able to leave useful comments, such as sharing feedback about a product I reviewed.

I am once again late in announcing this so I decided to schedule the next CoM gift for July. It's a pretty exciting loot from Benefit which I'm sure you'll love! But first, congratulations to the Commenters of the Month for May and June respectively: Paulina and Maggie! They've been very active not just on the blog post but on the Ask Liz! forum as well. Even I'm learning lots of interesting tidbits from both these girls.

Paulina will be getting the Clinique gift for May, while Maggie will also get a pouch from Clinique with some samples and a few full-sized things from other brands. :) Again, congratulations and thank you for your intelligent and kind words on my blog. Please email me your full name and addresses so I can ship your gift.

Moving forward, I requested for two of my favorite products from Benefit for the July CoM gift : the Cha Cha Tint and Hervana Blush. If you read my reviews, you'll find out why I love using these two cheek prettifiers whenever I'm craving for a coral or pinky flush. The kind folks at Benefit also added their latest product, the Benefit Fake Up Concealer! So jealous, as I haven't tried this yet myself haha. 

Please do like the Benefit Philippines Facebook Page to keep updated about the brand's latest promos and prizes. ;)

Hi y'all! I finally have the commenter of the month for April - Ohms! Congratulations, you just won a Pinkbox mini-closet! Please email your full name and mobile number to liz [at] projectvanity.com. As stated in the terms, you can either pick up the closet in the Pinkbox office or have it shipped to your address. :)

So, for the May gift I'm giving away generous samples from Clinique and a full-sized Chubby Stick in Two Ton Tomato. I love the Chubby Sticks, and I'm sure you will too! They're easy-to-wear lip colors that you literally just swipe and go, while also taking care of your lips. There's also a smaller size of the Chubby Stick in Super Strawberry (the best-selling shade) for you to enjoy. ;)

Oh, please don't forget to like Clinique Philippines on Facebook to get up to speed on the brand's latest breakthroughs!

Okay, same mechanics as before!

Hope you're having a great Saturday so far! I'm off to a tea party later so that should be fun. If time permits I'll shoot a tutorial for this look I wanna try out. ;) Anyway! The Commenter of the Month for February is couchpotato_md. Please email your name and shipping address as soon as you read this.

And now, for the March prize! I'm giving away a lip gloss and eyeshadow from Bobbi Brown's latest collection called Lilac and Rose.

I'm already jealous of whoever is winning this duo! The Lilac and Rose Collection features fresh, modern shades of the eponymous flowers. I love the concept of the heather gray-lilac palette, and the Lilac Gloss (which I'm giving away) is such a wearable almost magenta shade.

This was a difficult decision as there are about four regular, wonderful commenters who are all equally deserving of the Charm vegan brush set. However I only have one set to give away, so I did a raffle to decide who wins this round. And it's Maybelle Guzman. :) Congratulations Maybelle! Please email me your address so I can have your gift shipped.

For February I'm going to give away products from a brand that I love to distraction. It's Fairydrops! Cheryl, the distributor, is once again generous enough to sponsor three of her brand's best-selling and most coveted items: the Fairydrops Candy Bar BB Cream (my fave BB cream), Volume Burst Mascara, and the non-waterproof version of VB in the pink tube. Read my reviews to see just how well these products perform. ;)

Whoever wins this will have fabulous skin and lashes for the next few months, indeed. Now please don't forget to like the Fairydrops Philippines Facebook Page to catch updates and promos!

I'm sure some of you have already guessed what I'm giving away to the best commenter this January. It's the complete Charm Vegan Brush Set (P2,500)! I love this set, and I use these brushes on a daily basis. My favorite one is the pointed domed smudger brush - really good for detail eyeshadow work. The concealer and powder brushes are also standouts in this collection. 

You can check my full review here, or if you would like to purchase, here's the order link.  ;)

Okay, same mechanics as before! Every month, I'll pick a commenter on my blog. She must be able to leave useful comments, such as sharing feedback about a product I reviewed.

Hi folks! I finally have the commenter of the month for October. She is Lian Palermo! I super appreciate that she comments on my posts almost as quickly as I publish them. That's not an easy feat considering I don't often post within a set time. Love it.  Congratulations, Lian! Please email me your full name, address, and contact number.

And now, for this month's gift. :) I will be giving away Snoe Beauty products to the lucky Commenter of the Month.

Jen Gerodias-Diaz, the owner of Snoe, was so kind to let me choose literally anything I want to give away. So I dropped by their store in Market! Market! and shopped for their latest and best items just for this. :D Hope you like what I chose! Of course I got the Hair Heroes and the Oatmeal soap, two of my super duper favorite finds from the brand. Then I added the Poudre Phenomenon, a medium-coverage loose powder that has SPF30 and acai berry. I just got my own pot last Saturday and I've been using it since then.

Hi guys! I finally have a name. It was a difficult decision as many of you were commenting almost everyday, so what I did was, I put all the names in a bowl and picked one randomly. So! The winner is Jaja. Please email me  your full name, address, and contact number.

For October I have a big prize to the lucky commenter of the month. Avon kindly sponsored all these goodies for this giveaway! I was actually just asking for a set of lipsticks and maybe a couple of blushes, but they pulled out all the stops for this massive set of some of the best Avon pieces.

The winner will be getting nineteen products:

This was a difficult choice since there were a few wonderful avid commenters last August, but I only have one set of Clinique Pore Refining Solutions to give away. I've chosen Jennifer Castillo (ManilaJen) as my Commenter of the Month for August, as she has also been active not just on my blog but on my Facebook page and Twitter as well!

Don't worry though, because I have an awesome September gift for the next winner! She will get four of my top eye makeup of all time - from none other than K-Palette!

The winner will get the K-Palette Lasting 2-Way Eyebrow, Zero Kuma Concealer, and  two Real Lasting Eyeliners. Cheryl of K-Palette Philippines was really kind to sponsor this one as I believe that this set is worth almost P4,000.
