Thanks to all those who mailed or faxed in entries for the contest, offered by the Star-Bulletin and Neiman Marcus. There were enough entries to fill three huge mail bins, far too much for our weary eyes to count.

The lucky winners are:

Dale Okumura of Mililani, a student in nursing, whose last makeup purchase was face powder. She is the winner of the Trish McEvoy collection that features a small makeup "planner," two eye shadows, one nail color, Highlights lip gloss, Glycolic Body Lotion and more.

Sharon Quia of Kaneohe, who is sure she will have to share her prize with at least one of her four daughters who had also entered the contest. She takes home the Laura Mercier collection of Foundation Primer, mascara, "Mauve" Eye Colour, "Coral" Lip Colour, "Chestnut" lip pencil and a velour puff.

Lori Bogle of Honolulu, a credit union loan processor who says she has to face people all day. She won the Bobbi Brown collection featuring Exfoliating Face Wash, Sunless Tanning Face Gel, Cream Blush Stick, thickening mascara, SPF 15 Lip Shine, Lip Gloss and Nail Sheer.

Congratulations all!

HPA hosts horse show

This weekend horse lovers have a chance to watch equestrians in action at the 23rd Annual Horse Trials and Dressage Show at the Hawaii Preparatory Academy's upper campus in Waimea, Hawaii.

The trials consist of three events where each rider must use the same horse. In the first event, riders show their horsemanship by making their horses perform some difficult steps and gaits. Then, the horses and their masters will gallop and jump over natural obstacles in the cross country jumping, and in the last test, competitors will perform a stadium of show jumps. Scores for the three events will be determined by the penalty points each rider receives.

In the dressage competition, each rider will gain up to 10 points by making their horse perform a series of prescribed movements. The equestrian with the highest percentage will win this event.

The show will be Saturday and Sunday. For more information, call Judy Folk at 1-808-885-4302 or Franz Solmssen at 1-808-885-4143.
