Freebie Friday: Win $250 in Beauty Goodies

Friday, March 8th, 2013

Happy Friday, pretties!

While organizing my beauty products last week, I realized that I have far too many perfectly new, absolutely fabulous products just taking up space in my “medicine cabinet,” so to speak.

And, as I’ve already established here, decluttering and organizing my cosmetic collection is a big enough job to keep me busy. Why not turn to you to help take on some of the work?

That said, I rounded up some of my absolutely favorite products (all new of course) and wrapped them all up in one of my favorite cosmetic bags for corralling make up, and I’m offering it all to one lucky winner this Freebie Friday.

The bag and contents are worth over $250 and include products from IT Cosmetics, Fusion Beauty, EnvyDerm, Nurture bath and body and Moroccan Oil, to name a few.

To enter the contest, do at least one of the following:

#1) Leave a comment on this post. You do not need to post your email address, just leave a comment.

#2) Write a post linking to this contest. That would be super. Be sure to leave a trackback to this post.

#3) Tweet, tweet! Just tweet me @mrsbrundage and tag it #glamgiveaway.

#4) Find and follow me on Instagram (@prettycitycarolyn) and post a comment about anything ;) Tag your post with #glamgiveaway.

Multiple entries are allowed. Winner will be notified on 3/11/13 and packages will be sent out immediately. Sorry, contest is only open to those living in the USA. The winner will be chosen randomly from all entries.

Have a glam weekend!

Freebie Friday: Powder your Nose, Glamorously

Friday, September 2nd, 2011

I’ve heard some say that one should never put on makeup in public. I disagree. It’s not the act of putting on makeup that’s tacky, it’s how some women do it.

You know that beaten up compact that holds the last precious pieces of a favorite powder? Or, the lip gloss that’s seen so much action, you now have to dig the applicator around the sides of the tube as if you’re on a treasure hunt?  Leave those at home.

I have a small jar full of crushed pieces of a once-compact-powder-blush that I just love.  I use it nearly every day, but I don’t take it on the road.

What I do take with me everywhere, however, is a Model Mirror from Les Tai Tai (pronounced lay tie tie). This chic compact boasts built in LED lights ideal for any low-light situation, think club, dark restrooms, airplane cabins and the like.  The light turns on and off via a button on the right side of the mirror. The Model Mirror also offers up 2X magnification on the illuminated side.

Available in a variety of designs, I’m enamored with the Excuse Moi and Good as Gold designs, shown here. Also taken with the collection are celebrities such as Mila Kunis, Alexa Chung and Gisele Bündchen. 

Model Mirrors are available for $25 online at lestaitai.com. Plus, one of my pretties will win the Good as Gold design this week. Just leave a comment below and let me know which design from lestaitai.com that you most adore!

Happy Freebie Friday, my pretties -)

Freebie Friday: A Skin Saving Duo

Friday, August 26th, 2011

I discovered the LaROCCA collection when we featured them in the Beauty closet a few months back. I was instantly hooked (thanks in part to the proprietary cellular gold complex that brightens skin). This week, I’ve got two products from LaROCCA — worth $115  — for one lucky lady.

To win, please post your entry in the comments section of my blog below. No need to post your email; I have it.  This weekend, I’ll pick a winner.

LaROCCA 24K Gold Vitamin Repair Mist (normally $25)

LaROCCA Vitamin Repair Mist

Stop environmental pollutants associated with daily life and the sun’s harmful rays from aging your skin. This ultra-moisturizing Vitamin Repair Mist with active plant extracts and encapsulated bioactives repairs and calms skin, helping to prevent damage from UVA and UVB rays. Key ingredients include Boerhavia Diffusa Root Extract to soothe irritated and sensitive skin; Ophiopogon Japonicus Root Extract, which has antibacterial properties and Green Tea Leaf Extract, a potent antioxidant that defends against free radicals, leaving your skin hydrated, smooth and radiant.

LaROCCA Skincare’s Daily Hydrating Moisturizer (normally $90)

A weightless invisible veil containing hyaluronic acid and LaROCCA’s revolutionary cellular gold complex, made with 24K gold that creates an ideal environment to boost the energy for the regeneration of new skin cells and protecting them from free radicals.

Freebie Friday: Goods from the Beauty Closet

Friday, July 1st, 2011

The Beauty Closet — our exclusive “closet” full of beauty deals — reopens the Monday after July 4th and, in its honor, today’s Freebie Friday is a bevy of my favorite beauty items that I personally pulled from past closets.

Tell me which one, or ones, you want to win (and why) and I’ll be sure to see what I can do about winning you some beauty deals of your very own.

Borlind of Germany’s Orange Blossom Energizer (normally $35.99)

Annemarie Börlind’s Orange Blossom Energizer is a Facial Moisturizer and Treatment ideal for poorly moisturized, tired, stressed and sun-damaged skin. Used after cleansing and toning, Orange Blossom Energizer smoothes wrinkles and fine lines while revitalizing and strengthening skin.

LaROCCA Skincare’s Daily Hydrating Moisturizer (normally $90)

A weightless invisible veil containing hyaluronic acid and LaROCCA’s revolutionary cellular gold complex, made with 24K gold that creates an ideal environment to boost the energy for the regeneration of new skin cells and protecting them from free radicals.

Sella’s Nano Natural Premium Cleansing Bar and Makeup Remover (normally $36)

 

The Science behind a perfect complexion starts with nanotechnology, the process of reducing particle sizes to 10-100 nanometers. One nm is equivalent to the size of four atoms, or one ten thousandth of a human hair. Once ingredients are nanosized, they are able to deeply penetrate all layers of the skin. That’s the science behind Sella’s Premium Nano Natural Facial Cleansing Bar.

Freebie Friday: Handpicked by Moi

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Spring Beauty

Like any true beauty lover, I can hardly walk into Walgreens, Target or CVS without leaving with some new beauty product or hair care gadget. And it’s not that I need something new, nor is it that I don’t have enough high-end products, it’s just that, frankly, I love sparkle and shine.

I must confess, I also love how Essie’s Big Spender polish and Maybelline’s Volum’Express Mascara complemented the colors in this chic little makeup bag. So, I picked one up for you.

To win, send me a tweet @prettycity, leave a comment below or post a comment on our prettycity facebook wall.

Have a beautiful spring weekend, my pretties.

Freebie Friday: Sweet Earth

Friday, April 22nd, 2011

While working on a story this week, I discovered these natural Artisan Soaps from Terra Dolce.

 
 

Terra Dolce Artisan Soap in "Jolt"

 

 

Hand-crafted in Florida of exquisite, natural ingredients and wrapped in eco-friendly packaging, Terra Dolce’s handmade products became a quick favorite (and a shoe in for my upcoming story).

Jolt, one of my fast favorites, calls upon natural peppermint and eucalyptus to decongest, freshen, cool and soothe.

 
 

Terra Dolce Soaps for you!

 


Stay tuned for more info about this craveable collection (available online at terradolcesoap.com) and, while you’re waiting, I would love to hear which Dolce soap you are coveting.  Check out the line here and then comment below, comment on Facebook, or tweet  @prettycity @terradolce with your fave scent and several of you will get exactly what you want this oh-so-happy Earth Day.
