What a great idea for a contest. Your rules seem very fair to everyone, and your requirement for use of a specific product is clearly a condition of entry, no different than an entry fee or a deadline postmark. Publisher's Clearinghouse is a "no purchase necessary" contest which is mailed out on a order form for the purchase of magazines...it would be illegal for them to give an unfair advantage to those who purchase magazines where the contest is advertised "no purchase necessary". In this case the "entry" condition is the use of a product from Cimerone's store, and not a free item. These rules are extremely fair, and given the number of people who entered the last time, it seems if some people don't enter the odds go up for those who do!....off I go to see what I can see in Cimerone's store...I know I saw brushes I liked...
