How to get free makeup

At the top of every month or somewhere around there, I like to take 1.5 hours and enter in all the magazine sweepstakes I can find:

Allure: They have a monthly grand prize and like 5 sweepstakes where the first 500 people to enter win free stuff at noon of 5 specific week days at the top of every month.  To win the 1st come 1st serve, you need to count down the seconds.  I have won $200+ from Allure sweepstakes from the August 6x daily sweepstakes.
Glamour: Several monthly sweepstakes, enter once.  I have won $200 of jewelery before.
Teen Vogue: Several monthly sweepstakes, enter once.
Teen Vogue All Access: Several monthly sweepstakes, enter once. I have won a bottle of perfume before
Seventeen: Several monthly sweepstakes, enter once.  There are also daily sweepstakes that require codes.
Lucky: Lots of monthly/bi monthly sweepstakes, enter once.
Redbook: Some monthly sweeps, enter once.  Daily sweepstakes can be entered once a day per sweepstakes.  I have won a $112 body product set before
Elle: Several monthly sweepstakes, enter daily.
Elle Decor: Several monthly sweepstakes, enter daily.
Elle Girl: Several monthly sweepstakes, enter daily.
Good Housekeeping: Some monthly sweeps and daily ones.  Enter once
Marie Claire: Some monthly sweeps, enter once.  Daily sweepstakes can be entered once a day per sweepstakes.
Cosmopolitan: Daily sweepstakes, enter daily per sweepstakes.
Woman's Day: Several monthly sweepstakes, enter daily.
Allure Virtual Store: Several monthly sweepstakes, enter once.
Harper's Bazaar:Daily sweepstakes, enter daily per sweepstakes.
In Touch Weekly:Weekly sweepstakes, enter daily per sweepstakes.
Glamalert:Several monthly sweepstakes, enter once.
Lucky Style Spotter: Several monthly sweepstakes, enter once.
Self:Several monthly sweepstakes, enter once.

When you start doing sweepstakes, you really have to stay optimistic because it takes a lot to enter in so many, but your chances are so slim.  If you dedicate yourself to it, you should win something every couple months.

Join the Glamspotter program for chances to win beauty products by taking surveys.  L'oreal Consumer Panel also offers products occasionally for surveys (I have received $24 of hair stuff).  Become a Bzzagent to join campaigns where they send you free makeup (I have received $60 of makeup).  Earn points on MyPoints and Swagbucks to receive gift cards that can be used to purchase makeup (I have received $40+ in giftcards).

I also post a blog whenever there is free makeup available at Sephora; coupons will get you free makeup just about every week.  Learn how to coupon here.  I also post weekly savings posts for beauty products from drugstores.
