Lucky magazine sweepstakes?

Lilykind · Hermes

I've won two.

A Benetint lip gloss (it sucks and I only use it at bedtime because I look like a streetwalker when I put it on) and a Diane Medak cami/underwear set (I like it a lot, though I never would paid the $106 retail for it or something like that)

Ok, you have renewed my hope. I swear, I've entered a billion and nothing!

ILoveChoo · Hermes

I never remember to enter them, but I know a few girls on here have gotten some great stuff. Didn't someone win a active endeavors shopping spree not too long ago?

luckylily · Gucci

Yeah, I've won three of the smaller Lucky sweepstakes. I also won a pair of Manolos from Bluefly and a bunch of cleaning supplies from ivillage (which was totally random because it was the one and only time i ever went to the ivillage site). Anyway, I think it is totally worth the 20 seconds it takes to fill out the form.

boobaby · Kate Spade

I won Sally Hershberger Face Volumizer a few months ago. I'm still not sure how to use it. I assume it's for wrinkles. It came in a padded envelope with no note or instructions. I'm too lazy to look it up online, but I do know it was worth $50!

jaymiek · Coach

I haven't been entering them as much lately, but in the past I've won two- a Victoria's Secret body powder and a Stila lip glaze and lip liner set.
If I remember correctly, it was leahleanna who won that awesome Active Endeavors shopping spree.

NCshopper · Hermes

I won the same Diane Medak thong/cami set that Lilykind won. I should enter these things more often. I always forget...

laken1 · Hermes

I won a huge box of jewelry from alltherage.com. It just showed up on my doorstep one day - I called the number on the return label & they were very nonchalent - "oh yeah, you were a luckybreaks winner" - it was fun though!

Whoa, that's cool. I like the element of surprise.

zeitgeist4 · Gucci

I have won 2 things from Lucky:

swimsuit (that the swimsuit company never followed through on, so I never got it)
Dermalogica skin care pack

luckyclover · Dooney & Bourke

I was one of the first however many people to sign up for a neutrogena makeup bag with a few things in it and the new sunscreen but haven't gotten either one yet. It said wait 6-8 weeks for delivery but I've recieved about 3 lucky magazines since then. I'll have to find the old issue and email them to see why I never recieved it.

Cortney1982 · Chanel

I've won more stuff than I can count from Lucky. Some really good stuff too! Though it's been a while since I have won anything, I think more people are entering now which is slimming my chances down.

luckyclover · Dooney & Bourke

Well I finally got something in the mail. It was supposed to be 2 lipglosses and a power and eyeshadow in a little bag. I got a lipgloss- which is still better than nothing so I'm not complaining. I'm still waiting to see if they send the sunscreen or not. I'm not holding my breath though.

Tashina · Kate Spade

i have been entering threir contests for 2 years straight and never won anything.

i also try the allure free stuff. i set my alarm and everything so that i am on a nd ready to push submit at 9:ooam on the dot(i'm on the west coast) and never recieved anything from that either.

Kitty · Hermes

I wonder if it matters whether or not you say you want to get on their mailing list...

HA! Sometimes, I'm like should I check this box or not since I would really like the prize! That's why you should have a separate e-mail specifically for entering stuff. They say it doesn't effect your chances but who knows!

I've never won anything either and I have been entering every single contest from the first issue of Lucky breaks. I've only won one sweepstakes of this nature-- it was a Fashionhag contest for a cute hat. I'm shocked that there are people on here that have won more than once. I guess I'm just not 'lucky' (bad pun--hehe-sorry).

cahabo · Kate Spade

I don't enter anymore, but I once won some pefume. Mary Kay's Velocity. I loved it and used every last drop!

It definitely doesn't affect your chances!! I work for a diff mag and used to completely coordinate all of our sweepstakes. It's a zillion percent illegal to use anything as a consideration (it has to be random chance for anyone who enters), and I'm sure their legal department takes it just as seriously as ours does. :) That said, I've entered like every Lucky and Bluefly sweeps ever and I've never won anything. Sad!
