The Great Asian Secrets Giveaway: P40,000 worth of prizes!
Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 6:41AM THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED. THE WINNERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN ANNOUNCED.
I've written before that Indonesian lulur was originally invented for brides who need to look beautiful on their special day. It helps slough off dead skin cells without removing moisture and, if used regularly, should even out and lighten your skin! But of course, great skin, while an absolute must-have, isn't the only thing you need to have on your wedding day. There are other details you need to take care of to get that makeover before the big day!
Asian Secrets wants to congratulate all brides-to-be* out there by giving them a chance to win a full body makeover package worth P15,000. It will include a relaxing spa day, waxing, hair cut, color, facial, nails, makeup lessons, and other similar treatments in the best salons all over the metro. Aside from that, we will also be giving the lucky bride a beauty loot worth P5,000 which she can use on her wedding day. I will be personally handpicking what goes in there (definitely NARS, MAC, and other favorites!). She will also win a supply of Asian Secrets.
Not a bride-to-be? Don't worry! There will be a second winner. The winner will get a 32 gig iPod Touch to help with her daily productivity and lifestyle. She will also get a beauty loot worth P6,000 full of goodies to be handpicked by me. She will also win a supply of Asian Secrets.
My gosh, I already envy the winners. Here's how to join!
Contest mechanics
1. Simply write an answer to this question!
For the brides: The big day draws near and you have to look perfect. How do you plan to look your best? Youʼre encouraged to talk about your gown, makeup artist, desired look, motif, beauty rituals, and how Asian Secrets can help you on your big day.
For the general readers: What are your beauty secrets? Youʼre encouraged to talk about the beauty products, tips, tricks that you swear by, plus how Asian Secrets can be incorporated in your routine.
2. Once you have it, blog your answer (+1 entry) and/or post it as a note on Facebook (+1 entry). Donʼt forget to include four things: your answer to the question, the contest poster, mechanics, and link to the contest page. You can also promote this contest on Twitter (+1 entry), and Plurk (+1 entry) for more chances of winning. For Twitter and Plurk entries, include the hashtag #asiansecrets.
3. Post all the direct links of your entries in the comments page (below). Donʼt forget this step, because without it, we wonʼt know you joined! Also include a valid email address.
Weʼll be picking the grand winners based on the quality of your answer and how well you promote your entry online. The contest will run from September 8 to October 1, 12 noon. We will be announcing the winner on 6pm. Good luck!
PS - To make things fun, I will be randomly picking two commenters in this post to win two jars of Asian Secrets. I will announce the winners here by September 18. They can pick up the lulur in the Makati office. Details to be emailed to winners.
*Brides-to-be meaning your wedding will happen after the conclusion of the contest, which is October 1.
Reminders:
- This contest is open only to those who live or can travel to Metro Manila. Transportation will not be reimbursed.
- The winner who wins the bridal package should be personally available on the whole day of October 2, Saturday, for the makeover and turnover of products, which I will cover for my blog. Date is tentative and may be moved.
- The winner of the iPod + makeup should be available on October 2 to personally claim the products from me. No shipping. Date is tentative and may be moved.

Must find a groom ASAP. I don't mind popping the question myself (damn traditions, heh) just so I can qualify for the top prize! Though, come to think of it, the iPod Touch sure is sweet! Sweet enough reason for me to stay single for
evera little while longer. Hehe.Dilemma, dilemma.
Liz, I have to say that I'm tempted to NOT sleep today so I can write a post that will (hopefully) blow you away. This is way cool!
*Brides-to-be meaning your wedding won't be after the conclusion of the contest, which is October 1.
Hi Liz... So if my wedding is December, I can't join? :(
Hey Sasha! Hahahaha. Sino yung Special Other mo? *chismosa* Okay ribbing aside, please sleep first!!!
Hi December Bride! Yes you can definitely join. :) That quote you mentioned - I'm simply saying that if the wedding is before October 1 (when the contest ends) then the contestant is not qualified. Because the point of this contest is to help one special bride get a great makeover BEFORE her wedding day.
Can't wait for your entry!
Oooh! I wanna be one of that random commenters who gets a free jar of Asian Secrets!
I will jooooin, sana I don't forget hrhrhrhr.

Hello there, I really want my friend to join this, Im hoping I could join but in name of her not mine. She's a december bride to be and I would love to surprise her with this. Is it possible Ms. Liz?

Liz! Can I join in behalf of my sister? She doesn't have a blog but she's a bride to be, her wedding's on December. :) I will make her answer the questions but I'll be the one to post. Let me know!:)
Nice! I'll be marrying the love of my life next year. Must find time to churn out an entry for this!
THIS IS A WONDERFUL PROMO FOR THE GIRLS... BEING BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT! SINCE MOST OF THE FILIPINA ARE VERY METICULOUS WHEN IT COMES TO IMPROVING THEIR PERSONALITY AND BEING CONFIDENT IN A POSITIVE WAY... GIRL POWER!
My wedding entourage is already complete...I already have church, list of ninongs and ninangs, abays, reception, etc. Problem is......I dont have a groom yet....tsk...tsk...tsk.... but i still want to join...
I will definitely put on asian secrets to pamper me and be relaxed plus have my 8 hrs of beauty sleep. I can achieve this by not worrying about my suppliers because they're all set up .That includes my wedding gown,make up artist ,videographer ,photographer for my wedding preps before I go to the church.I'll surely have the time of my life.
Hi. I don't have a blog, but I have a twitter account. Can I join the contest if I post my answer and post the link to this page on my twitter?
