[CLOSED] Competition: Win Benefit Cosmetics with Benefit & Funny Women

Tuesday, 31 July 2012
benefit 4
"Laughter is the best cosmetic, so grin and wear it!" // They're Real mascara and The Porefessional primer*


Please note this competition is now closed. Thanks for all your entries!

This year Benefit Cosmetics have teamed up with Funny Women, leading female comedy producer, to put on a fantastic show at the Edinburgh Fringe. Funny Women at the Fringe are putting on a range of events showcasing female comedy talent throughout the festival, helped by the Benefit team and their Benebus! If you're in Edinburgh you can find the Benebus parked beside George Square Gardens, with the Benefit ladies giving out complimentary 'make-uppers' and goodie bags. The Funny Women shows will be on at the Bosco-Assembly Theatre (George Square) from the 3rd to the 26th August between 2-3pm. I will definitely be heading along to watch the semi-finals of this year's Funny Women Awards on the 8th of August, I can't wait! Any other Scottish bloggers heading along?

Sadly many of you won't be able to make it to the Benebus though, which is where this competition comes in! If you fancy winning yourself some Benefit goodies, all you have to do is tell me your best joke. It can be about anything, just make sure it's funny! I'll choose my favourite two jokes at the end of the competition, and pass your details on to the Benefit ladies so they can send you your prize. Make sure you read the following quick rules before you enter:

1. The competition will be open for one week, and will close at midnight on Tuesday 7th August.
2. Please leave your email and/or blog address so I can contact you if you win.
3. You must be a follower of my blog, either through Google Friend Connect or Bloglovin.
4. Open to international readers - anyone can enter!
5. There will be two winners. You may enter more than once if you think of another excellent joke, but you can only win once.

The lovely Jasmine from Benefit sent me a couple of products to try out, and I can confirm that both They're Real and The Porefessional (which now has new Spygal packaging) are brilliant. So if you'd like to win yourself some similar goodies, just leave a comment with your favourite joke! Here's one to start you off: why did the mushroom go to the party? Because he was a fungi. BOOM.

Go, go, funny ladies!

They saw him, and bobbed under the water calling out to him that he would not make them come out while he was there. He relied, 'No problem. I only came down to feed the alligator!'

  30. Hi my boyfriend was in Edinburgh thought out the weekend and I have asked to walk past the Gorge Square Gardens so he could pick up a goody bag for me since I couldn't be there but when he got there they said that they are not giving away any
    complimentary 'make-uppers' or goodie bags... ? I'm just a bit disappointed because I was hoping for one after reading this post and I was so excited that my boyfriend was able to pick one up but they weren't doing that ? :( xx

    1. Hello! :) I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid I don't actually know much about the process - I haven't even had time to go to the Benebus myself yet! I would imagine that the Benefit ladies would only be able to give makeuppers and goodie bags to people that turned up to the Benebus in person, otherwise they would potentially have to give out hundreds of goodie bags to people who hadn't even gone to festival! I know it's a bit disappointing, but I suppose it's only fair! x

    how do you get a giraffe in the fridge in three steps? - open the door, put him in, shut the door.

    how do you put an elephant in the fridge in four steps? - open the door, take the giraffe out, shut the door

    all the animals in the kingdom are having a party, which animal doesn't come? the elephant, because he's still in the fridge

    As he turns to go to the front desk, he accidentally bumps into a woman
    beside him and as he does, his elbow goes into her breast. They
    are both quite startled.

    The man turns to her and says, "Ma'am, if your heart is as soft as
    your breast, I know you'll forgive me."

    She replies, "If your penis is as hard as your elbow, I'm in room 436.
