Hey, I just want to start this off by saying thank you to all of you who’ve been reading along and sending in deals and shopping through the site, this year. I am very thankful for all of you! And I hope you’re finding that even in these uncertain economic times, some of the deals here mean you can still afford a treat or two.
And so—much like the recent Clarisonic contest—this is a chance to give something back to you, a little bit of pampering by way of thanks.
Viviscal is a specially formulated vitamin to promote healthy hair growth. Does it work? Well, Cosmo called it the “miracle mane” pill, and it’s apparently good enough to cost $49.95/box. I’ll admit to being intrigued. DermaScyne is an anti-aging dermal activation serum by AminoGenesis designed to help reverse the effects of aging and keep your face gorgeous. Does it work? I certainly hope so, because it costs $139 for a 2-ounce bottle.
I have two boxes of Viviscal and two containers of DermaScyne to give away to two lucky Want Not readers (one of each). Each pair is worth $189 (!) apiece. And will make you lovely. Or at least more expensive.
Want a shot at winning one of these two sets? Simply leave a comment on this post before 11:59 p.m. Eastern (8:59 p.m. Pacific) on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008. Valid email address required; one comment per person; I will not construe your entry as an admission of less-than-prettiness, because you’re already excruciatingly gorgeous, darling. Winners to be determined by random number generation and beauty marks.
Ready? Go!
I NEED this…
Here’s my comment!
I really need this! My hair still thinks I’m 3 years old! Trust me. Thin and stringy is NOT cute!
i want-fix this face-thankyou
I’m in.
I may have the mane of a lion (a curly lion, if there is such a beast) BUT I would like to look a little younger than my 41 years!
Thank you!
Count me in!
Hey… it’s worth a try! But, then again, finding time to shower daily has always picked me up, too.

Um, yeah hi – that’s me right now.
Wish me luck!

OMG! Your contests rock!!!
Hoping for the miracle grow hair for my sister…
I just had a baby.
Well, it’s worth a shot, eh?
I would consider this my holiday gift to myself!
Oh, why the heck not? (Come on, random number generator…)
Oooh, another nice contest! Thanks, Mir!
Dying your hair is no longer fun when you do it to hide the grays!
I’m Reaaaaaaaaadddddddyyyyyy!
My face gets older every day, so I’ll take the cream… and my son shaved the cat, so maybe we’ll see what miracles Viviscal can do with Mr. Chuck…
Oh please you have no idea how badly I need for something this Christmas to bring me out of the doldrums of unemployment! I would love to have a Happy Freebie!!

I have been both blessed and cursed with my father’s hair. This would be great to see if it improves the ‘cursed’ part…
This would be awesome, thank you so much Mir!
Oooh, ooooh, pick me! Pick me!
Random Number Generator, generate yourself my way!
Now only if they made a pill that magically gave me all the benefits of exercising!
I wasn’t going to enter this contest, not because I think I’m so beautiful I don’t need this, but because I’m in my late 20s and figure others would want this more than me (even though I’m starting to see the effects of gravity when I inspect myself closely). However, if RNG picks me, I would give my prize to commenter #33, Dana, because I know what it’s like having a 19 month old still not sleeping through the night.
Oh, to have hair again. After having five kids, the hair just kind of thins, you know? Or maybe you don’t know, and then you would be happy not to know. You know?
Like so many, my hair is kind of, well, hideous, after having kids so the random number generator can feel free to pick me…
I DO like to think that there is a product out there that will magically make me truly pretty, maybe this is it!
Sign me up! I would love to be beautiful!
With this latest batch of Psoriasis having lasted over a year, my hair and scalp are in desperate need of some serious attention. My daughter is having her Bat Mitzvah in FOUR months, and I’d love to be able to do something nice with my hair so as not to embarrass her.
Pretty Mir, can you make my hair pretty?
Yes, please make me prettier! Does it do thinner as well?

Ha…at this point, I’ll try anything prettier.
I have to win one of these contests eventually.
My HUSBAND needs the hair stuff while I will always appreciate anything that makes me look younger!
I definitely don’t measure up to “excruciatingly gorgeous”, not even plain gorgeous, and could use the help. I’m looking forward to singing: “I feel pretty, Oh, so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and bright!”
Count me in.
Either of these would be great — thanks! Hope I’ve got the lucky number this time
