Fashion and Beauty Contests - Jan. 2009

Here's a roundup of fashion and beauty-related contests for the first month of 2009. I already posted the giveaways coming up on Ideeli here (including a Valentino bag and a Prada bracelet) but there are tons more out there! If you have any New Year's Resolutions about cutting back on your spending, one way to make that easier is to increase the amount of contests you enter. If you search hard enough, you can find giveaways for just about anything - including soap, laundry detergent, and Pledge (click the links to enter to win those if you're interested)! With all the money you'll save by winning such necessities, you can buy more fun things like clothes and shoes - or just win those too! Remember, if you don't enter, you can't win. Try your luck on some of these contests!
