NIVEA Lip Care and GIVEAWAY – Closed

I am pretty faithful to old school Carmex, so it takes quite a bit for me to love something new. Leave it to the classic, European brand, NIVEA, to give Carmex a run for its money. I worked with the brand for a challenge a couple weeks back (look for my Instagram and Twitter pics with hashtag #LipService). Each day that week, I tried a new variety of NIVEA Lip Care. And I can safely say I will have these stashed everywhere from now on.

My favorite was the A Kiss of Milk and Honey Soothing Lip Care. It is perfect for nighttime, but I actually like the soothing formula at work for a little stress break. My other favorite is A Kiss of Shimmer for just a hint of color and shine. Really they were all winners across the board.

It has been a long time since I have done a giveaway. And I am happy to report that I am bringing one back today! Just comment below on which NIVEA Lip Care would be your pick. Next week I will pick one winner to receive their prize! Good luck and happy Friday.

a note: giveaway is open to US residents. winner will be announced on Thursday, April 21st.

Thanks for stopping by and entering the giveaway! The winner has been chosen.

ULTA’s Lorac Dazzling Dozen 2 Eye Shadow Collection

A little follow up from this post announcing the start of ULTA‘s twice yearly 21 Days of Beauty – I will be sharing some of my favorite products from the prize pack I am giving away below over the next couple of days. While I have always liked LORAC, it isn’t a brand that is heavy in my rotation. That all has changed now that I have my paws on their Dazzling Dozen 2 Eye Shadow Collection.

Exclusively at ULTA, the set includes twelve shadows that are silky and pigmented. I love using my fingers to play with all the wearable shades. For work, I have been wearing a wash of neutral colors from the top row. Last weekend, I added some glam with Gilded just at the center of my lids. Black Light makes for a stunning, glittery smokey eye.

Shades include (left to right):

Top Row: Blanc, Bone, Soft Pink
Second Row: Caramel, Rose, Acai
Third Row: Gilded, Denim, Sage
Bottom Row: Ecru, Storm, Black Light

Each day through 4/4, ULTA will feature a “Beauty Steal” and a “Beauty Focus Day” – Beauty Steals are special offers on top beauty products & Beauty Focus Days feature demonstrations like customized makeup lessons, expert beauty tips, and one-on-one appointments. 21 Days of Beauty brands include Stila, Urban Decay, IT Cosmetics, Bare Minerals, Benefit, Too Faced and more.

Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy Gold Couture Eau de Parfum and GIVEAWAY

As always, I am going to be perfectly honest. Before checking out the newest fragrance from Juicy Couture, I couldn’t help but cringe at the memories of my velour track suits circa 1999. Oh but how things have changed. I tested out this scent at a big event at the beginning of September and was flooded with compliments. Our little Juicy is all grown up.

Viva la Juicy Gold Couture is surprisingly sophisticated but still has that gourmand vanilla and caramel that I love. I don’t think I’ll ever get away from loving those cozy and warm scents. Naturally, I have my favorite amber in there too. It is all balanced with honeysuckle and berries. So take a trip back to your college days with me and go Juicy – trust me… the throwback is all worth it.

Want to roll the dice? Your chance to win a full-size bottle is right here. Just enter using the widget below to win your own bottle of Viva la Juicy Gold Couture Fragrance for yourself. Good luck! (US Only)
